hop over to http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ and see
what's happening. we could probably use a re-arrangement of
items on the main web page -- i think it's getting a bit
cluttered.

if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #54 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 
:
Tired of SLOW BROWSING THROUGH THE ONLINE APACHE MANUAL? Get
your own local copy and never worry about bandwidth again:
apt-get install apache-doc
Then browse /usr/share/doc/apache/manual.html, quick like a
bunny.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #26 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 
:
Do you want a CONSOLE with more than 80 COLUMNS OR 24 ROWS?
Experiment with various settings from /etc/TextConfig for use
with "SVGATextMode":
SVGATextMode 80x30x9
Try "apt-get install svgatextmode" to get it. (It won't work with
xterm or rxvt, of course -- only text-mode console display.)

Hello,

I must have missed the previous threads :x. But I was wondering if
someone could email me back the frist thread (you don't need to
send to the mailing list ;)). I might be able to help with writing
some newbie howto's :).

Hi Will,

I'm interested. I've been reading the docbook documentation and
putting together an account of my experiences getting exim, fetchmail,
and mutt to play on my system. I signed up for a sourcefoge account, I
just haven't joined up yet. I'll get back to you (maybe off list) when
I get it together. Hopefully that won't bee too far off, but I'm
prepping for an interview in the next week, so I may not devote much
time to it until after that.

Cheers.

Curious about your NETWORK TRAFFIC? There's a whole bunch of
ways to monitor it: iptraf, showtraf, netwatch, tcpview, statnet,
or even
tcpdump | grep 'what you want to see'
lsof -i | grep 'LISTEN'
For network statistics try "mrtg". See the ethernet section

perfect!

if there are one or two specific areas that gave you a hard time,
if you could kinda put together a doc (spend about three hours on 
each, if possible) of WHAT YOU WISH YOU'D FOUND before trying to 
acomplish your tasks.

then, feel free to post it at egroups.com/files/newbieDoc! and
let the rest of us know by hollering at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

awesome!
