Re: Setting up a Debian server on a Windows network
Would you recommend using a GUI tool at all? I'm wondering if it might be better to develop a deeper understanding of things, by working at the most basic level possible. An interface like Webmin will help you learn quicker, just like a file manager, midnight commander comes to mind, will get you u...

Re: Setting up a Debian server on a Windows network
SWAT sounds strange. Why would I want to use a web interface? Isn't it possible to have an interface on the server machine? To clarify, our server is a Pc too, I'm using it right now to type this. It's sitting at my feet right here in the office, not a remote machine. I use Webmin these days to adm...

Re: Are you with me?
Lou, 5 pages of replies, hit a nerve did we? What drew me towards Linux was the feeling of control. I controlled my machine, I held the source in my hand. With this control comes my choice of what to run, Debian of course, and minimal GUI's like Enlightenment at first and now I'm keen on Xfce4. My c...

Re: monitoring temperature?
For lm-sensors, I've always used the deb at Debian.
If you get it going, a nice app for a headless machine is phpSysInfo, though you'll have to be running Apache with PHP enabled.

Re: Can Firefox Add-ons Be Possibly Dangerous?
@hcgtv: I no longer use an ad blocking extension but use the hosts file instead. It seems to work just as well and is one less thing to load into memory and slow down the browser launching.

Re: Can Firefox Add-ons Be Possibly Dangerous?
I use only two extensions in Firefox, Adblock Plus and Web Developer. Adblock Plus not so much because I hate ads, but because ads have become malicious in nature of late. Web Developer helps me with the design of my sites, it's an integral part of my routine. Both of these extensions have source re...

Re: Future of Linux on the desktop - I am worried
This thread just really brings to air the deep stink buried within linux zealots and fanboys. Roy, We're not all zealots and fanboys. I don't run Debian to prove a point, I run it because I like the way it runs my home server. My primary GUI interface is Windows XP. There was a time that I went Win...

Re: Microsoft is screwed
p2p is OK in theory for this kind of delivery but when the nation is on very asymmetric connections with lousy upload speeds and uncooperative or even punitive ISPs then the whole thing bogs down, just like any p2p network where everyone is in effect a net downloader. You can't offload the bandwidt...

Re: Microsoft is screwed
I don't care how many streaming servers a media company may have, it can't scale to reach the kind of audience they would want to attract and they know it. I don't know but they do that: Netflix and cable companies... Here's a good firsthand writeup of the situation: http://www.breakitdownblog.com/...

Re: Microsoft is screwed
There was a survey/claim by the media industry here that 7 million people use p2p. It was exposed as an exaggeration and an invention but even if it were true that would still mean that many times more than that have broadband but don't use it for p2p. The people using p2p are technologically minde...

If you doubt that people want HD look at p2p release boards, you can get pretty much any HD release now in H264 in a Matroska container. And it looks brilliant.

Re: How to 'resolve' domain name to ip address?
You have to:
a) Update each PC's hosts file.
b) Add the address at the local router level.
c) Use something like DynDNS.
