Ask him to go in for a C2D Machine with 6-8 Gigs of RAM with a P8600 or better processor and an Intel GMA4500 chipset or better. This is a very power efficient and cool ( as in temperature ) platform. If he wants a more mature platform ask him to go in for a C2D with GMA X3100 chipset with 4 Gigs of RAM. This runs a bit hotter ( not so much though ) and is power efficient as well. With this chipset he should get a T8300 processor. It packs a punch. Since he needs something portable and light ( and sturdy ) he should try lenovo ( Though my personal experience has been bad I'm still recommending it purely because I feel it was a one off incident ). If not, Dell would give him the best returns on his investment. If money is not a worry, he should go in for a Mac Book Pro. Don't go for mac unless he is sure the specialised maths software he wants to use is going to run on mac os - Dinesh -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers

If he wants dell, let him go to dell.co.in otherwise there are many guys in lamington road who can give what you want. I took from solution 360. They will get you models u want. Compareindia.com is also a good place. It gives u ability to shortlist based on parameters and then compare features n price. However don't necessarily look for pc with higher ram. U can take less ram and upgrade to 4 gb on ur own. Buy ram from any external source. That way u will have better choice of models saswata banerjee -----Original Message----- From: Mehul Ved <mehul.n.ved(a)gmail.com> Subj: [ILUG-BOM] Fwd: New Laptop ideas Date: Mon May 18, 2009 1:57 am Size: 1K To: "GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai, India" <linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in> Hi, I have no idea about the current available options.

Sending bulk emails to registered users - Sendmail
by Richard Correia 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi, We are using sendmail on our centos 5.2 server. We have a registered panel of more than 2,00,000 users. I need to send one email to all of them. I have written a PHP script to send email one by one. Do I need to take any special care? I have sorted all email ids by domain. Please let me know. Thanks, Richard Correia ZiZaTech.com

Browsing Security
by Rony 13 May '09

13 May '09

Hello, My family members were checking some information on google using the laptop loaded with Lenny. After some time, they got a message saying that there was a lot of trojan and 'blah blah' infection in their system and they should immediately protect it by clicking on the link provided. They called me up to ask what to do and I asked them to simply cancel it and close the window. However the window was persistent and would refuse to close. It even came to a stage where it wanted to download some exe file to protect the computer. Finally after a lot of clicking, the windows finally closed. I asked them to restart the system and clear all browsing history. After that no window has popped up in the next use. Now this is common in Windows where such popups from infected websites will download a spyware that is actually a virus disguised as an anti-virus. Getting such viruses out of the Windows systems is a real pain. They disable all admin commands too. However my worry is the persistent window that refused to go in Linux. This is mostly due to javascript enabled in the browser (Iceweasel). Luckily it was an exe file that was trying to get in and it would be useless for the Linux environment. What happens if it is a linux compatible script? Will the javascript enabling allow the script to execute? It is a little worrying. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

Hi, I am trying to setup ISPConfig 2.2.32 on CentOS 5.3 32-bit. I followed the how-to on howtoforge for CentOS 5.2[1]. The control panel is working and the emails are being delivered to the mailbox. But, I am unable to login via IMAP.1 Here's the output from telnet ----- telnet dtc.progresspartners.co.in 143 Trying 70.38.112.176... Connected to dtc.progresspartners.co.in.
