I'd like to setup a mailing list for my college discussion. For now, it needs to be a private / closed mailing list. Does anyone know where I could set one up or if any site offers free this for free? Maximum number of members is 15 - 20. There's freelists, but it publicly lists the conversations Surya

Linux installation tied to Harddisk
by Kshitiz 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

Dear Friends Want to know how to tie up an installation to a particular HDD. We do Linux implementations and had seen people ghost the whole harddisks to save on implementation charges. Currently we are using a commercial solution that costs us dear and does not let us bring down the cost of deployment. What we thus require is: 1. We can tie up the installation with the hdd serial number with some command / application that can... a. Check the harddisk serial number before booting (may be through GRUB - but to my knowledge, such a command does not exist within GRUB). b. Delete the installed partition where we have installed our deployment and applications if not matching. c. Encrypt the data partition with a key that only we can decrypt. 2. We can run our entire installation from a DVD provided that is tied with an online system which will not allow the system to boot unless the key matches with the one in our database. Thanking you in anticipation of a reply. If your reply includes a commercial proposal, please inform us accordingly on my email id privately. Regards Kshitiz

Software freedom day celebration along with Eben Moglen at IISc, Bangalore on 17th at 3p.m.
by VIGNESH PRABHU 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hi friends, This is a gentle reminder about the Software Freedom Day celebration event that FSMK is organizing along with SFLC-ND at IISc tomorrow, 17th of Sept at 3 p.m. I hope all the free software enthusiasts can come and celebrate with us Software Freedom Day and also interact with Prof. Eben Moglen. Details of the event are as follows: * Interaction with Prof.Eben Moglen on the Freedom in the Cloud at Indian Institute of Science, on 17th September , 3p.m – 5 p.m, faculty hall IISc. * Speaker: Prof. Eben Moglen Professor of Law and Legal History at Columbia University Founder, Director-Counsel & Chairman of Software Freedom Law Center Time: Fri. Sep 17 2010 3pm-5pm Venue: Faculty Hall, IISc Title of Talk: "Freedom in the Cloud: Software Freedom, Privacy and Security for Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing" Abstract: Everyone wants a piece of you these days: Google, Facebook, Flickr, Apple, AT&T, Bing. They'll give you free e-mail, free photo storage, free web hosting, even a free date. They just want to listen in. And you can't wait to let them. They'll store your stuff, they'll organize your photos, they'll keep track of your appointments, as long as they can watch. It all goes into the "Cloud." How we got here is quite a scary story. But nowhere near as scary as getting out again. This talk will discuss how much worse things have become since the pre-cloud era and explain what you can do to reclaim your freedom in the era of Web 2.0. -- Regards, Vignesh B.
