The Linux Delhi Hall Of Shame: Resurrected
by Kumar Appaiah 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Dear Linuxers, I am working on resurrecting the erstwhile Linux Delhi Hall Of Shame, which lists a set of (typically Indian or useful to Indian) websites which are not standards compliant, in the sense that they are designed to work with specific proprietary software applications or operating systems. Full details of criteria and current list of sites in the Hall of Shame are available here: http://wiki.linux-delhi.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/HallOfShame I would request you to familiarize yourself with the criteria which warrant additions to the list, and add relevant sites to the list as well. If you do not want to edit the Wiki yourself, please mail me and I shall add the site to the Wiki. I appreciate your comments and suggestions. Please help in making this effort a success. Thanks are due to Raj "Raju" Mathur of Linux Delhi for his advice in helping me get this done. Thank you. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah, 458, Jamuna Hostel, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai - 600 036

doubt with mutt/fetchmail
by Pradnyesh Sawant 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Hello, I'm using fetchmail+procmail+mutt with pop3 for my gmail accounts. I'm also not deleting messages that are being downloaded from gmail. However, is there any way to sync up my local image and the one on gmail? I mean, if I read/delete a message on my local box, then the corresponding message should also be read/deleted on gmail. I know that imap is a better alternative for that; however, before I start using imap, I have the following doubts: 1. can I d'load the mails permanently so that they may be accessible offline too? 2. I think I can do the above if I use mutt directly with imap instead of going through fetchmail, but then how do I filter messages (how do I use procmail in this setup) 3. even if I use mutt directly, will mutt sync back with gmail? I know that one can use thunderbird/kmail to do this kind of stuff. my query is how does one do this using fetchmail+procmail+mutt? Thanks... -- warm regards, Pradnyesh Sawant -- Work expands so as to fill the time available for it's completion. --Parkinson's law

Viruses Anyone?
by Rony 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hello All, In Linux, I am trying to download InfraRecorder from sourceforge, a libre CD/DVD writer for different platforms. The file I want is an exe for the windows platform. However, when I directly save it to a mounted vfat partition, it is saved as abcd.exe.bin The .bin is added automatically so it cannot be double clicked and run. When I save it to a linux partition, it is saved as abcd.exe During the day, I was working on a windows machine in a user's office and when I selected a particular software for download, immediately the system rebooted and the virus infection being deep, had to be finally removed with a clean install. At the end of the day I selected another file for download from download dot com, and just as I clicked on the download link, it went into reboot. It was the same infection, but this time I shut down the internet before it booted up again and could restore the system to an earlier date. I want to know if all these things are connected and is there some major infection going around? Sourceforge could be using Linux servers, but I feel too scared to download anything for a week or two for windows, even if it is libre software. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There?

FOSS is definetly better. some minor quibbles: Foss History pg 14 Commercial distributions: include support. Sources are free but usually not binaries. Both source and binaries are distributable. However distros obtained without payment to the original company / franchises cannot avail of support. So the sentence should be removed as the clarifications will be complicated. And the first sentence should be rewritten as Include paid support. -- Rgds JTD
