Hi Graham. The problem starts when you try to add other packages. Can you see if you can add a new software package and see what happens with the dependancies? Simply running update for me worked fine, but adding a new package caused problems - either from the CDs or from multiple FTP sources

Hi gang. We have an IPTables script (configured by someone other than me) for our firewall, which has been working fine. I'm able to interpret it well enough to block other unwanted INCOMING traffic, but we have never blocked OUTGOING traffic. Now I've been asked to block MSN Messenger on our

I would agree with Python (but not Perl) - for a general purpose language. However, you did say web development. So, with that in mind I would recommend PHP. I say PHP because it is one of the easier languages to learn for web development (I think Cold Fusion is even easier, but it is propri
