A lot of people asked me after the meeting for various web addresses of
software mentioned, so I've added links for everything that was
discussed (and some that I intended to discuss, but didn't get to) on
the meeting page.

Plus a brief summary of everything.
There's a WLUG meeting tonight:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
7:30pm, TW.2.05 (http://www.wlug.org.nz/TW).
Linux gaming: James and Bruce will present some Games that run on Linux, either natively or under Windows compatibility wrappers like Wine.

There's a Waikato Linux Users Group meeting on Monday:

Two weeks ago, I discovered my harddrive was dead. The bios won't
even detect it :(
I tried to restore my backups onto another computer from a couple of
tar.gz files on a USB drive only to find errors when gunzipping them.
:(. I can get about 1/3 files off.)
However, I notice that somehow I made an image of the whole harddrive
(12 partitions) and it stored on my USB drive too as /kubuntu/dev/hda
I tried doing the
mount /media/disk/kubuntu/dev/hda -o loop /mnt/hda
(after making /mnt/hda first)
but it (not unsuprisingly) can't figure out the partitions.of find a
file system. There were all ext2 or ext3 from memory
Is there a way I can mount this image? Do I need the partition
tables? would ubuntu dapper have made a copy and put them anywhere? I
have /etc and /var from the disk too. This /dev/hda is about 25G so I
am wondering if I have a suitable image. And maybe I can recoved the
photos etc.
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.
Cheers
Chris
Does anyone know of a email server, preferably free, that can be used
in a training environment? Current requirements are POP3 and SMTP
access. All email is to be confined to a single domain (the classroom
- not registered) and access to the (external) Internet should be
blocked.
It appears there could be a fair amount of work in setting up
"standard"software for this limited task, but I would prefer something
that most people would find simple to install to maintain.
