Syd: > OK, so what is a suitable date? I like the look of the 20th. Any objections? 13th is probably too early for long holidayers (eg students)? -- MJR

Web site
by MJ Ray 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

OK, as part of my policy of announcing things about 17 years before I'll get time to do it, I'm going to make the following proposal: Proposal: - Move the ALUG web site to static core and a Wiki Background information: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki Rationale: - We're not keeping an up-to-date site - People bitch at me variously about XML and CVS - People bitched at me about Zope - People will still bitch about the Wiki, but at least we should get an up-to-date web site with no barrier to entry at all. Your options: - Idly support this move (most people) - Pledge to help maintain the wiki when it's online - Mutiny (feel free) Vote now :-) -- MJR

Simon: > Must get the heating sorted though.... May be able to get a dial-up > connection sorted this time as well. I'm quite happy to travel to Cheveley again, picking up anyone who wants to be collected from Ely or Newmarket stations (I don't think that's too much of a route detour). I would like to see us use a venue in King's Lynn in February if possible. The venue I'd been thinking of is not open at weekends, though, so if someone else in KL has a venue we can use, please mail me now ;-) -- MJR

Linux & the job market
by Ricardo Campos 10 Dec '01

10 Dec '01

I just had an interview with a recruitment agency up North, and we went over my technical skills. One thing that I found interesting was that although I have 2 years M$ experience, they talked almost exclusively about my involvement with Linux (which I casually mention on my CV in 'personal interests'). Unfortunately, with the economy taking such a nosedive, there were no jobs to offer me, but still, it's an encouraging thought. Seems there are a lot of ISP's in that area, and they want people with Linux/Unix/Solaris experience/knowledge. So, if you are a newbie like me, there's yet another reason to keep plugging away at this wonderful OS... Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Seomeone recently mentiond problems with a Debian Magazine Cover CD. Does anybody know of a recent one that I might be able to track down? Another one for some oldies out there - has anyone seen a programming tool for console that works a bit like M$ old C4 (Editor/compiler/linker/make/debugger) all in text?

AMANDA, SAMBA and win 32
by Ricardo Campos 07 Dec '01

07 Dec '01

Has anyone on-list actually used AMANDA to back up Win NT clients over a LAN? Thing is, we currently use Veritas Backup Exec, and it's dead expensive, and not backwards compatible. It needs to back up _open_ SQL databases, Lotus Notes databases, hidden shares, the lot. It *appears* that it can backup open files, but I'm not wholly convinced!Anyone with experience? This is mission-critical stuff! Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Looking for software
by Paul 07 Dec '01

07 Dec '01

Hi Folks I'm looking for a tool that I can draw a number of boxes on a canvas, enter text in the boxes and then draw a rat's nest of connecting lines between them. Easy enough so far, but I also want to be able to drag these boxes complete with text around on the screen and have any interconnecting lines "rubber band". i.e. I don't want to have to redraw the connections each time a box is moved. Does anyone know of such a program that will run under KDE or even Gnome ?? Regards, Paul.

Linux advocacy in The Register.
by Laurie Brown 07 Dec '01

07 Dec '01

I don't know how many in here read The Register, but IMO, it's compulsory reading for any professional (or serious) IT people. Anyway, this is a good article on Linux advocacy, and one I found brought me up a bit short in one respect (Too clever? Moi?). It's worth noting that although the author talks of StarOffice 5.2, the new V6 is much, much better... http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/23245.html Cheers, Laurie. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Laurie Brown laurie(a)brownowl.com PGP key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
