Hi guys.
Here's a scam that's been doing the rounds. One of my friends in Dunedin received such a phone call:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jul/18/phone-scam-india-call-centres
One of the commenters below the article said he was runnng Linux ... and the caller said that may have caused the problem with his Windows!
If they ring me, I might just say something in broken English along the
lines of, " Sorry, I can't download your nasty fraudalent expensive malware on my
broken abacus, should I try the garbage disposal unit instead?"

Hi.
I would like to avoid setting up a file server as back-end to my web
server cluster, as this would give a single point of failure. Give we
are running a iSCSI array of 8 nodes with redundancy and replication
etc, I would like to take advantage of this.
It's the first time I'll be working with iSCSI from within Linux. A)
is it possible and b) if it is, how do I best configure multiple
machine to use the same iSCSI LUN / data store, as a "common share " .
I assume I need a more advance file system that ext3.
Is there a howto on this ?
I have found anything on google yet .. still digging....
Thanks

Hi WLUGers
My wife has an old PC circa 2000. It's still in working order. included are a monitor, cables, box (holding hard disc, CD-ROM and floppy disk), keyboard and mouse. OS may be Windows 98 and also may be loaded with Office 2000. Haven't booted it for a while.
This machine is free to a good home. For anyone who may want to play around with an old PC
Let me know if you're interested or have any questions.
