Penderel Configuration
Is this a suitable place to talk about our server? I guess we should have a separate mailing list for it eventually g I was just wondering if we could make a list of things that have been installed and services that are available. I would be willing to start a FAQ and wish list if someone else isn't doing it already. To start: I'd like to be able to have a http://london.pm.org/~shiels web address, and a cgi-bin directory. I would like to have (at least) one mysql database to play with. I'd like to know which perl modules are already installed. I doesn't make sense for us all to install things in our individual user areas if we can share them instead. There may of course be valid objections to doing some of the above, but it'd be good if we had a dos and don'ts list in that case. Thoughts? -- Robert

RE: Penderel Configuration
From: Michael Stevens [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Tools - Options - Preferences - E-mail Options ... (This is Microsoft Outlook 2000 SR-1 Corporate or Workgroup) Outlook 98 and Outlook Express also have this feature. Outlook 97 (my current employer's choice) doesn't (so the above quoting is manually inserted - I should be thankful that the Exchange server here is at least configured to squash HTML/RTF email into plain text). It may be heresy to admit it around here (come on then MuttCarroll!), but I actually quite like Outlook Express (as distinct from Outlook) as a mail client. Once it's configured to disable scripting etc. it's biggest flaw, aside from its provenance in Redmond, is that it doesn't seem possible to disable the display of HTML email - which is kind of annoying given the opportunity this offers to spammers etc. to track the display of email. Maybe it's not so good after all ;-) Andrew.

Oh no, CPAN mirror is bring, I'm talking about installing all the CPAN modules. Of course some of them do depend on other unbundled software, but we can skip those.
