"keyring camera"
by Ted.Harding＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hi Folks, Does anyone either have (and be willing to sell for a reasonable price), or know where in the Norwich/ K.Lynn/Ely/Cambridge/BSE area one could buy, one of those little "keyring" style digital cameras (e.g. Phillips 007, but not necessarily)? Flash not required, but reasonably decent photo quality is desirable. The usual shops, even specialist digitial photo shops, don't seem to have such things at the moment, but maybe I'm not searching web sites efficiently. With thanks, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding(a)nessie.mcc.ac.uk> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 02-Mar-06 Time: 16:32:22 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------

Charity Webhosting
by Tony 01 Mar '06

Can anyone recommend a reliable host for a local registered charity (based in Suffolk). I'm looking for Linux hosting with PHP and MySQL. I don't expect a lot of bandwidth use initially - their previous website had hardly any hits but hopefully with some fresh ideas, useage will increase. They are reforming with a new name so domain name (.co.uk) required. They are a charity that provide support to the voluntary and community sector throughout Mid Suffolk and serve other charities. They are quite happy for the hosts logo to be displayed on the site (provided it is not too overpowering!). Chances are that follow up business will follow from other charities so would be interested in details of what the host can offer on a commercial basis in respect of business introduced from other charities (and non charities). Main thing I am looking for is reliablility with very little down time. Also daily backups would be good as the site will be dynamically produced. Thanks Tony

Will Gnome look really old and outdated to > users coming from Windows ? well, I think Gnome, KDE, et.al. are already streets ahead when it comes to theming the UI anyway. Whenever I have non-linux aware friends/family looking over my shoulder when I'm using my system they nearly always remark on how great my "Windows" theme looks.

Do any of you have much experience in editing the php.ini file? I compiled php without the mysql option, and although the phpinfo function and other basic functions work, for some reason I can't connect to mysql from php. I am able to connect to mysql directly; and it appears to function normally otherwise. Cheers, Dave.

Cant enable DMA
by Ben Whyte 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

Hi guys Appreciate all the assistance that anyone can provide. I have an ABIT IG-80 motherboard, which uses an intel 915 chipset. When I do an hdparm -t -T /dev/hda I get the following result /dev/hda: Timing cached reads: 3928 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1963.32 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 8 MB in 3.32 seconds = 2.41 MB/sec Now the drive is a 200gb, pata drive and when I try and activate DMA using hdparm -d1 /dev/hda it comes back with /dev/hda: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) I am using the defualt debian kernel 2.6.15. Any ideas as to why it wont let me activate DMA ? Ben
