Kent,
Hi, Im combining several replies into one....
Kent,
Im currently using kmail, its grown to be quite a usable program,
and doesnt seem to launch outlook based viri.... It has an address book, and
if your using KDE already, then you probably have it.
There are a lot of email clients that run under linux, too many for
me to try listing.. My personal fav's are pine, kmail, and sometimes netscape
messanger (big fat pig of a client though...)
As jacob mentioned, procmail is a great filtering tool, The code is
a bit difficult at first to learn, but quite versitile, and powerful.
I dont use grub, but i do use lilo, and am fairly well versed in
lilo.conf (a little better now that pat hip'd be to password protection)
Ok so, lilo conf is pretty straight forward, there are basicly 2
sections
(its not too obvious, but there is a global section, and a section for the
individual systems that are installed...
heres my local box's lilo as an example... (note.. comments are not part of
the file...)
########### this part is the global section #########
boot=/dev/hda < -- boot device!
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
default=linux <--------- this line sets the default LABEL to load
keytable=/boot/us.klt
lba32 <-- I have a LBA based hard disk...
prompt <-- prompt the user which os to load
timeout=50 <---- how long to wait before loading the default os
message=/boot/message-graphic
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
######## below is the part that deals with each os you want to access ######
image=/boot/vmlinuz <--- the kernel to load...
label=linux <-- label, this can be whatever you want...
root=/dev/hda5 <-- what partition has the root filesystem
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=failsafe
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=" failsafe" <--- this is a feature... I never really use it
read-only
other=/dev/hda1 <--- this is a windows boot... pretty simple huh!
label=windows
table=/dev/hda
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
############### end of jamie's lilo.conf ############
There are a LOT of things you can do with lilo, this is just the basics, read:
man lilo for details on all the groovy stuff you can do with lilo!
