Why? Because cryptography is pretty hard, but implementing a good
crypto-system that doesn't leak data, allow attackers to change fairly
arbitrary bits, to run tests against your system to recover the secret key, or
determine exactly what to change ... that stuff is hard for experts.
If no conf
You can also allow ping requests and limit the rate and packet size,
which gives you the niceties of being able to determine some level of
connectivity, whilst reducing scope for abuse.
You can rate limit by source IP address with the "recent" module. For

I find it useful putting /home on a separate partition. Then if you
totally hose your o/s, you can just reinstall and keep all your existing
data and app preferences (though of course you'll need to reinstall any
additional apps).
FWIW, I mount the other partition at /var/local, where I have hom

Is there any previewer under KDE for Microsoft Power Point documents? I know
that I can reboot and run Windows, but would prefer not to.
There is OpenOffice.org Impress, but you would prefer a KDE application?

I'm agnostic about ruby/python, although I have a faint feeling that
python may be better. In either case I have to learn the language.
Hi David, I use both python and ruby, but I prefer ruby. I find it
easier to develop code incrementally in ruby because I can extract code
into classes or mod
Anyone else who wants to mentor Ruby (or start up a competing scheme in a
different language ) is of course also welcome.
Thanks for your initiative, Matt.
I'm willing to teach Python and/or C.
