La solución sería que los proveedores de cuentas de este tipo mantuvieran un registro de las cuentas a las que se ha hecho forward y lo proporcionaran (a petición) al actual propietario.

Of course, since apt-get takes care of installing dependencies and upgrading the whole installed software, we were leaning towards Debian. The newbie, even though his concerns for security are limited, wouldn't have to care too much about it. So far, so good. Only a tiny problem remains. Potato is not up to date and it's apparently difficult to upgrade software unless you get patches at specialised places ( http://kde.tdyc.com for the KDE 2.x serie, for instance. ) You then must hope the patch is well done. if you want to teach new users, why do you have to be bleeding edge? We though about installing Woody, but, as you people know, the boot disquettes don't boot yet. Potato must first be installed and an upgrade made to Woody. Newbies might not appreciate... As for Woody, once again, it's going to be out... when it's ready, which might as well mean in June 2002, one year after Slack was out. that's the whole point of debian - install once and forget about the triple R syndrome - reboot, reformat and reinstall.

I must say I do not have enough experience to answer this question. What's the problem with installing fresh, if you keep your configuration files? You are comparing apples and oranges. Yes.

Apt is a really great system and all, but it doesn't really fall into the unix fundamental catagory (yet ;). I also see a lot of people talking about the larger number of packages and ease distribution upgrades in Debian, the former is actually a detriment to someone who actually wants to learn how the OS works (hand installs are a learning experience) and the latter is not a consideration for those wet behind the ears (move to something civilized later). Slackware pushes a lot less automation and forces you to actually learn to use command line utils, edit scripts and text files, and generally pick up more skills that will actually be valuable if your travels in unixland should actually take you outside of its hallowed halls (god forbid). I agree somewhat. I fumbled a recent interview question (plug: geek for hire ;-) recently over what services are required to run a Samba server. NetBIOS name server, natch. Damn Debian all to hell, but what with the packaging system I didn't know, though I've tweaked Samba on client and server side on a good dozen systems. It just works. That said, I think Debian is close enough to the Unix ideal, particularly relative to any RPM-based system I've dealt with, that it makes a good learning system. With Debian, it's very possible to go wading into config files and edit them to your heart's content (other GNU/Linux distros are notorious for their DON'T EDIT THIS FILE admonishments). Slack's probably going to put you closer to the iron, what I like about Debian is that you largely have a choice. Let the system handle it for you, largely transparently, and largely functionally, or take matters into your own hands. Another aspect of Debian helpful for the newbie-who-wants-to-learn is that it's easy to get a working, minimal, base system, then craft together a more complex system over time by adding packages. It's sort of like triptronic shifting: you decide when to pull the lever, but the system manages the throttle and the clutch for the cleanest, fasted, smoothest possible shift (note: I drive stick). So there's a high level of engagement with the process, but there's also a support net. I'll note I got my own chops on Unix systems dating back to 1987 (well, the late '70s if you want to be accurate), Red Hat, then Debian, touching a whole lot of other stuff along the way. -- Karsten M.

There are no base.tgz's for woody boot floppies. Some simple checks in
the boot-floppies docs could have told them that. The reason is we don't
need them anymore. The system is installed completely from network or

do boot. Think about it, why would we upload a set of boot disks that

Because 'apt-get update' doesn't update dpkg's available file: they

kernel headers for 2.219pre17
Hello everyone - I am new to Debian - used to use Caldera OL 2.3 but I am not super proficient in Linux. I am trying to install ALSA and it wants to use the kernel headers from 2.2.19pre17... I have tried: a)kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17-idepci b)kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17-compact c)kernel-headers-2.2.19 and have not had any luck... at best everything makes and installs for alsa and as soon as i insmod snd-card- or modprobe it ... it isnt there. Everything gets installed in /lib/modules/2.2.19... because it is getting its install dir path from the headers... Have you guys heard of this? I cant find a similar situation on the alsa pages... I find the same problem of people looking for the vanilla 2.2.19pre17 kernel headers but no solutions posted... Should I try to install the 2.2.19 kernel? If it is easier all around (not just with alsa) to get support for kernel 2.2.19 I will try to make that (never played with kernel before).

Re: Question about the GPL
I'm a GPL advocate, but I work for a company who doesn't feel quite the same way as me. I recently edited WinVNC (yes I know it's windows, but I couldn't find a GPL mailing list). This edited WinVNC was meant to be absolutely invisible to the user of the workstation. There is no information that it ever used to be VNC or what it does (unless these elementary school teachers know a lot more about computers than what we think :) Here's the question: we are keeping this edited version of VNC completely within our local network. Do we have to include or say, like a pop up, that it ever was VNC and/or GPL info? To be certain, you'd really have to read through the text of the GPL as distributed with VNC. As a general rule, you should always read the license as it comes with the software, just in case there are any special provisos (e.g. a clause requiring credit). It should be pretty clear on these points. My guess is that you are probably safe, especially since you are not redistributing the software. -- Geoffrey M.

