Hi guys, Anyone know how, via .htaccess in htdocs/, to make *all* web requests return a specified document instead? I'm thinking of the occassions when I take a website (LNC) down to play with it and I want everyone to see a message in a file elsewhere, like htdocs/placeholder.html instead.

Stupid X question

Hi, How do I configure X so that I can run software on a remote machine (eg cpca7) and view it on my linux machine? I realise that this is probably easy to fix, but I can't remember how to do it!

Anyone know any useful online guides to setting up a linux box to run on an NT network and act as a mail server? The more idiot proof the better Justin

Surftime
by Green J M K 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

Looks like BT may finally be getting the message: http://www.zdnet.co.uk/news/2000/6/ns-13373.html Question is, if BT could lower the Surftime price from 35GBP/month to compete with SurfUnlimited's 9.99GBP/month server (conditions apply), just how much profit did BT think they could make? Anyone know when Often are due to make their announcement about Surftime? Debian upgrades just become a little more realistic :-) James.

Did anyone else see The Money Program on BBC 2 last night?
by Adam Bower 15 Feb '00

15 Feb '00

If so what did you think? Didn't it sound as though some very devoted Linux guys took over the editing of the program? For those who didn't see it, well unfortunately it doesn't seem to look as though it will be repeated. But the article was around 20mins long and made comparisons between Linux and NT. They featured Powys council who have deployed Linux boxen as dial on demand routers/mail servers for their local community's drop in centre type things, and saying that they chose Linux as it's cheaper than NT and easier to support. They had interviews with Linus and they featured Linux Expo in New York (I think it was the one but it may of been some other Linux show in the States) They made a comparison between the cost of MS Office and StarOffice. They said about how IBM supports Linux, they featured Oracle, they had lots of other things I can't remember, But best of all they seemed to be saying that Win2K is a bit pants and that maybe you should consider Linux solutions instead of deploying expensive MS solutions. It was really cool it seemed as though they were trying to put a bit of a spoiler on the launch of Win2K and this was on British TV! It just goes to show how Linux support & advocacy has grown in the past year. If anyone does find that it will be repeated (maybe on News 24?) then let me know as I would like to see it again.
