True. I was using thunderbird with an IMAP server for a while. The problem
will be if the laptop is stolen in which case all the emails could get
into wrong hands.

Install a web proxy like Squid and you can control the web
sites your users can access.

Squid plugins -- Dansguardian or Squid Guard are also
good options to try out.

Am just curious about why ELCOT supplies laptops with 3 different database
services
running IMHO, MySQL exor Postgres would suffice for schools.
I am kinda unsure as to what the tool is in SuSe. In fedora, the tool is
ntsysv. You can
use it to tune the startup process. You can use
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491
as a guide.

Use top to find what takes up the most cpu time. If you find it unnecessary,
nip it!

Also, as an extreme (is it?) step, you can install a lighter distro on it. I
hope that
doesnt  nullify the warranty. It should not For this, try the Fedora
Xfce spin. I found it
very usable. Or probably even Archlinux (takes some time setting up.
Installing core
takes 10 minutes. Then you have to install xorg and ).
It
starts with just core apps an you may then use it as a meta-distro. It is
very fast too.

If you are using a laptop, you should definitely look at using disk
encryption. Most recent mainstream distributions support this.

Re: [Ilugc] Can i Try in Fedora 9

[Arun SAG]

>  Block access of particcular site in squid

create a file called "block" in /etc/squid/ directory, type the website name
you want to block in that file "block",save the file
Then open squid.conf file and  append the following two lines (without
quotes)

"acl blocked url_regex -i "/etc/squid/block"
"http_access deny block"

save squid.conf file and reload the squid service by "service squid reload"

Try to access the blocked site ;-)


>  Dansguardian or squid Guard  is it support for Fedora 9

Yeah squidguard is in official fedora 9 repository

"squidGuard.i386 : Filter, redirector and access controller plugin for
squid"

Hi Padhu,

Performance varies according to hardware configuration.  Please note the 
following tips:


* Be sure the swap partition size is double of RAM.
* Use the 'top' command to view which processes consume more CPU power.
* If you are not using samba, disable 'nmb' and 'smb' services.
* Disable print services
* Disable smart card and bluetooth services whenever not in use.

Best Regards,

R Rajendhran

M$ might have realised that SME 's are going fastly towards FOSS to cut down
costs expecially in this recession environment . This might  be one step to
get their businesses back, hope they wont succeed ;)

People from Microsoft approach government and do whatever (one could
tag it as lobby, persuade, sell, bribe, market etc.,) for their
products.

Was there an attempt from people from the Community/ FOSSY corporates
to meet the government officials. politicians, identifying the right
person to get FOSS done at the government level?

Was there an attempt of this kind? If not it is likely that M$ will
push and rush through.
