Debian CDs/ISOs
by Vikas Madhavan Alathur 06 Jul '02

06 Jul '02

Hi! Does anyone have a set of Debian 2.2r6 potato CDs/ISO images that I can have a copy? I shall be equally satisfied if I get the 3.0 Woody. I need it rather urgently to setup a cluster in my school. If someone who has access to a permanent internet connection and is able to download it for me, that will be greatly apppreciated. I can also bring my laptop over and copy it if that is OK with you. I can also pay a reasonable sum to someone who can make it available to me. Please reply to my email account. Thank you. Vikas.

well... thanx for all the options..but i would bide some time before experimenting with any thing.meanwhile i will buy a 2nd hand desktop, thngs that ignorant people give for a throw away price and run linux on it. btw.. i tried to use partition magic , the only partitioning software which supports win xp but i dont think i used it properly.so i am yet stuck with one partition. i was not able to change the boot sequence to run my linux bootable on the laptop by going to SetUp by pressing DEL in XP.how come? regards -NDK >At 05:23 PM 7/3/02 +0000, you wrote: >>On Wed, 03 Jul 2002 Nikhil D.

Contributing Simputer apps...

>From ksvivek(a)picopeta.com Fri Jul 5 22:06:06 2002 Hi, I already have a simputer project registered at Source forge; If there is a basic idea about what one wants to do; I can create a module under that name and give CVS access for the same. Now, there should be one person who will take personal responsibility for the module; I can help in initial coordination; till the person can completely handle the module by himself. Also all developer discussions should be made on the simputer-devel mailing list; to ensure that non-technical subscribers of this mailing list are not affected. First let one person decide what application he/she is interested in creating; and then send me a mail, with his source forge ID; I will add him/her as a developer and development can start.

Try using nmap to scan the ports and see if any unncessary services are not running in the background. Also check the CPU usage and see if someone is using your machine to launch an attack or do some simple number crunching. regards vinayak hegde __________________________________________________________________________ http://dating.zeenext.com Log on to nextDATE.

Anyhow if you've only been logging in with SSH your root password was never sent unencrypted. Hence its pretty unlikely that anyone could have gotten your password in just two tries! A cracker clever enough to launch a man-in-the-middle attack or something would also know enough to erase the logs and cover his/her tracks! I think it may be a false alarm. Just check if the admin (or you!) logged in from a cable connection somewhere!
