Linux desktops for new users
by Richard Victor Correia 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

Hi, One of my friend is in cargo business having 7 PCs. He asked me to buy windows XP licenses for all 7 PCs. His employees just check emails and work on office documents such as word, excel, powerpoint. I told him that Linux can be used easily with few hours training for above mentioned things. I also explained the stability and cost effectiveness of it. Now the question is, which distribution should we suggest? Which desktop environment? Which email client (closer to Outlook look and feel) ? Please suggest. -- Thanks, Richard Victor Correia PH: +91 9004911199

POP mail filter
by Nitesh Mistry 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

I have a POP mailbox hosted with a service provider from where I pull up my messages. I want to set up email clients on two different machine each configured to pull different categories of messages (or rather from different set of senders). How can I create filters (using fetchmail?) such that each client gets only its respective category of messages and flush them while keeping the other messages intact? One of the system is debian while other is ubuntu-jaunty. I am sure many on the list must have configured something like this and would like to learn from them. Going through fetchmail manpage while writing this. Regards, -- Nitesh <http://tech.mistrynitesh.com> -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GB/J/IT/O>TW d+(-) s+:+>: a- C+ UL>+++ P?

Lucid Lynx 10.04
by Kaushal Shriyan 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Hi, Where can i get Free Lucid Lynx Desktop and Server Editions ? The Request a CD is closed now. It says "Demand for Ubuntu CDs is very high, and we're trying to ensure that we have enough CDs for those who really need one. We've noticed that you've already received CDs of several previous Ubuntu releases. You can help us ensure the continued availability of Ubuntu CDs by * upgrading to the new release without a CD * downloading your own CD for free * becoming an Ubuntu member by contributing to Ubuntu, and thereby becoming eligible for more CDs Thanks for your support of Ubuntu!" Please suggest/guide. Thanks and Regards, Kaushal

by Suhit Kelkar 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Hi Sameep, Lots of people steal ideas in this world. i am sure you know what I mean. Certainly, Ubuntu is not one of them. There might be another way to build your distro from Ubuntu. Quite a few websites offer the facility to build custom isos online Regards Suhit Kelkar
