Spare kit (was RE:Linux in the community)

As a side issue, I'm interested in picking up a low-spec box that is a)working and b)megacheap, to serve as a firewall (running Deb). So if anyone is interested.... e-mail me! ;) No monitor, keyboard, mouse or even HD needed! (of course, if you can offer me a high end box for megacheap I don't mind! ;) Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

I must have had withdrawal symptoms, as I had to use the Mac OS for a week (although it DID play DVD's better than Ogle does). 3. Cliff Richard=Richard Stallman... maybe some sort of saintly thing? 4. Rolf Harris... beyond me! Nice guy, though (in the dream) -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

I'm jealous! I've not had a linux dream for ages. *Rolf Harris* though? And *sir* Cliff? What is your self-psychological analysis from this dream scenario, then? I went to hear Richard Stallman talk yesterday, most dynamic guy. Jen

Oh my god. I had my first linux based dream last night... <gulp> I dreamt that Rolf Harris joined ALUG and asked me to help him with his Gnome desktop (dunno why he asked ME). Also, I bumped into Richard Stallman, who was actually Cliff Richard in disguise! Oh dear oh dear oh dear! ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Mark asked me:- > What sites do you go for when the servers are not running well? ;-) That's when I go on my lunchbreak! (No, really, prospective employers, I am working hard on the problem!) Actually, I have found having a cigarette to be one of the best problem solving techniques- sometimes you just get too caught up in a problem to see an alternative approach. Swearing profusely also seems to help. Luckily the servers I administer have uptimes of 6-9 months, not counting flood, fire, and other acts of "workmen". My stock question to most server problem calls off-site is "did you have workmen working in the office yesterday?". They put up a shelf in one room, they manage to get sawdust in the server in another? How? I don't know. "Act of Workmen"! Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

> http://bbspot.com/News/2002/03/vatican.html Nice site- I especially liked the article on "Linux Delayed by Microsoft's Army of Evil Monkeys"- http://bbspot.com/News/2000/5/MS_Linux_delay.html I think I encountered some of those Evil Monkeys on a Learning Tree training course (company paid for it, not me, thank god)! (And they were armed with AMD Moron processors! http://bbspot.com/news/2000/5/amd_moron.html ) Ricardo, Glad that he's found YET another spoof news site for when the servers are running A-OK -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

truth is stranger...

Isn't it amazing just what people want out of computers? Any sys admin or tech support person will know this. Today, a user asked me if I could change the default background colour of e-mails in Lotus Notes to GREEN, and the text to PEACH, because she can't read BLACK and WHITE. I can't ever imagine being able to take enough LSD to make peach on green seem more readable than black and white. Sometimes being a sysadmin is like babysitting several hundred children. There's nowt queer as folk. -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze
