Re: network/bridging problems
Greg has made some excellent explanation and answers. I wanted to comment on a few other things. Ross Boylan wrote: > My wireless router is currently serving as a dhcp server; it has a reserved > IP for the system under discussion. Okay. That will work. I don't prefer it for a serious server configuration though. Mostly because it uses the new event driven route through the scripts and some traditional server software (nis/yp for example) hasn't fully caught up to this yet. And because it means that two systems, the dhcp server and the dhcp client, are now tangled together in order for everything to be functioning correctly. But in general it should work okay. > This is not the long-run plan.

Re: Debian installer and raid0
Francesco Pietra wrote: > Did you use a recent version of the installer?

I recall that it has been added with Wheezy. But let me put forward that it doesn't really matter. If you have RAID then you know you want grub on both disks. After installing simply run the grub install script against both disks manually and then you will be assured that it has been installed on both disks. I agree with the other responder. It is unlikely IMNHO that you want RAID0 (striping) for the system disk. You most likely want RAID1 (mirroring) instead. The answer above is the same regardless. If you are thinking striping for performance instead I recommend using an SSD for the system disk. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It is portable across the current desktop session manager environments (GNOME, KDE, LXDE, XFCE) that are popular today. Those (like me) that are not using those heavy desktops already know what we need to do to start those up using our preferred environments. I am using them for other people when they want to automatically start a web browser at graphical login time for example. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Agreed. This article states that the average web user has 25 accounts but uses an average of 6.5 passwords across them. I think that is a low number of accounts for the average user these days. If anyone is reusing account names and passwords hopefully this article will scare them out of that bad practice.

hi Curt,
what do you mean by pertinent "info"?
Until July 17(which is the last time I ran latex), the file eurosans.sty
was present, and on September 30, it was missing.
Of course I tried to find it on my discs ("locate eurosans" being the
best tool for that) otherwise I wouldn't have to download it from CTAN.
curty@einstein:~$ locate eurosans >
/usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/fonts/eurofont/README.eurosans.gz
my tree for the texlive-fonts-recommended package is slightly different:
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/
but it contains no eurosans directory.
I am on Wheezy since more than 1 year, and the texlive-latex-recommended
version is 2012.20120611-5
curty@einstein:~$ apt-cache search eurosans
texlive-fonts-recommended - TeX Live: Recommended fonts
it seems that you don't have the same version as me:
are you on wheezy?

This is because that weekly piano lesson is more important than my silly game. I would have to prioritize the Skype traffic.

Prior to studying this thoroughly, I might stick to personal banking. Not if your browser is working properly. Cookies can only be sent to the domain which originated them (and, depending on the cookie options, subdomains of the main domain). subdomains.

Those outsourced sites will have different domains, and the cookies cannot be sent to them. And no bank would be stupid enough to create a subdomain and hand it over to some unknown entity. They wouldn't be in business for long if they did. I play it safe and limit logging in to my bank to a user that does nothing but logging into that bank. Hey, it's my computer, I can add users all I like. Which doesn't make any difference because that's not where the leaks occur. And I try to avoid logging in to the bank, but the bank sometimes requires me to log in to do certain things, now. I would hope they require logging in to do *anything* with your accounts. But too many people use the same userid/password for multiple sites, and a security problem on one site can expose those userids/passwords. This makes it easy for a hacker to access one's banking account. I use online banking all the time. But I have a unique userid/password combination on each of my accounts. These are long, non-obvious, known only to me and not stored on any computer. That's important, too. Which means that the problem here is getting used to manage more than a few userids and passwords, and most people are intimidated by what it takes to get that experience. It's not all that hard if you come up with a system. For instance, take a phrase you know very well, i.e "To be, or not to be: that is the question". Take the first character of each word (numeric homonyms become numbers), to get 2bon2btitq. If the first word starts with a-m, capitalize the odd-numbered letters; otherwise capitalize the even numbered letters. So you get 2BoN2BtItQ. (You might not want to use a phrase quite that well known, but it is only an example). Different phrases for different sites.
