If I get another copy of that email, I'm off on a rampaging killing spree, so you may want to steer clear of Sandringham tonight :-) James Green <jg(a)linux.com> writes: > Not wanting to take away the seriousness of this subject, but I do > wonder > a) how they obtained my email address and Website scouring, I guess, but seeing as I got it, maybe mail.linux.com can be persuaded to give out its email list subscribers. > b) whether they are sending it out to every email address they can find.

Gentus Linux
by John Woodard 05 Jul '00

05 Jul '00

Those of you who were at the last meet at Syleham will recall the difficulty I had getting Linux to install with my Abit BE6 motherboard's ATA66 IDE controller. Gentus Linux http://www.gentus.com/ seems to be an answer to this problem, a Red Hat based distro from the makers of the offending motherboard specifically targeted at the ATA66 IDE controller problem. I'm downloading it at the moment 675Mb over 56k modem link! So anybody trying to give me a voice call expect an answer sometime after Euro 2004. :-) Cheers, BJ

Hi, With regards to the ongoing discussion of the anglian.lug.org.uk web site, would there be any objections if I moved the site (and DNS) onto my own server which can then be updated as and when either by myself or anybody that wants to add anything? I need to start filling up my lonely 17Gb hard drive with something! ;) Regards, Martyn
