Remember Turbolinux?
Is anyone using Turbolinux? Does anyone have any advice/warnings regarding it's usage? I was browsing through Linux Distro sites and saw that Turbolinux is still developing their own distro, aside from United Linux. I called the company and was told that the Asian market's needs warranted both product lines. Turbolinux is now on version 8.0. The workstation is only sold in Asia; but the server is available in America. A demo iso (missing gnome and some other stuff) is available for download. You can get more information at: http://www.turbolinux.com/products/tl8s/ The RPM selection is rather slim, even compared to RedHat; but the workstation RPMS are available on the ftp site. (I wonder if their all in Japanese?) I'm in the middle of installing the demo now. So far, installation has been easy/painless. Andrew Gould __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Re: email RFC's?
Keith Morse wrote: This comment is for the thread and not Mr. Bandel specifically. This thread strikes me as being elitist and a common attitude I see with IT, IS, (or HMFIC's) people that manage mail services. Fine, email is not apropos for sending files, but what do we provide the customer as an alternative? ftp. It's been around since Hector was a pup, has low overhead, and is a standard. It works both ways, both upload and download. Anonymous ftp servers are so common you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. My client base is not residential but government, quasi-goverment, and non-profits that generate and diseminate MS-Word docs, pdfs, jpgs, spreadsheats, and other types of non-ASCII information. So is mine. Supreme Court, State of New Mexico. We use Word Perfect and Adobe Acrobat as the standard, supported products. Calling them morons, Bubbas, or idiots doesn't solve the problem. True. Most aren't bubbas or idiots, but innocence is no more unilateral than guilt. My limit is 50mb per email. I've noticed that people that use attachments are fairly active email users and as such don't present much issue with respect to mail spool size. Also my customer base is probably not as large as David's so my bandwidth and disk storage requirements are not as steep. I have 1707 users (as of this afternoon) of whom 50% are on 56k leased lines that piggyback to a regional T-1, then back to our DS3. A couple of weeks ago one individual decided that *everybody* needed to see some pictures. The attachment size was 25Mb! Now imagine 850 people trying to download this message over 56k connections, some with as many as 75 people at each facility. Needless to say, the calls started flooding in about their inability to establish connectivity to their database servers (which are their lifeblood as well as the general public's) people waiting in line, judges having to delay proceedings because they couldn't access their case schedules, and on and on. 90% of these people didn't even know the person sending the message. Needless to say, the limit was reduced to avoid a repeat of a problem of this type. I don't care *who* it is, nobody should be able to impact a production environment that the public relies on in such a manner. When somebody needs to download files off the internet, do they email you the files? Of course not! They email a link to the files, not the file itself. Good Lord! Next thing we'll be having iso images sent as email attachments! An email server is not an ftp server anymore than plutonium is a dietary supplement. I'm open for ideas. Remember that email attachments are handled by uuencode/uudecode to pass properly. A typical 1Mb email attachment has become 2Mb after uuencode processes it. Multiply this by X amount of messages, calculate the total number of messages and suddenly network usage has doubled. Many people still pay for bandwidth based upon usage, so now this simple act of attaching a file, rather than a link to the file is costing someone real money. Unless the sender is paying part of their bill, I doubt if any of these people suddenly become best buddies with them. All of which is completely unnecessary, and only because Joe Lunchbucket (thanks Kurt) doesn't want to be "inconvenienced". -- Andrew Mathews - 7:05pm up 33 days, 18:01, 12 users, load average: 1.10, 1.16, 1.11 - We read to say that we have read. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

This doesn't sound like a power supply problem to me. I think your controller is dying.

Re: Some help with BIND9 settings!
Is your DNS interface behind the firewall on this linux box? If so
readup on forwarders. can you ping the namerserver interface from your
windows box? if yes can you telnet to port 53 on the dns interface?

the windows machines but now i want the linux machine totake care of it.
If anyone can help me from here on some steps to make sure everything

timeout was 2 seconds.

disk controller problem?
Hi list; OK, still trying to first diagnose my mysterious disk controller (?) problem. Here is the behavior. a) Leave the computer with idle applications (text editor, console, konqueror) on the screen and leave it overnight. b) Come back in the morning. Screensaver is running. c) Move the mouse and a 'broken' desktop appears, mostly just a blank screen, and the computer (mouse, keyboard) is frozen. d) Press the 'reset' button to reboot (but leave the computer power on). e) On reboot, one or more SCSI disks are not recognized. That is, the SCSI ID that is jumper selected on the drive is not seen at all, as if the device were not even plugged into the SCSI cable. Additionally, even if a bootable drive is actually recognized, the mbr seems to be unreadable. f) Ctrl-Alt-Del yields the same results. g) Finally, a full power off reboot fixes the problem.

Actually, there is a better DNS server than Bind. It is also easier to

No. Just keep a hard limit and the moron will have to learn. I don't know about any standard off the top, but I do know that some pop servers (older versions of cucipop, not sure about newer ones) would choke on an e-mail larger than 2Mb.
