Subject: Request For Discussion: comp.os.linux.trustix
Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2000 12:24:03 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
unmoderated group comp.os.linux.trustix
This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation of a
world-wide unmoderated Usenet newsgroup comp.os.linux.trustix.
This is not a Call for Votes (CFV); you cannot vote at this time.
Procedural details are below.
Newsgroup line:
comp.os.linux.trustix A Linux distribution: Trustix
RATIONALE: comp.os.linux.trustix
The rationale for this group follows that the need for a
newsgroup where a user of the Linux distribution: Trustix
can go and ask any question or answer any question pertaining to Trustix.
Trustix is a Linux distribution devoted soley to Servers. Since this
Linux distribution is devoted to Servers I believe it will become very
popular amongst administrators because most Linux distributions contain
files that Servers do not need. Currently, anybody who uses Trustix
does not have any newsgroup to go to. So with that I hope to launch
a newsgroup dedicated to this distribution.
CHARTER: comp.os.linux.trustix
comp.os.linux.trustix is intended to be for the discussion of
topics related to the Trustix distribution. Topics may include discussion
about Trustix, Linux in general, or even the validity of Linux in the world
of MS Windows.
END CHARTER.
PROCEDURE:
This is a request for discussion, not a call for votes. In this phase
of the process, any potential problems with the proposed newsgroups
should be raised and resolved. The discussion period will continue
for a minimum of 21 days (starting from when the first RFD for this
proposal is posted to news.announce.newgroups), after which a Call For
Votes (CFV) may be posted by a neutral vote taker if the discussion
warrants it. Please do not attempt to vote until this happens.
All discussion of this proposal should be posted to news.groups.
This RFD attempts to comply fully with the Usenet newsgroup creation
guidelines outlined in "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" and "How
to Format and Submit a New Group Proposal". Please refer to these
documents (available in news.announce.newgroups) if you have any
questions about the process.
DISTRIBUTION:
This RFD has been posted to the following groups:
news.announce.newgroups, news.groups,
comp.os.linux.announce
Proponent: Chris Wallace <wanpipe@yahoo.com>

Subject: Mohawk v0.1 - The Next Generation of TkApache, an Apache GUI
Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2000 12:14:07 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
It's the next generation of TkApache - completely re-written from the
ground up in C, using the GTK+/GNOME GUI tools to be faster and more
feature-rich. It's... MOHAWK!
Set up your Apache server with a GUI instead of a text file. Remotely
manage, tune and control. Watch it's performance. Timed starts and
restarts, once or periodically. It slices, it dices...

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I'm pleased to announce the availability of my latest book, _Linux
Hardware Handbook_ (ISBN 0-672-31918-7). I wrote Linux Hardware
Handbook with an eye to helping both new and old Linux users locate and
evaluate hardware suitable for use in Linux, and to help readers get
the most out of existing hardware. For each type of hardware, the book
covers the fundamentals of the hardware's operation and interaction
with Linux, where to find drivers, and what classes of products work
well (and poorly) with Linux. The book takes a "teach the reader to
fish" approach to the subject, providing information that helps you
make informed hardware decisions, rather than simply listing hardware
by name, which would result in quick obsolescence of the book and the
information it contains.
The book's chapters are as follows:
Part I. Core Systems
1. The Central Processing Unit
2. Motherboards
3. Memory
4. Case and Power Supply
Part II. Storage
5. Hard Disks
6. Removable Disks
7. Optical Drives
8. Tape Backup
9. SCSI Host Adapters
Part III. Audio/Video
10. Sound Cards
11. Audio Input/Output
12. Video Cards
13. Video Capture and AV Input Hardware
14. Monitors
Part IV. Input/Output
15. Keyboards and Mice
16. Parallel and Serial Ports
17. Network Hardware
18. Modems
19. Scanners
20. Printers
Part V. Prebuilt Systems
21. Store-Bought Non-Linux Systems
22. Linux Workstations
23. Notebooks
Part VI. Appendixes
A. Linux Device Drivers
B. Hardware Manufacturers
I've got a web page devoted to the book at
http://www.rodsbooks.com/hardware/.

Hi:
We are pleased to announce that the "Linux Newbie Administor Guide" has
been significantly updated again. The homepage is:
http://sunsite.auc.dk/linux-newbie/
Since the last public announcement, the volume of the guide has been
increased by ~30% and it is now almost 200 printed pages. We believe
that the guide is the BEST Linux newbie reference on the net :)).
We aim to create a complete Linux reference (GPLed) for a
computer-literate user who is/plans switching her home computer/small
network to Linux. The answers which the guide contains are meant to be
simple and with just enough detail.
We welcome your corrections, advice, critisism, links, translations, and
CONTRIBUTIONS. The work is still very much in progress--we hope to have
a full reference ready in about 1 year. Pls note that there are no ad
banners on our home page.
Here is a short summary of what the guide contains: why to switch to
linux, linux requirements,installation issues, obtaining help, basics of
the command line, practical advice on common configuration problems,
networking for a home linuxer, startup info on programming, choice of
applications.
Hope our guide is of help to you. Best regards,
Stan J. Klimas, Deep River, Ont, Canada
