Subject: COMMERCIAL: I am Linux campaign slogan
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 21:57:30 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
"I am Linux." campaign is an attempt to set a common marketing slogan
for Linux. Some examples of slogan are Nike Just do it., Chevy Trucks
Like a rock and Coca-Cola Always Coca-Cola
What "I am Linux." mean?
"I am Linux" describes the freedom that comes with the software. The
freedom to view, learn, and modify the source code. The freedom to
redistribute copies of the software. And all these freedom means you do
not have to ask or pay permission to any one. The slogan hopefully
provides the notion to the observer of free software, principles of the
GNU GPL.
"I am Linux." means that there are no individual or company that control
and own Linux. Linux is free to the general public. Additional meanings
are: that you use the Linux operating system, that you support an open
standard operating system, that you want better software, that you want
fair competition, that you like Linux, that you like choices in life...
These are some of the main reasons.
Also, we are selling the Linux distributions on CD
RedHat 6.0 and Mandrake 6.0 $1.89 Shipping cost is $4.00 US $9.00

Subject: Ganymede 0.99.4 - Network directory management system
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 21:52:04 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Ganymede 0.99.4 is now available for download at
http://www.arlut.utexas.edu/gash2/
or
ftp://ftp.arlut.utexas.edu/pub/ganymede/
Mirrors: (may take a short while to update)

ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/ganymede/ (Australia/NZ only)
ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/pub/ganymede/ (KDD R&D Labs, Saitama, Japan)
Ganymede is a GPL'ed network directory management system written in
Java, providing support for team management of NIS, DNS, etc.
- --
The big news for this release includes a reworking of the install
scripts to make it easier to install the server and the web client
resources, a significant rewriting of the admin console to improve
security and simplify installation, and an improved installation
guide.
Generally more polished, closer to production quality. The next
things to do involve more operational documentation and better
packaging of the schemas, including lots of support scripting for
the gasharl schema.
Just over the horizon is a new DNS/XML system for flexibly and
comprehensively managing DNS with Ganymede.
As always, feedback is eagerly solicited.. if I don't hear from
anyone, I just have to guess as to whether it's working for people,
which isn't the most efficient method.
See http://www.arlut.utexas.edu/gash2/CHANGES for a complete
list of changes.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Announcing `monitor.c', a simple program to shut off a machine if it is
inactive for a long time with no users logged in. A countdown of the time
until shutdown is shown at the top right of the current text console, by
using /dev/vcsa0.
It is useful if you're planning on leaving a batch job running on your
desktop machine at night but want the machine to switch off when it's
finished, as the countdown will start as soon as the load average drops BUT
will stop if anyone logs in, so if insomnia prompts a hacking session after
you left it running your machine won't unexpectedly turn off.
Full installation instructions are included at the top of the source code.

OVERVIEW
Technology is advancing, the systems administration profession is changing
rapidly, and you have to master new skills to keep apace. At the second
International SANE (System Administration and Networking) conference you'll
find a wealth of opportunities to meet other system administrators and
network (security) professionals with similar interests, while attending a
program that brings you the latest in tools, techniques, security and

Vendor Exhibition for the hottest products and the latest books available.
The official language at the conference will be English. The conference will
be located at the Maastricht Exposition and Conference Center, MECC.

On Monday May 22 and Tuesday May 23, a large selection of practical,
problem-solving, in-depth tutorials will be presented to you by the most
authoritative, popular and widely acclaimed speakers.
TECHNICAL CONFERENCE
Following the tutorial days, Wednesday May 24 and Thursday May 25 will offer
comprehensive technical sessions, including keynote address, presentations
of refereed papers, invited talks and BoFs.
The social event and the enjoyable inSANE Quiz will help you getting to know
other professionals in your field.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
Presentations are being solicited in areas including but not limited to:
* Security tools and techniques: Network Intrusion Detection Systems,
Firewalls, VPNs, practical cryptography and auditing
* Web security fundamentals and practical web site maintenance
* Network monitoring and traffic shaping solutions
* System and network performance tuning
* Managing enterprise-wide e-mail and fighting junkmail (sometimes
mistakenly referred to as 'spam')
* Experiences with Open Source software (including operating systems) in
a professional environment
* Innovative system administration tools & techniques
* Distributed or automated system administration
* Adventures in nomadic and wireless computing
* Intranet development, support, and maintenance
* Integrating new networking technologies
* Integration of heterogeneous platforms
* Support strategies in use at your site
* Effective training techniques for system administration and users
REFEREED PAPER SUBMISSIONS
An extended abstract is required for the paper selection process: details on
how to submit an abstract will be published at the web site listed below.
Abstracts accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms are not acceptable
and will be returned unread.
Authors of accepted submissions must provide a final paper for publication
in the conference proceedings. These final papers are held in the highest
confidence prior to publication in the conference proceedings. By agreeing
to present your paper at SANE 2000, you also give license to the SANE 2000
conference organizers that it may be published in the members-only area on
the NLUUG web site and/or in the conference CD-ROM.
WORK-IN-PROGRESS (WIP)
The conference facilitates Work-In-Progress (WIP) sessions in parallel to
the main conference tracks. WIPs are informal, 20-minute talks that give you
the opportunity to share your current unfinished work with others in the
field. So, if you have a topic of interest that is not very well suited for
a refereed paper submission, please submit a proposal for a WIP session to
the WIP Coordinator at the address: <sane2000-wip@nluug.nl>
BoFs
Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions are highly interactive, informal
gatherings of attendees interested in a particular topic. BoFs enable
attendees to discuss topics of mutual interest and to build professional
relationships with other people who share similar interests. A BoF that is
already being planned is a PGP key-signing BoF (or party).
If you want to schedule a BoF prior to the conference, please contact the
BoF coordinator at the address: <sane2000-bofs@nluug.nl>
