Automatically deleting old email
by Clint Moyer Nov. 17, 2008

Nov. 17, 2008

Is it possible in Evolution (or another email client) to configure messages to be deleted after a specified period without manual intervention? I have a few folders set for mailing lists and shopping offers, but the contents are irrelevant after a few days. I'd like to be able to set up each folder to delete messages older than seven days, for example. Thanks.

Samba config help
by Pete Wason Oct. 30, 2008

Oct. 30, 2008

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 Oct. 22, 2008

Oct. 22, 2008

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 Oct. 17, 2008

Oct. 17, 2008

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/
