[SLUG] Videos and slides from Linux Conf?
Dear SLUGgies, Call me an idiot (Nick's a blind idiot!) but I haven't found the slides and videos from the last Linux Conf. Can someone point me there? I'm looking firstly for Peter Chub's "I Hate SPAM!" talk. -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org ni...@nicku.org GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] A LaTeX problem, with Word.: not quite there.
The pdfpages package works. I've exported the relevant document as a .pdf and used \includepdf(word-appendix.pdf} in the LaTeX document. All Ok, as long as I stay in [draft]. When I try the full document, I receive Page Group detected which pdfTeX can't handle. My first reaction was to amend the command thus:--- \includepdf[15-20](word-appendix.pdf) (It's a 20 page document) and work myself backwards until I find what's stopping pdfLaTeX. Anyone with a better idea? Regards, Bill Bennett. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I think your apache config is wrong. This works for me (with mod_include enabled): Options Indexes IncludesNoExec FollowSymLinks ExecCGI XBitHack full AllowOverride None John -- You can't fool me: you're actually Eric Allman.

[SLUG] Web hosting recommendations
Hi all, I've looked through the archives but haven't found a lot of relevant stuff: most people are looking for VPSes and/or hosting within Australia only. I'm after a web host for a work project. What I need: - 3+GB disk space (this rules out the bulk of Australian hosts) - shared/managed hosting (I admin enough LAMP servers as it is, thanks, please no more VPSs) - Linux/PHP/MySQL (I guess that likely implies Apache) Preferences: - prefer good uptime, good service and good performance to cheap-as-chips prices - prefer a reasonable history of business in some form For a price: say ballpark AU$40 a year at most. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] Web hosting recommendations
I wish you luck with all of that but for anyone else interested in hosting I've found www.intervolve.com.au to be quite good.

Re: [SLUG] Web hosting recommendations
I'd be expecting to pay at least twice what you're talking about That being so, www.justhost.com has a special offer of $3.95 a month that may fit your needs. -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au ERTOS within National ICT Australia -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

This seems an odd comment to make: the core 3 requirements listed above are very easy to find, albeit from US hosting companies (AU companies don't provide that much disk space). My main problem is the paradox of choice, not the impossibility of finding anything at all. So which of the optional requirements are too hard: technical stability, business stability, or stability for my stated price? -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] Web hosting recommendations
$40 (AUD) p/year is going to be hard to find even in the US on a shared server so good luck. I have been using http://webhostingbuzz.com for a around four years now. Despite the bad name they have been fantastic.. I have a reseller account in which I host several domains. You are welcome to have some space on it if you like, but I must point out that I am not in the business of hosting websites.. cheers david On Tue, May 12, 2009 at 4:38 PM, Ashley Glenday wrote: > I wish you luck with all of that but for anyone else interested in hosting > I've found www.intervolve.com.au to be quite good. > > Mary Gardiner wrote: >> >> Hi all, >> >> I've looked through the archives but haven't found a lot of relevant >> stuff: >> most people are looking for VPSes and/or hosting within Australia only. >> >> I'm after a web host for a work project.
