I hereby delurk, and notify you all of my capabilities: Nearly competent with Redhat/Mandrake Pure of knowledge of every other Linux distro Demon of programming; Perl, PHP, C, C++, Java, blah blah.

More to the point, I'm studying CompSci at UEA and therefore know the place pretty well. If you want to know stuff about the venue, I can probably help.

If I ever turn up to IRC, it will be as 'lxs' or possibly 'nuyen'.

POTD (problem of the day): how the mail system works. There seems to be a lot of different options, which makes everything very confusing for a student of little brain. Mandrake automatically runs postfix, which would be fine, except I don't know what I need to set where so that it's magic happens. Eg what should I call my localhost.localdomain, since I connect via PPP?

Incidentally, POYday was that when I dial with kppp, I get a message saying interface ppp0 not defined. But web works, so I +/- decided not to push my luck.

POTDBT (anyone get it?) was installing X402/3 so I can get hardware OpenGL. Considering giving up totally as every time I try xdm/kdm get f*d.

Help with any of the above gratefully received.
