  1. Re:I Disagree. on MSNBC: Offices Remain Spam Free Zones · · Score: 1

    Use a USENET server for that.

    We discarded that famous all@company.com address in favor of several internal newsgroups for all the projects and working groups. People need to get used to the way newsgroups work, but they do.

  2. GNU Privacy Project on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    The GNU Privacy Project provides gpg and gpa for Windows. It integrates with Mozilla using the Enigmail plugin.

  3. SMTP Error Messages on New Mail RFCs Released · · Score: 1

    In my experience some MTAs just drop the error message they got from speaking to another MTA and inserting whatever they think is appropriate. This is bad. An error message like: "553 Open relay problem - see http://www.orbs.org/..." turns into "500 user unknown" which is definitely not the case. And the sender blames the MTA of the receiver...

    IMHO this should not happen.

    Just do it!

    Put soffice into your .xsession and enjoy ;-)

  5. Re:Beowulf != Supercomputer. So? on Export Controls on Beowulf? · · Score: 1

    That's right. I worked on an university project that dealt with a N-body simulation. We had implemented the solution using the C library MPI, which does message passing around the nodes. The task was to reduce the passed messages. The same code ran on a 26 node Cray supercomputer and on my 2 node home (not beowulf) linux cluster. That was real scaling code ;-)

  6. Old thing on New Business Card Rescue CDs · · Score: 2

    innominate have them, too. It's a debian 20MB rescue disk. I think it looks cooler than the one from linuxcare, because it's orange and really creditcard size...

  7. Re:Respond on Ask Slashdot: Linux Fax Servers w/ WinTel Clients? · · Score: 1
    The original Respond is on http://www.boerde.de/~horstf/. It's in german, but you see the link to the software.


    Respond is a Great Thing (TM) and works very fine with mgetty+sendfax and samba.

  8. Re:Not the way I do it. on CNN's anti-FUD on Linux experience · · Score: 1

    I agree with that.

    At home I have NFS and fast clients, at university I have a thin client ( i486) and am not allowed to participate the NFS, so I am using X redirection.

    You got the choice with Linux.
