Hi,

 

I am trying to install a pop3 server in debian 5. This will fetch the mails from the ISP to the local clients and should forward the mails from the local clients to ISP.

 

Earlier I have tried with Postfix combination with dovecat and fetchmail. And sometimes They worked too.

 

If you have any successful installation like this, pls let me know.

 

With advance thanks,

K.Ramanathan

Quote:Last week, all the headlines were about the advancements in the Linux netbook at the Computex trade show, and in all the hub-bub, we all missed that Dell also introduced a great, full-sized notebook at an amazing price: the Dell Inspiron 15n. 

Or, at least, I missed it. Fortunately, I was given a call over the weekend and told to give it a look. While I haven't had a chance to get my hands on one, it sounds wonderful.

 

The Dell Inspiron 15n comes with Ubuntu 8.10 pre-installed. Lots of computers do that these days. What's different is that the 15n is a full-sized notebook with a netbook price-tag of $299.

I wanted to have a Windows virtual machine that I could use on my Fedora 10 laptop, I only have linux on this laptop and i don't want to dual boot,so this required that I install some virtualization packages and to go virtual.

 

I'm documenting how I did this so others can learn and hopefully they will be motivated to try it themselves. Fedora offers two methods for virtualisation, one is for virtualising Linux (xen) and the other one can do non-Linux os's as well as Linux (qemu). For a detailed and technical wiki on this subject please see here.

 

1. Install the virtualization packages.

 

Open a terminal and as root do the following:-

How incomplete? So incomplete that, among other things , you won't yet be able to view YouTube videos, change your privacy settings, set your default search provider, or even print.

 

Meanwhile, we'll get back to trying to get Google Chrome on these platforms stable enough for a beta release as soon as possible!

Hi!

 

I created a launcher for rdesktop but I can't find a suitable icon image for it. Is there a specific one for rdesktop?

 

Thanks

The world's third-largest PC vendor plans to roll out Moblin Linux across a range of machines, including its Aspire One nettops, as well as regular laptop and desktop PCs, the company announced at Computex in Taipei.

I have absolutely no experience with DNS servers. I understand the principles behind DNS, but the perceived 'scariness' of configuring bind and different zones and such is quite a big issue.

 

I did want to do some experimentation with DNS servers, though, and I've found a very useful and simple tutorial to set up a simple 'forwarding only' server.

 

The tutorial is designed for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (and written by Red Hat), so it worked exactly as in the tutorial when I followed it on my CentOS 5.3 system.

FSM has an article about improvements coming our way in X.org. "There's more coming our way than 'mere' graphical goodness: Xorg developers are about to unleash upon us more performance and ease of use than X ever knew before. Not only that, the work being done now will allow older hardware to perform better and new hardware to be supported faster."
