:)) I spread linux "piracy" :P on ANUSAT LAN (BARC colony).. Its pretty difficult to penetrate this network of kids playin Windoze games all day long and any doze version is available on LAN just for a ping on the now infamous IP Messenger! More resistance from the cable wala (Mr ShreeOmkar who runs his servers and office machines on pirated windows systems) and does all that is possible to make his customers not use Linux. He once told me, i don't recommend using Linux :)) And after 8 months of flawless connectivity, no Ubuntu user today in this colony using his connection can connect to the internet for some unknown reason! :( I've cancelled subscription. [But LAN is on :P ] Well the main reason being his so called technical staff knows nothing more than the two DNS server IPs and pluggin a LAN card into the respective slot on the MoBo. Please lend me any new distros you guys have got. Anyone near BARC colony, please contact me if you can give me the CDs even for a day or two, I just need to create ISO images. Thanks & regards. -- "Best things in the world are free; but FREEDOM takes its toll!" kamal -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
