Re: Good Linux book for MS sysadmin
Linux Administration - A Beginner's Guide by Steven Graham and Steve Shah is aimed at strong Windows users who know something about the Windows networking environment (from their intro). My copy is the third edition, which is from 2003, so it's a little old. I'm not a system administrator, I got it to fill in gaps in my knowledge. I found it useful.

Quoting Alan Yaniger, from the post of Tue, 01 Mar: Linux Administration - A Beginner's Guide by Steven Graham and Steve Shah is aimed at strong Windows users who know something about the Windows networking environment (from their intro). My copy is the third edition, which is from 2003, so it's a little old. I'm not a system administrator, I got it to fill in gaps in my knowledge. I found it useful. I learned all that I know with my own two fingers and ten eyes, so I'm not really knowledgeable about which book is better, however from some online searching I see most fingers (and Amazon reviews and sales rank) pointing at Linux in a nutshell: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxnut4/ Contents include: * Programming, system administration, networking, and user commands with complete lists of options * GRUB, LILO, and Loadlin bootloaders * Shell syntax and variables for the bash, csh, and tcsh shells * Pattern matching * Emacs, vi, and vim editing commands * sed and gawk commands * The GNOME and KDE desktops and the fvwm2 window manager * Red Hat and Debian package managers And if I'm not mistaken, an older edition of it was even translated to Hebrew (heaven forbid). What's more, I think there's an Israeli importer of O'Reiley that sells books at discount to members of Hamakor. I can't remember the name at the moment (they were the ones who gave away the prize books at AP3 if memory serves). I think I'll buy one even if to use as a loan copy to all the firends I'm trying to convert :) -- The greatest story ever told Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Maxim, Going over old mails in my mailbox, I came over this message of yours which, probably I overlooked then. First of all thanks and apologies for the very long delay. In the mean time I settled for LaTeX. I considered using lyx for a while, to ease the transition (LaTeX is pretty frightening in the beginning). The decisive experiment that ruled against this idea was made, pretty much by chance, when I tried some of the examples from Guide to LaTeX by Helmuth Kopka and Patrick Daly. I did it both directly and through lyx, and the ouputs were not identical: I decided to take the bull (LaTeX) by its horns, without any transition stage. With some help from a coleague at work, in English it works allright. I did not need yet to write in Hebrew. I hope that by the time I'll pass that hurdle, the basic use of LaTeX will already be familiar, so that I'll have only to concentrate on the new aspects.

Re: [OT] The obligations of the employer-employee relationship
Hi Shaul, Say that you fullfil the following conditions: A. you are either an independent (atsmai) or an incorporated individual and you work at a place like Motorola or IAI or Cellcom B. you agree with your customer in writing that that you have no employer-employee relationship. You have this agreement notarized to ensure that you are entering into it of your own free will. You file the agreement in a court of law. Then, if the customer decides to terminate the business relationship with you after several years, you can sue for pitsuim and pensia, with the results that the Israeli labor courts will find in your favor and will require your customer to pay you both pitsuim and pensia, on top of whatever he already paid you, and despite the fact that you might have been paying your own pensia from the money that he paid you. There is plenty of Israeli case law that demonstrates this. Despite whatever you and your customer agreed and wrote, the labor court makes it's own assumptions. It assumes that you were an atsmai or incorporated individual only in order to get employment and you had no other choice but to do so because your customer demanded it in order to avopid paying you what he is obligated to under law - pitsuim and pensia.

WiFi card for Linux Notebook
As you might guess from a previous message I sent to the list I am now in the getting 802.11g wireless card into a Linux Notebook business. I bought a Level One WPC-0301 card for 205 NIS but it was not recognized by Fedora3 and from the help I got here and from the searches II made it seems it will be hard to get a stable driver for it. Then I did some research and from the various sites I found I understand that basically only cards with Prism54 chip set are well supported. (Am I correct here ?) See this link http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php In this shop there are a few others listed that should work as well: http://www.linuxvoodoo.com/store/index.php/cPath/45_66 Now the supplier offered me a replacement card called 3CRWE154G72(A 3Com card) for 368 NIS. (one of the cards listed on the Prism site). I am not sure I want to pay an extra 163 NIS for this card if there is a cheaper but working solution. So I would like to ask you ppl. do you have experience with any PCMCIA WiFi card (11g) that works well under Linux ? Where did you buy it ? How much did it cost ?

How close do the customer supervise your work? can the customer decide one day to change your project / give you a temporary mission? and surely there are many more small tests that says if you are really an independent external worker / sub-contractor / atsmai or if the contract is just a camouflage for actually being an employee of the customer Shahar - Original Message - From: Jonathan Ben Avraham [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Shaul Karl [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: ILUG Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 9:01 Subject: Re: [OT] The obligations of the employer-employee relationship Hi Shaul, Say that you fullfil the following conditions: A. you are either an independent (atsmai) or an incorporated individual and you work at a place like Motorola or IAI or Cellcom B. you agree with your customer in writing that that you have no employer-employee relationship.
