  1. I know some of you have 3.1rc6 installed (DragonMage) ... have any of you managed to get rid of that annoying console message during KDM ????

     

    are there any other glitches I have found yet that you have?

     

    I'm using texstar RPMS

  3. Mandrake is still trading and so I will continue supporting, and as soon a pre-orders for 9.1 come out ... I'll buy it.

     

    if Mandrake does turn into a volunteer only organisation ... then I'll support that too.

    every OS has its little quirks, and Ive spent 3 years learning about the Mandrake ones (and I'm still learning) I'd hate to have start all over again ..... and which OS would I change to?? .... definately not Suse or RH .... maybe Slack, maybe Debian (probably debian) ... or maybe support the NZ efforts and switch to yoper (http://www.yoper.com)

    but Mandrake is my OS of choice ... and I hope they continue, even if it is a volunteer OS ... with people cannonfodder, we are sure to succeed

    p.s. cannonfodder !!! you must have a job or a life or something :shock: ... you're not here so much anymore :D

  4. My idea.

    Use Mandrake MNF .. setup with your external proxy (it asks you during setup if you want to use a proxy)

    then configure Proxy Authentication on the MNF box, so access is username / password restricted.

    I haven't setup Proxy on my MNF ... but I've read the docs, and it all looks pretty easy

  5. :)

    I've got a webserver running at home now ... so I want to do some speed tests etc.

    so follow this link http://loudas.com and tell me how it goes (response time etc)

     

    my setup

    2x desktops (1 P4 1.4 and 1 dual P3 1gig) on lan 192.168.x.x (Mandrake Workstation DVD)

    1x web and mail server (celeron 733) on DMZ 10.0.x.x and 202.27.218.97 (MDK D/load edition)

    1x firewall / router (celeron 333) with 3 NIC's --> WAN(202.27.218.96), LAN(192.168.x.x), DMZ(10.0.x.x) (Mandrake MNF)

     

    2x DNS servers 202.27.218.96 (ns1.loudas.com) and 202.27.218.97 (ns2.loudas.com)

    1x Webserver 202.27.218.97 (www.loudas.com)

    1x POP3 server 202.27.218.97 (pop3.loudas.com)

    1x SMTP server ...with no relaying :twisted: 202.27.218.97 (smtp.loudas.com)

     

    and notice a completely Mandrake environment :D ... and the wife even likes it !!!!!!

     

    Mandrake MNF is Masq'ing 192.168.x.x as 202.27.218.96

    all services are closed at the firewall except HTTP,HTTPS,POP3,SMTP,DNS (which are forwarded to the websever 202.27.218.97) and DNS ACCEPT'ed from 202.27.218.96 (so I can have Primary and secondary DNS)

    I've done a relay test on POSTFIX and all is well :P

    my bandwidth tests say my connection is 300kbits (which is pretty good for NZ) ... I'm getting download speeds of 65kbps (which is OK)

    I just want to know how it responds from outside.

     

    all this over a 15 kilometer wireless link !!!!!

  6. strange :?:

    I have 2 setups ...

    1. .htacess and .htpasswd in the protected directory

    1. .htaccess and .htpasswd in a seperate directory with require valid user setup in commonhttpd.conf

    both work fine.

     

    if it can't find the .htpasswd then put it in the same directory as .htacess, change the path in .htaccess then try it again.

    if it can read it, then it IS a permissions thing and you're on the right track

  7. I prefer a good ol' desktop environment as well.

    but I've been using screen for a few years now (when an uber::geek show me how to use it) and it rocks !!!

    the detach is function is VERY cool

    example:

    I'm at work and want to compile a new xfree86, but stoopid people keep closing the window and I have to start again

    start screen --> start X compile --> detach screen

    come back tomorrow, re-attach screen, and its all finished !!! cool 8)
