Upgrading RAM and size of Swap
by Kinjal Sonpal 20 Aug '01

20 Aug '01

Hi folks, I'm planning to upgrade my m/c's RAM. At present it's 64MB and I plan to add another 128 MB. At present the Swap partition is of 180 MB (It's too big for current RAM, but I had this upgradation in mind) Basically I'm planning to run some heavy apps in Windows, hence the upgradation. After the upgrade, the size of the RAM and that of Swap will be almost equilvalent. Will that do? or repartitioning is unavoidable? And one more thing. Will there be any need for recomfiguring any part of the system after the upgrade? TIA, Warm Regards, $ sonpal -kj

You will need 2 NIC's one will connect to the cable modem and the other to your machine (using cross cable) or to a hub. Also the machine receiving the cable connection will have to provide proxy service to your machine. Your neighbour's machine can either be a linux box or a win 95/98 machine. For linux you can use squid and for windows you can use winproxy. Of course for you to browse, his machine will have to be on. We are using hathway cable connecition in our office connected to a linux box which provides browsing and other services to 40 other machines.

Hackers and Crackers
by Philip S Tellis 20 Aug '01

20 Aug '01

Just read a very interesting article from a guy who started out with BBS's when he was 13. He's a security analyst now. He defines hacker as talented programmers who don't even find the need to break into other people's systems without permission, and cracker as those who like to. Crackers may or may not have the skill set of hackers. Finally, for script kiddies, he uses the term `lacker'.

As well as use NAT a.k.a Masqerading (I hope I'm right!) Afterthought: How about using 802.11b for sharing the connection! heh heh heh :-D Fart

It tells Wvdial not to interpret the login sequence i.e., the login/password prompts. Wvdial simply starts up PPPD when it connects to the remote modem. A better explanation is given in the man page of wvdial.conf. DO `man wvdial.conf' Fart
