I don't think that this implementation would help at all, and would be more of a hinderence, and make people more annoyed with having to confirm each email reply, then just delete spam email as it is received. - Scott -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

PHP has it's own gettext module which it needs to load (like it has a mysql module and so on...) I'd imagine your system is in one of the two states: * It has PHP and the gettext module installed, but it is commented out in php.ini. To fix, uncomment a line in php.ini that looks like: extension=php_gettext.dll * You don't have the gettext module installed, which in this case, you should use your package manager and install a module named similar to php-gettext. After each step, it should then be fixed by restarting the apache process. - Scott -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

As mentioned by the others, Technocity above the capitol threatre is quite good for lots of computer stores in one place tho, but they all seem to be about the same price on alot of things.

At the AGM last month, it was brought up the idea of not having installfests as such, but instead 'deckfests' [1], where people's computers are decked out with great open source software (or operating system if they need it) seeming how Linux is really becoming easy to install these days. It was Lindsay's idea, so I imagine he has more of an idea on the exact running. [1] Well, it was either Deck or Desk.
