Mandrake giveaway
by Malcolm Locke 22 Aug '02

22 Aug '02

I noticed the following being thrown out of the office adjacent to ours and, whilst I don't have use for them myself, figured I could find a worthy home for them. All are boxed and un-opened, and most appear to contain manuals. 5 x ProSuite edition 8.2 (8 CD's + 1 DVD) 3 x Standard edition 8.2 (3 CD's) 2 x Standard edition 8.1 (3 CD's) 1 x ProSuite edition 8.1 (9 CD's + 1 DVD) 1 x Power pack edition 8.1 (7 CD's) 1 x Standard edition 8.0 (3 CD's) If anyone would like to collect these from me near Sudbury and distribute them at the next meeting, or if anyone can suggest another worthy cause in the region, please let me know.

Re: [Alug] UEA, Norwich on the 1st September?

Hi people, (Well I assume you're all people...) Unfortunately, Room Bookings have all gone on holiday so the Conference Office are dealing with their work. This means booking Nelson Court Common Room B (which doesn't even have net access) would cost £157 for a day. So, I'm afraid that's the 1st Sept shot in the b*ks. I'll try and get a room when term starts. Alexis -- Sometimes the blind man sees clearest. Confidence is the feeling you get before you understand the problem.

I'm using vnc on windows box to view linux screen: had to install xvncserver, then access it using "run vncviewer" from windows, entering port [ipaddress]:1 - am prompted for password then it brings up screen using blackbox. How it works is a mystery to me, as I haven't done anything to the /etc/vnc.conf file at all. Doubt this helps, as always! Jenny.

using the Xmono server
by Glen Tyler 21 Aug '02

21 Aug '02

I have a small i486 with a black and white screen. For obvious reasons I want to use the mono server in my xconfiguration, but I cannot seem to get it to work. The machine is running RH6.0 (thanks to who sent me the disc -Craig I think, but not sure), during install it always loads the SVGA server, due to the card definition (Cirrus Logic GD5422). However editing the X11 config file to remove all the screens that use the SVGA and VGA16 server result in the error - failure to connect to X server. I have Xmono installed. The reason I need the mono server is that under the lynx browser I cant see any of the links as the display is using a bpp depth of 8. any ideas? by the way I managed to get the LXF slackware 8.1 disc to install on my 486 with 16MB ram - now that is a distro!

Shoot me if I'm wrong, but that one looks as if they hold your data and you access it via the internet. Thanks for the link, though. Keep them coming! I thought of writing my own but I doubt that will be happening in a hurry,as this week I appear to have the brain of an aphid. Jenny.

Was this the sort of thing you were after? GRAN PM 1.6 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93584/ GRAN PM is Web-based project management software, which includes a task management system, bug tracking software, and employee timesheet tracking. It makes it easy to identify program bugs and enhancements, identify important items that need to be brought to the attention of management, detect resource conflicts and scheduling problems, and provide clear reports on the status of all projects and tasks.

OEone's Linux desktop experiment enters a new phase
by Keith Watson 20 Aug '02

Although it's not strictly GPL, an interesting bit of software if only because they're trying to break out of the Windows/Mac model. I'm not that sure they've succeeded. See this newsforge article: <http://newsforge.com/newsforge/02/08/11/2231241.shtml?tid=26> Keith ____________ Do not fear the arising of thoughts - only be concerned lest your awareness of them be tardy.
