The main article on the cover in MM was about Ubuntu when feisty came out... But it never hurts for them to repeat how great it is. (I think most of the writers for it are freelance, so theyre bound to repeat themselves XD) On Jan 12, 2008 11:23 PM, Tom Bamford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I ju

[ubuntu-uk] Gutsy gets thumbs up in Micromart

I just read an article in Micro Mart mag by a self-proclaimed linux noob called Jason d'Allison. He set out to install Gutsy after hearing good things about it, and although it took him 3 weeks to secure a machine to install it on, after two weeks he was enjoying the difference and after anothe

[ubuntu-uk] new mail notification in system tray?

Apologies if this request about Thunderbird is a bit off-topic, but it should be brief if anyone has a ready answer. I've been googling around for days and can't find one. I'm running Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (installed via Ubuntuzilla) on Feisty. Is there add on or applet to provide a persistent i

Re: [ubuntu-uk] SSH question

I run all my sshd servers (on the www) on 23432. Easy to remember but not the first place the hackers look. So I think it's definitely worth doing... but if you're on a home network and have a router and need port 22 for your local access why not use the router to transform? Sean -- ubuntu-uk@l

Re: [ubuntu-uk] SSH question

I wouldn't waste time on this... as I said, just make the router expose your port 22 on your local server on another port to the internet through port forwarding. You'll need to also route whatever other ports you want (eg. port 80) but this would seem a decent solution. Then everything works and

Re: [ubuntu-uk] SSH question

Couldn't you use port forwarding on your router? So have the sshd running on port 22 but expose it to the world at large on port, say, 2000 ? Sean -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] SSH question

On a box at home, I have ssh running on a non-specific high numbered port. Is it possible to also have it (ssh) listen on port 22, but limit it to computers on the local network? The reason for asking is that I'd like to do things like synchronise my tomboy notes over ssh, but there is nowhere in
