Hi all,
I have successfully installed Slackware on both my test machine and my
laptop. My test machine has a parallel Windows partition, and my laptop
used to be running Windows.
However, I have the impression that on both machines, the quality of the
graphical image (under KDE) is not as good as with Windows on exactly
the same hardware.
My basic question is: what is the most likely cause:
-1- the fonts used -> i.e. would using the Windows TTF fonts make a
large difference ?
-2- the configuration for the monitor? For the desktop, I have put into
xorg.conf the values I found in my monitor's book; for the laptop, I
couldn't find the information yet so I left the defaults.
-3- the graphics card driver? The desktop has a ATI Radeon 7500, and I
use the X.org "radeon" driver. For the laptop, I ended up using "vesa",
short of anything specific available for an ATI 3D Rage LT Pro.
Any hints are welcome.

Hi,
I just stumbled upon some german documentation for fwbuilder:
http://kris.koehntopp.de/artikel/fwbuilder/
That presentation is also available as PDF.
In case you want to configure some iptables packet filtering,
without learning all the iptables details... it's a nice
somewhat CheckPoint-like GUI.

Hello
I'm looking for a little prog, that shos me network traffic like this little
monitor in W2k (Excuse for the misword). Something like an applet in KDE to
show in Panel if there is network traffic, nothing else (Sthg like xnettload,
more or less for KDE).

Hi,
for those interested in all (ok, many) aspects of networking
with Linux, and who'd like some german documentation - have
a look at the current special edition of Linux Magazin
"network edition".
It comes with a Debian 3.1 Sarge DVD, features articles on
networking services, physical interfaces, monitoring etc.
http://www.linux-magazin.de/Produkte/lms_2004_3.html
I got myself a copy (online order from friday, came today),
I'll bring it to tomorrow's meeting in case someone wants
to check it out.
Greetings, Eric
Hi,
I've got a strange kind of problem on Debian testing with
Mozilla and printing (cups).
I often want to print somewhat longer documents, but without
wasting too much dead trees. Therefore I print into a file,
do a psnup -2 to get two pages per sheet of paper, and print
the resulting postscript document.
When using Mozilla this way, the original postscript document
is fine, but the result of the psnup -2 is unusable, as the
fonts remain at the original size, i.e. the lower and right
parts of the pages get lost - no proper resizing of the page,
all in all. I verified this both with gv and gs (which
sometimes show slightly different results depending on the
postscript document, especially with graphics).
This same problem does not appear with postscript documents
generated from OpenOffice for instance.
Does anyone have an idea on how to go about fixing that
particular problem? I'm not overly experienced with printing,
so...
Greets & TIA, Eric
Hi,
the next LinuxDays preparation meeting is this friday afternoon
at 14:30 at the CRP. I won't be able to be there, so in case
someone can replace me...
The subject of the meeting will be the courses' subjects, with
a little agenda (description of the contents), and proposed
speakers.
There will also be propositions for the frame program (art, music,
robotics, ...).
So, we need to decide very quickly now what LiLux will propose for
courses, and write up at least the agendas (a few lines describing
the contents), and write up the names of people who can present
these courses.
Note for those who didn't see this before (I guess I wrote that
only to the admin list until now): the next LinuxDays will be
divided in two parts - 1) a business track at SI Expo, which
will consist in a series of presentations by some companies
and 2) two days of courses plus "villages" about different
themes, consisting of stands with computers where people can
come ask questions and try stuff out (i.e. no more expo and
presentations like the previous years) - this will be end of
january 2005.
So for LiLux:
The idea will be to have a "basic" course for beginners (really
basic, don't go into installation or CLI confusion, just using
an already installed system) - this we have partly prepared
with the basic course from the LinuxDays 2003 and the LinuxFest
2004.
Then, we should split up the "advanced" course from last year
into several shorter courses regarding different services.
This shouldn't be too hard I guess - any takers?
If we have the energy and manpower, we could also propose new
stuff - any proposals, people willing to do such stuff?
I think it is important to be realistic in our propositions,
or else we'll be really stretched in getting things done. We
can do quite some stuff, especially if more people are willing
to help out. Please join the effort! If we start now, we can
get some nice courses done - if we start late, it will get
painful. Preparing courses does take time to do properly.
Greetings & thanks in advance, Eric
I am checking the excellent news site www.theregister.co.uk almost every
day. Today I saw this interesting news article:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/07/05/sender_authentication
Now, what a coincidence! This article matches our recent discussion!
The funny thing: It's probably coming sooner that even I expected in my
wildest dreams ;-) Microsoft will also play an important role.
Here is an extract of the article
<extract>
Sender ID is expected to be relatively simple to deploy, requiring
little ongoing maintenance. In essence, all you need to do is publish
the IP addresses of approved outgoing email MTAs in your domain name
records. When your users send email, the recipient can make sure the
mail is coming from authorized IP addresses by checking the DNS for the
domain in the "From:" field.
