pine or mutt?
by Nikhil Joshi 09 Apr '02

09 Apr '02

Hi! I've found that there is a cult following as far as mail agents and editors are concerned. A guy who uses vi rearely uses emacs and vice versa also a guy who uses mutt rarely uses pine or any other mail agent. I would like to discuss about mail agent here (I use vi and I love it ;) I use pine and it suffices most of my needs. Has anyone used both pine and mutt extensively? What in your opinon is more powerful and user friendly? when I enter mutt the inital UI is not inviting and I'm forced to press the q key :) I've read that mutt relies on .rc file editing. I'm planning to learn mutt but I just don't want to be disappointed if I figure out that there ain't much difference between pine and mutt. -- "If we wanted more leisure, we'd invent machines that do things less efficiently." -Calvin's dad

Woody on db.ilug-bom.org.in
by Kunal Gangakhedkar 08 Apr '02

08 Apr '02

Is the Woody Distro kept at db.ilug-bom.org.in good enough??? I mean, can I download it without bothering to update it regularly??? And will the updates be available on ILUG site??? Or should I prefer Potato-R3??? I don't have fast enough connection to update it regularly...

konqueror and java applets
by Amish Mehta 08 Apr '02

08 Apr '02

Hi, I am trying to run Yahoo chat(through http://chat.yahoo.com) on konqueror but it doesnt show anything(except frames at bottom, menu frame and advt. frame) and X shows following error: Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] I did xlsfonts and found -adobe-symbol... font to be present. So I replaced --symbol with -adobe-symbol in /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02/jre/lib/fonts.properties file and the error changes to Font specified in font.properties not found [-adobe-symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] So I wonder where does it search for fonts. I have no idea about if what I did was correct so i un-did it. Is it konqueror problem, java problem or yahoo problem(only IE/Netscape allowed?)? Surprisingly, Yahoo Pool works very well in konqueror. Also yahoo chat works on Netscape without any problem. So how do I enable yahoo chat in konqueror. Do i have to install or tweak something in konqueror(or java)? I have konqueror 2.1.1(KDE 2.1.2) with java from jdk 1.3.1_02. Netscape version in communicator 4.77 with its own internal JRE. Amish.

by Vishal 07 Apr '02

Greetings. I need the Debian CDs. Am too bored to download the iso images. Can anyone kindly lend me their CDs (non-US release) ? I will just copy them and return them in a day. Else anybody selling these CDs for a reasonable cost? I also need a suggestion about whether to use Potato or Woody. I am at Lokhandwala, Andheri (W), Bombay. Please email me off-list so as not to annoy other members. Vishal.
