Re: [ubuntu-uk] OT Linux based anti virus cds
Hi I am looking into LInux based anti virus cd's and found the following site http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-av-cd.html just wondered if anyone had an experience in this area and perhaps some suggestions. I would assume cd's being read only makes them more immune from the type of virius that may try and infect a flash drive type device that are generally read / write. Basically looking for something like the system rescue cd, but for anti virus. This may benefit others here too, esp those with friends who use Windows but also complain of getting viruses. Paul I used to use ClamAV Live CD [1] which I believe is now called Opendiagnostics [2] worked pretty well, but I rarely do any of this sort of work any more so haven't had to use it but it still seems to be updated [1] https://launchpad.net/clamav-livecd [2] http://sourceforge.net/projects/opendiagnostics/ Regards, Andy -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

And why NFS performance is so poor... Which of your hubs does lsusb show as 2.0? I've just checked online and all three ports are supposed to be 2.0. I don't understand what's going on here, my lshw only shows 4 usb ports, usb0 - usb3, yours appears to show 5, 0 - 4 with the last one being ehci usb 2.0. Very odd... Also what version of Ubuntu are you running? and is it server or desktop? My EEEPC is running Lubuntu 12.04 (not really enough room for Ubuntu on the 4GB SSD, but I suppose you are OK with the server edition). Now I have got it charged up again, here is my lsusb: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0951:1606 Kingston Technology Eee PC 701 SD Card Reader [ENE UB6225] Bus 001 Device 003: ID eb1a:2761 eMPIA Technology, Inc. EeePC 701 integrated Webcam Strangely, I think I remember seeing Bus 005 as the 2.0 hub last time I looked. But the important thing is that the SD Card reader and the webcam are using the 2.0 Bus 001, so maybe all the USB ports are 2.0. When I put a USB stick in any of the USB ports, it does seem to be using Bus 001 as well.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] OT Linux based anti virus cds
Ah, it was Clamav Live CD that I used to use. Command line/curses based but very straighforward to set up and would keep its databases up to date if you were disinfecting a network-enabled machine. s/ On 29 November 2012 09:53, Andy Partington andy.parting...@gmail.comwrote: Hi I am looking into LInux based anti virus cd's and found the following site http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-av-cd.html just wondered if anyone had an experience in this area and perhaps some suggestions.

That particular one is a bit pricey for my target audience of potential new Ubuntu users. I look forward to a machine which is available in UK and also available without a Windows OS preinstalled. It is interesting to speculate about just how I will be able to confirm that a chosen machine is, in the event, 'properly implemented' Even with machines with bios, it has been onerous to determine in advance, before purchase, which hardware, particularly laptops, would work well out of the box (with Ubuntu). Fortunately, Ubuntu has achieved really good compatibility with many machines, and improving. It will be important to encourage that trend. Is anyone in close contact with Novatech enough to know if their laptops are similarly 'properly implemented'? -- alan cocks -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
