An interesting item at The Register. :huh:

can a group mod stick this into my other_linux_distro's.... 

Where I will sticky it!!!!!

Done.

An interesting overview - definitely not feeble. :)

you should be able to fix up your keys.

for bad signatures in security updates,you can import the security team keys with:

# gpg --recv-keys --keyserver pgp.mit.edu 0x22458A98

I haven't had any problems with the updates themselves, but even with the keys installed, I get bad signatures with the email advisories. :huh:

Read it at The Register.

The news just broke that the Venezuelan government is planning to migrate to Open Source.

 

See The Register for more.

Hmmm... someone beat me to it... Spiny?  :deal:

I gave you several minutes - I couldn't wait any longer...

Ooops. I accidentally posted this in the wrong topic. Anyway to move it to hardware?

Done. B)

 

Welcome to the board. :)

i will be glad to give a hand in french :-)

Added. B)

My mother tongue is Portuguese. I am able to translate from English to Portuguese.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks, Kabr, I've added you to the list. :)

 

I suggest that an admin closes this thread now. The latest request for translators is here; and any discussion of its value can continue in Forum Discussion, if necessary.

How about Linux Magazine? :unsure:

 

This is the US version - there is a British magazine with the same name.

spinynorman: could you change the FAQ links back until we hear an *official* response?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Done. ;)

The Register says that the vote has been delayed until this afternoon, so there may be some political manoeuvring going on... :unsure:

BigC - I have merged your latest thread with the original one on the same subject. If you feel you're being ignored after a couple of days, just post briefly in the same thread to get back to the top of the pile. :)

I've updated the links in the urpmi FAQ. B)

As you're now after technical help, I've moved the thread from Talk-Talk. :)

The Register is offering free tools to make data hygiene more convenient:

 

The WipeSwap script will automatically detect your swap device, stop it, wipe it securely, and re-create it. This usually takes only 20-30 minutes. The swap partition is a great accumulator of unforeseen and/or forgotten data, and should be wiped regularly. This makes it easy and safe.

 

The WipeFree scripts will securely wipe un-allocated disk space, where the remnants of deleted files may remain. Again, this merely simplifies the process.

News.com reports the conclusion of a four-year research project conducted by code-analysis company Coverity. The project found 985 bugs in the 5.7 million lines of code that make up the latest version of the Linux kernel. A typical commercial program of similar size usually has more than 5,000 flaws or defects, according to data from Carnegie Mellon University.

Welcome to the board, and thanks for posting your solution. :)

Thanks, humaneasy and nmsa, I've added you both.

 

Just noticed the list of languages doesn't include the native word for Japanese; that would be 'nihongo'. Though any Japanese person who could read it in the Roman alphabet can probably understand the word 'Japanese' too :)

Added. B)

(Spiny thx for doing my job, Ive been really ill this week.  )

Welcome back.

hari78 - I've merged your latest post into this thread. Tips & Tricks is not the forum for asking new questions - it's for posting tips and tricks. ;)

EWeek has a review of Point & Click Linux! and the new edition of Linux for Dummies.

I seem to be talking to myself on this topic    so

if anybody wants me to just shut up, let me know and

I will take it offline. I'm just sitting here playing with my

mental blocks. 

Don't be discouraged - at least you're providing a clear path for those who may follow you...

 

On an unrelated point - why do you have such wide margins? :huh:

Marco - I have merged your two threads, so they can be answered together. :)
