[Alug]Alug library request: does anyone have "Learning Debian/GNU Linux"?
by Kirsten Naylor 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

Hi all We are trying to discover what has happened to an Alug library book "Learning Debian/GNU Linux" published by O'Reilly. It used to belong to Adam but he donated it to the library, and now he has not seen it in a very long time. It will be very out of date now but we would just like to know where it has got to :) Thanks /Kirsten

[Alug]Using Apt-Zip
by kpwatson＠pop3.ukfsn.org 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

Been playing around with Apt-Zip (there's a man page online at <http://debian.ipv6.fhtw-berlin.de/ger/howto/apt-zip.html>) and finding it very useful. I had to hack the output around so that I caould use FTP in batch mode via windows 2000 but that wasn't too hard (it might be a nice option to put in the apt-zip-list script). And then I neaded to hack the output again to process the .deb files (couldn't get apt-zip-inst to work on my system), but again that was fairly straightforward. I'll do a more detailed write-up if anyone's interested in the details. I must admit that now I've been through the process a couple of times it'd probably be just a quick to drive the whole thing directly from the cmmand line with apt-get and a couple of gawk or perl scripts. But I have a question for the Debian gurus out there :o) When I run Synaptic it lists over 80 packages as candidates for upgrade but when I run apt-get in simulate mode to list the package details it only includes 5. It says the others have been 'held back'. Now IIRC this is because upgrading these would involve installing or removing othe packages. Is this correct? If so, is there any way I can override this so the package is included in the list of packages to be upgraded (plus any dependancies). This is so I can use apt-get-zip to download then elsewhere and then do the upgrade offline.

[Alug]Development Web Server Recommendation?
by kpwatson＠pop3.ukfsn.org 11 Oct '03

11 Oct '03

I'm about to set up a web server on my home system so I can do some server side web development without having to be connected to the internet (I'm a poor dial-up only user ;o) ). Its a Debian Woody system. Haven't decided on what server side tools to use yet, initially it will be very basic. Apache looks good but is it overkill in this situation? Recommendations on suitable web server software please? Keith

[Alug]Teletext
by kpwatson＠pop3.ukfsn.org 11 Oct '03

11 Oct '03

Anyone know anything about teletext systems? Have a friend who runs a small hotel/boarding house in the west country. He has a TV in each room the can display teletext pages and they run off a common aerial feed (analogue not digital). We were kicking around the idea of him setting up his own set of teletext pages and feeding in to this set up. I've done a quick Google but it's either people trying to sell teletext services or hardware. Can't seem to find much basic info. Anyone know of some good reference sites? Anyone know what sort of software/hardware would be required (Linux based if possible)? Keith
