Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel 29 Sep '18

29 Sep '18

Hi, Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky all the time, esp when it rains. So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter. I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet another set top box to have to deal with... So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service? Thanks, John

Samba config help
by Pete Wason 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

I wil PAY someone to come to my house and help me configure Samba on my CentOS server. I have three Windows machines set up with an admin user and a non-admin user. I don't really care right now if the non-admin user can access my server, I just want seamless access as admin so I can transfer stuff for my websites without using floppies or CDs. I have lots of money. No, wait, I *don't* have lots of money :) but maybe we can work something out. If I can make my server an ldap server and set up domain stuff, cool. If not, whatever works. I also have a Pegasos running MorpOS (which has its own copy of Samba), and a couple of Amiga 3000s which could either be setup with smbfs (which I had working at one point), or they could just FTP to the linux box (assuming I can get SMB access there from the Windoze side). Lot of fun to be had by all! Open to suggestions, Pete Wason???Hy Noom Publications???codevark(a)aim.com???508.865.5414

GIMP question
by Richard Klein 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

It's not necessarily a Linux-specific question, but I'm creating some maps for the company Halloween party to direct kids to cubicles that have candy. I want to mark those cubicles with jack-o-lanterns. Using the GIMP, how can I use some jack-o-lantern clip-art as a stamp? It might be useful to keep the jack-o-lanterns on a separate layer in the process. -- Thanks! Rich

Hey Gang, I might be at the next meeting! My wife and I decided to go off this month and spawn another daughter process. Olivia Keller was added to the global name space on Oct 7th. Later, Tim. -- I am weary of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

A REALLY nifty utility for making CD's and USB keys
by Karl Lind 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

It's called Universal Netboot Installer and "UNetbootin allows for the installation of various Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive, so it's no different from a standard install, only it doesn't need a CD. It can create a dual-boot install, or replace the existing OS entirely. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
