Hebrew-friendly list server on Linux?
Hi, I'm looking for a mailing list server that is meant to serve a few hundred users. The catch is that these are non-technical users who will correspond only in Hebrew. My first solution, Yahoo groups, is a big failure due to the number of users who complain about gibberish in their inbox. Can anyone recommend a decent solution, either hosted or something thatI can install on my own Linux server? Note that the admin interface doesn't have to be in Hebrew, only the user-facing side. Thanks, Rony To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can anyone recommend a decent solution, either hosted or something thatI can

Paper journals
Hi, My employer considers purchasing a subscription to some linux journals. I mean, paper (aka hardcopy) ones. The intended public is developers, not sales/management, so it must be sufficiently technical.

Re: Hebrew-friendly list server on Linux?
Hi, I extensively used mailman-2.1.9 on Debian Etch, at a government ministry. We sent (and they are sending now) mails in Hebrew. There were no complaints, at least about Hebrew (there were complains about Mailman and MS Outlook interoperability with regard to mail headers). We tested every mail distribution before sending it to actual recipients, there was no gibberish in Outlook, gmail, yahoo, and eudora(?). - Moshe.

Re: Paper journals
Hi, I have to tell you the truth, it is a waste of money and trees. Nothing in a hardcopy magazine can't be found in online magazine - even those that are subscription based. Don't kill any more tree just so that it sits in the office to collect dust. Just my 2cents.

Arch Linux xorg and old thinkpad A21p laptop
Hello List, I'm tring to help some one to rescue an old laptop (thinkpad A21p) with 128M ram. So I have installed arch linux inside. Everything went well, until I tried to work with xorg. It seems that X just ignores my settings of resolution and color depth, and even worse, from time to time, it either go all while (the screen) or black and the entire machine get stack (even the sys resque magic does not work). This happens to me only with arch linux's xorg. I have tried it using xubuntu (that had other issues, like malformed drivers of orinoco, but not related to x), and even DSL, and non of them had this type of problem. I created the xorg.conf using X -configure and even when i changed the support for depth to 1 bit and the resolution to 640x480 (very small for a 15 lcd), it just place 800x600 and 24 bit color. It also display half a screen, the content of X, then it have blank until a point it painting the screen again like it is on origin 0,0. Any ideas what I should look for, and what might cause such issues ?

Re: Arch Linux xorg and old thinkpad A21p laptop
Hi, I'm not sure if Arch Linux is the best choice (I had tons of problems with their packaging few months ago). You can try to use vesa driver in the xorg.conf and it should let you have X although non accelerated. It really depends which chipset is inside this machine (in the IBM World, A21p is not enough as there are some models of A21p, you should also check what the computer type is (it's in the bottom of the machine, 3 letters, 4 numbers) or use /sbin/lspci to see what graphics chip you got. After setting it to VESA, you can play with the driver so you can always at least have some stable config. As Gil said, 128MB is too small ram if you plan to run any desktop (GNOME, KDE, Enlightment). You can use the lighter (fvwm, icewm, blackwm, amiwm etc..) window management plus some lite apps.

RE: Arch Linux xorg and old thinkpad A21p laptop
The first thing to look for is the version of the X packages (are there new ones in the distro? And the uplink?). If the versions match the ones by DSL and xubuntu, then it's either patches not integrated by arch linux or difference in the generated xfree86 files (compare the two, but that seems less likely to me). make sure that the right driver gets used, it might be picking up the framebuffer or vesa drivers for some reason. Also on the subject, I would also suggest that you get some extra memory for it, the difference between 128mb and 320mb is huge. It's still very much viable as a student laptop, if upgraded. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ik Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2008 3:59 PM To: linux-il Subject: Arch Linux xorg and old thinkpad A21p laptop Hello List, I'm tring to help some one to rescue an old laptop (thinkpad A21p) with 128M ram.

Finding porn links in hacked web pages
Yesterday my wife went to a perfectly normal web page and after a few seconds a porn page replaced it. I looked at the HTML page source and found that at the bottom of the page were hundreds of links, which did not belong there. I called the publisher of the page, and he determined that his server had been hacked and the links added. He is not technicaly inclined at all, and does not have the ability to check his pages without going to each one in a browser and looking at the page source. He has thousands of pages and runs the site as a Jewish news site, with no income. I was thinking that I could write a program that scans each of his web pages using wget or lynx to download them, but don't want to start writing code if it has been already done. Any suggestions?

Re: Finding porn links in hacked web pages
The method which I use is to: 1. Perform periodic backup of the entire Web site, including SQL dumps of any databases driving it. 2. Download the backup files to PC. 3. Open them (into a subdirectory and import into a new DB instance, respectively). 4. Run 'diff' between the opened files and the previous backup. For regular files, use 'diff'. For DB comparison of two MySQL DBs, I use a Python script, which I wrote. --- Omer On Mon, 2008-01-28 at 09:03 +0200, Geoffrey S.
