[X-Post] Reliance WiMax
by Pradeepto Bhattacharya 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi, Has anybody use the Reliance WiMax (Broadnet) services? I am more interested in their services in Mumbai. Good, Bad, Ugly? Apparently they install separate antenna for each connection. The size of this is as big as a laptop monitor or such, thats what the marketing exec told me. What I want to know is - 1) compatibility with Linux Boxes 2) does it work during the rainy season? Considering that rains in Mumbai or Panvel is slightly on the extreme side ;), does it work fine … [View More]

kmail does not accept two different passwords
by Kenneth Gonsalves 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

hi, I have two email accounts at foo.com and bar.com. They have different passwords. Receiving mail is ok - but for sending, only the password for one account is used in both - the password for the first account gets changed to that of the second account when the second account is set up. How can one overcome this without having the same password for all accounts? Or is a bug? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/

by Erach 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

Hi, Root is system user --- has various privileges. The application users are completely distinct from the root user ----- but they can share the root user group "wheel". so unless you want very high thruput why are you modifying the kernel and making it bigger. You can just send an email to the application level user, have a crontab job pick it up every 1 minute or every 1 second and forward the email on. You can even change the group of the application level user. Or once you send the … [View More]

GNU/Linux primer
by shirish 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

Hi all, I made an attempt at making a GNU/Linux primer at http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/gnulinux-primer/ To put it simply, just something which tells newbies what it is all about without getting technical. What do you guys think? Do you think I may have missed something? Do you think something could have been put up in a better way? Or you think it plain sucks. Feedback and flames all are encouraged :) -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is … [View More]

Canonical Not Great Contributor
by Swapnil Bhartiya 28 Sep '08

28 Sep '08

I just learnt from a friend of mine that I should stop using Ubuntu as Canonical is not contributing to the development of GNU/Linux systems as compared to other players. He also suggested that since most of its stuff, or nothing, is upstream so we cant trust it. Also his argument was, being run by one man, who may tomorrow change his mind and stop support to Ubuntu, then what? So, I am bringing this issue to the lista and have people's opinion as to how much Canonical has contributed and how … [View More]

A request for Ubuntu 8.04/8.04.1 CDs
by Easwar Hariharan 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

Hello List, A few meetings ago,I had mentioned my plans for holding an presentation on linux which turned into an install fest after consultation with LUG members.the present situation is that the installfest is scheduled on 3rd of October and the likely number of participants at the installfest is turning out to be potentially more than the CDs I have available,which is 28. ShipIt would take too long a time to send the CDs,therefore,list members who have an excess of Ubuntu 8.04/8.04.1 CDs,… [View More]
