Has anyone got a URL for the debs for a console clock app?
I'm thinking xdaliclock sort of thing, but not under X: using the whole
screen is important . . .
. . so "while [ : ]; do date; done" wouldn't be helpful. . :-)
cheers!

Hi all-
I'm NFS sharing /usr from one box to a number of other, with the aim of
having only to do one apt update to the server machine (when I finally
get my 28.8 modem working ... :-) and so as not to waste disk space on
the client machines.
I'd just like to know what anyone else in this situati

I'm about 2 hours away from getting my SOs new (well, third-hand)
desktop machine up and running. Because she's a fairly non-technical
sort, I want to give her the friendliest DE/WM I can - and I'm guessing
that means something Gnome 2.4-y, which I'm only really going to get in

Doing a bit of advocay, I've managed to convince a friend to try Debian
on his newly put-together PC for a bit, while he saves up the £165 WinXP

Unfortunately, I'm not doing a great job. I did a netinstall from
debian-installer (12-01-04, FWIW, and it *rocks*!), but can't seem to

Just a quickie -
Is there any difference between woody-proposed-updates and

In other words, if I have stable and security in sources.list, am I
missing out on /anything/ that's been updated by not having
proposed-updates in there too?

Fairly OT for d-u, but I'm wondering what people use to take notes for
courses.
I'm studying T171 with the Open University (it's a compulsory course on
the way to their BSc in PeeCees), and a lot of the assessment is writing
up what you thought about various resources (websites, reports, etc)
[Sorry for the cross-post - I think it's applicable to both -isp and
-user.]
I need to offer imap, imapssl and pop3ssl services. FWIW, imap would be
localhost only, but -ssl services would be publically accessible.
My reading thus far leads me towards Courier-imap with Exim 4

I've installed ClamAV+Exim4 to reject viruses at SMTP time. d-u's
headers don't seem to mention anything about /virus/ scanning (as
opposed to SpamAssassin), so I guess I'm ok asking this question here:
The whole point of having virus scanning while the sender still has an

Please remember you're talking to /volunteers/
Use something in
protocol (i.e. configured in Exim), perhaps, and be /really/ careful
about blocking entire /24s. The collateral damage could be more than
you intended.
