Ubuntu CD's

by Mike Leo

I made the mistake of offering a linux basics class at work. I was going to use the Ubuntu LiveCD to get the class some hands on. This way, they could take the CD and install it if they wanted too. I figured about 5-10 responders would say they wanted to go to the class. So far about 20 people are coming. Anyone have any extra 5.1 Ubuntu CD's they can part with? I need at least 10 more now and don't have time to wait for the mail. I know I could make copies, but talking about the free-ness of it, it would be better to hand them a nice legit copy. If so, please bring them to the LUG meeting tomorow if you can. Thanks... Mike

Re: [Wlug] Suse Linux Professional 10?

by howard＠howardwhite.net

<<The last Suse Linux software I purchasedfor laptop use was Suse Linux Professional 9.2. Looking now to upgradeto 10. Anyone know the latest Suse release for desktop use? AndI don't think they call it "Suse Linux Professional" anymore. And did Suse ever solve that Yast slowness problem (at least I thinkit was something like that).>> Go here and look at how to install Open SuSe for free. I downloaded it, put it on a DVD, and installed without a hitch. Then look on the OpenSuSe page for the Smart Package Manager (just add /Smart to the url), which is a nice utility for keeping all your apps up-to-date.

Their ogg player for one, and a couple of other things that Shawn Gordon says SHOULD run on an iPAQ. I want tKc to stay in business, so I don't mind paying some money, for stuff like that.

Actually, I was thinking of just setting up shop in a local coffee house with laptop, iPAQ, and mug. How long does the install take?

LTSP training video online

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, This link might prove interesting for folks with very fast Internet connections: http://www.lpbn.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=50&mo… If that doesn't work, try this: http://www.lpbn.org Click "The Mandrake Hour" (left side) Click the second video "The Linux Terminal Server Installation" It works for me with the Linux verison of RealPlay. I remember a brain storming session many of us had in the WPI Library parking lot after a WLUG meeting where we thought about making Linux training videos. We'll, somebody is doing it! On the Linux Public Broadcasting Network, there are many other videos.

by Martin, Eric

Any body else have a problem getting to the article? Eric *********************** There's a post on Slashdot talking about LTSP... (Yeah, I posted it... <g>) The link is http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/05/22/223425&&mode=thread&tid=126&tid= 137&tid=163&tid=187 There's one comment that really drives the point home: #9227112 ...

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."

VNC performance

by Brad Noyes

Hi All, I remember some time ago talking with Andy, and others about VNC performance at a wlug meeting. I remember that setting the depth 8 will help performance, as well as disabling the wallpaper. I am running the server on windows, and the client on a linux machine. VNC's site has info for disabling wallpaper, but it seems to involve editing a registry file. When i try to do so, i get an access denied message, because that file is read only. Can someone help me out here? I really know very little about windows. On the client side, the option '-depth 8' doesn't seem to do very much i get '16 bits per pixel'. If anyone knows of any other methods for speeding up VNC, please post. Thanks, --Brad

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.

Re: [Wlug] OpenWrt

I run OpenWrt at work and at home, it is a very nice piece of work, never had a lockup.
