Whats the > reason for that? > > - > FemmeFatale Why setup a mail server at home? Here's several reasons: * You can stop bugs from getting to your Windows machines by setting up your own mail server on a linux box - using whatever you like - either SENDMAIL or POSTFIX - and do a much better job at catching the nasties than any M$ box could hope of. * Better connection control. You can setup your system to check for mail at specific times - and use FETCHMAIL to grab all the mail for all your users, then send what it has to send. Nice, scheduled and timely. * You can setup shared IMAP folders for all the users on your home network so that you can share documents and emails (funnies, especially) as well as do other, more productive things. * You can very quickly and easily setup a web interface for the users on your home network to get their mail - keeps them from having to rely on crap like M$ pOutlook and M$ Outlook Digress, er, Express * You can setup internal email so that you can send nasty emails to your children (or partner) without having them bounce outside then back in again. * Snatching your email as quickly as you can before it can be read by the spies and hackers out there is a better idea than letting it sit in a queue or spool where the Evil US Government can read it...so the faster you get it home, the safer (supposedly) it is... * You can setup your own spam filtering system to do so much better than any M$ product can. (And OH how simple that is) * You can suck your Hotmail down to your system without ever having to go to the Hotmail site (what a drag) and spamfilter it as well... * You're in control. You like being in control, don't you ?? * You're stabbing back at the rank and file of the internet world by having your own email server. Why not do it just for that matter? * You learn email setup and administration * You're in control. Or did I mention that already? * You're the envy of all your geek friends because you setup/maintain/administer your own home email server. Kudos! Whilst they pine away over bugs and nasties in their M$ products, you're happily chomping through your millions of daily emails with nary a problem! * You're doing more on your one teensy weensy little linux box than an entire MS Exchange server could possibly do - no matter who the administrator was! (And you're more in CONTROL. CONTROL.CONTROL) * You're cool when you have a home email server. * Osama bin Laden doesn't have his own email server, but you can! * George Bush can't even spell "email server", but you have one at home. Dig that. * No one can shut down your home email server. It's yours, and that's that. * If something goes wrong, you don't have to call tech support. You can scream at yourself instead. * NO QUOTAS when you have your own email server. Someone can send you 100mb of absolute crap and it won't kill your account status. * You can have your own home email server and pink hair at the same time. -- Sat, 15 Feb 2003 17:55:01 +1100 5:55pm up 45 min, 3 users, load average: 0.65, 0.29, 0.27 -- |____ | kuhn media australia| | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389| | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | -- linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting -- Think honk if you're a telepath.

H. Opera Swipes at Microsoft with Muppet Browser Fri February 14, 2003 01:53 PM ET By John Acher OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian software group Opera took a swipe at U.S. giant Microsoft MSFT.O on Friday by issuing a an Internet browser that converts text on Microsoft's Web Site into the nonsense language of a popular television puppet. When Opera users visit Microsoft's MSN site (http://www.msn.com/) with the new browser, the text displayed there appears to them in a language mimicking that of the Swedish chef on the popular "Muppet Show," Opera said in a statement. "This joke is for real," Opera's chief technology officer Haakon Wium Lie told Reuters. Opera calls its new browser the "Bork edition" after the "Bork, Bork, Bork!" sound made by the Swedish chef Muppet. In the chef's mock Swedish, the MSN site headline "Weekend movie guide" is rendered "Veekend mufeee-a gooeede-a" and "Looking for a new car?" is "Luukeeng fur a noo cer?" to Opera browser users.

My reply was just a frustrated remark about governments not respecting the civil rights of their own citizens.

No, it is not implemented in 1.3a. From http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.3a/: Mozilla Mail now has basic junk-mail classification capabilities. This means you can train your client to distinguish between good mail and junk-mail.

RE: [newbie] Another fluxbox/ROX convert: [was] This is personal!
Rob, Can't help you on the two fluxbox toolbars but you can run ROX with multiple 'panels' (like KDE's kicker) where you can dock apps, directories or files. The panels can be on the left, right, bottom or top and you can invoke more than one. e.g. this is my .fluxbox/startup file #!/bin/bash xscreensaver -no-splash & bsetbg -f /home/terry/Photos/uploads/IMG_0464.JPG rox --left=PANEL --pinboard=PIN This will startup xscreensaver, set a desktop background and invoke the ROX-filer. The options for rox include a left side panel (where I dock frequently used application icons) and a 'pinboard'. The latter allows you to place icons anywhere on your desktop. I've got a few frequently-accessed directory icons on the pinboard just above the bottom-center fluxbox toolbar. Simple, but effective. There is an issue with passing the commands to the fluxbox root menu (rt button) through the pinboard but there's a patch and some workarounds. Write if you have questions.

