Re: [SLUG] linux distribution which one????
Hi, Further to Doms post, I recently bought a copy of Suse 10.0 and I was impressed. It installed without a hitch on my laptop and almost everything works - except for sound. The other thing a like about it is it comes with an Install DVD, so you don't have to shuffle through lots of CD's if you have a DVD player. Cheers, - Guy. At 02:29 PM 5/12/2005 +1100, you wrote: Yosep, SuSe 10 is a complete package, and can be bought from everything linux (www.elx.com.au). It contains a multitude of software, and YaST is one of the best installers in Linux by far. It is designed for the beginner to advanced. It has a large community behind it, and the SuSe box comes with support if you are stuck installing it into your desktop. It has received excellent reviews by peers in the Linux World. Comes with many of the goodies you get used to having in Windows, that in some distros you have to load up, eg Java, flash amongst others. On load up it gives you the choice of KDE or GNOME.

Re: [SLUG] Slow Mailserver after ADSL connection
Hi Richard, Sounds like a DNS problem to me. Check this by pinging by name and also by address from the console of the Linux box. Also did you set up a default route to the ADSL router? I hope this helps. Cheers, - Guy. At 11:26 AM 8/10/2004 +1000, you wrote: Hello All I have a customer with a network of 20 WinXP PC's and a WinNT Server. I set them up a Redhat box about a year ago as a mail server. The box had a modem hanging off it that dialled each morning and was connected all day to give them internet connectivity. I run getmail to pick up their mail from the ISP and to sort it into the various mailboxes and I use postfix to take care of outgoing mail. I had a simple script set up to take care of NAT and firewall rules to allow the PC's to see the internet if they wanted WEB access. All this ran fine for about a year until they got ADSL installed and did away with the dial up access. What has been done is that the script has been removed, along with everything to do with the dial up modem. The ADSL router is now taking care of the NAT and the PC's all see the internet no worries. I changed the static IP address of this box from192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.5 and have the ADSL router as 192.168.0.1. I changed the nameservers in resolv.conf to reflect the new servers at the new ISP. I also made changes to postfix and getmail so that they deal with the new mail servers at the new ISP. What I now find is that this box is very slow responding to telnet logins from any PC on the network and mail pickup is now very slow. It used to be very fast logging into this box via telnet and also very fast picking up email, now it takes about 8-10 seconds to get a login prompt or for mail to be picked up. I have similar setups with a number of customers and they work fine. Has anyone got any ideas on what I have stuffed up with this box?

Re: [SLUG] VOIP Gateway....
Hi Scott, Asterisk is the way to go. There are two BRI cards approved and available in .au that work with Asterisk. The Fritz PCI card at around $350, or a NETjet PCI card at about half the price.

Re: [SLUG] mini-itx, 1 PCI slot ?
Hi Simon, In answers to your first question the answer is no. The mini-iTx form factor is for one PCI slot - that's why it's so small. So if you want 2 PCI you need to go to another form factor (such as Flex-ATX) or use a riser card. The problem is risers cards are designed to fit a specific case. There is no such thing as a generic riser. We have designed our own risers for our cases, but these will also not fit your case. http://www.traverse.com.au/productviewbyrange.do?range_id=3 If you wish to use a standard case and stick with mini-iTx then go for a CL motherboard, as this has one PCI plus two on-board NICs.

Re: [SLUG] linux gateway
Hi, Smoothwall and IPCop are distributed as an ISO. Just burn it to a CD and boot from it. The installer will then build a complete system on your hard disk. IPCop is the GPL fork of SmoothWall. The split occurred last year when the discontinuation of SmoothWall GPL was announced. Strangely enough after the fork SmoothWall did a backflip and the GPL still exists, however several developers and many users left to join the IPCop project. IMHO IPCop has some distinct advantages over SmoothWall. Cheers, - Guy.

I'm thinking I'll buy red hat 8 personal to get the full latest beast and a graphical interface. My budget doesn't stretch to a server version however. My question is I have a Celeron 466 Dell machine with 512MB RAM and a 3GB HDD. Will this do the job or do I need to go Pentium ? And will red hat 8 personal have everything I need to do the job ? I was Unix savvy once and it's slowly coming back but I want something that's set and forget and robust. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- Guy Ellis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Traverse Technologies ABN 98 078 657 324 652 Smith St., Clifton Hill, Victoria, 3068 AUSTRALIA http://www.traverse.com.au Tel (+613) 9486 7775 Fax (+613) 9482 7754 Mobile 0419 398 234 -- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] Weird ADSL Connection Problem
Hi Theo, I can reproduce the exact same problem with one of our PCI ADSL modems and PPPoE, so it may well be a Roaring Penguin issue. Once LCP has timed out, the only way to recover is a reboot. I'll will investigate this further. Cheers, - Guy.

When this happens, my other computers (1 windows and 1 linux) CAN connect. So it is only the server. When this first happened (a few weeks back), the problem was solved by buying a better ethernet card, this did fix the problem, but this morning it dropped off again, and is doing the same thing. So I doubt it is the ethernet card. Cables have been checked (and different cables tried). Does anyone know why this could happen? The LAN works (SSH etc) - *only* ADSL doesn't work. It spontaneously did this while I was sleeping.

Re: [SLUG] Via Eden/Mini-ITX systems
Hi Matt, The place to buy them wholesale is BCN. www.bcntech.com.au They do have a barebones option (i.e. Case + MB), but it can't handle 2 PCI and it has more fans than Elvis so we build our own systems... http://www.traverse.com.au/products/default.asp?p=42 Cheers, - Guy.

[SLUG] ADSL Linux driver engine
Hi all, For anyone who is interested I have written a 2.4 Linux driver engine for Pulsar PCI ADSL cards, based on the Globespan Pulsar Atlas chipset. You can use the engine to compile PCI ADSL drivers for any 2.4 Linux kernel. http://adsl4linux.no-ip.org Polite feedback appreciated.
