Problem with fetchmail
by WebImmigration.Com 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

Hi everyone, I'm using a redhat 7.2 with fetchmail 5.9.0+IMAP-GSS+SSL+INET6+NLS I have a problem where it is giving error code 2, and when I check, the socket opens manually, however, when as a script, it does not seem to want to open a socket. I have changed MTU's, checked against another server and against the protocols as per the /etc/services. Unfortunately, I cannot upgrade the server as the programs are old, and I need to find a solution. Can anyone help? Chris

Has there been a change in Policy or configuration to prevent using MUUG web/ftp site for Fedora updates? I started to get error messages a week ago when trying to use redhat-update (reconfig'd to point to MUUG site as per newletter).

Photo printer recommendations?
by gedetil＠cs.umanitoba.ca 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

I'm about to take the plunge and get myself a photo printer. I was wondering if any of you had any recommendations for good printers (or others to avoid) toward the lower end ($150-$250). Something like the Epson R300 or the Canon i960 is more in my price range, if those are reasonable choices... Feature-wise, the R300 seems like a better choice. On the other hand, a tech. co-worker of my brother's (whose done a lot of work servicing printers), recommends Canon printers over other brands as generally more reliable (and usually having less expensive consumables). Mind you, this recommendation is from a while ago, and applied to general-purpose inkjet printers, and not photo printers specifically. I figured some of you probably have more experience with this sort of thing than I do, so I'd welcome your opinions. Thanks. -- Gilbert E.

CBC's ZeD is Open Source software
by John Lange 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

Last night on CBC, ZeD aired "Revolution OS". In conjunction with that, they announced: "As of January 6th, 2005, the code base that powers zed.cbc.ca is available under the Apache License 2.0." http://zed.cbc.ca/opensource (link is very slow at the moment due to slash . effect). Now all they need to do is fix their web site so it displays properly with something other than IE. -- John Lange
