I'm glad they've got a spreadsheet. Now...does anyone have a serial
cable I can borror until I convince my wife that spending $30.00 so I
can hack my iPAQ is a good idea?
OR...has anyone installed familiar/qte through an usb cable, and the
handhelds.org site is just wrong when it says it can't be done?

It looks like I'm finally going to have time to go out and

I'm looking for recommendations on local (Worcester to
Natick, Westboro to Leominster, etc.) Linux-centric PC
companies to buy an Athlon PC. If they only sell
Windows systems I'll take those recommendations too if
it's a build to order site.
Thanks...
Mike

I'll grab the name later, but there is a place on route 30 in Westborough that will
build a PC to spec and put whatever distro you want on it. They're primarily a
windows office, but when I asked about Linux they said, "Sure, we've been getting
more and more requests for Linux lately and we'll put whatever you want on it!"
This makes me happy.
Like I said, I'll get the name/number later, but take rt 30 from 9 into town and you

I have been working as a Unix Sys Admin for Accenture (formerly Andersen
Consulting) for the last few months, although I have been with the company
for 3 years. I agree with what Gary said and additionally would add getting
your foot in the door working at a helpdesk somewhere. I know from
experience that most tech companies will look within before hiring from the
outside to fill positions. Willingness to learn, adapt to change, and good
teamwork skills are also highly desired when companies …
[View More]look to hire.
Good luck.
Matthew

Well, I'm not a Network Admin, but I would suggest the cheapest way to
start is to build a home network with a hub and at least cheap 3 PCs doing
different functions to serve the network (DNS, Sendmail, etc.)
Get some networking books and tweak, tweak, tweak!
After that you can either build up your network with more hardware or take
mid-to-senior level classes. Either way it will start to cost you more
money as you progress. :-|

I am running SuSE 7.0 with the 2.2.18? kernel. I have not compiled my own
kernel before. Last night when attempting to upgrade to XFree86 4.1 I
somehow f**ked up my configuration and can now only run X as root and I
don't know what changed to cause that to happen. I had backed up my entire
partition so the original configuration files are around but I am not sure
which files I should restore to get back to my original configuration.
I am contemplating upgrading to SuSE 7.2 with the 2.4.x …
[View More]kernel and
reformatting my partition to be a Rieserfs file system. Is this
configuration likely to be any more stable than my current configuration?

Well, XFree86 4.1 is out, which is what I was referring to, but as far as
I know, that's a really well-supported video card (the chipset's been
around forever)... what kernel are you running? Is it a stock Suse
kernel? Do you know how to compile your own, if it might help?

Does anyone know of a secure modem(s) that does MD4, MD5 or SHA1
authentication? They would be running with UnixWare and Solaris
platforms. I would guess that they're probably O/S independent.

Hi all,
I have been having problems with my system locking to the point where I
needed to press the reset button to recycle the box. Well, this happened
again and this time things are not working properly after bringing the
system back up. I have been able to start networking services and I can
start KDE desktop but none of my X applications will run. Now I have several
questions:
1) What type of problems could have been created by an improper shutdown of
the box?
2) Will reinstalling KDE fix …
[View More]this problem?
3) How do I go about figuring out what is causing my machine to lock up? It
is happening frequently (every few days)
and when I am doing different things. I have not been able to determine a
pattern.
Thanks,
Mike

Greetings, I don't know whether there is a topic for the next meeting and it just hasn't made it onto the web page or not, but I figured I'd offer a suggestion to the group. Is anyone interested on seeing a presentation on the various DVD players that are available for Linux along with their setup. hardware support, and configuration, etc? I'm headed to the west coast next week for a 7-day Alaskan cruise, and I really need something to do for the 6-hour plane ride each way other than watching …
[View More]Top Gun. I'd be happy to do so, but I figured I'd ask the group instead of just mailing Andy as "installing and running a couple of apps in Linux" might be on the light side for a presentation. If people are interested and there's already something for this month, just let me know and I'll write something up. Just my two cents, let me know if there's any interest (this hasn't already been done, right?).
