If you like online books, and when I say books I mean articles, and of
course good being subjective... :-)

Let me not answer your question by suggesting James Gregory's articles on
CSS:

http://shipyard.com.au/shipyard/articles/webdevelopment/introducing_css.py
http://shipyard.com.au/shipyard/articles/webdevelopment/ie_workarounds.py

and an article in the previous and upcoming print editions of internet.au
magazine.

There's also http://alistapart.com/ , 'The only CSS journal worth reading'.

I've found that just a copy of the W3C CSS spec 
(http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/#specs) combined with poking about in other 
peoples CSS and playing about with ideas yourself is sufficient. Also 
check out http://www.csszengarden.com/ for some cool CSS designs base on 
the same HTML, pretty cool what can be achieved.

My recomendation would be to look at other's CSS, find the tricks,
and then nearly every CSS style has a good description on w3schools
website. (Try google)

I don't think I'm specifying a particular interface - it's the ISC DHCP 2.x 
daemon I'm using on a Debian stable system.  I'm also using the stoxk init 
script.  From what I've gathered on this thread, it seems the "liston on 
only th[is|ese] interfaces?" logic was included with DHCPD3.  *shrug*

Trunking is dead easy on Cisco switches, provided the OS running on the
switch is older than something like version 11.

I suspect what you want is not, however, what Cisco calls trunking.
"Trunking" in the Cisco world is a means of managing VLAN's - what you
want is known as "etherchanneling" or an "etherchannel" - it's also easy
to setup from the switch side of things, but I don't know how you'd go at
the server end.

Re: [SLUG] Linksys Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives

2004-07-07 Thread Stuart Guthrie
Looks good. I wonder what the community will make this one do? If only
they had a linux brand mark on the front 'Powered By The Penguin'
perhaps. Something like what Cyclades do on their gear. Might raise even
more awareness of OSS and it's ubiquity.

Stuart

>From the article:

Fans of hacking Linksys' Open Source based WRT54G router  will be happy
to know that the company has presented you with another opportunity in
the NSL. If you browse the included CD, you'll find a folder that
contains original source for the SnapGear Embedded Linux that runs the
NSL, plus source files for the various modified Linux modules used in
the product.

Just as Linksys' venerable BEFSR41 "Linky" router marked the start of
easy, affordable Internet sharing for the masses, I predict the NSLU2
will do the same for NAS. I haven't been this enthused about a product
in a long time, let alone one from the networking equivalent of the
Borg. But I have to say that the NSLU2 has restored my faith in Linksys'
ability to shake the industry up a bit.

Yes, I know rolling your own SAMBA server can be even cheaper if you
happen to be handy with Linux, but for about $125 (using your own spare
drive and a cheap USB 2.0 enclosure), why not just save yourself some
time and keep your blood pressure where it should be?

I think I am using a different version of dhcp (debian), as it is 
responding to /etc/defaults/dhcp, now it is basically asking me the same 
thing.

Red Hat and Fedora use /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd

Pity we don't just patch dhcpd to include the interfaces it'll listen on
in its config file. Then we wouldn't need these crap, extra,
distro-specific files.

Hi Cheng,

SLUG occasionaly holds days known as "Installfests" where people
of the general public can come and volunteers help to install
linux on their computer.

Our next installfest is to be held in the early weeks of August.
An announce will be sent out to our announce list (which can be
subscribed to at http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/announce)
as well as the main list.

Cheers,
 - Chris
