RE: [Wlug] Open Source CMS?

by Martin, Eric

I've played with Mambo (openmambo.org) and openeffect. There is a website that has a bunch of CMSs up with admin passwords so you can play around (the CMS sites go back to default every 15 minutes). Can't remember what the site is, but when I find it I'll post it to the list. -----Original Message----- From: Charles R.

This topic comes up from time to time. Has anyone played with any CMS stuff? I think it would make a great talk at an upcoming WLUG meeting, even just to answer the basic questions, What is a CMS? Why do I need/want one? _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug

Lemme know what it says - I won't be getting to it this week. Okay... I don't have a spare machine at this exact moment to install anything on (but this will change VERY soon... ;) ), but I poked around. There are three DVDs in a tri-fold paper-board carrying case. DVD 1A says it has the following (screen printed on the disc): -- SUSE(r) LINUX Enterprise Server 8 -- Nterprise Linux Services 1.0 -- GroupWise 6.5.1 -- Red Carpet Enterprise Server 2.02 -- ConsoleOne -- Linux Resources DVD 1B says it's got: -- SUSE LINUX Professional 8.2 -- Ximian Desktop 2 DVD 1C says it has: -- SUSE LINUX Professional 9.1 The README file on disc 1A specifically states that Ximian Desktop 2 needs to have SUSE Professional 8.2 installed, NOT 9.1, so that's why 8.2 is there.

Firewire/USB2.0 external case

by bryon3245＠netzero.com

I am also in the market for a nice external hd case. But i have a few specs for mine. I need it to be able to cary very large drives 250gb>. It needs to be alandium, becuase that way it will last a lot longer and I will not be in fear of it cracking under my brutil use. If anyone has any like that, that they have used before I would appericate a review. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - NetZero HiSpeed!

RE: [Wlug] Firewire/USB2.0 case recommendations?

It's just Doug> large enough for a laptop drive, so very portable (we fit the Doug> whole kit including all the extra connectors into one of those Doug> 25-CD nylon cases). I on purpose got a case with a fan and a builtin power supply, along with both USB 2.0 and Firewire interfaces. We'll see how well it works out in practice later this week sometime. I could have gotten a smaller case, but I really don't like having to lug around the wall wart as well. And this way, it's all in one package, and I can find standard power cords *anywhere* I got pretty much. More details once I've played with the unit a bit.
