how to make pdf files?
by jo＠yee-ha.demon.co.uk 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

Hello List, Anyone out there creating PDF files with Linux? If so, with what software? Basically I have a bunch of stuff to scan and convert into PDF and jpg files. Jpg is easy but I'm not so sure about PDF.... Thanks, Jo -- <>-- jo mitchell --------icq#104771112 ----------<> jo(a)yee-ha.demon.co.uk | http://futurshox.net Linux-powered! | mobile: +44 7974 219809 <>-----------------------------------------------<>

SCA-2 to 68pin converters.
by Ricardo Campos 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

OK clever peeps, I'm tearing my hair out at the mo. I have an 80 pin LVD SCSI HD and a pci LVD SCSI card that has 68 pin and 50 pin interfaces. I have a 68pin terminated cable. I know you can get 80 pin to 68 pin converters, but it seems to have female connectors on both sides. Does this mean I'll need an 80 pin male-to-male connector? i.e. is it actually possible to put an 80 pin SCA-2 HD in a normal pc? -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

So not sure if there would be any suitable converters for attaching to 68pin cable. We always had to send them back to the supplier as the salesman who sold it didn't know the difference.

Re: [Alug] Install day @ Syleham May 19th booked

>Ok. We need posters, and people to volunteer to poster places. A press >release, and people to fax them. Also, leaflets on nux for people >to pick up at Syleham? Poster progress: the guy I emailed at the LinuxInstallDay site sent me a message saying he had forwarded my request for a template poster to their poster guy who would get back to me. I'll fill in our info when it arrives and post it to the site somewhere when done, and people can print off as many as they feel inclined and stick them around UEA, newsagents, or whatever. Jen.

I have booked Syleham Village Hall for the install day on May 19th, someone has kindly already set up a page on our wiki http://www.alug.org.uk/contrib/?May%2019th more details to follow. Do we want the bar opened up? Since nobody has told me otherwise while I have been writing this post I'll take that as a yes then. :-) Let's really get this one promoted! -- Cheers, BJ

Mail MTA and mySQL
by Simon 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

Hi everyone, Recommendation time...... I'm trying to find the best MTA to meet my requirements,and these are... 1. mySQL integration, alias, virtual users, security, authentication, local domains (maybe even the mailboxes themselves) 2. Easy administration, in relation to Sendmail, with web based admin as standard. 3. Spam controls. 4. AV integration.. I realise that there is a way to do this on just about every MTA, but I'm looking for one that can be recommended, ease of use, installation and configuration... The main thing is the mySQL integration, I've been looking at it with Sendmail and although it's possible, it looks a nightmare. and to top things off I've got to do this on a live system!!! BUT... I'm building a new server soon and want to get an action plan and application list together before I start (will also give me some time to RTFM).. tia Simon

No, I don't think so. I can't find a venue soon enough (hey, any luck asking the College?), so it's off to Elmswell again. If you want a lift from KL area, email me.
