Re: Need help for Installfest
I would say go with RHEL for $99: https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/developers/ It comes with a real RHEL subscription so there's no munging around with CentOS.

Re: Bulk HTML mailing
I would use an auto responder service. Mose have built in tools that will help you design HTML emails. http://www.aweber.com/ is very popular. http://www.icontact.com/ This one seem to be good. http://emailaces.com/ is a low end provider. Hope this helps.

Re: Need help for Installfest
I'll be there in the afternoon, possibly earlier. I haven't done a 10g install, but I've installed Oracle a few times for 7/8/9.

RE: Nokia N900
Here's the original discussion.. http://lists.plug.phoenix.az.us/lurker/thread/20090831.193415.5df4e42d.en.ht ml#20090831.193415.5df4e42d -Original Message- From: plug-discuss-boun...@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-boun...@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of stor...@storkus.com Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 3:46 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Nokia N900 I'm very surprised no one has brought this device up for discussion yet! It would appear to blow away the current Android and OpenMoko devices by packing a 600 MHz ARM proc, 256MB DRAM, a huge wad of flash, 802.11bg AND bluetooth, and--biggest of all--quad-band GSM AND a 3G radio compatible with T-Mobile USA. It also has USB2 and, curiously (I don't know exactly what it is) "TV-Out". On the software side, it runs their distro called Maemo which, GUI-wise, has Qt at the core, though you can still run GTK apps like its predecessor the N810. It's almost entirely free software and hackable, one of the biggest ones that aren't is macromedia flash being included (presumably so you can play Youtube video--I couldn't see playing flash games on an ARM...). The way I (and a lot of others) see it, this is like the early OLPC's or eeepc's in terms of horsepower and (somewhat) memory. More than one person out there has suggested it could be used as a sort of hand-held file server. The geek in me is going even more nuts over buying this than the Sheevaplug since I could obviously do so much more with it. The few reviewers that have gotten their hands on it so far were mostly morons that obviously couldn't fathom the potential that could be unlocked from it. For instance, the keyboard gets griped at a lot. So? Get one of those roll-up USB keyboards from Thinkgeek: since it's a lightweight distro (Busybox was explicitly mentioned) and (hopefully full) kernel in there, I would presume that USBHID hasn't been neutered. So what do you all think? My current phone (a Motorola V3xx) is still working ok, and the N900 is nowhere near cheap...but, damn, it's making me drool! Should I get it or not?

Re: a Karmic Koala Goodness
Actually, my experience has been the opposite recently. It seems some features (especially some WiFi unfortunately) don't work on the Live CD but do once properly installed. I would imagine the experience can go either way depending on the specific hardware and distro and release. Most of the time though there is no difference other than speed which is very fortunate.
