blocking of websites

Hi all, the government has ordered all ISPs to block www.hinduunity.org for its explosive content against the minorities. the picture on the site's main page shows christians including the Pope and bearded mullahs stabbing what seems to be like Mother India - all because the BJP government was voted out! Hate content apart the larger question remains about the government's efforts to muzzle free speech. I have accessed the site through www.guardster.com . unfortunately anonymizer.com has turned paid. Are there any tools which I could install to help me bypass these blocks and access blocked websites? I could install these in a linux computer later. Shiv Kumar

getting graphical login in debian
by Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. 26 May '04

26 May '04

I have installed debian testing/unstable using the netinst cd image to boot into a minimal debian system and then have downloaded and installed X and KDE. The problem is that I am unable to get a graphical login screen. The bootup messages say that kdm has been started but but I still get the text login prompt. On shutdown kdm is shown as not being shut down as it is not running. I can manually run kdm by /etc/init.d/kdm start. I have removed xdm and installed kdm. I did a dpkg-reconfigure kdm. To no avail. Kdm is set as default display manager in /etc/X11/deault-display-manager. I have the initdefault set to 2 in /etc/inittab. Changing this to 3 or 5 does not help. I have looked at the logs in /var/log/Xfree86.0.log but couldn't find anything. What am I missing ? regards, Sharukh -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. Homoeopath, Linuxer.