If you are anything like me, you've spent countless hours writing content, finding or creating graphics, cursing at tables, juggling lists and learning HTML and possibly even CSS, Java, DHTML and countless other things. My web site is uniquely mine. It is a product of my imagination, my sweat, my brain and my frustration. I have spent many sleepless nights and countless long days adding just the perfect content to communicate exactly what I wanted to say. Now Microsoft has come along with a brilliant idea. They want to piggyback their own selected content on top of that work. The idea is to have their products (such as Internet Explorer and the Office suite) scan web pages and documents for keywords and phrases known to the Microsoft. Any of these that are found would be underlined with a special purple squiggle to show that they are smart tags. Anyone viewing the page could then click on the smart tag and be transported to a Microsoft web site for more information. For example, you could write a web page about the Grand Canyon, and the phrase Grand Canyon could be underlined, allowing your visitors to check out the Expedia.Com page about how to book travel to the area. Why does Microsoft want to do this? It's really very simple - to make an incredible amount of money. Look at it this way, Microsoft suddenly would have at their disposal every single document viewed with a new Microsoft product as a potential advertisement. Wow. That's power. No, this is an understatement of incredible magnitude. This is more than power - this is the harnessing of everyone's creative energy into a huge global advertising tool. It totally staggers the imagination. You could be looking at a newspaper site, reading an article about train travel, and click on numerous links to Microsoft sites (and presumably third party sites which paid Microsoft for the privilege) selling train related products and services. If you read a classified ad on that same newspaper site selling an automobile, the word Cadillac could be underlined with a smart tag linking to a Cadillac dealer. Content (the tags) are added dynamically to web pages by the browser without the permission of the person who created the pages (the webmaster or author). While strictly speaking this might not violate copyright laws (but it might be considered vandalism), it sure is rude. In fact, most people would consider it highly unethical. As an example, suppose you bought a book through a book club. Before it was shipped to you, someone opened the book and examined every single page, adding comments here and there about how you could purchase this or get more information about that. You would be very annoyed if you were the author, you'd probably be livid if you were the publisher of the book, and you'd almost certainly return it if you were the customer. Carefully crafted web pages whose look and feel has been lovingly built for countless hours by dedicated designers, authors, artists and webmasters would be randomly covered with trash by a company intent on siphoning away visitors to their own sites and pages. And what about the problem of inappropriate content? Suppose you had a site which was against animal cruelty, yet Smart Tags went ahead and added to your pages links to other sites which sold muzzles for horses? You wouldn't like that very much, would you? Another problem is that Smart Tags are opt-out. This means the tags are inserted unless you (the webmaster or the user) indicate that you do not want them. Opt-Out is the preferred method of removal for many advertisers because they understand that most people will not bother to remove themselves from the list. Opt-in is the preferred method of most consumers because then they receive only what they have requested. Webmasters can keep smart tags from working on their site by including a special opt-out metatag in the header of each and every page. I highly recommend that all webmasters include this tag to prevent smart tags from operating. meta name=MSSmartTagsPreventParsing content=TRUE As soon as Smart Tags appeared in a beta release of Windows XP, the furor began. It was awesome to see.

I recently edited WinVNC (yes I know it's windows, but I couldn't find a GPL mailing list). This edited WinVNC was meant to be absolutely invisible to the user of the workstation. There is no information that it ever used to be VNC or what it does (unless these elementary school teachers know a lot more about computers than what we think :) Here's the question: we are keeping this edited version of VNC completely within our local network. Do we have to include or say, like a pop up, that it ever was VNC and/or GPL info? Section 2(c) of the GPL deals with modified applications and notice requirements for interactive programs. Note: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: ... c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) My reading: the notice requirement is predicated on modifying AND distributing the modifications. The (c) requirement isn't required under the GPL for personal, or internal (within the company) use. However, as a caution in the event of distribution, I'd add the interactive note referenced in (c) as a matter of course. IANAL, this is not legal advice.

:
Preparing to UPGRADE POSTGRESQL? If you have a second machine
on your network that you can tinker with, do your upgrade
there, first: you can have your current applications link to
the remote database through the network:
psql -h 192.168.2.17 myDB
or in perl,
$dbh = DBI-connect('dbi:Pg:dbname=myDB;host=192.168.2.17');
(You may need to tweak your 'host-based access' settings in
/etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf, first.) Once you're satisfied that
all is well, upgrade your main server. No down time!

Classic Windoze lockup while in X (Gnome)
Hi, I just had something scary (to me) happen. I was in X (with Gnome) working on my favorite LT WinModem problem. I was running Gnome Termnal and GnomePad+. Potato 2.2.19pre17 with all other packages from the same official CD image D/L'd. As I was trying to find help with why I couldn't open a hidden file in GnomePad+ I clicked on something, Gnome Terminal seemed to get the focus with an I-Beam cursor (from GnomePad+ ?) and I had the symptoms of a classic MS Windoze lockup. The mouse was dead. I could not open a virtual terminal. I could not shut down X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. Ctrl-Alt-Del did nothing. I reset my CPU, rebooted to Linux and went to /var/log to see what I could see. I don't yet know what logs to look for but sorting by time seemed to only leave debug as relevant. This is the only line in the time vicinity: Aug 15 00:52:29 joy gnome-name-server[629]: server_is_alive: cnx[IDL:help_browser/simple_browser:1.0] = (nil) Any clues or suggestions of what to read would be appreciated.
