After discussing the idea on irc last night I've refined the idea a bit.

an hour and a half.
Have you dood this before?
The time I was involved in doing a radio show, it was quickly realised
that we needed to be trained. arf arf arf,
1) to reduce the number of umm, errs, etc,
2) to encourage voice projection,

4) to ensure we knew what we were going to say.
Of course this was only for a number of 10 minutes segments in a 20
minute show, so timing was a bit tighter.

[SLUG] CVS problem
Hello, I've been using CVS to do revision control on my own software. Today I got a very nasty surprise when I found what appeared to be CVS revision tags inside my file.

I've been following up my last post about the problem of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whilst this may not affect students, I think that they have very strict IT policies regarding staff computers. They dictate everything which must be used right down to the laptop hardware and keyboard. This seems to indicate that staff research interests are pretty much secondary to IT policy.

It doesn't do what cxoffice does, but it does what the original poster asked - i.e. to be able to login remotely to a linux machine from Windows and run a graphics interface on the Linux which displays its windows on the Windows machine. In case you are not up to date with it (which I suspect from your definition of Gygwin as a simple unix-api) then it also includes a full port of the core XFree86 to Windows.

It is a bit slow and I was wondering about a more efficient way to run programs on a server Vnc is fastER (but still not _fast_) and less hassle (only one port to worry about) on a WAN. Straight X is much faster on a LAN. If money is not too much of an object and time is, a client of mine was using Cygwin and now is using nomachine (http://www.nomachine.com). There is a freeNX version. It is much faster than Cygwin with ssh particularly on low speed lines, much easier to setup and the client installs are available for windows, linux, playstation and I think OSX. It apparently works by removing lots of unnecessary chat from the X protocol. There is a live demo that runs X from Italy. Cost was about $1K for a dual processor 40 user win4lin server, so about $25/user or some such. Compared to tuning X, it was a godsend. It also tidied up all that messy ssh-keygen stuff and saves about 1/2 hour per PC on install...

Which was sorta the whole point for me. I think (from memory) that the NX protocol insisted that the server and client had the same bitdepth (no. of colours) which wasn't the case for the two machines I tried.

Hi All, It looks like there's perhaps enough interest to at least set up some kind of place to yack that's not on this list.

Sorry for the unimaginative name... Thanks for the MIT links Hal. The OCW setup at MIT is pretty amazing. James, you offered your test script updates. If you want, do you want to put them up on the community site ? I hope that's okay to have set this up. I'll transcribe the accumulated links from these emails to the site a bit later on too.
