Dial-in and X
by Laurie Brown 11 Oct '99

11 Oct '99

Ok folks, quick question. I succeeded in making a linux box a dial-in system, and it authenticates and all that a treat. However, I want to telnet in over the dialled-in connection, and can't, and I want to use X (X-Win32) and can't. I'm sure I'm forgetting something simple, but can't think what. Clues gratefully received! Cheers, Laurie.

[Newbie question - what video card to buy?
by John Heaser 09 Oct '99

09 Oct '99

I am hoping to get to grips with Linux by using an Evesham Pentium Pro 200 PC. I have pinched the Video card to drive a second monitor on my W98 PC so have to buy a new card. Mainly for business applications but I might play the occasional game. Any suggestions for a Linux supported card please? Also any suggestions for a basic sound card and 10BaseT network card. I have Red Hat 5.2. -- Thanks John Heaser [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Provisional ALUG4
by MJ Ray 07 Oct '99

07 Oct '99

Hi all, It's all gone a bit mad here, but I've managed (finally) to book a room for ALUG4 on Sunday 24 October, from 1400->1700 (presumably heading for the bar afterwards as usual). It's only the same room as last time, but I'm hoping to prepare our external network connection in advance this time.
