Good Morning.
I am quite new to ubuntu being an emigre from SuSe. Just thought I
should make a comment on your email. It would appear to me that in

Hi there,
One of my servers has recently been attacked, it has one remote SSH user
which cannot run 'sudo', i made it like that so that if it was comprimized,
no-one would be able to do much.
However, someone managed to gain the password to that account on the server
then used "vi /etc/passwd" to

There's been some work to tune up Linux kernels to ensure they run as
efficiently as possible - I think the bigger gains are in extending the
life of computer equipment though.
As we all know, Ubuntu can run on anything up to 6 years old and you can
re-use pretty much any old kit with an LTSP

VMWare Server 2 uses a web-based admin panel. VNC inside the browser requires
a Firefox plugin, which works on i386 and amd64.

All the pending votes have now been approved, if you have voted already
and didn't get a mail, don't worry about it, your vote got counted. If
you really want you can email me off list and I can confirm I have your

I stopped using VMware a while back and have been using VirtualBox since
then, with many distros installed as virtual machines. It's great.
VirtualBox originally was not as good as VMware but it has improved so

And it can work with vmware files too.

I can't answer your question, Mark, as we're peers, but I think that
the BBC Micro was a great teaching tool because it allowed structured
programming in BASIC which most of the other home PCs did not.
Sinclair, and Commodore, both used a lot of GOTO and GOSUB statements.

VMWare is a bit of a pain. We use xenserver at work, it is the dog's
