Jani Mosones has announced the release of Kiwi Linux 8.08, an Ubuntu-based distribution with support for multimedia codecs, encrypted DVDs, Flash and other desktop conveniences: Kiwi Linux 8.08 is a desktop CD derivative based on Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS for the x86 architecture. It contains packages necessary for playing restricted audio, video and Flash formats by default and supports the SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL modem. Differences with respect to Ubuntu 8.04.1: packages up to date as of 28 August 2008; Thunderbird as the default mail client, Audacious as the default music player; Flash plugin and all GStreamer codecs; Compiz extra settings GUI; unrar and MS TrueType fonts; a graphical tool for restoring GRUB; Midnight Commander; the Medibuntu repositories enabled by default to allow installing w32codecs, Skype and Google Earth. Read the full release announcement for more details http://groups.google.com/group/kiwilinux/web/kiwi-8-08-release-notes I am sure in your life time you will see 50 such more distros. It is easy to take one distro, remaster it to include certain packages and release your own. It is hard to maintain it. It is also hard for some people to understand why some packages are not included by default. They simply ignore whatever patent, redistribution problems these packages have and then claim that they provide full multimedia experience. It is like overspeeding on road, breaking all the signals and then claiming that you can reach certain distance in half the time compared to others. I will admit thats a fair and to some extent a correct assessment. But I hope I keep seeing more Distros. It's this freedom of creating Distros as an off-shoot of some primary Distro that has gives us the likes of PCLinux OS, Ubuntu, etc. The more people fork out, the better are the chances that another Ubuntu will emerge from it. Thanks, Raseel http://raseel.in/techblog I dint like last line which i marked red. Say GNU/Linux captured 50% of the desktop market in 10 years. Then MS will say we are the leading desktop operating system providers of the world because there will be only one operating system at a time in market say windows XP or Vista or windows7 wat eva. We cant say that bcoz Ubuntu -20%, suse 15%, fedora 14% etc( please ignore these figures), The whole concept of distros is bad. If all the ppl in the world who are interested in GNU/Linux develop a single OS named wat eve. Imagine the output (I am out of imaganation.)

Here's what I suggest. You already have Ubuntu installed I believe. Backup your /home on an external drive (pen drive or external HDD). Make enough space on your internal HDD and then install Fedora, allowing it to format your /home if it wants to. At the end, boot Fedora once and then copy your backup of /home from the external drive back to your internal HDD. Perhaps that will delete some config files but this might work. On the contrary he should keep the existing data on /home partition and use it as it is. That way there is at least some chance that it will work. Also the first user created in Fedora will need same user name as in Ubuntu. Otherwise it will simply use different home directory (/home/username).

Moreover I suggest checking out LinuxMint (http://www.linuxmint.com) if you want to save yourself the trouble of installing multi media codecs, flash, Java etc(which most, if not all, of us install anyway).

If my understanding is right, wvdialconf searches for the modem in all possible ports, and detects maximum possible baud etc and saves the settings in /etc/wvdial.conf file. You have to edit that file and enter your dialup phone number (such as 172226 for bsnl or #777 for reliance cdma), username etc. wvdial ofcourse dials out (using settings from wvdial.conf), initiates a ppp session and establishes a default route in the routing table. there may be better ways to achieve this using the network manage applet, but this is the way I know that works for sure.

Mallikarjun: First of all, I think you should take help from Airtel people. Secondly, you are using the wrong modem. They should have given you an external ADSL modem, which you should connect to your laptop using an ethernet cable (you can also use a USB cable, but it will be a little slower). Ethernet connection is simpler to configure (no drivers reqd) and it is faster than a USB connection. They have given modem and it works, but i got RD02 with laptop so wanted to give a try. also 2 systems cant be used at a time so anyways thanks to all. I hope this helps!

You can point your own domain as a CNAME to your registered hostname on one of those services.

I did first part. but dint while adding CNAME also it was asking secondary DNS. Also mydomain.secdomain.com points from outside.

Ok, instead of afraid.org, use dnsexit.com. 1) Create an account on dnsexit.com 2) Download domainUpdate perl script from http://downloads.dnsexit.com/domainUpdate.zip http://downloads.dnsexit.com/domainUpdate.zip link not found??? 3) Change these variables in the script my $user = 'xxx'; my $pass = ''; my $domain = 'mydomain'; my @network = `ifconfig ppp0`; my $ipfile = '/usr/local/src/domainUpdate/last_ip'; 4) Create a symlink in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d to the script. This will ensure, whenever your pppd reconnects, it runs the script. It is assuming that you run pppoe from your local machine and your DSL router is in bridge mode. 5) Create DNS entry in dnsexit webGUI for your domain. 6) Now, call domainUpdate.pl manually and run following command to check if your IP address has been updated on dnsexit nameservers: dig @ns3.dnsexit.com yourdomain.com 7) Go to the control panel of your domain registrar and change your nameservers there to ns3.dnsexit.com ns4.dnsexit.com ns1.dnsexit.com ns2.dnsexit.com 8) Try reconnecting your ppp session and follow step 6 again to verify, if your script is running properly. regards, Nishant -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
