The ones I found that were desktop size (1024x768) were not very crisp. Thanks Todd. Michael Cox has some very nice pics. Don't know of any high-quality photos of penguins tho, hopefully someone can help out there. Oh hang on, I have 3 cute photos that I could send you via email. Email me direct if you want them.

[newbie] Firewall - Your Personal Choice
Right now I am using PMFirewallmainly because it was used by Mandrake in their firewall tutorialbut is there a better firewall than PMFirewall and I am also not too sure if the firewall is up and running...ther is no indication if it is running or not. What is your personal choice of a firewall ( I am using a DSL connection) and does your choice give you some kind of indication that it is up and running...?? Rod
Re: [newbie] Firewall - Your Personal Choice
Rod, Pmfirewall is fine for a workstation on a local network that also has a dedicated firewall, but I would not recommend it for an Internet-accessible server. By dedicated firewall, I am talking a separate box that only does firewalling and nothing (or almost nothing) else. I use FreeSco (www.freesco.org) for my dedicated firewall. It is based on an older Linux kernel, boots off a floppy, and runs on my 486 with 16MB RAM in a virtual RAM disk -- so once it is booted up, I pull out the floppy, making the machine virtually unhackable. I say unhackable, because there are no drives that can be mounted, and therefore even IF someone manages to crack the system and install a backdoor, a simple reboot from diskette wipes the RAM disk and gives me a clean system once again. Further, because the system is dedicated, there are no other Internet services running that are known security risks. Also, it constantly shows me its system log on the monitor, so I always know when the firewall is running properly, and if anything strange is happening (like someone scanning my network for open ports, etc.). I also run pmfirewall on my workstations, because if someone manages to get into my firewall, then they still have another local firewall to get past if they really want to reach my important systems.

My first question is how you get the "personal" menu to show upI have setup 2 machines right next to eachother, and I think I did everything the same, except one of the machines has a "personal" menu which lets me run a lot more apps. I know I have all of the same programs loaded on both machines, but can't run some of them on the machine w/o the "personal" menu. As you've probably read already, KAppFinder will hunt down some applications not in the K-menu for you.

I don't think licq is installed by default in Mandrake 5.3. You'll have to go out and download it (http://licq.wibble.net). In 6.0, I am not sure. Try 'rpm -q licq'. If it prints out something like licq-0.70.1 then licq should be installed. If licq is installed, and typing 'licq' at a command prompt does not run the program, you can search for it. On your K Menu there should be a "Find Files" entry. This will bring up a dialog similar to Windows' Find Files dialog. If you can find licq, then it's directory must not be in your path. You may want to move the executable to a directory that is in your path (like /usr/bin) or add that directory to your path- I think it's defined in /etc/profile. Also, several of the programs I try to install off the CDs (I have the powerpack) call for libs, such as libform.** I have not found these on the CDs. Am I just not looking in the right places, or what? You can use the "Find Files" to check the CD, too. They're probably in RPM format.
