First suggestion: don't expect it to work in the same way as Windows. You have many many more options of what software to use, some of which will effect the basic appearance and behaviour of the system. So, what Linux would people suggest? Is Mandrake still the general recommendation for people starting off? Or is Debian now ready for the beginner, either on its own or via Progeny? -- MJR

Linux Expo, Wednesday, Where and when are we meeting?
by Steve Fosdick 03 Jul '01

There was apparently an agreement reached on IRC tonight as to a place and time within the exhibition where alug members would meet to compare freebies etc. M J Ray asked if someone would post the details to the alug-announce mailing list, but I think by then anyone who had been party to the discussion has left IRC. If you were party to the discussion and rememeber what time and place was agreed could you please post a message to the alug-announce mailing list with the place and time concerned. Steve.

firewall messages
by Joss Winn 02 Jul '01

Hello, Recently, I have upgraded my SuSE firewall and have been noticing these messages (below) in my xconsole. I am on a 56k dial-up offering no services and all ports are closed (except for one which is open to localhost), so I feel pretty secure and all 'on-line applications' I use seem to be working fine, so I am curious as to what this means. I use a 2.4.2 kernel and iptables firewall. Any ideas? The src IP changes sometimes, but often is the same or similar. Jul 3 00:27:04 linux kernel: SuSE-FW-DROP-DEFAULTIN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=66.9.192.39 DST=211.2.96.188 LEN=60 TO Jul 3 00:27:07 linux kernel: SuSE-FW-DROP-DEFAULTIN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=66.9.192.39 DST=211.2.96.188 LEN=60 TO Jul 3 00:30:41 linux kernel: SuSE-FW-DROP-DEFAULTIN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=203.239.87.52 DST=211.2.96.188 LEN=60 Jul 3 00:38:07 linux kernel: SuSE-FW-DROP-DEFAULTIN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=211.104.247.142 DST=211.2.96.188 LEN=6 Jul 3 00:38:11 linux kernel: SuSE-FW-DROP-DEFAULTIN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=211.104.247.142 DST=211.2.96.188 LEN=6 Jul 3 00:38:17 linux kernel: SuSE-FW-DROP-DEFAULTIN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=211.104.247.142 DST=211.2.96.188 LEN=6 (the messages extended wider than this but my screen space limited the amount I could copy and paste) thanks for any advice, Joss p.s. anyone need a tenant in Norwich starting sometime in September? :-) -- http://www.josswinn.org

re: ALUG PHP mutterings

If you d/l the PHP manual, in 'install.apache.html' there seem to be some quite good instructions. You're trying to make mod_php, then load it using /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Alternatively, Mandrake 8 comes with PHP precompiled and ready to run (inc. GD and PgSQL support, if/when you want them). Highly recommended, and if someone has been tempting you to Debian with apt-get, I suggest you have a look for rpm-get. It has plenty of rough edges, but I got it working well enough. The 'no acceptable cc path found in $PATH' bit sounds quite dire, to me. CC is short for C compiler, which is usually fulfilled by GCC (GNU CC). Try 'which gcc' and if it comes up blank, use 'find /usr -name gcc' to find it then add appropriate directory to your PATH (IE in /etc/bashrc or .bashrc). If you can't find gcc at all, you're either on a proprietary UNIX (ie AIX) in which case you should 'find' for cc or you need to get it. Of course, it may mean something completely different by 'cc', but I remember being thrown by 'cc' meaning 'gcc' before. If you do get PHP working and need questions answered, do mail me.

I believe that scheme has a similar number, definitely below 10 I think. Anyone know how many perl has? -- MJR

Here's my working stable system's sources.list... see what it does for you: deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib deb ftp://ftp.plig.org/pub/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.plig.org/pub/debian/non-US stable/non-US main contrib deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main Add those (or maybe unstable or testing instead of stable, depending how adventurous you feel) and then do apt-get clean apt-get update apt-get upgrade and it should bring your system up to date. You can leave the "cdrom" line in there if you want and it'll only download off the net where newer versions are found. -- MJR
