Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?

by John Stoffel

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

Reminder: Meeting Wednesday 21-may-2008

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everybody, We have a WLUG meeting scheduled for Wednesday, 21-may-2008, at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. I can't update the website...it is currently unreachable. This will be a "Birds of a Feather" meeting where any and all topics related to Linux will be fair game. If anybody has one of those Asus Eee PCs running Linux, bring it along (so I can raffle it). ;-) We should also start planning for our summer BBQ. If anybody would like to host the BBQ, please let us know. Naturally, we'll go out for food after the meeting. See ya there!

Self-Introduction and LinuxGlobe Invitation

by Markus McLaughlin

Hello everyone, my name is Markus McLaughlin, I am both a member of the Fedora Project and a Linux blogger with a blog at http://linuxglobe.wordpress.com. About 5 years ago, I became a fan of Linux but did not actually use it until I bought my first Mac, which was a Mini, I now use an Intel iMac and I run Fedora 9, Ubuntu 8.04, and openSUSE in VMware Fusion. I want to reach out to other Linux hobbyists AND writers who want to promote Linux. What I want to do with my blog is to add other Writers who want to both promote Linux and help those who don't know what to do with it, with columns. Hopefully, Red Hat, Novell, and other companies will want to help fund a major Linux Magazine right here in North America. I want to help fill a niche that needs to be filled and HELP those who can't afford a Windows/Mac computer have free tools, internet access, and an inexpensive used laptop/desktop. Anyway, if anyone here has any ideas on what we can do together to promote Linux in this part of Massachusetts, PLEASE contact me. Fedora 9, IMHO, is much better than Ubuntu, so please check out the Fedora site at http://fedoraproject.orgsoon! Onward and forward!!! *Mark McLaughlin Hudson, MA*

Debian/*ubuntu security bug and a question...

by Brian A. Dewhirst

So, someone directed me at this bug report: http://metasploit.com/users/hdm/tools/debian-openssl/ I'm afraid my head spins a bit when I try to make sense of what corrective measures should be taken... has Ubuntu already rolled out a bug fix which will take care of the problem? If not, what needs to be done to fix my machine? Thanks, Brian
