Re: [PLUG] Problem Wireless USB Device in OpenSuSe. Works in Ubuntu

I've had tons of issues w/ knetwork mgr and wireless nics. Tried it out in opensuse gnome? I just went through the same slog in kde opensuse and kde fedora w/ no luck, but gnome's networkmgr worked like a charm. -- Sent from my Palm Pre On Jun 28, 2010 8:29 AM, Keith wro

This is true, and something to plan for. It's also why lots of merchants are switching to zero dollar auth checks, though this also comes w/ headaches, as not all card issuers support it, and may decline zero dollar auths even if funds are available. -- Sent from my Palm Pre On Aug 18, 2010 1

I'll add my vote for the RT-N66U; I've had one for a bit over a year now, and it's been pretty solid. The stock firmware's nice, but I ended up putting beta dd-wrt on it (my wife diagnosed me with chronic fiddler syndrome...), which also works quite well. On Fri, Jul 31, 2015 at 7:12 PM John Bartl

I'll echo the endorsement for CentOS 7. It's reasonably new enough to offer new-ish packages for desktop use, while also being the "gold standard" for stability and long term support (EOL in June 2024). Add in EPEL and elrepo for "extras", and you've got a pretty solid system that you won't have to

I suspect this is due to a "reject_unknown_sender_domain" instruction in the smtpd_recipient_restrictions clause. As long as your whitelist check comes first, you can skip the requirement. Assuming it fits the facts, maybe try something like: check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_access
