Hi Guys,
Firefox 3.0 is coming out tomorrow. The 18th here is the 17th in the USA,
which is global download day for the Firefox 3.0 launch.
Mozilla is attempting to win a Guiness Book of World Records entry
for the most downloads in one day.
So far, 1.4 million have pledged.

This may be off topic, but there is a lot of networking talent
on SLUG. And the answers to this query will be very useful in
general.
A new icon I have never seen before for a PC connection to my
wireless LAN has alerted me that someone the area is attempting
to connect. The icon only indicates

And I am sure there are packages for FF 3.0. And many
mirrors of it.
I hope the Firefox team are taking this into account when they
estimate the number of downloads tomorrow.
Does anyone know if, in general, mirrors
Hi Rick
if someone is 'trying to connect' then fortunately they arent actually
connecting. there isnt much you can do about people attempting to
connect (unless you hire some sort of sniper on top of your building).
however.
if someone is actually attaching to your wireless lan, that is a

Crikies I must keep up. I'm only using Linux in serverland,
sans an X or GUI, so I am out of that loop.
Why iceweasel over FF?

its a big messy story which relates mainly too
- OSS software with non-free logos and trademarks
- big silly OSS foundations that dont accept patches for major memory leaks
- the same big silly foundations not liking it when said patches are
applied then the resulting software is distributed

Daniel beat me to the punch on all counts, and have to agree.
Locking down MAC addresses and not using DHCP are probably the most easily
circumventing - the former can be done by just configuring you NIC with that
MAC address, and overriding a fixed IP address is basically as trival as
responding
Rick,
It isn't clear what you are seeing. Is this just an *available* adhoc
network appearing in network-manager? This just means that there is someone
nearby advertising their PC as an ad-hoc network. It is then up to you to
decide if you want to connect to them.
