Who's using Debian?
Name of organization: Departamento de Fisica, Universidad de Chile, Chile Organization type: Educational Home page link: http://fisica.ciencias.uchile.cl Text: Some members of our Department started using Debian in 1997 and after a few years of experience, Debian became the official operative system of the Department. Today, the majority of our computers run on Debian, performing tasks as serving web pages, electronic mail, webmail, and other more sophisticated related to research. Even the Department's secretary works on a Debian machine, doing all the administrative work secrataries do. We have a Computer Lab with a dozen computers where students, starting freshman year, receive their e-mail, browse the web, write reports and develop software to solve their physics home work. We also installed a parallel cluster of 20 computers using Debian and Mosix. The cluster is continuously run by our scientists to solve complex physics problems. Due to all this experience, and the need to update the systems continuously, the Department assigned resources to maintain a Debian mirror, which later became the official Debian mirror of Chile.

I'm afraid not. Write a script to do the unsubscription and resubscription for you: I have one which sends out the mails, but you could probably arrange to have something handle the confirmation messages for you as well. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Could you please regenerate the diff to contain only the changes still to be commited? I don't see any major pain for translators. It needs an update, but that's perfectly ok to me. Anyway, I may miss something here and would appreciate another diff to double check...

Bug#212843: www.debian.org: please remove patent protest
Package: www.debian.org Version: unavailable; reported 2003-09-26 Severity: wishlist The decision on logic patents in Europe has been made, and while there is still work to do, I think we won enough to be able to end the protest. Or do you believe differently? I am simply filing a bug to alert you in case you may have forgotten to remove the protest notice. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux fishbowl 2.4.20-grsec+freeswan+preempt-fishbowl #1 Mon Apr 7 18:38:24 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO-8859-15 -- Please do not CC me when replying to lists; I read them! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' :proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?

Change of e-mail address
Hi fellow Linux users. For the last couple of days I (or rather may mailbox) have been flooded with SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, averaging to over 1000 emails per day. Lately with the arrival of anoter stupid Windoze virus / worm those messages show an annoying tendency to get bigger and bigger, the average now being about 150 kB. Although I enjoy the benefits of a DSL flatrate it is still rather irksome. So I would like to abandon my current e-mail address and make it into a bit bucket for all that junk to rot. Geting a new (or several new) e-mail addreses from my ISP is no problem at all. What is the easiest way to change my e-mail address on all the lists I am subscribed to (I read quite a lot of them). I am convinced there must be a much easier way than to unsubscribe under the old address and subscribe again under the new address. Any assistance will be gratefulle appreciated. TIA Axel Schlicht

No there aren't. Of course in my opinion. Most of the FFII amendments is now included in directive. Maybe I cite words of member of FFII: "The directive text as amended by the European Parliament clearly excludes software patents.
