Re: Free GNU/Linux intro class for teens advice? Purchase box? Squeak/Smalltalk programming

Thanks for all of the useful feedback. Some of the constraints which were not clear from my original post are that the venue specifically requested that programming be included. I don't see that as a bad thing as long as the programming is a couple of lightweight exercises. I am also gla

Free GNU/Linux intro class for teens advice? Purchase box? Squeak/Smalltalk programming

I am working toward teaching a free introductory class to teens on GNU/Linux and the philosophy of free software at the Newton Free Library in MA this coming September. For the class, the participants will need access to GNU/Linux. After reviewing some options, including sdf.or

Testing Netinst AMD64 CD fails to create MD devices for RAID1

There seems to be a bug with software RAID1 in the 06/21/2011 version of the Testing Netinst AMD64 CD image. Separate partitions can be linked to create the md devices, but then one or the other of the two md devices fails after the initial sync is attempted. So the failure is occurring b

Network access fails unless tcpdump is running?

Hi, I can not ping a remote host successfully unless I have "tcpdump -i eth0" running, in which case, my network access works fine. I am running Debian etch on a Dell Inspiron e1505 laptop. The eth0 address is static on my local LAN. Once tcpdump is running, the laptop can access t

Hi, Thanks for all of the suggestions. Isn't there a *default* firewall install when you setup a basic version of etch? If I didn't specifically install a firewall, does that mean that there is currently no firewall setup? I am happy to write and work with iptables u

ide (hd) vs. scsi (sd) sata drive detection on generic install (libata ?)

Hi, I did a generic Debian Sarge installation on a Dell Inspiron e1505 laptop which uses a Serial ATA Hitachi HTS541080G9SA disk drive. The installation works, but I wanted to upgrade the X driver to fglrx. So I downloaded that driver from ATI and downloaded a fresh kernel image 2.6.19-xx

Hi, Under Debian, is there a method which allows any user directly logged onto the host and using the host's keyboard and monitor to take ownership of some that host's devices? For example, to change the ownership of /dev/xconsole or /dev/fd0 to be owned by the user currently
