After that you can install anything you like. At last count, they had between 700 and 800 packages you could install. Iy's dependency based, so if you say you want to install kde, it will install X and a bunch of other stuff so you can run kde. You still need to know a bit about what you're doing, but it's a very promising distro. --Skip

WLUG Meeting Feb 11th 2021! Topic: Good question!

by Chuck Anderson

Correct, Keith's server is not configured to current best security practices. His server has what is called "upward referrals" turned on. https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/articles/upward-referrals-considered-harmful I believe what you want at a minimum is: additional-from-cache no; Also, it sounds like you are using your DNS server for two functions: caching for internal clients, and authoritative for your domain name(s). If so you probably should isolate both functions: "If your nameserver is both authoritative and caching, you really should separate the two functions. Caching nameservers are susceptible to poisoning and other types of attacks. You don't necessarily need separate hardware for each. You might need to use separate IP addresses, or possibly configure the authoritative nameserver to use an external address while the caching nameserver uses an internal address."

Re: [Wlug] OpenWrt

by Matt Higgins

I run OpenWrt at work and at home, it is a very nice piece of work, never had a lockup. If you have some more dough I recommend net4801 http://www.soekris.com/net4801.htm The one I have is currently running OpenBSD but is of course Linux friendly and you can do a lot more with it. -Matt On 12/23/05, Mike <mwp(a)sdf.lonestar.org> wrote: > At the last meeting we briefly discussed building a Linux Router from a > single board computer.

GIMP tutorials

by E Johnson

A couple of WLUG members had been interested in GIMP a few months back. A presentation I gave to the group last Fall may have been effective that it could have been, since we couldn't get the big monitors working in the meeting room. But now while looking for one piece of info, I came across this in article Linux Haxor: "50 Tutorials To Get You Started With Gimp." http://www.linuxhaxor.net/2009/02/09/50-tutorials-to-get-you-started-with-g… Some of these tutorials seem to be concerned with specific special effects, but others, such as "Using and Manipulating Layers with Gimp" and "Retouching hair and eye (video)" might be of interest to non-artist persons, and to those who want to work with photos they have uploaded from digital camera. Enjoy, Liz J

reboot problem

by Gregory Avedissian

At the meeting before last, I asked about a problem I'm having with the computer occasionally going to a black screen with no disk activity on reboot, right after the grub menu goes away. Overnight memtest showed no errors, I put a different vid card in, and still had the black screen problem. One of the things someone mentioned was to test the power supply. Recently, I had a few hard lockups and a couple of spontaneous reboots. So, how do I test my power supply, other than replacing it and seeing if the problem goes away? Or is that evidence enough to change it ASAP? According to lm-sensors, voltages are fine, and I've even sat and watched gkrellm for long periods of time - they look stable. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Greg

Re: [Wlug] Upcoming meetings - topic proposals

by Scott Venier

A VPN is a good idea. PPTP, however, isn't. I highly recomend using some other VPN setup, if at all possible. PPTP on linux doesn't excatly give you a rock solid network conneciton. But, if you have no other options, there are both a client and a server for linux. The server is called PoPToP. Search freshmeat for it. The client lives at http://merced.needsabeating.com/pptp.html.

RE: [Wlug] linux craker talk

by Keller, Tim

Mark, Have you thought about talking to Andy (our founder) about possibly giving us the same talk at our meeting this Thursday? I'd be very interested in hearing your talk, but Fridays are a busy day for me. Plus you'd have a good captive audience.
