It lets you rename a set of files using a PCRE to determine the new file name. For example, to do what you've suggested you could use something like this: rename 's/^proj1//' * The manual page has some other useful examples.

I'm sure this came through SLUG maybe 2000 or 2001. IIRC it takes a few resistors soldered in the backshell. You'll need to get 1/4 W metal resistors (blue body) and some spaghetti tube to do this neatly and safely if you want to fit the backshell back on.

If you want cheap and lots of data, TPG is probably worth a shot. If you're on an iiNet exchange they're reasonably good value. Depending on what you're downloading, iiNet and Internode both have large mirrors of free content. Internode has the largest free content mirror I know of. I use iiNet on the 40Gpeak/40G off peak ADSL2+ plan and I synch at about 14Mbps so I can download my quota in < 2 days :-( As has been suggested, Whirlpool is the place to go for information.

[SLUG] Sun video connector
Hi there. I wonder if there is anyone there that is familiar with the Sun computer video connector. I have an old Sun on which I installed Linux and a standard PC which runs windows. I can run both on the same monitor that I have which sports two inputs. I can toggle between them. I still will need two keyboards and mice, but that is small and easy. The problem is that the Sun has that special connector, though the monitor is VGA. I found several adaptors in eBay but the first vendor warns that each Sun monitor output is different and that if I use the wrong adaptor I can burn the video card, or the monitor, or the computer - and I wonder if I could bring down the whole power grid too! Is it true? Are the contacts different from one Sun model to another, or all Sun video connectors are the same? Do I need a specific adaptor?

The mainstream ISPs I'm aware of are TPG, Telstra Bigpond, Optus Cable and iinet. IMO stick with mainstream. They're cheaper. > Could anyone tell me something more (bad and good experiences) > than what is on > their webpages? I use TPG ADSL2+. I'm about 5-8 kms from a DSLAM, so I get about 2 mbits out of the theoretical 20 mbit speed. For $59.99 you get 50 gigs (30 gb peak, 20 gb offpeak). No game servers, no mirrors. Shaped to 64 kbits. For $69.99 you get 150 gigs (40 gb peak, 110 gb offpeak). I'm on an old plan ($59.99, 30 gb, shaped 128 kbits). I prefer staying on this as I need faster shaped speeds. And all my internet usage is during peak hours anyway. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
