Adrian: Collaborative, remote server configuration.
Alain: Collaborative, in a manner of speaking, now
that you have joined Anthony's ranks, eh!
Adrian: This sounds like an interesting project.
Alain: Yes, it does, but I cannot afford to
participate in it much, at this time, except to get
Anthony and you up and running.
Adrian: I've actually spent the last month of my
holidays configuring my Linux machine and it's almost
perfect now, so I've learnt a lot about how to set up
a Linux installation.
Alain: An expert. Excellent!
Adrian: You'd have to ensure that either telnet or ssh
is enabled ...
Alain: Give me precise instructions on what you want,
and it shall be done -- on the condition that what you
ask is not too arduous.
Adrian: ... and that whoever's interested (and trusted
etc) gets an account on it. The only problem will be
if we need the root password, which is pretty common
when setting things up, but it is not a good idea to
give out the root password unless the people are
*very* trustworthy (root can do *anything*).
Alain: If do not see this as a problem here either
because I am doing absolutely nothing with my
soon-to-be LinuxPPC machine, except to host it for you
guys.
Adrian: There are a few other issues to discuss if you
are serious about doing this, but I've pretty much run
out of things to tweak on my machine and I'll get very
bored around here if I don't find another project. :)
Alain: Wonderful. How about being in charge of this
remote Linux project?
Happy New Millenium, Adrian.
