Secure Firewalling, Runlevel 0 (?!)
by James 09 Feb '02

09 Feb '02

Here is an interesting article of running firewalls with the machine "halted" (runlevel 0) for extra security <*tilt*> is a first reaction. But it _is_ an intriguing concept... Article here: http://www.samag.com/print/documentID=20294 Slashdot thread here: http://slashdot.org/articles/02/02/08/1624217.shtml?tid=172 Anyone have any personal experiences of such trickery to relate? --James

Jon: > Get the terminology right. Runlevel 0 is known as single user mode > and it is not in anyway halted. [...] 0 is halt. 1 is single-user. At least in LSB-ready systems. Much cooler is to run the firewall without an IP address, but then you need console access too. -- MJR

Music Sequencers in Linux
by Ricardo Campos 09 Feb '02

09 Feb '02

I hope someone can help me with this. I'm now on the last bits of utterly replacing Windows, and am beginning to make music again on my box. Specifically, though, I need to do this: I have some music on tape that I did years ago. It's recorded in stereo, and in fact, there are lots of stereo effects that I wish to keep. I can record it using Grecord into WAV format (my box can handle it), but I would like to mix in some other samples too. Therefore I need a sequencer that can handle LARGE wav files AND retain the stereo information, and play other samples on top (vocals)... THEN it needs to mixdown the result into wav again... Soundtracker is out, as it doesn't retain the stereo settings. I may be buying a MIDI keyboard sometime soon, so I'm looking at Jazz++. Any thoughts?

However, do remember that serial ports only allow 115kbps rather than the 128kbps that you expect on 2 ISDN lines. That's one thing to consider in choosing between external or pci. (I used to work for BT Speedway! blech! and indeed they *are* rebadged fritz cards) ;) Ricardo _______________________________________________ "There are several codes, and I know several of them." -Mr. Precise. http://www.rscampos.net Check my online diary out: http://www.rscampos.net/blog.html -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Would you like to add a link to your venue information to http://www.alug.org.uk/contrib/?AlugMeetings and possibly steal the April meeting away from me if you can arrange it? Sundays are conventional, but that might be a problem at a company? Saturdays have been suggested, so an experiment may be good. By the way, it's much nicer if you write the reply below the original and trim the previous message quote. We have a lot of people on this list and get quite enough traffic for it to be difficult enough to follow already... Thanks! -- MJR

Eric, Welcome to the group. > [...] Next on my list: Web-services and .NET (see www.go-mono.com) Let me throw a few others at people: Ruby, Scheme, XT3D, XSP, Parrot. > My first question: do you guys ever meet in Ipswich? We've been to Woodbridge and Martlesham in the past. We might be able to use Martlesham again in the future, when David's back from uni, but a venue actually in Ipswich would be easier to get to. If you have the power to arrange such a thing, let us know! -- MJR
