How come neither the Gnome nor the KDE lists have spam?
Why don't you ask them what they use to filter it out...

Another possibly more unpleasant topic:
It seems that a few of the better known distributions switched from XFree86 to 
X. What effect will
this have on XFree86 in general and in this list in particular?
I was not quite clear as to the reason is it licensing?

   Allixon International Has Been Granted Venture Certification

   SEOCHO-KU, SEOUL, Korea, Sept. 30, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -
   Allixon International Corporation (Other OTC:AXCP.PK - News)
   is pleased to announce that it was granted venture certification
   by SMBA (Small and Medium Business Administration).
   The South Korean government, on an annual basis,
   grants special benefits to companies like Allixon International
   who continue to demonstrate innovation and investment within their field
   of expertise. Additional benefits include the ability for Allixon
   to apply for new technology development programs
   within the Korean government.
  
   Allixon's management was quick to point out that while this development
   is a continued positive step in the right direction for growth
   in their RFID sector, it does not represent a contract. Other benefits
   that can have an impact on a company's bottom line is the reduction
   in various corporate taxes for a specified period of time,
   and preferential interest and loans for equipment and management
   from government monetary facilities.
  
   Mr.

A filter plus subscriber restrictions largely satisfy this, as is evidenced
by the zero spam level on [EMAIL PROTECTED]  For the subscriber
restriction to work for a list like this one also requires an active
moderator, and that is a waste of time, IMO.

Another possibly more unpleasant topic:
It seems that a few of the better known distributions switched from XFree86 to 
X. What effect will

This is a very old topic.  XFree86 has made two annual releases since
then, and the next annual release, 4.6.0, will appear in early 2006.
This list has continued since then also.  XFree86's existence does not
depend on distributions, but on the individuals that continue to contribute
to its development.

I was not quite clear as to the reason is it licensing?

The move to switch pre-dates the licensing changes, in spite of a popular
history rewrite to the contrary.

Re: [XFree86] [SPAM] ...and if you don't have a monitor at all? How do you configure XFree?

 I am running on a briQ (PPC arch, YDL - RedHat reloaded :-) ) I have
 been using ssh for ever, but I would like to use X. So I downloaded
 the rpm's, but of cause I get the no monitor error.

 But how do I set X up since what I will be doing is use the
 DISPLAY=x.x.x.x:0.0 to get to an external x-server?  I have a hunch
 that I may looking at VNC as well, but that is still an x-server to
 the host machine so I guess I am still back to the initial problem:
 how to configure in this special environment.

You don't need any configuration.  Just install the libraries and set
DISPLAY to your workstation.  You don't need to run a local X server
to use X libraries.  The same applies to VNC.  VNC is a special X
server without a monitor.

You don't.  You configure sockets in your kernel and make sure the net
connection works, and that's what your X clients (applications that
connect to the X server) in your embedded system will use to connect to
the server.

Just to be clear:  the X *server* is, by definition, a computer that has
a monitor connected to it.  X *clients* are the applications that
connect to it, and they don't need any part of X on the local machine,
AFAIK, except perhaps a .so file or two.

I'd like to know how it made it to this list in the first place.
This is a member's only list.  You can't post unless you subscribe.
Are spammers subscribing?  Or do they just happen to spam with
forged From addresses that happen to be subscribed?
I do wonder, too; it isn't too farfetched to think that they are so 
desperate that they subscribe to lists, is it?
anyway, I think this is more likely than to think they go around looking 
for people subscribed to mailing lists.
By the way, I am sorry that my first posting has nothing to do with XFree.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for helping me with 
your comments and doubts, I am learning a lot!
