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

raid1
by Simeon MacMillen
I'd like to set up Raid-1 on my computer. I have 2 500Gig hds, one of
which is empty, and one of which has data (that I want to keep). I
found this guide, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Raid (I use Ubuntu), and
liked the "super simple md" recipe, but I'm not sure how to do this so
that I don't loose data. (I searched around, but the only thing I
found required the alternate install CD, which I have issues with.)
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you suggesting that I don't use Raid at all or that I just back up
my stuff before I start?

I have more data on the 500 Gb drive than I have space on my spare 80
Gb drive...so it sounds like backing up is not an option (unless you
have another idea). I might add that the drives have about 7
partitions each. Would it be possible to set up raid one partition at
a time, backing up each partition b/f setup?

Hi Everybody,
At this WLUG meeting, our guest speaker will be Liz Johnson, friend of
long time WLUG member Greg Avedissian. The topic for this meeting will
be an introduction to GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program.
Here are some words about the talk from Liz:
=====
A paint and image editing program, GIMP is Linux's software alternative
to Adobe Photoshop. Learn basic methods of working on images such as
jpeg, bitmap, tiff. GIMP can import PDF documents and the Raw image
formats used by many digital cameras. Restore old photos,
color-corrrect, resize, crop, correct exposure, redeye, flash. Use
special effects such as emboss, sharpen, smooth. color enhance,
transparency, sparkle, or softglow. Create your own desktop images,
icons, and logos.
GIMP can help you lose 15 pounds overnight, or make you look like
everyone's favorite movie star. It's open source, 100% natural,
non-toxic, and free.
=====
The website will be updated shortly.
See ya there!
Andy

/etc/resolv.conf is the ips of your name servers. You want to add info
to /etc/hosts
basically add something like
192.168.0.100 my-ssh-server <other name for it if you want>

AIX 5.3 Question
by vze284qe＠verizon.net
Hello,
At work, I have an RS6000 running AIX 5.3. The on-board NIC controller
failed. I installed a dual-port Intel Pro 10/100/1000 NIC card.
When I start the server, the Intel card isn't recognized. SMIT doesn't
see it either. What do I have to do in SMIT so that I can use the card?
Thanks,

if you add the raw IP and host name to /etc/resolv.conf (or on windows c:\windows\system32\etc\hosts) you can then access via names

Subject: [Wlug] Accessing Host Names
I am trying to access the use SSH using host names instead of using the
raw IP address. I am currently using DCHP to connect to an inexpensive
Linksys router and I can see the host names and their IP address when I
view the connections list.
If the machine name (ie CLYDE) is not the host name, please correct me.
Is there some way to extract this information? If so, how?
Do I need to run bind to be able to use the host names in place of IP
addresses?
Any help would be appreciated.
