Hello friends, I am a IT businessman since 1997, after my graduation, I am heading a software and IT services company in Singapore. I do several freelance, projects on emerging technologies. I assit, budding business, IT, and now Linux professionals to start business in Singapore and California. I have a strong presence in these two cities for nearly 8 years. I represent several IT and Business consulting firms as Senior Consultant and Project lead and help them seek GRANTS, INVESTMENTS, JOBS, from several government agencies (in Singapore government support to local and foreign talents are quite straight forward and easy) and other sectors both in Singapore and United States. I wish to start (infact started) a Linux Solutions and Consultancy division within my existing framework in the US and Singapore, (We all can explore the structure, product and services related to the business anlayzing the strength & weeknesses) I can organize funding locally but looking for young, innovative talents, domain experts to shake hands (as I am not a TOTAL linux guru) we can design, develop and create a huge academy down the line (I am fairly a successful IT technopreneur & business man in my Career in this last 8 years). I wish to discuss this with individuals who are interested to have a one to one chat to take this project forward. Candidates looking for a JOB can work for your own company in US / Singapore. Work VISA, Company, Start up capital, connections and network is available abundant except talents in this field.

thank you for all your replies, which were really sent so very promptly. that shows the enthusiasm that linuxers have for helping each other with their problems. unfortunately, the problem wasn't solved. it is still giving the same error: emacs: error in loading shared libraries: libXaw3d.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory i think there is some problem with the shared libraries. it would be great if anyone of you could point it out, so that i could tell my sysadmin to do the needful thanks for all the co-operation and support linuxers rule!

Hi, I'm Raseel. I'm a new member. I don't see why html mails should not be allowed. I hardly thing there will be anyone who is SO new that he won't know hpow to handle the html mails. ___________________________________________________ Send your photographs to loved ones anywhere in India.

Content filtering
by Linuxers Admin 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Votes were taken on whether to block non-text messages or not. 740 subscribers. About 30 participated in the vote 18 - for 9 - against 3 - i cannot figure out what they said There was also 1 vote for Digests being MIMEd. One common request from all camps was that html mails/senders of these mails should not be blocked completely, but if possible should be converted to text and sent forward. If it is blocked, then the user should be notified about why it was blocked and how he can fix it. Admin's decision: filter content. primarily text/plain will be allowed through. signed mails will also be allowed. text/html will be converted to text/plain. Other attachments will be stripped. Messages will be dropped if there is nothing left in them after filtering (eg, someone sends html mail that has no content). -- List Admin
