List,
I have added a small How-To on the wiki about
composing / viewing plain text emails using Web Based
Yahoo! Mail.
http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Plaintext_Emails
This may not be useful for many (active) on the list,
because, I assume most use a email client!
However, I believe, there are newbies entering the
world of GNU/Linux everyday, and finding out these
mailing lists and sending off emails to the list.
Unknowingly, the send HTML emails, which are blocked
for obvious reasons. Therefore, this How-To is aimed
at newbies to send plain text emails to the list.
I would also like to suggest, that for new
registrations of subscriptions to the list, the
*welcome* email (the one that is sent after
confirmation of registration) /should/ include a link
to this How-To to help individuals know how to send
plain text emails. :)

I think tht is very reasonable. There are no MPs or
Union ministers in Mumbai who would notice or care
about MTNL services, whereas in Delhi they are
practically dropping off the treetops. Of course they
may not care about MTNL either, but the pain if hey do
notice is much higher, hence the differential service
levels.
On the train two days back, I met an MTNL staffer who
was very loyal and vociferous about MTNL standards. He
told me that I should apply for a very cheap Garuda
CDMA, Rs 1,000 for two year rent free service and Rs
1,000 free talktime, excellent connectivity (he said).
Does anyone know whether it has built-in data
connectivity to compete with DSL?

Is there a similar book on shell programming like Y Kanetkar's Unix Shell
Programming, but one that is current. Kanetkar's book is quite old and no
new editions. I need a book which has lots of exercises like Kanetkar's and
is easy too like the one.

I have quite a few nice Unix/Linux and Security books (mostly Oreilly) which
I do not use but they are in good condition and not that old that anyone
can't use it. Is there a place I can donate them where people can really
make use of them? They are 10 - 12 big books.

Hello List,
Logged on to Triband's home page today, and the
marquee scrolling on their page (just below the flash
animation) says, "For best Triband Usage ... Linux O.
S. with LAN port..."
(Did someone notice this before me?)
So, their department (dealing with Triband) realizes
that there are individuals who use Triband with a
Linux distro!
All that they have to do now, is introduce Unlimited
plans at more reasonable rates (read 'lower') for
users. (hehe, this must be on so many wishlists ;) )
But I wonder, what sort of a support will they provide
for GNU/Linux users? Distro-specific or will they ask
users to do "command-line" tasks for configuring, in
case the user decides to switch to manual
configuration. (or whatsoever)

There is no Operating System but `GNU' and `Linux' is one of its kernels.
Hello List,
I had a task of resizing more than 30 images one by
one (of sizes as large as 3000 x 2000 pixels or a
little lesser than that) to a size 640 x 480 pixels.
I'm sure, a lot of you click high quality photos
(images of size > than 1 MB) and want to resize them
to send it through email, say as a zip file (if the
receiver wants a copy of the photos). One can upload
the photographs to a photo-sharing website, but one
wouldn't have to log on everytime to view / show the
photos.
I used the command line tool called "convert " (by
ImageMagick) to convert them. Though I knew, I could
play with files in shell scripts I didn't know
anything about the syntax. So, I searched and found
this document
http://tldp.org/linuxfocus/English/July2001/article211.shtml
Understood the syntax on the page, and wrote a script
to complete the above mentioned task.
#!/bin/sh
for f in $*;
do
convert -resize 640x480 $f t-$f
done
I have one question.
Is the $* is for argument number (or its type) for the
file that would have to be converted?
There's one thing that I noted while this script was
executing. The processor usage was around 93-100 % and
the memory usage was jumping up and down. Look at the
following picture, to know more.

code, if it helps. :)

bear has arrived". [1]
This ofcourse is an alpha version of KDE 4.0. So one step

I think you meant dpkg-scanpackages?
Took me a couple of minutes to find out this command. Thanks for
the pointer; I didn't know about it.
