Hi, I came across an interesting interview of Prof. Donald Knuth where he talks about open source ( and other things) http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1193856 Regards, Sourabh Daptardar P.S: Ubuntu camp should be happy should be happy to know that he uses Ubuntu ;) -- "Reality is, after all , too big for our frail understanding to fully comprehend.

Internet n/w in Etch GUI
by Rony 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hello Everyone, Recently I had downloaded the 3 DVD Debian Etch set, the updates DVD and after checking that md5 was the same, I burned them into DVDs. At a client's place when I installed Etch from them, everything went smoothly. However Firefox (Ice Weasel) does not open any sites. The net is the Triband ADSL modem and in the gnome-terminal as well as konsole, dig, ping as well as ftp download works. Since there was some distraction towards other machines, I did not get to try out the Ubuntu live CDs. The only peculiar thing about the setup is that the ADSL modem (old D-Link) is connected to this machine by ethernet and another windows machine uses the usb interface. A network card in that doze machine then passes on the shared usb connection to the rest of the networked machines. Before installing Debian, the target machine ran xp and net was being normally used though both ethernet and usb have the same 192.168.1.1 ip. The usb machine was shut down too to see if the same IP was the culprit. Even now with Etch, the net works only in terminals. Is this some bug with Etch 3 DVD ISOs? Has anyone encountered such problems with Etch? -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

by Amit Joshi 04 May '08

04 May '08

Hi, I am using Sify Broadband on Ubuntu. I have a package with a download limit and so I need to check the session details. I am using antidialer to login, but I don't see how I can view my session details. I tried to search on google and came up with the following link, but unfortunately it is not working here. http://broadbandforum.in/sify-broadband/823-need-info-session-details-page-… I have no idea what my SAM server is supposed to be, but after looking into my antidialerrc file I found out that 202.144.65.70 works but not in the way the above link describes. Please help. Regards, Amit. -- http://mckagan.googlepages.com

As 13-year-old Nalin Sathya, who will sit for these exams next year, puts it, "The system is very easy to use and I can now use it even without seeing the monitor. Python programming language is very easy. I am trying to learn it." Sathya's confidence emerges from a series of events that began eight years ago. -- പ്രവീണ്‍ അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില്‍ <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
