One floppy. This is the smallest one I know of:

Not a Debian, but based on and built using Debian.
Actively maintained and developed.

 I understand what you mean. setterm outputs an escape code like:

\033[9;0]

 only when the TERM is con or linux.

 The parameter 9 is for set blanking interval.

Re: Consolidating user databases

 Also, I'd really like to replace Exchange, but as I understand that's
 somewhat of a 'Holy Grail' for us all. Does anything out there come
 close to a replacement? The main things this place uses it for is the
 shared calander and shared folders - from outlook, and they aren't
 likely to take well to moving away from what they are familiar with.

This is the nearest one could probably come. Took just a superficial look
and it sounds interesting. Sould probably help to move away from m$ IE to
mozilla alltohether. I'm trying to engage the sysadmins at work into this,
with very little success :( There's an RFP on this too.


From the FAQ:

Q: Will it work with Outlook?
A: Outlook does not store its calendar data in an open standard format, so
   it currently does not support Outlook directly. However, you can export
   your Outlook events as an .ics file, and import them into the calendar.

Q: Can I publish my events on a remote server?
A: You can publish events from the calendar to an FTP server or a webDAV
   enabled webserver. You can also use the calendar to subscribe to these
   events as well.

 Ximian looks pretty good, but from what I can understand there isn't a
 'Ximian Server'.. I couldn't quite follow what they meant by that.

 Can Ximian be put in to replace Exchange? Or does it mostly provide a
 nice way to tie linux machines into a MS based network?

The later, AFAIK.

 Hi all,  Could anyone assist with a simple script to mv 'filename.tar.gz'

mv filename.tar.gz filename-`date +%Y-%m-%d`.tar.gz

 Like, say, requests to /whatever go to host/whatever, where host is

You might want to take a look at pound:

I wonder why it's not packaged.
