Subject: [hsNW] 3 Strike Petition
Hi folks,
I'm sorry to spam you all but this is really important. Some of you
probably know about this already, but if not there's now a petition on
the Number 10 website against the creation of a 3 strike Internet law
in the UK. This law will allow people to be cut off the Internet and
banned on the accusation of piracy by record companies or other
copyright holders. No fair trial, no due course of justice, no
innocent until proven guilty, just bye bye Internet because somebody
accused you. That's wrong and we have to stop it. Ok, enough
preaching. If you want to sign up here's the address -
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/dontdisconnectus/
Send this to anyone you know who hasn't signed yet and may be
interested. They have to be a UK citizen or an ex-pat to sign, so keep
that in mind when sending out emails. Thanks for your help, together
we can beat this thing but it's not going to be easy. So let's kick up
one almighty storm!!
If you want to read more about the situation and why you should care,
have a look here - http://is.gd/52BdD
Thanks again I appreciate it, I'll leave you in peace now :)
Dan

Kubuntu 9.10
by Dave R
I just have to ask... What have they done with all this 9.10 release of
Ubuntu / Kubuntu...
When I was using 9.04 (Just Ubuntu) stuff just worked, but I decided to
give Ubuntu and Kubuntu 9.10 a whirl (again) and it's not been a smooth
ride..
Wifi in 9.04, worked lovely, but in 9.10 Wifi, what Wifi? And even the
Restricted hardware driver thing that did the job of sorting the Wifi
drivers out in 9.04, isn't working correctly in 9.10 (Kubuntu) (there
appears to have been bugs logged about this).. I'm just concerned that
things that did work, now aren't!!!
Has anyone else had similar experience?

Perl Module NET::SMTP
by walt
Hi,
Is anyone familiar with this?
The module works fine but when I get the emails all the ->to, ->cc, ->bcc
stuff is ignored and the from header simply does not exist. I have been up
and down every possible google lead but I cannot see where its getting it
wrong. Debug is on and all the returns from the smtp server are perfect and
without errors.
I have switched to SendMail (perl mod) for now which works fine but its a
bit odd to use.
Anyhow, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

LDAP
by Jon Nihill
Does anyone have any experience with LDAP? any pointers to some good
info from the inter-web (I did search but finding anything relevant on
with google seems to be getting more and more difficult for me)
Thanks in advance!

Windows/Linux shared partition
by Russ
Hi people,
I'm looking at dual-booting a laptop, and am planning to split the hard
drive into three partitions, one for Windows, one for Linux, and one
that both systems can access.
I was going to use FAT32 for the shared partition, because last time I
did this (some years ago), that was the best option for a partition that
both Linux & Windows needed to access. However, it has limitations (like
2GB maximum file size) that could be problematic. Does anyone have a
better suggestion for which file system I should use?
