I use qwk.net. Not as cheap as some others people have recommended but they have excelent service. I believe they handle all of those requirements in their $10/month plan but haven't checked to be sure. I've never checked what linux distro they run as it doesn't matter to me.

I have been a happy DreamHost customer for a number of years now. They have had a few hiccups over the past few weeks, but for less than 10 bucks a month and the excellent support and service they have given me over the years I can't really complain. They run Debian and provide pretty much every service you'd need including ssh. Their bandwidth and storage is insane even on the low plans. Check out their plans and if you decide to sign up you can punch in "BITBISTRO50OFF" for a $50 discount on any plan.

Who are people using for shared web/email hosting? I'm looking for IMAP/POP/webmail over SSL (I need all three over SSL), plus light web hosting for a vanity domain. (Don't need crypto for the website.) Virtual servers seem to be out of my price range, but the shared hosting services fit my budget (c. $10/month).

How do I change my default paths? Here's how to find out. First, figure out what shell you're using with this cmd from a console or shell window: grep `whoami` /etc/passwd The rightmost executable is the shell you're using. Mine says /bin/bash. So next use this command, substituting your shell: man bash And search for "path" by using the '/' key. What you'll find is that the shell reads system wide default config files located in /etc and then reads config files in your home directory, if present, which can override the system wide settings. In bash, you could override the PATH environment variable by adding a line like this to your ~/.bash_profile file: PATH="$PATH:/my/custom/directory" to add /my/custom/directory to the search path. Note that I put it *after* the system default path. Putting non-standard directories before standard directories is a security risk because a non-priviledged user could put a malicious program in the non-standard directory and it would be found before a legitimate program of the same name in a standard directory. Hope this makes sense, BR

Ndiswrapper alternative?

by sknaqvi＠WPI.EDU

Hi every1, Thanks a lot for replying so quickly. I know Intel has released proprietary source code drivers for my wireless card but compiling it is such a lot of hassle it needs ieee but my system says ieee is already installed. Ndiswrapper on the other hand is easier to setup. As for the certificates yes definitely I have downloaded both and linked them in the conf file. I am pretty sure it is not a driver problem since the error comes as 'authentication timed out.' The light for Wifi also blinks frequently when the driver is configured so maybe that also suggests that the drive is properly installed. Its really sad that WPILA has gone down anyone willing to join hands with me to revive it? Again, thanks in advance for helping me out in setting up the wireless. Yours sincerely, S. Kazim Naqvi