[newbie] Possibly dumb USB question
I was digging around in my desk the other day, and found a cheesy little USB webcam that Earthlink sent me about 3 years ago. I figured I'd play with it a little, but then realized I've never used a USB device on my linux box (don't have a windows box anymore)...so I don't even know if they work, let alone how to make the webcam work. So, a couple questions: 1. How can I tell for sure if my USB ports work? I plugged the webcam in, and booted up, but didn't see the little green light on it flash (not that I expected to). 2. Assuming they work, what software should I use for this webcam? And of course, that's even assuming it will work ... it barely worked in windows, although I think that was more a software and OS problem than it was the webcam itself. I'm using 9.1b3 right now, on a PC with an Abit KG7 mobo, AMD XP1800+, 1 gig of RAM, and ATI Radeon 32 meg All in wonder.

> You don't really provide enough detail to venture much of a guess > here. how about providing your configs and the exact error you're > seeing... that would be a good start. Sorry about that. Here's httpd.conf: __ # # Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool. # # This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the # configuration directives that give the server its instructions. # See http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/> for detailed information about # the directives. # # Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding # what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure # consult the online docs. You have been warned. # # The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections: # 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a # whole (the 'global environment'). # 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server, # which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host. # These directives also provide default values for the settings # of all virtual hosts. # 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to # different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the # same Apache server process. # # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many # of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the # server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin # with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log" # with ServerRoot set to "/etc/httpd" will be interpreted by the # server as "/etc/httpd/logs/foo.log". # ### Section 1: Global Environment # # The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache, # such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it # can find its configuration files. # # # Don't give away too much information about all the subcomponents # we are running. Comment out this line if you don't mind remote sites # finding out what major optional modules you are running ServerTokens OS # # ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's # configuration, error, and log files are kept. # # NOTE!

[newbie] How to setup Benq DC1300 camera
Hi All. I recently upgraded my PC to the following: Asus A7N266-VM (on-board GeForce2 card), AMD Duron 1.3G & 256 RAM. I also bought a Benq DC1300 USB digital camera listed on www.everythinglinux.com.au When I attach the camera in MDK9, my PC hangs (cannot even get to a terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F1-F12) & I'm forced to reboot, there are no errors reported. How do I go about installing this camera since gphoto does not list this device! I would also like to setup Gnomemeeting to use this camera for video-conferencing.

Even MSI and Gigabyte. > Soyo seems to be holdin up, even gain ground. > OK, now. I have to step in here in defense of Abit. This is one of the original alerts on the bad capacitor issue: SEE: http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/WEBONLY/resource/feb03/ncap.html Excerpt from the above URL: "So far, the only motherboard maker to admit to the problem is ABIT Computer Corp. (Taipei), and the only major PC maker to acknowledge being affected is IBM Corp. But the problem is likely to be more widespread. Indeed, those who have repaired the damaged boards say that they have encountered crippled motherboards from Micro-Star International, ASUSTek Computer, Gigabyte Technology, and others." So from the standpoint that Abit has traditionally put out very outstanding products, and from the standpoint that they are just about the only ones that are being honest about the problem, it is lopsided to single them out as being "much much worse." I happen to HAVE an Abit mobo and it's the best I've ever owned. And I've owned a mobo or two, since I used to fabricate for a living. Asus, on the other hand, has traditionally tended to produce mobos with less than 7 slots, sometimes with wierd freako connectors whose standards nobody understands or really cares about. That's my only beef with them. Other than that, their mobos are most of the time the fastest around, and usually they can trash the other ones in the (non-overclocking) vanilla benches, Soyo and Abit included, assuming they don't do overclocking and test the boards vanilla, which is what everybody does anyway. The reason I chose Abit was threefold: One, because of the flexibility of the overclocker bios, which is the most flexible one around for tweaking CPU's. So even if my buddy next door has a soyo or asus, I can STILL outperform his mobo in the quake 3 demo benches cause my Abit allows better tweaking. Two, the mobo had no stupid onboard crap like sound, or lan or anything else that I use cards for because I might want to upgrade that feature later on. Granted, this is not true anymore for anybody when you look at all of the newer boards. Three, the Abit layout usually gives you the maximum amount of slots. They traditionally have had the most beautiful layouts. I've got a Lian Li aluminum case with eight slots available and dammit I want to use at least seven of them. The real man's mobo's used to come with eight slots available. Before I quit here, I will say that Soyo has got some beautiful layouts as well. They are one of the companies that has listened to consumer/overclocker demand and has produced boards with 7 slots. After all, I want to give credit where credit is due.
