The SpamBouncer *** I'm not sure spambouncer is what you need in your case. Try and have a look at procmail sanitizer which does a bit of spam bouncing but especially sanitizing of mail messages (checking the attachments for virus messages) It's a set of procmail rules - so you could add spambouncer later on if you need to. It consists of several files each with their particular function. The whole setup is initiated by your /etc/procmailrc file. You can make the config as complicated as you wish. Once setup you don't touch the main files, your own local rules or new procmail sanitizing rules go in local-rules.procmail. Once a suspicious file has been detected it will go to a mailbox assigned by you as the quarantine, renamed to whatever.doc.txt. The sanitizer will automatically mail a preformed message (found in security-policy.txt) to the sender and/or its ISP. The setup will take you anything between 2 hours and half a day depending on your motivation. It took me half a day because 1/ I WAS motivated ;-) and 2/ it works so well you want to make it the most perfect filtering setup in the world ;-)))... The URL is http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/for the download directory. The main page is under renovation (?) for the last 6 months and one of the pages says the filters haven't been updated for the last 2 years (!)... This might sound as a bad thing, and it probably is for the average user, but it's really not a problem. In fact the sanitizer gives you a nice basis to start with and with all the procmail resources available on the Net you'll be able to put together something that fits your needs. I've been running the sanitizer for the last 7 months on my mail server and I can confirm it works very well. While McAfee and others where trying to figure out what was happening I already got several viruses isolated in my quarantine mailbox. Mail me if you need more info...

(more later) Caldera do not use Kxx anyything. In fact, all runlevels in Caldera except #2 are 100% identical, Yes, that includes 5 : the gui, surprise surprise. With some extreme minors, even runlevel 2 is identical. Caldera relies heavily on a well crafted script firing out of /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions to work the magic in /etc/sysconfig/everything There are some very minor typos in the pcmcia and diald config files but the rest is excellent stuff. The work done here was as visionary (at that time) as their equally excellent /etc/modules/default way of handling boot time kernel modules. Regardless of these distro differences the controlling element is /etc/rc. You can imagine it is very different in content between the two, because in a redhat system, it is used to KILL services ala the Kxx mentioned above. In a Caldera system the /etc/sysconfigs you mention are relied on instead (and a slightly different /etc/rc/init/pick-a-script) Having said all that !!! redhat too use /etc/sysconfig, extensively, but not in such a uniform or reliant manner. It unfortunately depends on the specific 'thing' you're trying to control and what the sys-programmer had for breakfast on Wednesday.

Suggested by Jerry, no drivers no IRQ, were you able to disable the built-ins in the BIOS or how? The board I'm using is the model you inquired about... the ECS K7S5A. I disabled unwanted devices easily in the bios settings. I have the manual here in front of me if you have any questions. BTW, the FSB runs at a choice of either 200MHz or 266MHZ. The only negative thing I've heard is that Athalons don't run at flat out optimum on early models of this board. There was a slight performance hit that, apparently, has been cured by the most recent bios upgrades/flashes. I read something about this before...I was kinda hesitant until I saw someone claiming it was fixed by BIOS v.whatever. I've posed these questions to the vendor I am speaking with, and it's not that I don't trust the guy, but it's nice to hear these things from impartial 3rd parties. Be aware that Athalons run hot. And the Athalon Thunderbirds are reputed to run VERY hot. However, I have a great case (http://www.antec-inc.com/product/cases/sohoser.html). I chose the black model for sex appeal (I'm getting sick of beige). The key lockable front door hides the inevitable beige add-in components (CD, floppy, etc.). I added an additional 3 in. toe fan at the bottom. It came with dual 3 in. exhaust fans Hmmm, interesting, I am looking at the SX840...I don't see myself needing the space a full tower would give me...but great minds must think alike. I like the fact that adding fans on the front is a snap in upgrade, if I need them. in the back. I also use a Thermal Take Copper Orb heatsink fan (http://www.thermaltake.com/du0462-9.htm). As a result I never exceed 40C. I actually was looking at this one, or a similar one by them (found it through reviews), but when my vendor heard I wanted a 1.4 GHz, he recommended a different one by Coolermaster, that supposedly offers slightly better cooling (3-4 degrees, but it was only about 5 bucks more). I made sure that whatever it was, it had been approved by AMD. I departed from the norm (for me) and decided I was tired of faffing about with dual booting. I still need Windows/MS Office occaisionally when a contract specifies Excel or Word deliverables. So, I laid down some extra dosh on a couple of removable hard drive frames and cases. I have two 13Gb Quatum drives, so I can just switch the drives and reboot without making any changes in the bios. I've know about these for some time now, but only just recently have I been exposed to them at school. I am in a UNIX admin course as part of a certification, and we use these so each student can have his/her own installs of Solaris (which I've not dealt with before) and (ugh) Redhat. They definitely seem like a very attractive option, and not too expensive either. Do you have a server somewhere to leave files for Linux when you are in WinX and vice versa? Or can you have a HD that stays in the machine all the time? BTW, I definitely re commend investing in DDRAM. With a 266MHz FSB, it's definitely worth it and prices are a bargain right now. DDRAM from the get go. Thanks for this, you just confirmed at least one person's good experience with many of the bits and pieces that my machine will be made of.

If the frequency ranges and mode settings for the displays defined in your /etc/X11/XF86Config file do not match those of your new monitor, then you will have to reset the X server parameters in that file from run level 3.

I like the fact that adding fans on the front is a snap in upgrade, if I need them. Yep. And in the tower the two internal bays in the bottom for hard drives, etc. can be removed as a single piece. You can have 3 drives in each (as an example) and you don't have to fuss about with it down on the floor. Just disconnect the cables on the back, flip a locking lever, and the whole works slides out in one piece. I actually was looking at this one, or a similar one by them (found it through reviews), but when my vendor heard I wanted a 1.4 GHz, he recommended a different one by Coolermaster, that supposedly offers slightly better cooling (3-4 degrees, but it was only about 5 bucks more). I made sure that whatever it was, it had been approved by AMD. Each to his own, but check the specs first - your dealer may be influenced by other things. The two main CoolerMaster coolers for this CPU produce an airflow of 21.16 and 17.3 cfm and a noise of 34.5 dB(A). The ThermalTake Copper Orb is rated at 23.1 cfm and a noise level of only 29 dB(A). discussing removable hard drives They definitely seem like a very attractive option, and not too expensive either. Do you have a server somewhere to leave files for Linux when you are in WinX and vice versa? Or can you have a HD that stays in the machine all the time? I also have two other drives on the system... one ext2 and the other fat32. These are permanently fitted and I can access both in Linux.

Re: gnome 1.4(or latest stable) on eDesktop2.4
Yeah, Bill ... I'm running Ximian Gnome on a more or less stock eD2.4 install, or at least it was a stock install when I started my Gnome experiments. I used the Ximian install for RedHat 6.x. Issues were that the bug reporting scheme and the upgrade scheme had to be heavily messed with to work with Caldera, and I never did get it to work *quite-right* before I gave up and moved on. Ximian produced a Caldera specific install, but quit doing so right around the time the single seat license policy was announced. No answer from Ximian as to THEIR reason for cancelling the package - this was just my observation. Actually, I've stripped a lot of stuff out of Gnome (Nautilus, Bug Buddy, that particular version of Mozilla, etc.) and now run the Gnome apps I like under IceWM. Works dandy - Gnome, KDE (1.x for now) and X11 apps all seem to coexist quite nicely and IceWM has a low enough memory overhead that it even seems to work with these apps faster than in their native ground.
