I was thinking about two ideas that may help Debian and general linux systems:
1) How about a simple tutorial that comes up after installing debian. Something that would offer 3 steps: 1. a general linux tutor for those people who are completely new, 2. a sys admin tutor for those who haven't had to admin before, and 3. a debian tutor explaining dselect, dpkg, the filesystem layout, features, etc. I would be nice if this could be e-mailed, printed (for pamplets to go with cd's along the the install notes), easily exported to the web, and automatically come up when a new user logs in (maybe something like: for help using linux or debian, type "tutor" (or maybe "learn", "help" was already taken) implemented by cating an /etc/README.newuser from the .profile, .bash_profile, or .bashrc). If I'm reinventing the wheel, if someone want's to do this, if someone wants to help me, or if you would find this helpful or needed on a debian system, let me know. 2) Is there a way to convert the following from my .procmailrc: :0: * .*(@mega.net|\ [EMAIL PROTECTED]|\ [EMAIL PROTECTED]|\ [EMAIL PROTECTED]|\ [EMAIL PROTECTED]|\ ... [EMAIL PROTECTED]) to search for one of these e-mail addresses in a file? The idea being I can get a list of spam addresses, append them to a file, and procmail does it's dirty job if the address is in the file. Otherwise, I'll get one long and dirty .procmailrc file.
