Kernighan and Rob Pike; published by Pearson Education (maybe Prentice Hall does it too). Costs less than Rs. 300. Read the first chapter: "Style". It teaches it.

Protection of personal info on the wiki
by Mohan Nayaka 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hi all, As all content on the wiki is under GFDL, anyone can improve it. However, I have a doubt regarding the user pages on the wiki. If it is possible for anyone to edit user home pages, these pages may be defaced. I am aware that self-regulation will probably keep away this problem just like the rest of the wiki. In this case, however, personal information may be distorted. Therefore, I would like to know what can/should be done to minimize this risk. Regards, Mohan S N -- Never look up when dragons fly overhead.

Debian Etch Installation Report
by Mrugesh Karnik 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi, I have just posted the text only version of my Debian Etch Installation Report to the wiki. It's available here: http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Debian_Etch_Installation_Report I have taken lots of screenshots and I'll post them tomorrow. The installer has a handy facility for taking screenshots if you're curious. Also, I found a MAJOR security bug with respect to the sudo integration. I enabled it and found that root login with a blank password was possible. I haven't tried updating the system yet. If the bug persists, I'll report it. Cheers. -- ---------------------------------------- Mrugesh Karnik GPG Key 0xBA6F1DA8 Public key on http://wwwkeys.pgp.net ----------------------------------------

I am working on physical distribution of Ubuntu releases in India, which will hopefully cut down the time to deliver and perhaps free up some money to fund further work in FOSS. Possibly the same route can then be used for managing physical delivery of other FOSS work. While I cannot be in Chennai, I wish you all success.

Re: problem in integrating ejabberd with mysql
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/2/docs/quickstart.html If you are not specific about ejabberd, but simply want to run a Jabber server, then follow the instructions in the above link to configure Jabberd2. It worked for me on Fedora Core 5 i386. If you are using an RPM to install Jabberd2 then you will find that most of the instructions can be skipped. Good luck, Debarshi -- husband v. use sparingly; conserve; save husbandry n. frugality; thrift; agriculture
