Hope it helps. Cool :) Thanks. I have been doing some experiments with a Buffalo WHR-HP-G300N [1] with DD-WRT firmware (officially from Buffalo on a CDROM that needs to be flashed). The firmware has some cool features; for a Rs. 3500 street price I think it is worth it as it removes some of the trials and experimentation.

Was wondering, is anyone aware of larger or comparable Debian installations in the country? Or should we be spraining our wrists trying to pat ourselves on our backs? LIC? I don't know their numbers but do know a couple people who work there and have been given Linux desktops. Given it's size and pan India presence, their number may be large. Congratulations!! A big job indeed. I have read your responses to queries for documentation and process.

[ilugd] efax: No alert for incoming fax
I am able to successfully send and receive faxes on my PC. But there is no indication of an incoming fax so there is no way to know a fax is coming, just by watching (while testing in same room) that other person is sending fax, and clicking Answer the call I receive fax. What that is not possible in real deployment. I worked on Ubuntu 10.10, with USB Modem (I got with Dell laptop), which is Conexant RD02-D400. STANDBY MODE (automatic answering mode) is not working. I changed initialization params from Z FED2S7=120 C0 M1L0 to Z FED2S7=120 C0 M1L2 S11=55 but no success. I tried with and without S0=3, while I guess RINGS: 3 (efax-gtk) is doing the same job. I suspect this that modem is not recognising incoming ring. Can I have some hint about parameters and their range which I can try to make it recognising incoming ring? -- H.S.Rai ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

I hope you will be able to give some answers to the following specific questions. 1. Debian has 3 sections - main, non-free and contrib. The classification is based on licensing /and/ freeness of dependencies. Apart from hardware specific packages, anything that is not in Debian? 2. Debian takes pride in packaging anything with a free (as in freedom) license. Did you have to customise any package? (in any way - like recompile against a specific library version; rebuild a kernel,e tc) ? Aw - I recall a post you made long time back about a samba installation. ;-D 3. What was the documentation about? As you have rightly pointed, the community has no use for documentation on things like reducing / elevating user privileges within the installation. Or how they manage the sudoers group. Actually, I should confess that you had to do any documentation at all - I do an occasional single PC install, and most of documentation is available on the F! key.

As far as I know, there's nothing I find this choice rather strange. It is usually the other way around stable on servers and testing (even unstable / experimental) on clients. Why? Is it because they are not using the typical desktop / office / productivity suites? Testing on servers since we needed the latest packages.
