Me, I'm not too busy to learn. Heck, I run a SuSE firewall at home. But, would you buy "wanting an extra layer of protection" as a valid reason for wanting a hardware firewall? That's why I'm looking for one, myself. Geordon

Thanks to all for the helpful tips! Now I know in which direction to go. Got I nice book on firewalls (Togan's advice) so lots of reading and experimenting besides internet research. Hopefully I'll have a more secure network and know a bit more about it at the end of the day ;-) Thanks again, Felipe.

by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 04 Dec '03

I just compiled gaim for 9.0 mixing up usr-local-bin and SUSE .spec files. It is last version available, compiled with all the Mozilla libs for ssl installed but when I try to connect to a MNS account I get "SSL support is needed for MSN. Please install it". What else is missing? Kopete works...

APT GUI
by Donald Henson 04 Dec '03

04 Dec '03

At some point earlier, someone mentioned a gui interface for APT. I believe it was called synaptic or something like that. Does anyone know where I can find this gui interface, preferably in an APT repository? I'm running SuSE V9.0 Pro. Thanks for any assistance. Don Henson

Adding Menu Items
by Donald Henson 04 Dec '03

04 Dec '03

I've been trying to add a menu item (Bluefish) to my Gnome Applications ->Internet->Create Web Pages menu item. I've installed Bluefish and I can execute it by the bash command "bluefish" as a user but not as root (su). I used Nautilus to go to "applications:///Internet" and then clicked on "Create Web Pages". That brought up a window with four applications (such as Quanta Plus). I right-clicked on an empty area of that window and selected "New Launcher". I used the name "Bluefish" and the command "sux -c bluefish", selected an icon (irrelevent). When I clicked the OK button, the Create Launcher window went away but nothing else happened. I tried one version with "Run in Terminal" checked and one without. Same result. I even tried using the command "x -c bluefish" on the theory that if sux meant super-user x and I don't was the superuser command... That didn't work either. Can anyone give me the general procedure to add a menu item? I'd appreciate it. Don Henson

Brett, if I understand what you are asking, the simple answer is: No, because each linux Operating System (OS) needs its own "/home" but you could make it work depending on how you re-partioned your hard-drive. (I am assuming you want to keep your Mandrake OS, if for no other reason to aid in your install of SuSE) My suggestion to you is get a copy of the SuSE CD's and manuals and read up on partititioning. Unless I am confusing you with some one else you are a computer science student so you should learn about partitions. (If you are short of funds, borrow a copy, or find a old copy on ebay or buy the personal edition.) Hope this helps, bood luck.
