The usual way is as I have done above, with an attribution line saying who wrote the portion I'm quoting, and a relevant excerpt set off by the '>' sign. With some spacing so it's easier to read.

I'd rephrase that as : "WHAT (reach Corp/Govt desktops) and HOW (via schools)". Many (commercial) software companies have special discounted pricing under the "academic/educational" category. This comes from their market-researched and calculated view to capture students/learners early in their lives. When these users reach corporate or government desktops in their careers they tend to specify/use the software tools they are already exposed/familiar (from their school/study days). I've continue to do my 2p worth to promote open standards in both those spaces, when I teach, and when I consult. So far having more success with the former than the latter (wrt desktops). --- vkb

Alsamixer does not show all sliders.
by Nadeem M. Khan 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Hi. Continuing with my sound woes with suse 10.1... My alsamixer does not show all controls. it shows only pcm and capture. There is no "main" control. I am not able to play sound at max volume. I think the hidden "main" slider is the reason for that. My sound card as detected by alsaconf is "snd-hda-intel". Any pointers? Regards, NMK.

I had used its i18n once, is straightforward. If this is for Indian languages, you may also check joomla, has more indic translations of the core interface. These use an internal mysql database, but you also have several caching options to tune for performance.

> the display and lan are the major problem. One of my friends have a Intel 915GV Pentium 4 HT machine, and although I have never seen him encounter any issues with his LAN card, but he does have trouble with his resolution at times. As far as I remember, Fedora Core 5 managed just fine, but Ubuntu 6.06 had issues. This was solved using a program called 915resolution. It is there in the Ubuntu repositories, so one can use Synaptic to install it. There is a similar program called 855resolution meant for Intel 855 based boards.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] challenge: customise ubuntu basic system to run from USB
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Is there any specific reason to use Ubuntu? If not then you can try http://www.pendrivelinux.com/, which has HOWTOs with Puppy Linux and Knoppix. For Fedora based systems, there is a tool called Kadischi which generates a customised live CD from a specified repository of RPMs. Kadischi is still in beta stage, but they are planning to make it capable of generating live USB devices and not only CDs.

apache with local vhost files
by Kenneth Gonsalves 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

hi, i have a server where numerous domains are served through apache virtual hosts. This is on debian sarge. So I make one file per domain in sites-available and symlink to sites-enabled. This is getting to be a bit of a bore. I would like the users to make their own vhost files and keep them in their home directories and to symlink from there to sites-enabled. My problem is this: if the user misconfigures, then how do i prevent him from crashing my apache? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS lawgon(a)au-kbc.org http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/

A small exposure to GNU/Linux
by Roshan 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

This post is sent to three lists (GNU/Linux , FSF-EDU, FSF-FRIENDS) because I wanted to share this experience and also have a small question. I was asked to present a seminar on a topic assigned to me. The seminar topic doesn't have much relevance to this post, but there was something different that I tried. In a way, I have exposed "Free Software, Ubuntu LIVE CD" distro to my classmates and one of my professor. I didn't speak about GNU and Free Software, but I did mention about considering (GNU/Linux) as an alternative to Windows. One mistake I committed, was I being a bit bais to GNU/Linux and pin-pointing _only_ Microsoft to be responsible for proprietary software. The question that I have ask is this. We had a DLP Projector that could not synchronize with the hardware and the display always went out of Range for Ubuntu 6.06. Why?..Doesn't ubuntu run on DLP's? __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know. Learn something new http://in.answers.yahoo.com/

challenge: customise ubuntu basic system to run from USB disk
by krishnakant Mane 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

hello all. I am putting this challenge with reference to my portable book reader project. I want a way to customise my basic ubuntu system and run it from a USB flash card that is put in mobiles or in cameras. or may be a pen drive? the system will be as follows. 1> a kernel having only those modules required to boot from a USB disk and having sound, display, and other necessary things. the kernel wont have network drivers or even ide drivers. no cd rom drivers. 2. I want to make such an OS on the computer and then port it to usb. 3. I know I wont be able to boot this small system from my hard disk after saying that I will exclude ide drivers. I want a way in which I can create a chroot jail in my existing ubuntu box and try things around a bit. then some how may be format the USB disk with ext2 and then put it on there. or may be make an iso image like what slax does and put it on the pen drive with the help of unionfs. any ideas? Krishnakant.

Re: does any one know debian cd vender in Mumbai?
by Roshan 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Hello Mr. Krishnakant, I have actually managed to find a link though, I cannot guarantee the CD / DVD quality because I personally do not have any experience of purchasing it from this Vendor. The Vendor is Kiraninfotech and they have their website where you can order Debain CDs. http://www.kiraninfotech.com/store/ What actually brings me to this vendor is that he's listed on Knoppix's Website for purchasing Knoppix CD's from India. Forturnately, he's located in Mumbai. http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-vendors/index-en.php Hope this Helps. Thirdly, the most underused resource of this mailing list is the wiki. You can access the following link and contact Mr. Mehul for debain CDs. http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/CDs_Available __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

a funny insident with me, gnu/linux debate.
by krishnakant Mane 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

hello every one. relax and just chil out with the following real joke that took place with me on 15th. at a school where I was advocating gnu/linux over m$ with one of the "naukars of MR bil dada". I was at a function for my falisitation from my own school in dadar. the guest of honour was some one from microsoft since they donated 100 computers with windows of captivity to the school. as usual I was explaining the authorities at my school why they should not teach windows to young students and do bad sanskars on them. actually one of the dignitories MR. Nitin Shah was also an associate of redhat linux. so I had one person to speek for me as well. the ms guy started to show me down by saying you un organised geeks don't even know what Information Technology means to people. and u can only develop academic toys for college students who want to know what is an OS like. your system can't offer any thing except a toy box. I told him "sir, there was a hindi film called divar just few years back, I just transfered one of its famous dylogs into IT" MR. Bil Gaits: "mere pas word hain, excel hain, access hain, power point hain, SQL server hain, tumhre pas kya hain bolo kya hain tumhare pas!" I say "mere pas freedom hain". this just came out sponteneously and out of the box. the entire staff was in throws of laughter. and it was then that they asked me what did I say that even some one from MS can't answer. the rest is not history but will be future. enjoy.

does any one know debian cd vender in Mumbai?
by krishnakant Mane 18 Sep '06

18 Sep '06

hello, I have a requirement of pressed cds of debian or ubuntu server. actually I tried searching the shipit web site for ubuntu server cd but they don't ship server cd. is there a way to contact ubuntu and ask for server cd with printed cover? actually I have a project on my hands where I am going to implement an erp system. the customer even after reading the gpl is not convinced that the cd I am giving will hold the same value. the old man believes that as a director he can't take a risk on this. just like the ubuntu desktop cd I gave him, he feel that if the cd for server also has a similar make and the same printed cover, it will be licensed. now I am not finding ubuntu server cds like this. so may be I will choose debian cd set. by the way I want to try out debian installation. may be jtd will help me out with instructions for tellingthe installer to install 2.6 kernel and using priority as medium so that I get to choose which components I can install. I think there are some kernel parameters to be given? regards. Krishnakant.
