Works with Apache, PHP & MySQL through a browser interface so you are platform independent and it is GPL'ed. There are even plugin modules for Palms and Wap support. It is highly configurable (you can turn on off every module like forum, chat, email, project management, etc.) and comes with something like 20+ languages preconfigured (can be chosen on a per user basis). Really, check this one out. Jan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[expert] How to request packages?
Hi all, i would like to ask Mandrake to add a package to their distribution. Can anyone tell me how to do this? In particular I want them to add "kaptain" (http://kaptain.sourceforge.net/) as a package. That's a programm that provides graphical interfaces to command line programs using grammar files. It is widley used to controll the EMBOSS (www.emboss.org) molecular biology program suite. The author provides a package for MDK 7.2 which doesn't work on 8.2. I can't compile the sources either (qt problems). SuSE has this as an rpm in their distribution (7.3 and 8.0), if I can't get it to work on MDK I would have to install SuSE at university (which I don't want to). Any help would be appreciated - maybe someone could just give me a hint on how to compile the sources. Many thanks in advance, Jan Lentfer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Well, I also read FreeBSD-Security and according to Theo de Raadt's notes there, everyone should upgrade to 3.4. OpenSSH 3.3 is still vulnerable, 3.4 fixes the known *and a lot of other possible* holes. Theo said, they reviewed 5600 lines of code the last few days and fixed stuff that might have lead to an exploit in the future. Regards, Jan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I find Linux is pretty easy on hardware changes, as long as you don't use a stripped down kernel config of course. It just finds new hardware and goes ahead :-)... and NO you don't get double or triple entries in Hardware-Manager :-). Last time I just move my RAID-Controller down one PCI-Slot.
