Pitching Linux to corporates?
by Dinesh Joshi 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Hi list, A recent experience has left me horrified. I was recently at an Airtel relationship center. Their PoS terminal for paying bills via cash/cheques was running windoze ( Some NT variant ). To my horror the system constantly kept on popping up a message - "You have been infected by ...blah blah blah....". This message was of some vague antivirus but not the well known McAffee or Norton. If their PoS running windoze can get infected with a virus then what about the data of countless customers inside that terminal? Afterall it is connected to the internet and anybody can easily hijack it! :O [rant] I am not an Airtel customer anymore but I really wish they continue using Windoze and go out of business soon... :/ May they crash and burn in hell until eternity! >:( [/rant] Ahem...shouldn't somebody bring this to the notice of the media? I mean I can imagine the amount of negative publicity it can bring to M$ ( and not to mention Airtel hahahahaa... ). Weren't their website so insecure that anybody could easily get the itemized bills of any arbitrary customer? So this got me thinking...with the recent "awareness" of better security in the digital domain shouldn't these corporates use Linux based solutions which are inherently more secure AND stable? What is stopping the adoption of Linux?? -- Dinesh A. Joshi

RHCE certification
by A A 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

Hello all, I wonder if this is the appropriate forum to post my query. I'm Linux newbie, very much interested to learn and share about Linux. I have heard about RHCE certification being one of the hottest in 2006. Seeking advice if joining a coaching class at RH authorised centre is MANDATORY which I think charges quite a bit. I wish to know if any of you is RHCE certified but gained the training elsewhere thru a friend/ Linux expert in Mumbai at comparatively lower cost. If so, please let me know the contact person. Thanks in advance AA --------------------------------- Get your email and more, right on the new Yahoo.com

Linux compatible motherboards.
by Rony 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hello All, Whenever there have been arguments on this list about linux compatible hardware, the experts are of the opinion that they select their hardware in such a way that its compatible to linux without any extra effort. So here is a request to all the experts to provide some information on the motherboards and processors they use, that are directly compatible to linux . Could you provide a small list of motherboard models that you have been using on desktop/workstation systems running linux, for the last 6 months? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!

HSBC online services not working in Ubuntu/Firefox
by Rohit V Bhute 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

I opened an account with HSBC a few days back for my salary deposits. The online@HSBC services are not working in Ubuntu/Firefox. It requires IE 5.0+ or NS Communicator. I tried fiddling with the User Agent string (strangely, most of the IE User Agent strings I found on the net looked like Mozilla/<some stuff>) but to no avail. I've submitted a complaint form but I'm not expecting them to listen to it. Is there any way other than booting into Windows or using IE from Wine? Other than the fact that I would be using, well, IE or win32, I would lose face in front of my sister whom I berate for carrying out *her* online banking business in win32/IE :-( -- Rohit V.
