What about IPSEC

On: Peer-To-Peer Encrypted E-mail

peer ro peer I would have thought that IPSEC would have been better

and if it's email it might be better to use jabber
over IPSEC

just a thought

Yes and will helix-update work? didn't last time I tryed

Quotas don't seem to work in beta

On: What's Coming In Red Hat 7.0

When you install redhat 6.9 fdisk puts labels on the disks and these show up in fstab something like

LABEL=/ / ext2 default

but when you do a "quota" you get bad lable or something lie that.

I hope that will be fixed

RPM --rebuild

On: Is It Time To Change RPM?

One thing I would like to see is the ability to
do a rpm --rebuild target

eg rpm --rebuild php.src.rpm postres

I don't have LDAP, imap and all the other stuff that the rpm --rebuild php has. And its a pain
editing the spec file

is this possible now?

The big problem is th A: drive

On: Making Linux Easy With Eazel's Andy Hertzfeld

"user - I want to save something to A: drive"
thats the bigest problem we have

its hard for them to mount and umount
pity the old floppy drive without the button gone out the window

I still think "eject /dev/fd0" was the best

they just want to stick the disk in and copy files

it get no better with LS120's

Re:Think different? (Debian GNU/Linux)

On: Making Linux Easy With Eazel's Andy Hertzfeld

I use linux mainly and I also have a FreeBSD
machine

the thing I like about the BSD machine

is cvs-up

and the ports colection
cd /usr/ports/(something you need)
make && make install && make clean
RPM's are ok but hard to patch
and Red Hat is very slow

Re:Easy kernel upgrading?

On: Linux 2.2.15 Released

a better way
first make sure you /etc/lilo.conf look some thing lie this

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
default=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda2

image=/boot/vmlinuz.old
label=linux.old
read-only
root=/dev/hda2

yours will be a bit differant but the main thing is the linux.old entry

then cd /usr/src/linux
cp ..//.conf .
make oldconfig
make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && make install && /sbin/lilo && reboot

then you can go get a coffee
