none.
You can do virus scanning on a linux mailserver to help
protect M$ PCs using that mailserver.  All the usual
ones like macaffe, sophos etc.  But I don't think
that applies to your setup does it?

I think there is a free version of Panda-AV -- however, there are not
many viruses on *nix - and unless you don't backup your home dir then
unless your logged in as root they can't do much serious damage.

However, the only (commercial) AntiVirus software I know that really
supports Linux seriously (not a free beta product with no support, etc.)
is RAV AntiVirus (http://www.ravantivirus.com/) (Can also be bought at
Everything Linux).

Cheers,
Chris

[SLUG] Sound question, but not Debian. Linux Anti-virus

2003-04-03 Thread mick boda
Hi All,

Took Jeff's advice and considered my current situation ... (ie, two kids under 
3 years and self employed = read!  when?) and reinstalled redhat 8.0 which I 
can at least find my way around in.  I have Debian on another machine so that 
I can play around with that and I have found a guy in Wollongong who is 
willing to teach all that is Debian (when his first Semester Uni exams are 
over).

I have two questions I'd like to post.  The first is 

What Linux Anti-Virus are you using?

Second question relates to a weird problem in Redhat 8.0 with sound.  It works 
under gnome but not under KDE?  It's the same AC97 card that I was fooling 
with in Debian.

On a final note, I did get sound working under debian, I reinstalled debian, 
pressed F3 key, used the bf24 image ran sndconfig and listened to some mp3s.

I'll keep you posted from time to time on how I go

Regards

Mick

[SLUG] Sound question, but not Debian. Linux Anti-virus

2003-04-03 Thread Mick Boda



Hi Greeno,

I'll be there, you won't miss me, I'll the guy wearing a chicken mesh
framework (good for stopping thrown bottles, etc ... not so good at
stopping over ripened tomatoes hm.. ) and a raincoat.

My wife said I'd better go if all my fans are waiting for me, but she
wants to make sure my life insurance is paid up.  

I've just put the date into Ximian as the 25th of April, slug starts at
6:00pm from memory .. are these details right?

Thanks for the opportunity, I promise not to disappoint.

Regards

Mick
