Re: [ubuntu-uk] How do I turn off viewing all windows zoomed out?

There is an option somewhere in Ubuntu that I set a while ago that means that when I move my mouse to the left side of the screen, all opens windows are shown small in a kind of grid on the screen. I can then click on a window to zoom into that one to use normally. snip That sounds like the scale plugin in Compiz. One way of changing the settings and the shortcut/mouse corner activation is to use the Compiz manager. I have it set up to do this effect on the top right corner, so I don't accidentally activate it as often.

The setup is pretty straight forward, install and configure postfix and forward all mail from root etc through the this. Php mail will then work using this default system. I have a complete setup notes, but they are at work and I can't get them until weds, if you can wait until then I can email them to you. Some of the php smtp settings are applicable to windows only, so check the php manual to save time trying to set things in php.ini that won't work on ubuntu - something I have done in the past.

I really don't like shared hosting services for much at all. It is far too easy for your service to be interrupted by activities that are outside of your control... I have heard good things about bitfolk and for just £8/m you can h ave a VPS which you will have total control over. True, but a well shared hosting package comes with support you may not get with a VPS, and usually you get tools like cPanel with shared hosting, which isn't often had on VPS... -- Kris Douglas, NODE Computer Systems Web Hosting Design, Server Administration, Technical Support Computer Construction T. 01200438449 M. 07728574285 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ I would prefer a hosting package as setting up and maintaining a vps is more time consuming than I can afford, just to host some wordpress/ joomla type sites. However it something I may consider in a year or so if I am able to get a few more clients, as it would be more economic than several seperate hosting packages Thanks Ian -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] Evolution and MS Exchange 2007
Dear All I have been using the MS Exchange plugin for evolution for about 6 months, since I began using Linux at work. However, since the organisation has changed to Exchange 2007, I have been unable to as it isn't supported. I understand the problem lies with the significant changes in the web access component in Exchange 2007 and I have tried to find out more info from the web, evolution mailing list, launchpad etc. I have tried using the webmail in Firefox which is ok, but the calendaring is quite limited (one day at a time only), and I have tried using IE in wine, the MAPI plugin for evolution etc. I don't want to sync all my information with Google, I would rather keep it in where I know where it is, so I was wondering if anyone had an tips or suggestions for getting my data from the server to my desktop/laptop!
