> and a URL to the > poster Ricardo has done (Is it accessible from the website, Ricardo?). *eep* not yet. Remind me to FTP it tonight whilst we're on IRC. Also, I think a link to the main Install Day page would be best, since it will hopefully contain a link to both the Syleham and UEA ones. I've got my smart clothes on, and am gonna take a long lunchbreak to try the computer shops on St.Benedicts, St.Augustines and Earlham Rd. in Norwich! ;) Any news on booking the UEA? -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Oh go on, then.....consider any mails with the heading "Interest in Linux install day 2002" to have been dealt with off-list by myself. I'll send them the aforementioned mail I posted, and store their names somewhere in case we want them later for interrogation, hur hur hur. Jen.

Perhaps a small email saying welcome, a URL to the install page on the website , http://www.alug.org.uk/contrib/?May%2019th and a URL to the poster Ricardo has done (Is it accessible from the website, Ricardo?). Along the lines of "Dear Interested Person, Thanks for your interest in the Anglian LUG install day! All the information you may need about what the day is for and what you can get out of it can be found on our website http://www.alug.org.uk/contrib/?May%2019th or please feel free to join the mailing list to ask any questions you may have about linux or the install day. We also have an IRC meeting on [fill in channel details here] where members of alug hang out on a Monday night adn can answer any questions you may have about what the day entails." And one person can be responsible for sending this mail to any such requests, thus avoiding bombarding the list with it many times. Jen

Linux install day....
by Simon 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Hi everyone.... Maybe I've missed something or am just plain dim (probably the latter) ..... The install day, what is supposed to happen, is it an exibition type venue where "the masses" are shown what linux can be installed on, how easy it is, setting up mail/web/news/samba and all that ? If this is the case I've got one of those monster hot swap, redundant everything IBM 4500's we can build and setup for an example of a Linux server in an enterprise environment.... I may also be able to get my hands on a Compaq DL380 with usual redunant stuff, plus a Compaq Remote Lights Out Card, which is quite funky in itself if you're interested in Out Of Band management... Or is it just a frenzy of installations without too much emphasis on anything in particluar ? Simon

I'll try and remember this - "cat" was my first ever linux command and old habits die hard! Thanks, all. Jenny.

E-Mail To /dev/null
by Matt Parker 28 Apr '02

28 Apr '02

Hi All, I get tons of spam in my mailbox, mostly from job sites who continue to send me job listings months after I found a job and I've supposedly unsubscribed from their "service". These e-mails can be anything up to 200k in size and since I'm on dial up I was looking for a better solution than just filtering and sending to trash in K-Mail since I still have to download the things currently. Is there any way I can get the mail headers first and then just trash the e-mail or do I really have to download these things? Ta, Matt
