Aloha Al!

I have been switching many of my boxen to Ubuntu, with the servers running the long term edition of 8. In addition to using apt-get, you can just browse through all of the available / installed repository apps using aptitude from the console. Yes, I still do a lot of work using SSH, and aptitude is great for looking through the available choices for adding an FTP server, or picking from the versions of a certain type of service that are available with a few keystrokes.

Good luck,

Aloha,

I have to test networks with this HP Mini running Ububtu 8*. So I need traceroute. The normal Linux or FreeBSD command is the same. I searched and found many complaints about this with Ubuntu. That it is missing. Doesnt work from (root) sudo or usr.

Acn anyone help me to install this utility and the rest that are needed for Network trouble shooting. Can I use aptget like Debian to install missing utilities. Is there away to load a full bash or tcsh shell on this box?

So far the only thing I havent got running is the way to use a remote wireless connection like at Starbucks and my network printer I think needs a prrintcap file like I learned to do way back the day.

Mahalo..

Aloha Jeff,

A lot of guys from the past popping up on LUAU list these past few days. I think I started Linux back when LUAU was at the University Lab behind Manoa playhouse.
