Hi folks
I have a couple of issues on my laptop that I would like to get wrapped
up in the easiest method possible
1. Flashcards / memory sticks
- Right now -- in order to mount my camera cards / thumb drives
-- I have to become root -- its easy, but an annoyance - I have looked
at automount and that is FAR more problems than im willing to go through
(the shortest set of instructions ive seen so far for automount is like
3 pages), so if I could get it set up so that I can just do the mount
commands as my user instead of having to su it would be nice
2. Energy saver thingy
- after about 10 minutes or so of inactivity, the screen shuts
off under power saver -- I cant seem to find how to prevent this from
happening, and could use some guidance
3. I need a good VPN Client with easy gui
- right now our school has a VPN set up on the cisco pix that
works beautifully with a Microsoft VPN connection on a windows box, I
need to be able to access this with my gentoo laptop as well
4. I need to be able to use a USB to Serial dongle to talk to my
switches -- the adapters that I have are Triplite ones and I do have the
driver disk for windows -- along with this, I need a good communications
program (equivalent to hyperterm ) to use with them to talk to my
switches and to my UPS
Thanks folks - any pointers and/or suggestions are gladly welcomed
