Duplicate message delivery ? (Mailman?)
by Roshan 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

Hello List, I am receving two copies of each message. Are others too? I saw 84 unread messages in my inbox today morning, and all of them were duplicates. (Though, at first instance I was about to boast and say, "Wow! our traffic has increased, though with technical and non-technical discussions") Is this a _specific_ problem with people having Yahoo! Ids? -- FSF-India Fellow Associate http://www.gnu.org.in Send free SMS to your Friends on Mobile from your Yahoo! Messenger. Download Now! http://messenger.yahoo.com/download.php

Fedora Core & RHEL wrt brochure
by Debarshi Ray 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

The brochure at http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Linux_Brochure says: "Fedora Core is an RPM based Linux distribution, developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and sponsored by Red Hat. Its goal is to be a complete, general-purpose operating system that contains only free and open source software. It also considered to be the testing ground for future versions of Redhat Enterprise Linux." According to a Fedora Project member in December's issue of LFY, Fedora Core is the upstream of RHEL and many of the other Fedora 'based' distributions like Scientific Linux, etc.. The person was categorical about Fedora Core not being a 'beta' or 'test-bed' for RHEL. Cheers, Debarshi -- After the game the king and the pawn go into the same box. -- Italian proverb

He saved the Microsoft Tax! http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=139627 Would you do it if you get a new laptop/comp with Windows OEM pre-installed ? I didn't 'cauz, even though I primarily use Gentoo/FC , I still need to have Windows. Like it or not, most business applications are written for Windows, especially in the stock broking world.

[OT] Triband Problems - Anyone?
by Roshan 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hello List, Anyone on this list, using Triband, facing problems surfing the web? i.e. few websites open really fast, and others dont? (for e.g. mail.yahoo.co.in opens up quickly, while address.yahoo.com, or even rediff.com) Is is because of an upgrade to 2 Mbps? I have checked my speed using http://internetfrog.com/mypc/speedtest/ but it still remains 216 Kbps (download) and around 83 Kbps (Upload). -- FSF-India Fellow Associate http://www.gnu.org.in Send free SMS to your Friends on Mobile from your Yahoo!

Our technical festival is from 30th March to 1st April. I will be in Bombay from 14th January to 2nd February and perhaps I will get to have look at some of the hard copies. Our institute GLUG can take care of the distribution during the festival. Cheers, Debarshi -- After the game the king and the pawn go into the same box. -- Italian proverb
