One viable solution is photobucket.com. They have free accounts for image hosting. Or, if you want to get some geeky experience points, you can apt-get install vsftpd, copy the image you want to share to /home/ftp, set your firewall to allow access to port 21 from the Internet, then post your current IP address so people can just ftp in and see the image. Granted, most ISPs don't actually like for their users to host their own servers, but frankly, if it is just a temporary thing there shouldn't be any problem. And you can always use the excuse that you did it for "educational" purposes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
