Our solution -- a lot of packages for setting and managing firewall protected internal network and infrastructure settings for auto-detect proxy (SQUID) included to our specialized school distro -- NauLinux. SQUID connect to schools LDAP users/group DB with a different access polices for different user groups (teachers and pupils, for ex.). White list managed by some web-interfaces: more simple -- just for uploading list of educational resources placed in text file, and advanced interface for full accepting/rejecting control. --Oleg

Re: [SL6.2] Package qemu-kvm not found!
You have 2 problems, at least. One--yes, qemu-kvm doesn't exist for 32-bit because 32-bit isn't supported for KVM. Second--you can't launch any KVM guest within another virtual machine. You can only have one level deep of KVM virtualization. With a 64-bit virtual kvm host, you should at least be able to test the features of the virtual machine manager that would allow you to talk to remote libvirts and xend's.

Re: wireless not working
Sir , leave this problem for the time being, i will try this later . Let me tell u the story of real problem. During a Linux slc6.2 install to my usb hard drive, GRUB was automatically installed to the wrong MBR (master boot record). The files were on the /boot of the Linux drive, but the Windows 7’ drive’s MBR was used. This meant without both drives, I could not boot either operating system. I have tried grub-install /dev/sdb which is usb disk and grub-install /dev/sda also which is main disk. but problem is as it is. Linux is there on my usb disk i just want to boot it independently on any system. Please help.. regards Vivek Chalotra GRID Project Associate, High Energy Physics Group, Department of Physics & Electronics, University of Jammu, Jammu 180006, INDIA.
