Hi, Due to immense community pressure I suppose. They have replaced the string "unlimited" with 10GB in all their plans. http://www.rcom.co.in/Communications/rcom/RNetconnect/netconnect_broadband_… -- Regards Pankaj<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/g/george_bernard_shaw.html>Jangid http://jangid.freeshell.org

Need help in selecting a Server - Neelesh
by Neelesh Gurjar 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hello, We need to get server with CentOS 5.1 for Panvel Ashram. My requirements are: 1. CPU and Mboard should capable of atleast 16G RAM. 2. CentOS5.2 (32 bit) with PAE kernel should work with it. Please suggest which server will be better for me? After searching on net, I found AMD Opteron Second generation CPUs are better choice. But I am not sure wether it supports 32bit OS. Please help. -- Regards NeeleshG LINUX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity

But I am not sure wether it supports 32bit OS. Hi Neelesh, I have tested Centos 5 32 bit on AMD Opteron recently, and found it to be working well. However, I had some problems getting Xen to work on it for virtualising a Windows server on the same box. So long as you are installing an OS directly on the bare metal, you should have no problems with it. You will need to consider an Inventec or Iwill server motherboard, as those are the only brands I found in the assembled server market for AMD. For the problem I faced, I had to ultimately opt for Intel Quad core Xeon processor and motherboard. Regards, Ninad

[Article] Wordpress - A Simple Light Weight CMS
by Pravin Dhayfule 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi Folks, Many of you must be aware of CMS applications like Joomla and Drupal. They are very strong and feature rich applications. More over they are open source. However many find it difficult to understand and customize them. Also sometimes you just require less out of the rich features they provide. Complexity of their usage again drive away non IT people who use computers only for their office activities. So the question arises as to is there any light weight, simple, yet powerful CMS application? The answer is Wordpress.... But then here's a small Correction. Wordpress is actually a Blogging application, that needs to be customized as a CMS. Check www.wordpress.org for details related to wordpress and http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Lastnode/Wordpress_CMS on how to customize wordpress as CMS Sites designed using wordpress: http://www.dhayfule.com http://www.ksi-karate-india.co.cc http://www.cyberethics.co.cc http://www.tdka.co.cc http://www.sunvipackaging.com http://wordpress.org/showcase/ Bye Regards -- To claim oneself to be a Well Wisher isnt a big deal!

Hai , I have been using ubuntu 8.04 , knoppix , BOSS Linux and Puppy Linux for quite some time. I have tried Puppy Linux on a P1 / 266 MHz / 64 MB memory machine with good results. In my opinion , Puppy Linux is the fastest OS distribution capable of working with minimum resources. Bye and Good Luck.

Internet Broadband connection problem
by george＠annamsoft.com 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

Dear All, I have a ADSL broadband connection of BSNL. The ADSL modem is connected to our Internet Server (Fedora box) to one of the NIC card(eth1), the other NIC card (eth0) is connected to our LAN switch. This Fedora box acts as the gateway machine to the Internet for our LAN. The Problem: ------------ The LAN users were not getting the Internet. I saw the PPP link was up and running on the Server and also the Modem link was ok., but I couldn't ping to their (ISP's) end. (Destination port unreachable message was coming). I called the ISP and after a while, the LAN users were able to get the Internet but during the same time, I was not able to ping to their gateway and also to their DNS IP from my Internet Server. Then when i restarted my iptables script file, i was able to ping ISP's gateway and their DNS IP too. I just want to know, when my LAN users were getting the Internet, Why I couldn't get the reply from either their (ISP's) gateway / their DNS IP. Hope someone might be able to explain me what the problem could be. Thanks in Advance, Regards, George

I have tried out KnowledgeTree and was quite impressed. The install was straightforward enough, but some significant time and effort would need to be spent training the end users about permissions, groups, roles etc. I presume you have already looked at the demo at: http://demo.knowledgetree.com/login.php One issue I did not look at at all was security since it was to be deployed on an internal LAN server. If your deployment is to be accessible online, I would suggest you pay special attention to this. Also keep in mind that it is quite memory intensive on the server. -- Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org

MTNL billing discrepancy
by Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

I am using MTNL's Triband combo offer which gives 600 mb download a month. This has been upped from 400 mb just last month. All this while, I was easily remaining within the 400 mb limit. Suddenly this month's bill shows a usage of 870 mb for march. On complaining to mtnl they said that that was the usage according to them. I usually run a check with knetworkmonitor and gkrellm and there would always be a small discrepancy between the usage shown on my machine and that shown by mtnl, where mtnl would always show slightly lower usage than on my machine. For last month gkrellm shows a usage of 560 mb as opposed to mtnl showing 870 mb. What can explan this large difference ? Btw, according to the chap I spoke to at mtnl, _it is definitely hackers_ sic !! Now that I'm keeping a watch, imagine my surprise when both my programs show download activity without a single browser window open and fetchmail having been killed !! How do I find out what is being downloaded ? or what program is the guilty one ? regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K R Pavri. Homoeopath, Linuxer.

I agree that these politicians have promised us and nt delivered.. if v start to tell v ll nt care fr them than i think we are like them..

Promoting Free Software in education in India
by jitendra 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Many education institutes are seeking to use computers and internet. However, most reputed institutions are also constrained by limitations of low budgets and lack of IT savvy human resource. Usually suited-booted vendors do approach through "trustees', resulting in major headaches for the managers i.e Principals. There are several global efforts on "opensource". How 'free', remains to be seen. I am seriously discussing with some institutions some solutions and seek thru this email 1. list those who can provide the necessary customisation,localization,support etc. 2. suggestions for best solutions I feel this platform should not be talking about the business models and financial aspects. (That may be welcome offline). But I do feel that this platform should be concerned about promoting global standard software suites . Hence, assuming so, may I request opinions , availability of experience, case studies of deployments , voluntary or corporate support etc on 1. School Management 1. schooltool (schooltool.org) 2. rSmart, kuali (www.rsmart.com) 3. OKI (okiproject.org) 4. opensis (os4ed.org) 5. Any drupal based systems 2.
