[newbie] evolution 1.0.8
Does anyone have a list of rpms required to install this version from cooker. I have hit a brick wall with libpisock++.so.0 and libreadline.so.4.3 needed by pilot-link-0.11.3-2mdk When I look these up in rpmfind, it points to pilot-link as the source. Going in circles here!

Re: [newbie] evolution 1.0.8
To be quite honest you WILL NOT be able to do a proper update of evolution from cooker tree to an 8.2 box. The reason I say this is that the 8.2 box was compiled w/ gcc 2.96.x and thus through the last major set of releases you could update only a few things to get some cooker functionality, however w/ cooker being compiled w/ gcc 3.2 now I'm afraid that once you start updating rpms you'll find that most system rpm's will have to be updated. Just to make your life easier, use urpmi and add a cooker source. Try updating evolution and look at how many packages you'll have to fix.

Re: [newbie] phpnuke.
There is another weblog - postnuke www.postnuke.com that was formely based on phpnuke but is completely rewritten for now. I have made some sites based on that and on my oppinion it works far better than phpnuke. Not maybe for performance wise , but the way on customization and administration side 7 times more advanced. lot of themes, lot of modules and so on. There is also a big difference between phpnuke and postnuke PHPNuke is open source but closed development with one man ruling it (FB), based on what he likes. POSTNuke is open source and open development with more that 100 developers around.

[newbie] Spam
Mark I am sending you this direct with a copy to newbie,as my newbie
messages
on this subject do no seem to be getting through, and I wanted to thank you.
First let me correct myself , you are quite right both postfix and
procmail are on
mandrake, I just didn't know that they were commandline programmes, not that
I have anything at all against that.
I've visited the websites and copied the text to text file on desktop
and read most of it. As always there is too much to take in at once, but
I'm sure I will get there.
As a start , and after looking at the spiel for both I decided to take a
further look at postfix.I read the man pages on this .
I'm completely a newbie where bash scripts are concerned.So I thought I
had better look at the file structure first.
cd /var/spool/postfix
# ls

bounce/ defer/flush/ maildrop/ private/ save
# ls active
0/ 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 7/ 8/ 9/ A/ B/ C/ D/ E/ F/
# ls corrupt
# ls deferred
# ls incoming
0/ 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 7/ 8/ 9/ A/ B/ C/ D/ E/ F/
# ls pid
inet.smtp master.pid unix.cleanup unix.local unix.rewrite
# ls public
pickup| qmgr| showq=
# ls bounce
# ls flush
# ls maildrop
# ls private
bounce= cleanup= defer= flush= lmtp= rewrite= tlsmgr| virtual=
bsmtp= cyrus=error= ifmail= local= smtp= uucp=
# ls saved
cd /etc/postfix
localhost postfix# ls
access canonical postfix-script* transport
access.db canonical.db prng_exchtransport.db
aliases main.cf relocatedvirtual
aliases.db master.cf relocated.db virtual.db

The first is useful for old machines, the others are useful with newer machines. Olaf I don't think it's such a good idea Olaf. It would require another 11 or 12 mb's of CD space for each kernel, and installation CD space is already tight. Most 'expert users' know how to compile for their arch. There's little or nothing to be gained, even compiling for Athlon. Many have reported that compiling for i686 actually produces less performance. It would put unneeded, unwarranted support obligations on the Mandrake developers. EG, I've read some reports that compiling with MPENTIUM4 support for P4 cpu's can cause problems, with no performance enhancement. So, if true, this could cause support nightmares, for no good reason. That said, I'm d/ling kernel-source-2.4.19-9mdk as I type and I'll shortly compile it for k7.

Gimp is a very powerful tool for editing images. But PaintShop Pro offers a better image handling capability where you can browse a directory, which produces a set of thumbnails that can then be sorted, copied, moved, deleted easily. There are at least a few really good apps that you could use to compliment Gimp for this specific purpose. GQview, for instance, will give you a thumbnail of pics in a directory, and you can detach (float) the directory pane from the view pane for exclusive use with Gimp. Yeh, and thou canst perform file operations on the thumbnails, too. More than one way to skin a cat. Miark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

You can do montage creations with montage . The level of intergation is perhaps not as good as PaintShop Pro, at least that is what my adult chidren tell me who have learnt PaintShop Pro at school and uni but it doesn't really matter.Why not take one kde desktop and put up all the picture manipulation apps you need to accomplish the tasks you have in mind to work on, then do whatever you want , and if in the meantime you feel the need to switch back to another task you can flick over to another desktop where something else is running, like writing a disk or something. Gimp is a funny looking programme, the 4 little windows that pop up on first configuration , suggest very little of it's capabilities, and I suppose if I'm honest the start menu layout could be more ergonomic , but it can do a lot of interesting picture manipulation. I would unresevedly advise you to explore it. I have only just started to do things with it but it's very capable.
