I intend to package VMailer (Wietse Venema's mail transport agent, see
http://www.porcupine.org/vmailer). In keeping with Wietse's desires,
the package will not be available until he releases it...

I bought a lot of things from Comp USA on rebate and they didn't send me
any of them (rebates) until I called them. They told me "their rebate
department had some problems." Anyway that means they lost most of the
rebates, or at least they lost the ones I sent. So you gotta call them

well one day I openned up my mailbox and found a nice surprise, though it
took me awhile to realize that this was a rebate I sent off about 8 months
ago. I think theres a 1-800 number on the rebate form somewhere...but you
already sent that off :)

They have included the FAT32 support. Many users need to mount
their win95 partition. Many can't even install without support, as they
need to install from a FAT32 partition. I had this problem installing on a
machine a few months ago. You had to patch 2.0.33 to get it.

I was just poking around a bit and realized that xfstt (my package)
uses as a default port 7100 to listen for incomming connections
I noticed that this is also the default for xfs!
I would supose that it is not very common to run both xfs and xfstt on the

Hi fellows,
I just read on LWN the short story about Bruce's
Linux Standard Base. Both Caldera and Redhat have a guy in
