[OT] Toshiba laptop consultation
by Mohan Nayaka 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

Hi all, I am planning to buy a laptop. Model: Toshiba Satellite(r) A135-S2386 Is this machine penguin-friendly or atleast, not unfriendly? Particularly, is it Beryl-friendly? Any allergies to FC6/7 ? I am keen to try out FCx more seriously now. TIA, Mohan S N P.S.: I am addressing both mail-ids since some of my mails have bounced in the past. -- "There will be plenty of time to rest in the grave"

Will The Real Open Source CRM Please Stand Up?
by Praveen A 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

"Open Source has grown up. Now it is time for us to stand up. I believe that when we do, the vendors who ignore our norms will suddenly recognize that they really do need to make a choice: to label their software correctly and honestly, or to license it with an OSI-approved license that matches their open source label. And when they choose the latter, I'll give them a shout out, as history shows. Please join me, stand up, and make your voice heard--enough is enough." by Michael Tiemann, President, Open Source Initiative Read the complete blog post http://opensource.org/node/163 Also on digg http://digg.com/linux_unix/The_Open_Source_Initiative_Finds_Its_Backbone Cheers Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് Join The DRM Elimination Crew Now! http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Anti-DRM-Campaign

by Rony 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

Hello All, The rains have hardly begun and my client's mobo was its first casualty. Its on-board LAN got zapped by lightning through the cable internet while the pc was off. Is there any small handy LAN lightning protector that can be given to all clients with cable internet? Has anyone used such a thing? -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux?

I am not even on the map which displayed half of mumbai. It does not even show prabhadevi where the mtnl gateway is located. How does it locate? it's called geoip afaik - a database of ips sorted by country and city and dont forget to draw a suitable large map. -- Rgds JTD

I beg to differ,being a newbie doesn't disqualify you from experimenting on your computer as long as you don't destroy anything.Even if you do,it's not anybody else except family business to admonish or put down the person who has committed the mistake.And BTW,by making mistakes is how you learn.......if you don't learn from others' mistakes that is.......

Fedora 7 installation: completely unexpected results
by Roshan 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

List, One of my friend, by the name Tapas, installed Fedora 7 yesterday. The experience was something that isn't expected by a mature and quality distribution like Fedora 7. The experiences mentioned in the article (review) at the following URL by the author is almost what Tapas experienced. http://www.linux.org/dist/reviews/fedora7.html Though the author of this article managed to setup things on his own (/boot/grub/menu.lst etc.), Tapas had to reboot quite a few times for his boot menu to be displayed with windows. Apart from that, none of the other hdd partitions were automatically detected and mounted. This is not an intent to flame, but rather caution new users trying to install Fedora 7. -- FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in S K Somaiya College of ASC- http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc ubunturos @ freenode Did you know?

Migrating Apache.
by Nadeem M. Khan 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

Hi. I'm in the process of migrating apache from RH9 to FC5. Its a cgi-perl driven website. Also has ssl certs. Here is how I would go about it. 1. Copy the entire document root to the new box. 2. Copy /etc/conf directory to the new box. 3. Copy the ssl certs. Am I missing something? I know its simple, but like to have inputs from people who have done it. I'm going to format the old box before installing the new OS, so I have to be absolutely sure. Regards, NMK.
