RE: X terminal distributions?
by Rob Becker 02 Dec '04

Use them as thin clients. Build a decent box with a little power and then set them up to boot from floppies and run as diskless thin clients. Check out ltsp.org for more information on how to do so. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks.

Funny, whenever I try that sight I get this: "Yes, attacking spammers is wrong, you know this, you shouldn't be doing it. Your ip address and request have been logged and will be reported to your ISP for further action." On a reload I got this added to it: "Also, note: This machine is not hacked, this page is returned for EVERY request. Thanks for noticing though." What Monty spoke of sounds a bit like LaBrea. It is a program to feed fake content to page crawlers, crackers, … [View More]

The fatal flaw in this logic is that, most spammers are using other peoples 0wn3d boxes and thus there is no cost to them. Other than perhaps not sending as much mail. So maybe they make a smaller profit, but when you have a zero cost business and everything is 99.94% pure profit, a smaller profit isn't a big deal. This probably won't work. > -----Original Message----- > From: James Sissel > > I heard about this from the register (www.theregister.co.uk) > Monday and > … [View More]

This method looks like it is being accepted by the general public. I only hope that something positive comes about from it and not just more net slow-downs in the long run. Spammers get taste of their own medicine http://news.ft.com/cms/s/cd592a7a-433e-11d9-bea1-00000e2511c8.html Brian Kelsay

Regarding some recent discussion of getting a convenient scrollback buffer working with screen in an Xterm: I notice that Ctrl-PgUp works fine in Putty under windows.
