And for that matter, there are other providers that give you dns hosting for free too, for a few domains - there was a thread about them here some time ago, and a few I can recall - zoneedit, afraid.org, dnsexit. About monitoring software - I never used any, but there are a few for linux, probably built into ubuntu. apt-cache search on my Debian Squeeze finds camstream and zoneminder. -- Didi _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
