[ilugd] upuntu 5.04 Released

2005-04-08 Thread Linuxrock
  
Ubuntu Linux 5.04, code name "Hoary Hedgehog", is now available. It offers the 
following new features: Simple and fast installation, live CD's for Intel x86, 
AMD64 and PPC, GNOME 2.10.1, Firefox 1.0.2, first class productivity software, 
and X.org 6.8.2. Read the announcement and the complete release notes.

Hoary Hedgehog (5.04) Features

 * Simple and fast Installation

   Ubuntu comes on one single CD, with thousands of extra packages
   available online. The install is optimised for speed and
   simplicity. Ubuntu has excellent support for laptops (both x86
   based and Powerbook / iBook PPC based), and can also be setup in a
   minimalist server configuration. It's a text based installer for
   maximum compatibility and speed, we think it's the fastest Linux
   install around.

 * Live CD's for Intel x86, AMD64 and PPC

   Ubuntu is the first distribution to offer Live CDs for all three
   architectures simultaneously. The new Live CD is easy to modify and
   update for custom Live CDs with your personal selection of
   packages.
   
 * GNOME 2.10.1

   Ubuntu always includes the very latest stable GNOME and KDE. In
   Hoary we have GNOME 2.10.1, which features better performance and
   significant theme polish. You might also be interested in Kubuntu
   (**), the new community driven KDE-based Ubuntu, that is being
   released today.

 * Firefox 1.0.2

   Ubuntu provides the Wall Street Journal's favourite open source
   browser, tightly integrated into the GNOME desktop environment.

 * First class productivity software

   Evolution 2.2.1.1 and OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 are just two.

 * X.org 6.8.2

   X autodetection and laptop screen detection have had considerable
   updates based on community participation. The binary drivers from
   ATI and Nvidia are available and can be installed easily, though
   the system will use open source drivers by default.

Get it From Here.

[ilugd] Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 Final Release is out

2005-04-08 Thread Ankit Malik
Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 Final Release is out... It is plain FANTASTIC.

Also Canonical has come with Kubuntu for KDE lovers.

Go order yours for free @ http://shipit.ubuntulinux.org ! They will
surely send within a month...although if you order loads, a trip to
the Customs Office maybe required ;-) !

For existing users of

a) Ubuntu Warty
do the following

$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Replace 'warty' with 'hoary' [without the quotes]

and then

$sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

b) Ubuntu Hoary Beta/Preview Release/Release Candidate x etc.

$sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

BEST of LUCK

[ilugd] CERT India(?!) and Security

2005-04-08 Thread Viksit Gaur
Greetings,

Here's some food for thought for the hackers on the
list - I came across it a long time back, was too lazy
to ask on-list!

1) CERT India does'nt have a website anymore.
http://www.cert-in.org.in/ doesn't seem to live
anymore - or is it that I'm being blocked from every
network I try to access it from?

2) Accessing PakCERT's site twice in a row using a
Win2k box with Firefox (first) and IE (second) gave me
a BSOD. The third time, I was fine.

3) As for policy and security, there are individual
ERTs in the government, but which deal only with the
security of certain networks. And with the absence of
CERT India, there doesn't seem to be a centralized
resource to obtain contact information for any kind of
security issues. 

  * India is not a member of the  Asia Pacific
Security Incident Response Co-ordination Working
Group, it being the only major country in Asia which
isn't. 
http://www.singcert.org.sg/apsirc.htm

  * The old framework for the ERTs seems to have had a
breakdown. All search results for incident reponse,
india, CERT and Computer Security lead nowhere.

Anyone got leads?

Cheers,
Viksit

 Well if u are looking for a crash course i will
recommend a book by orielly publication called "Linux
server hacks". This book covers basics of major
concepts of linux servers from memory tuning to
securit setup including firewalls, proxies and much
