Re: [newbie] qmail cool site
Well, for what I've been able to investigate while I was looking for a mail server, it seems that both offer almost the same capabilities. Now, I try installing Postfix, but I found this site, www.qmailrocks.org, and when I read some of the installing guide, I thought: that sounds easy. I try installing qmail and as I said, it was rather easy. It took me over a couple of hours to install QMail (the guy that made the guide really thought on everything) and two more hours to install all the extra tools, like vqadmin, qmailadmin, spamassasin, et. al. I really recommend you to try QMail. It will take you four hours until you have a fully functional, complete, easy-to-use and safe mail server. All you need is this guide (you'll be requested to download a tar file where you'll find the source code for qmail and other tools; this guy even created configuration scripts to make things easier!).

Re: [newbie] Kde desktop disappeared
Hello all. Just a few thoughts. I bought my Mandrake copy directly from France. No downloads, no screwed CDs, everything should have been perfect. However, while the installation was OK (not a single error), when I started the system up, when loading the Mandrake GUI selector (I actually don't know its name, hope I made myself clear: that is, where you should enter the username and password) the system didn't react. It wasn't frozen because when I entered Ctl+Alt+Backspace, the X system stopped alright. In the first place, I though it had something to do with my hardware. However, when I started up the system WITHOUT authomatic X window startup (that is, only the terminal), and when I write (after the login) # startx the X Window (with KDE) started without problems. Hence, I suspected that the problem was indeed the GUI Selector. Then, in the configuration panel, I changed the default manager from Mandrake's own to KDE's or GNOME and now everything works fine. Maybe you can try something like these, although I don't know how to do it from command line. Greetings, Fernando Gómez. == Registered Linux User 381647.

Hopefully it's all stability in that respect. This machine (my work-horse:triade1) runs kmail1.7.1 on kde3.2.3 with mdk10.1, but admittedly I don't use imap, only pop-servers.

[newbie] E mail server
Hello folks, I'm installing a web server, apache, and nowadays its running quite well. The next step is to provide full email service for those domains (nowaday we have two, zeti.net and kendersoftware.net). I've been googling for documentation about it, and i found some options like Postfix, Sendmail, Fetchmail and QMail (some of these are available through my Mandrake 10.1 PowerPack copy). I'd like to hear some opinions about, maybe someone out there can help me choose a server. Furthermore, I'd thank a lot if someone can provide me a tutorial, docs, etc, on what I need for making this stuff work (I'm looking at postfix.org docs 'cause Postfix seems to be reliable, but the material there is rather confussing...).

Well, they defended their beloved son by raising the taxes for European steel... that's playing fair, haha! Now, I totally agree that Europe wasn't able to stop the awake gigant, despite many governments effors (i.e. as far as I know, both the German and Spanish governments were only running Unix as their systems; a german and a spanish guy might confirm this). But it seems to me rather excessive blaming Europe when not even the U.$. was able to stop their problem in their own country. Of course, more excessive is to call them Nazis... when the nazism reborn is in the U.$. (shall I remind you the immigrant-hunters in Arizona?) (News flash: The US is not responsible for every thing that happens in every corner of the world.) I know, I know... of course that U.$. is not responsible for everything... usually, U.$. stays away from activities where their greed cannot be satisfied. But if an activity means profit to them, they won't care if people dies, if the environment is destroyed, if they leave entire nations in the poverty, if they divide nations, etc. As proves: 1. U.$. is in permanent war for the oil, i.e. in Afganistan and Irak twice, and now they are threating Venezuela and Iran. 2. U.$. didn't sign the Kyoto Protocol for reducing environment pollution, despite that they produce 40% of the pollution in the world. 3. Kosovo in 1999 and Vietnam in 1970s are examples of countries that U.$. leave in poverty after the war, even when the war started for helping them. 4. Although the blame is shared with the U.S.S.R., it's a shame seeing Korea divided and with too much hate. I do not deny that U.S. has many, many good things. Technology advances such as Internet and in physics and maths (and The Simpsons =D) are remarkable. Unfortunately, U.S. harms more than it helps. Its amazing when you ask U.S. people and they really think that they're helping menkind. Unless U.S. citizens realize that the Empire struggles people around the world, and stop seeking for gold and money and golden money, the Empire will be hated until they fall (as Rome, the Sacre Roman-German Empire, Otoman Empire, the III Reich did. Even the Galactic Empire, with Darth Vader as the leader, fell =D). Anyway, this is not the forum for this discution. And it seems that I made a storm in a glass of water; I apologize.

[newbie] About SpeedStream 5200 router
Hello all. I'm trying to set up an Internet server. I am connected through an ADSL, and the router is a Speed Stream 5200. The mandrake server is connected to such router, and this is connected to my phone line. However, I can't access my server's main web page (the server is Apache). Meanwhile I set up this, I'm using my actual dynamic IP address. So let's say that the IP address is 200.17.24.101.

[newbie] Problems starting M10.1 - it freezes
Hello all. Yesterday, after a long week, I received from France my Mandrake 10.1 Powerpack copy. Finally I can upgrade from my old Red Hat 9 copy! Anyway, although it was rather late and I was sleeping, I decided to install Mandrake. Finally, after a long wait, it ended. The installer told me to restart the machine, so I did. It loaded all Linux, and led me to a blue screen with the Mandrake logo. After that, it didn't happen anythig. It actually does not freezes, because I can move my mouse, and if I press the shut down button of my laptop, it sends the kill all signal and finishes the system correctly. Moreover, if I press Ctl+Alt+Backspace it restarts the machine. However, I never get to the logon screen. Perhaps I missed up something while installing (as I said, I was sleeping and maybe I didn't follow one step). Tonight I will install it again, but I'd like to know any ideas on this subject. Thanks for your help, Fernando Gomez. P.S. My machine: Laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro (¿7000?) HD 40GB RAM 704 MB (512+192) Proc.
