[techtalk] dual boot/ linux writing into win98 partition

2001-03-29 Thread Terry Yesse
Hi all- I work in a student computer lab that uses Win 98. We reload the software on a regular basis as the windows files inevitably get messed up. I was wondering if it would be possible to make the machines dual boot Linux and Windows and use Linux to reload the Win software over the network.

Depending on your user's tech level you might also want to look into using Secure Copy (scp) or Secure FTP (sftp)(http://www.openssh.org/). Both are like rcp/ftp but use ssh and hence are much more secure. The biggest issue with scp and sftp is there are no really easy to use GUI programs

I have to say, the team aspect of development/programming is what I like best about it. That's what is the most appealing aspect of XP to me. Stronger involvement with all members. With UML, here anyway, it seems to happen like this: 1) The Project Manager goes to client meetings, gathers

One of M$ systems has a IPSec client and needs to access a private network. The traffic will have to go through the Linux gateway which in turn uses ipchains to filter traffic. How should a client using the IPSec protocol be configured by ipchains? Thank you in advance for any info or pointers.
