Re: [ilugd] Need advice on setup of computers for a rural school

This is exactly the sort of feedback that I was looking for, and meshes in very well with my initial thoughts. Could you explain further what FSMK is, and how we could benefit from their expertise? Glad that the reply was useful. FSMK or Free Software movement Karnataka[1] is a non profit organization trying to spread free software ideas to people from all parts of society mainly in Karnataka. We do not have any permanent employees and the volunteers are mainly either software professionals, academicians or students in colleges. Community center is one chapter of FSMK where we try to reach students from less privileged part of the society and teach them to use computers completely on free software. Some more info about it here, [2],[3]. Regarding LTSP in particular, it was one experiment that tried to utilize few old donated systems while starting a new community center at FSMK's office. I had tried it myself with the help of few others and hence I can help you with whatever I learnt while implementing it. Apart from little configuration tweaking for network setup, LTSP itself is very easy to setup. This guide[4] is very good and explanatory. Considering replies from others in this thread, it will be interesting to setup LTSP based cluster with thin client being powered by Raspberry Pi. It will make the whole setup very compact. However one problem with Raspberry Pi in such setup is that if something in it gets faulty, I dont think it can be repaired. But again considering the low cost of raspberry pi, you can still try it out.

Re: [ilugd] Cheap Android Phone with Call Recorder

(The trouble with call recorder is that Andriod does not allow access to the voice buffer during a call. Hacks which record from the speakerphone are aweful) I use Galaxy Ace but its not sub 5K. One of my friend had shared an app called Call Recorder and it records all my calls without any issues. However, I am not sure if any of the sub 5k phones will support it. Probably someone could try it and let us know. The app is called Call Recorder by Hongbo. -- Regards, Vignesh Software Engineer http://2paisasbyviggy.wordpress.com/ http://fsmk.org ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Re: [ilugd] Postfix sends all mails to SPAM

Pl. reply i am using postfix 2.x and centos. the postfix is resposible for just sending the emails, as for reveiving i am using google apps. As far as I could understand, since gmail is sending all your mails to SPAM box, your IP has actually been blacklisted by gmail and hence any mail from the same is directly sent to SPAM box. You might want to check if spamhaus has blacklisted your IP from here http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup.lasso . -- Regards, Vignesh B.
