Hi all:
I'm sure this has been on before so apologies for the time warp.
I am in my school library instaling 7.2 and need to be able to let all kids
use the machine by validating with the NT server. I assume I have to add all
the names to smbpasswd file? Is there an easy way to get names from the NT
machine to automate the process?
Also, I would like them to be able to use it for CD-ROMs but asume that Wine
will not cope with windoze specific ones? I'm sure Michael will rightly
chastise me for not checking the list of CDs available on his site but this is
my usual 11th hour stuff and I will check later.

What "romomatic" NIC do I use with Compaq Netelligent (TLAN) NICs? I want to
do a "diskless" workstation demo in 45 mins and have more interest than
machines so need to go to another room!

Hi folks,
We already have Outlook 97 installed across our
network. We don't use it at all. The management here
is asking me to provide a solution for collaboration.
Streamlining communication and the like. Now, I don't
know an awful lot about this, but can Outlook 97
connect to a diary collaboration server other than MS
Exchange? In other words, how do I (can I?) set up a
Linux box to do the server side?
Does StarOffice have some server with it? Can I
connect Outlook to it?
BTW - I just bought the Linux Cookbook, and for a
newbie like me, it is superb. Just started writing
some simple scripts to automate jobs. Michael Brown
got me started with his 'how to copy to all home
directories' doohicky. Now I understand just how
flexible and simple Linux is. I've gone from:
But it's all configured with text files :(
to
But it's all configured with text files :D
Grep! And you can pipe it too? Heheheh. It suddenly
all just clicks! Remember the buzz when you started to
learn about pipes, and how to link commands to do
flash stuff? Well that's me!
Thanks, as always, for you thoughts and comments.

Can any body recommend me a multi-user web based SQL front-end.
I need one to store pupil information, I'll need different access levels (e.g. read/write, read, no access)
Any help will be much appreciated
