It's written in a rather amateurish way. Particularly in regards to how it flushes iptables rules without even warning the user.

[Alug]A warning !! (not Linux related)
by Wayne Stallwood 25 Jul '03

25 Jul '03

Not Linux or ALUG related, but a warning neverless. If you are offered the following equipment please contact myself or Suffolk Police directly. A financial reward will be offered for the recovery of this equipment and/or information resulting of the successful arrest and prosecution of the individual/s involved. The equipment in question is as following HP NX9005 Laptop (with or without Targus Carrying case) Serial numbers as follows (even if scrubbed off these can be found internally/in the packaging/in the documentation and possibly I think in the Bios settings page.) CNF 3251PL3 CNF 3251PLG CNF 3251PKT CNF 3251PP2 This equipment was obtained from myself in what is appearing to be an act of Forgery, Deception and Fraud. This is a matter the CID are now looking into so I am unable to comment too much regarding the details of this. But please if you (or anyone you know) are offered these laptops let me know. Sorry to post such a somber non Linux related message to the list, but I figure as Computer Folk you may come across these laptops being sold off. Regards Wayne

[Alug]LinITX

Does anybody know anything about Stowmarket based Linitx.com? A Linux company that does mini-ITX stuff. -- Tarquin Mills RUNG (RISC OS Users, Norfolk Group)

I ran a tivo in the states, and I can tell you that it's a wonderful gadget to have. There is a project called mythtv out there now that does all that and more now, well worth checking out: http://www.mythtv.org/ I'd like to put one of these together in a mini ITX and just use it with my LCD screen to watch telly etc on. Another really sexy way to do this is to locate a cheap dvd player that has an IDE DVD drive in it.. easier said than done perhaps.. but you take out the guts of the dvd player, hook up the ITX board inside and leave the IDE DVD drive in place, looks rather nifty. I even know of folks who've re-connected the LEDs to make everything look like a normal player! I also recall that some of these mini or micro ITX boards have a bios that will play a dvd or music cd/mp3 cd-rom right after POST if it's detected, I thought that was a very cool feature too DB

I'm happy to copy the DVDs for anybody that wants it. Cost for P&P and the DVDs only (which equates to something along the lines of 99p per DVD and 60p P&P - let's call it 2.60).

[Alug]Meeting report - Norwich sunday 20th July
by Syd Hancock 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Ten people attended the sunday afternoon meeting at RBLH in Norwich - MJR, Colin Hards, Ashley Howes, Paul Corner, Adam Bower, Kirsty Naylor, BenE, Syd Hancock, Brett Parker and James Taylor. In usual ALUG fashion the meeting was understated but constructive - Xandros was repaired, library books distributed for reading and review, donated items of equipment and CDs distributed, future meeting venues discussed (Ely is next for a pub crawl, sorry I mean speculative exploratory visit), Mark did something to his laptop which no-one understood (possibly including Mark) and home-made cakes eaten amid discussions, arguements and banter on diverse topics ranging from sourceforge eveloper management or bandwidth costs to bits falling off cars and the usual My Distro Roolz OK :-) Overall a very satisfying afternoon. ------------------------------------- Some advance notices (all will be announced separately later): 1. Next Norwich evening meeting: second thursday of August i.e 14th August at the Forum. (If anyone knows of another free suitable evening venue please let me know). 2. Next Norwich sunday meeting proposed for the last w/e in September - full details later once settled. 3. If anyone has access to room booking at UEA please contact me off-list (don't worry about having to 'organise' anything - we just need someone who can book a room :-) Syd

Has anyone encountered something like this before? It only seems to happen when posting to alug. Pine is set up to send mail direct to freeserves smtp server, so my only gueses are it's a problem with pine which coincidently has only affected alug mail, a prob with freeserve or alug's mailserver. Anyone have any ideas please? cheers, BenE --------------------------------- Love is all I bring, in me crass t-shirt 'n' ting

was in the EDP yesterday. It was edited a bit so it sounded slightly illiterate :-) They got the web address right, and spelt linux correctly, so that was a bonus...
