The library wants the exact same distro... crazy as it may seem. rhl 3.0.5. I think I've found the book and cd in the states at a 2nd hand book shop but it'll take weeks before my kids will be able to use the library. they may have to wait. $699 is why I'm running away from microsoft Thanks for your help. > > > it is.

redhat linux unleashed
by Gene Smith 16 Sep '03

16 Sep '03

Hi guys, When I was just a newbie (still am) I got Redhat linux unleashed [kit] / Kamran Husain, Timothy Parker. 1996, from the library here in Hamilton. It's a big book with a cd. It was fine and dandy until I took it back and the lady noticed that the cd was cracked... I don't know how, but it is. So I was wondering if any one has a copy of the cd or knows where to get one cheap as they want me to pay $100 for a new set. Help, Thanks, Gene. _________________________________________________________________ Gaming galore at http://xtramsn.co.nz/gaming !

Apart from the CD being cracked, it would be horribly outdated :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: Gene Smith [mailto:geniusgene2001@hotmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, 16 September 2003 20:46 > To: wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz > Subject: [wlug] redhat linux unleashed > > > Hi guys, > > When I was just a newbie (still am) I got Redhat linux > unleashed [kit] / > Kamran Husain, Timothy Parker. 1996, from the library here in > Hamilton.

port 80

RH 9, running squid and Dan's Guardian. How to block port 80? Students are bypassing squid and getting strait out to the net. IPchains was set up originally, but has lost it settings and know does not want to work.

If your internet router is a Cisco 831/837 or upwards, you could implement WCCP (WCCP is in the Wiki Pages). WCCP is not supported on the 827, 806 or downwards. That would then mean that if the students are bypassing the proxy, they would still be going through the proxy. In fact you won't need to configure proxy settings on each client. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Cole [mailto:terry@cole.gen.nz] Sent: Monday, 15 September 2003 17:46 To: Wlug Subject: [wlug] port 80 RH 9, running squid and Dan's Guardian.

Why use the WikiWord for a Wiki page on the page itself?
by Glyn Webster 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

Why are mny people using the WikiWord for a Wiki page on the page itself? For example the COBOL page has four [COBOL] links it it. I can't see the point. Is there a cunning reason for doing this that I've missed, or is it just habit? -- Glyn Webster ~ Simplicity Himself. ~ glyn(a)wave.co.nz ~ http://tiddly-pom.com
