Preferred mail client?
by Kyle Sexton 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

What mail client are people using in Linux nowadays? Mutt, Gnus, Thunderbird, Pine, mail, kmail, evolution, sylpheed? Post what you're using and why you think it's the best! Me, I'm currently using Thunderbird, but I always make my way back to Gnus eventually. -- Thanks, Kyle Sexton

Installing Linux to a 4gb usb microdrive
by Oren Beck 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Last night I got an Excalibur EXC4:4 gb usb microdrive . At $19.99 it was a must buy of sorts. One intended assignment is a portable bootable Linux drive. Anyone want to show off their "Least Steps" methods to install Puppy or other small Linux onto this? Both for someone who does NOT have a linux box and /or from Kubuntu 7.04. Thanks in advance -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

TOR and Linux -in the real world- on lower end hardware?
by Oren Beck 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

The short end of this is a question raised about traveling folks using TOR from Campgrounds on low end hardware. Seems a non-trivial query too as there are a growing number of "Full Timers" that live in mobile housing and are politically desiring to support TOR. The overview of the query comes down to this- NOT needing a "Read the FAQ" storm folks- does anyone here have real hands on experience with TOR at all? Then the next element is running TOR on lower end Linux boxes -under 1 ghz P4's under 1gig ram at all? And if TOR will not be a performance impact on that class of systems- what then of running on Wifi chains of 3 links average? Example of RV park network typical chain being- DSL>Firewall Router>1st air hop>USB "dongle">linux box as BEST case with often several additional "Repeaters" My stepdaughter reports seeing an average of 3 AP chains in typical parks as a real example. ALL this data to ask the question then if TOR is practical for RV based travellers to both use and participate in? -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

Greetings, Any ideas on things (quotes, phrases, images, etc.) you would like to see on printed (silk-screened) t-shirts, but haven't seen elsewhere. My sister-in-law is expanding her t-shirt company online and I thought polling this crowd might get some great ideas. Thanks! Steven

by Ty Unes 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

I found myself "laid-off" from my job on December 17th. and don't anticipate going back. So, I'm looking for work, preferably on the Kansas side, in Linux administration. I have a good resume and references. Anyone know of a good lead that they would email me about? I would really appreciate it greatly.

Life with no mail client-here's my comments on how and why.
by Oren Beck 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

The last time I used a "mail client" it was for an employee account . And only for company required issues. The experience confirmed the insanity of Outlook. Before that I used PINE running on my AT/286 thru a dial shell session. Which got replaced by webmails beginning with the PRE-M$ incarnation of Hotmail Thence to Operamail as it played nice with both Win and Lin versions of Opera Browser. Currently Gmail also shows me life with no mail client can be easy. Yes, there are some issues of backup and dubious degrees of "privacy decay" have been stated. But since my life is lacking the drama needing worry about privacy in mundane emails?. -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645
