Hi,

I often felt that Google will come to my rescue whenever my memory fails me.
A few days ago, it didn't. I was searching for a swiss knife for
project managers and couldn't find it. (I did but after half an hour
using Yahoo in this case.)

I do not think there is any hope of improving my memory, so I had
better use some aids.

By the way, I was searching for "Faces", which is about the only
project management tool I have enjoyed exploring.

A year or so ago, I had explored mind mapping software. In fact I had
found Freemind quite useful for helping me create some job profiles,
which I had to give to an hr consultant.

Now, I have started to use it to keep track of the experimentations I
plan to do and keep pointers to the status/outcome.  Hopefully, a year
from now, I will still be able to find Faces again or tell someone how
easy it is to write a servlet using jython.

Incidentally, it may be very useful for students for making their
study plans, especially for GATE/GRE.

The nicest thing is that it does not feel like documentation or planning :)

Anil

Hi,

Now that I have a couple of systems at home, I wanted to make sure
that I was not downloading the upgrades multiple times. I am using
Fedora and Yum but similar ideas could be useful for all.

The most appropriate option is to have the local repository and the
cache directory (with keep cache true) on one system and share it.

NFS exports will take care of it on the server (e.g. amd). The local
repository directory, e.g. /var/fedora, can be a read only export but
the cache directory, /var/cache/yum by default, has to be read and
write and should not squash root.

On the client side, it is not appropriate to mount these all the time
in fstab. They are needed only occasionally.

The best option is Automount. The easiest way is to create 2 entries
in /etc/auto.misc, e.g.
fedora          -ro,soft,intr           amd:/var/fedora
yum             -rw,soft,intr           amd:/var/cache/yum

Now, if any application accesses /misc/fedora or /misc/yum, these will
be mounted.
DO NOT CREATE fedora or yum directories in /misc.

Incidentally, I had a 'tough' time when a second disk on my system
failed and the os wouldn't boot because of the entries in /etc/fstab.
Now, whenever something is needed occasionally, I am using automount
only, e.g.
suse    -fstype=ext3            :/dev/sda3

This will allow me to access the partition with Suse installed on it,
when I need it.
Using a softlink /SUSE to /misc/suse allows me to point and click as well.

Regards
Anil

Hello All,

Greetings for the New Year from LINUX For You magazine team!

As you all know, we run a section called 'Opinions' in LFY where we
pose a question to the community and industry and publish the
responses (selected by our technical editors) in the magazine.

The forthcoming issue of LFY would carry a story on the following:

Is Linux secure?

The story would focus on how the community view the security aspect of
Linux. Is it that the very aspect of 'being open' makes it vulnerable
to attacks and insecurity? To what extent according to you, security
plays a role in people choosing Linux/OSS to other proprietary software?

We value your suggestions and comments. So, any idea you would like to
share with us is most welcome.

Please write to us at sujata.banerjee@... before 14th April,2007.

The best responses would be published in the May 2007 issue of LFY.

Looking forward to your responses.

Thanks,

LFY Team

We need more info about what all errors you got while trying to
configure your connection.And how is your adsl modem configured.
There are 2 ways to go about configuring an adsl account , either you
can configure the modem to directly connect to the ISP (in your case
BSNL) to authenticate your username and passwd or you can configure your
Linux OS to make the connection to the ISP.

You can also try out the following links for more information:

DATAONE BROADBAND (using HUAWEI smartAX 800MT) configured despite all
