What with the financial 'downturn' it seems so many companies deploy new ways

Anyway, i'm looking for a honest and reliable registrar so that I can move a

Hello there,
Quick question follows, here are a number of ubuntu 9.04 machines. They all
want updates.
Instead of eating loads of internet bandwidth, can the updates simply be
downloaded once from one machine and then installed manually on the others ?
thanks in advance,
Isaac.

Personally, I always configure my email services to reject unknown recipients,

Is it becoming common practice to sliently drop messages instead of bouncing

I've spoken to ebay (on the phone), and they assured me of no downtime on their
system, but more importantly i've filed a report with them and asked them to

hello all,
i'm trying to find information about some sort of 'secure' NFS-ROOT Filesystem
setup. So far, i'm not having much luck.
I have working NFS-ROOT machines, but as you may already know NFS is not
encrypted, and i can quite easily intercept packets with code of my own.
So, what to do ?

Best as-in best compression ratio most, cpu time and memory footprint are not a
problem.
I'm already well aware of 7zip, bzip2, rzip and ofcourse gzip, but looking on
google is not putting me beyond those.

Hello there,
I seem to want to plug a usb broadband dongle into something small that runs
linux and stuff.
Nice idea, might even be possible, from what i can gather, both devices do have
a 'host usb' bus (not just a client), also the connector/cable is 'buyable'
from ebay it seems.
