Debian again
by Green J M K 10 Feb '00

10 Feb '00

Hey there, So I'll install Debian 2.1, then go-line and do apt get-update or whatever it is. What should I expect to get? I see GNOME 0.30 is in stable, i obviously need something newer (and stabler) than that, same with E0.14, Apache, PHP3, etc. Or do I have to wade into unstable and watch my phone bill go into outer space?

sendmail question
by Chris Glover 09 Feb '00

09 Feb '00

Hi peeps I have a sendmail problem. I have at home a network of 2 Windows PC's and an IP masquerading Linux gateway. The Linux box acts as an SMTP server for the rest of the network. This works ok excewpt, sometimes sending mail fails, as the receiving machine tries to look up gateway.glovercc.freeserve.co.uk. I know I'm being lazy here. When I do dial up with Freeserve, everything works fine, as they trap everything heading from a host to an SMTP server and process it themselves. I have recently started using ClaraNet. What I need to know, is how do I set up sendmail to caryy on receiving mail for my local network, but for any mail heading outside, to go via Claranet's SMTP server? I hope that made sense, as I'm sitting here at work at 3:15am, and it's not what I'd describe as concise :-) Any help grately appreciated.

Debian Install of Sendmail
by Green J M K 08 Feb '00

08 Feb '00

Hi there, I'm odds-on to take the plunge and install Debian (VA CD hi Gareth!) this weekend. Now I am paranoid about my mail. I was so paranoid about sendmail that rather than follow the instructions a fellow Demonite put up on the web, I instead downloaded a copy from another site for Demon. I have seen Debian installing before, asking about fetchmail, sendmail, god knows what else. That actually scared the sh*t out of me, since I've already had one install when sendmail bounced all my mail - I don't want that happening again. So, I can grab a copy of the .cf file as a backup, but what I need to know is what to say to the Debian installation to make sure mail works exactly how it does currently under RedHat 6.0. FWIW, I have a number of 'users' here accepting mail, such as 'webmaster', 'gnome', etc., all getting stored in /var/spool/mail/{user} Thanks, James Green [ 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' ]

Hello!
by Simon Best 07 Feb '00

07 Feb '00

Hello! I just thought I'd introduce myself as a new subscriber. My name is Simon. I am 28 years old. And my favourite colour is purple. Or is it brown? Anyway, I'm living in the scourge of the home counties (Essex), using a 486DX2-66 based PC with RedHat Linux 6.0 (and Windows 98). The PC was cobbled together out of bits (thrown out in my direction, bought second hand, bought new...) and is (incompletely) networked to an IBM RS/6000 250 (which is running AIX 3.2.5). Erm, right now that's all I can think of to say!

Hi guys, Especially for BJ, I thought I might as well issue a url to a draft of our front page. It's only a .jpg screenshot, but I'm canvasing for opinions... http://linuxnewbie.com/snaps/shot-2000-02-01.jpg (yes, it's dummy data) What do you guys think? -- James Green jg(a)cyberstorm.demon.co.uk Site Manager jg(a)linuxnewbie.com LinuxNewbie.com LNC http://www.cyberstorm.demon.co.uk/ [ 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' ]

Doubtful for ALUG5
by MJ Ray 06 Feb '00

06 Feb '00

Hi all, I'm afraid that the medicine that the doctor has advised me to take to try to get shot of this damn flu means that I am unable to drive while taking it. After a not entirely pleasant experience from staggering into the Uni on Thursday, I think I have to be considered as doubtful for ALUG5. Hopefully, I'll be back on track by ALUG28. Sorry about that.
