On Friday 25 January 2002 11:23:46 pm, Ian's voice rose above the ones in my head and declared: Head to http://checkip.dyndns.org/ it will let you know what your externally visible IP is. That's what you need to point you dyndns name to, assuming that your isp allows the kinds of

If you've got an old PC laying around, you could build yourself a freesco router. I'm using an old P133 with 32 MB RAM, which is overkill. All you really need is a 486 and 8 to 16 MB RAM. I'm using just the motherboard, 2 NICs and a floppy. It can handle port forwarding, which is what you

Another Reason NOT To Use Windows

vi and formatting

2002-01-26 Thread Joel Hammer
I like vi, and it is neat to turn text documents into postscript with enscript. However, I would like to be able to format things better than just straight text with one font. Enscript understands certain embedded escapes to change fonts and other items. However, these extra characters on a line

Sharing /home Among Distros?

2002-01-26 Thread Michael Hipp
What are the problems to overcome in sharing /home among different distros? I have /home as a separate partition on Caldera 3.1 and I'd like to share it with Desktop/LX (aka Redmond Linux). And maybe Mandrake and Elx eventually. They all use KDE so that makes some things easier. One problem:
