Dear linuxers,
Needing to regularly backup my work, and having recently developed an
interest in shell commands, I wrote myself a script that backed up a
particular file; renamed the previous backup; and then unmounted the pen
drive. Fairly beginner stuff but a time-and-effort-saver.
I was wondering if I could add to this script the capability to make a
net backup-- invoke wvdial, fire up evolution; in evolution, mail to
gmail; then close evolution; then close wvdial (I use Rel. Netconnect,
so wvdial); and write me a logfile which I could check.
I'm on Ubuntu 9.04.
I'd heard that g/lin is great for automating stuff like this. Would
appreciate your help. Do tell me what additional information you would
require.
I'm sure this script will help many beginners like me.
Thanks and regards
Suhit Kelkar
Hi All,
Many times we say that email clients like Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora,
are an open source email clients
which are good replacements for MS Outlook Express and MS Outlook. But
are these really a replacement
for MS outlook? I can agree that they are a good replacement for MS
Outlook Express but not for MS Outlook.
so if they are not a replacement for MS Outlook, then which open
source clients are a good replacement for MS Outlook?

Dear GNU/Linux Users Anonymous,
Let me confess it. I am a distro junkie.
I change distros nearly every month.
I really like distro X, which I'm sending this on. Yet I'll end up
installing something else a couple of months later.
Productivity hasn't suffered, because I do writing/translation for a living,
and OpenOffice is there on anything these days, but I suppose this
installmania is a worrying symptom?
Would appreciate your advice [comments also, if witty and inoffensive].

Press Release
A delegation of seven educationists and activists from Mumbai met the
Secretary, School Education, Government of Maharashtra, Shri Sanjay
Kumar, at the Mantralaya on 2nd September at 3pm. Their aim was to
express their critique of the proposed agreement between the state
and a multinational corporation in the area of ICTs in education and
to offer an alternative based of Free and Open Source Software. The
attached representation (PDF) was submitted to him by the group, who
consisted of :
Nagarjuna G., Free Software Foundation, India
Padma Sarangapani, Tata Institute of Social Sciences
Ravi Subramaniam, Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, TIFR
J T de Souza GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai
Chandita Mukherjee, Comet Media Foundation
Sridhar Iyer, IIT Bombay and
Sahana Murthy, IIT Bombay.
During the meeting, the Secretary informed the delegation that the
State government is aware of the pitfalls of working with corporates
and is willing to consider alternatives approaches to introducing
ICTs in education on a large scale, if any group proposes them. The
Govt, he said, will work with all interested parties and will be
inclusive in their approach.
When told that in the current Maharashtra standard 8 text book, for
example, there are brand names mentioned in the text and logos shown
in the illustrations, he said that their department does not interfere
with textbook content, since that is looked after by the experts of
the Maharastra Text Book Bureau. When we suggested that it was the
Education Department's role to set policy guidelines, such as not to
carry brand names, the Secretary agreed with this in in principle.
We suggested that we can help in
(i) designing a curriculum for students that focusses on broad
concepts from ICT that help develop thinking skills, as well as
specific usage skills,
(ii) writing books that can implement this curriculum, in a
vendor-neutral manner,
(iii) designing curriculum for teachers and
iv) implementing teacher training programmes
After listening to the delegation, the Secretary asked us to submit a
proposal to contribute to the effective dissemination of ICT skills
within the school system in Maharashtra . The team agreed to do this
within two weeks and to subsequently explore possibilities of reaching
an MoU with the Government of Maharashtra. We will keep you posted as
the story develops.

We are connected in star topology with no domain controller.
All the computers are connected to workgroup.
The Mail server (Ubuntu Server 8.04LTS+Postfix) runs on vmware running on Win2k pro with bridge network configuration.
Certain computers have access to internet but when the mailsever is working we are unable to access the net . We need to shutdown the VM / computer to be able to access the net.
I did a http sniff from my 'Host' OS which was showing unusual amount of traffic been sent out by the mailserver.
I felt it was because of a bounced mail which it keeps trying to send repeatedly, so I created a local mail archiving address , but this too does not solve the problem.
All computers access the internet via a netgear router.
Before a computer crash the same mailserver image used to work fine.
Hope you can guide me on this
