Re: [ubuntu-uk] Release Party for Gutsy?
Good call. I've entered details for a proposed BREAKFAST (near) Gatwick party. In my life, morning meetings match a freer diary than evening ones :-) Even if only 5-10 people come, it strikes me as a good PR stunt to be able to say that "there are launch parties around the UK throughout the day, starting at 8:00 at Gatwick, with big evening parties in London and Birmingham"... ... the point of these parties is, presumably, to be able to get out press releases IN ADVANCE so that (at least local) papers will pick up, and mention the new release - thus hitting markets that we wouldn't have done otherwise.

The best thing to do is get an unused PC and install dansguardian and squid/tinyproxy on it then point the client machines at this PC for content filtering. If you don't, you'll end up administering lots of instances of the software thus increasing workload and margin for error.

I'm happy to help you out if you get stuck. Actually just chucking it in and getting it going isn't too hard to be honest. Just grab danguardian and squid and configure using the supplied configuration files. Open /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf Find the line that says "UNCONFIGURED" Comment it out by appending a "#" to the beginning of the line. If memory serves me correctly, squid arrives ready to go, but the config file is over at /etc/squid/squid.conf Squid should be listening on port 3128 and dansguardian on 8080 - point your browser at yourproxy:3128 for unfiltered and yourproxy:8080 for filtered internet access. Other things you might want to look at are a) configuring the actual content filtering level b) stopping squid from creating a log file (it doesn't need to, because dansguardian does) c) setting squid up to cache commonly accessed content to reduce bandwidth. Other stuff might come to me later. If you have any particular questions, I'll have a gander at the installation at work Cheers Chris -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Thanks Rob does local box mean the 'modem router' or a specific PC set up as something? I am not clear about what is the 'proxy port' (sorry). Is this the port to a proxy server or from it? As I understand things (and expect) the PCs will not really have a formal arrangement apart from being connected to the same LAN. One or more might be in use and I will not often be present at all. A main office PC will also be using the LAN, and will most likely be on always, however it is not linux and (for non technical reasons) I would prefer to leave that unmodified. Initially at least I would like to imagine that something (dans guardian?) could be installed onto each PC and be self contained in that machine. Does that mean that a proxy server (?) needs to be installed into each PC? or what? If this concept is valid it would be like a single home PC and router, at each PC. Maybe not elegant, but could it work? I suppose in time it might be practical to be more formal and take all PCs from one machine which is guarding the LAN, is that the usual SME or school technique? tia -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

I would have suggested SME Server from www.contribs.org as it has Dans Guardian built in (plus Samba file sharing, Clam Anti-Virus scanning, IMAP Mail server). Otherwise from what I remember I managed to install a local copy of Dans Guardian on Ubuntu. Just requires you to set the proxy server on Firefox to the proxy port on the local box. IIRC you should be able to use localhost:3128 on a machine with Dans Guardian installed on it. Another thing you might want to consider if you haven't already deployed the PCs is to have a look at LTSP.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Re-installs - How do exp users do it?
Re. APTonCD, it actually creates a repository on the disc that can be used through Synaptic or any APT interface. It doesn't *just* copy the files over. As for using tar to pack your home folder, and extract again after the installation, having /home on a seperate partition is easy enough (there are even guides on the web, but I don't have web access atm) and eliminates the need for tar and plenty of free space. For someone who reinstalls every release (and once 6 times in one day) it really is great. Matthew.

Nothing that springs to mind unfortunately. It's been so long since I did it that way that I can't remember anything in particular. Of course that could mean that these days apps have a lot more 'old version config' stability built in and are tested to ensure that if they see an initialised config that they didnt create to parse it and convert things accordingly. There have been many times (again can't remember specifically which progs) where I have moved ~/. config files/folders back in place then on first run of the program it overwrites it with a new config file. I would just recommend after a new install to start the program first, close it and then copy the config over. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
