Well, Mail is ok for some of what I need, but it lacks the ability to do address re-writing (afaik) of the sender (since the mail will come from a Linux or Solaris box, but any replies need to go to an exchange server), and it doesn't do attachments. I did, however, find out how to preven

RedHat 6.2 Beta

All, I just did an ftp install of RH6.2beta to see if it has any major advances. There are a few new things. It's based on kernel 2.2.15. Also, if you do a custom install, they have added "clustering" as one of the package groups (I think the clustering package is pvm). The MESA drivers ar

You shouldn't need to change modules.conf. All you need to do is put an append statement in your /etc/lilo.conf file to assign the module, irq, and I/O to eth0 or eth1. However, I have had trouble in the past using a 3c905 pci card where it ALWAYS wants to be eth0 no matter what you do. Th
