Hi,
In case you're just wondering what happened, UUEAS (ie the stu.uea.ac.uk
domain) just put its new mailserver in place today. It means that
minimalist is no more, but the list is hosted on the new system. It
also means:
If you only got digest versions, you need to go to the web address that
was given in the last post and reselect that (everyone's on the normal
form to begin with, I'm afriad).
If you've been trying and failing to get off of this list, it should now
work ;-) We'd be sad …
[View More]to see you go, though.
You can do some more generally clever configuration via the list
interface.
Archives are automatic.
Things that look like list server commands or spam will be trapped.
You have to post to the list from your registered address.
You might have to reset your filters.
The service is still beta <g>
I think that's it. Here's hoping it works better than the old one!

I thought this might entertain some of you. From Issue 15 of Brave GNU
World, <URL:http://www.gnu.org/brave-gnu-world/issue-15.en.html>:
"""This part was originally triggered by an advertisement of the German
"Wirtschaftswoche" (translates to "Business Week") that spread big
posters all over the city of Hamburg, Germany stating "Every Generation
has its role models." The background picture shows stone busts of Julius
Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte and Bill Gates. If it weren't for Bill …
[View More]Gates
I would have considered this ad to be a bad joke; but as this is the
"Business Week" and Bill Gates is the richest man on earth, I must
assume they are being serious.
What does it say to declare these people role models? Julius Caesar and
Napoleon Bonaparte were might-ridden conquerors and egomaniacs whose
wars caused suffering for hundreds of thousands of people - even if
their own population might have seen a slight advantage for a short
amount of time. At some point both of them lost contact with reality and
deemed themselves almighty. Caeser declared himself dictator and was
murdered whereas Napoleon bit off more than he could chew and was
exiled. Had there been more space on this picture I guess Attila and
Ghengis Khan would also fit into this row pretty well. All of these
persons are very much historical and they certainly changed the face of
the world. But role models?"""

I need help (paid) with getting an HP Netserver to act as a shared file
area between an HP Unix box and W98 PCs. The Netserver has been loaded
with Mandrake from the recent PC Plus cover cd but then things came to a
halt!
The plan is to mount the Linux box as an NFS partition to the HPUX and
use Samba to make it visible to the W98 PCs and perform the unix to
windows ASCII end of line conversion. We are just trying to make it
easy for PC users to get at data extract files that are created on …
[View More]the
HPUX.
The customer site is in Bedford and I would like to prototype the set up
here before delivery by using another Linux box (I have Red Hat on a PC)
to represent the HPUX.
The work can be done at Diss or in Norwich. Commercial rates can be
paid to someone proficient in Samba etc.
