Does anyone know when the latest versions of THUNDERBIRD & FIREFOX will make it to the repos? What determines the schedule? TB is supposed to have a fix for a problem I'm having & I'd rather get from the repos as opposed to "direct".

I've used X-forwarding before so that I could ssh into another computer and open up a graphical program and have it show up on mine. But as far as I know, that window only opens on your computer, not on the computer the program is actually running on. Is it possible for me to open a window on my computer, and to sort of X stream it to another computer that has X so they can watch what I'm doing in that window?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSelf learner developer since about 2 years, I'm trying to understand deeper how to design a database in the best and most efficient way possible.Reading about UML design, I've found this: Do not automatically add ID numbers(surrogate keys) or substitute keys to a table until you are sure that:
-There is at least one candidate key (before the surrogate is added),
-the table is a parent in at least one association, and
-there is no candidate key small enough for its values to be copied many times into the child table.
Until then, I've always did this (I mean using ID) to identify my rows.So my questions are:
1. Why should we avoid using ID to identify rows?
2. Candidate keys add some weight to our database, and this can huge if we have millions of records, so why should we use these over surrogate keys?

View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes a mailserver have to have direct access to WAN or can it be a LAN device with just one NIC ?
We have two WAN access points.
One is an adsl router joined to the switch and all seems fine for internet browsing.
The other is a wireless system with a linksys router joining by way of PPPoE and this appears to connect fine.
This PPPoE is direct to our ISP and where we need to downlod our mail to our pending mailserver.
When the linksys router is also joined to the switch all devices can use either the adsl or linksys to roam the net. 192.168.1.1 linksys & 192.168.1.10 is adsl.
When I join the linksys direct to the mailserver I will then need two NIC's. One for the Linksys and one for the LAN.
This is where the fun has started.
So.... Can I just have one NIC (connected to the switch) on the mailserver?
I've got a server running on some old hardware miles away from me, to convert to a newer version seems counter-productive as I'm happy with what's there, just want to add a few packages, but yum can't find the repos - have they been totally removed or are they still mirrored somewhere?

I have another ldap entry auto.data.indirect but I have no idea how to inject it into the directory. Any ideas how to implement it? I am using Fedora 13.
I am using a Dell Inspiron 14R laptop that came with Windows 7 Home Basic. The partitions of my hard disk before installing Fedora 15 were:
Dell (OEM Partition)
OS (C: ) (Primary Partition)
RECOVERY (Primary Partition)
New Volume (E: ) (Logical Drive)
I tried shrinking my C: drive (which has Windows) but couldn't do so hence performed the procedure on E: instead. I did this to create a 15GB unformatted space to install Fedora in. While installing Fedora, I chose the option "Use Free space" under Disk Partitioning Setup but the OS got installed in E: drive. Currently, I am able to use both Windows and Fedora under dual-boot but the problem I am facing is that when working with Windows, I am unable to see drive E: in Computer.
Windows Disk Manager is able to detect the partition and is showing it to be healthy (1st screenshot). Its name now is New Volume and neither am I able to change its path or letter (Error: incorrect parameters) nor am I able to check it using "chkdsk" (Error: cannot open volume for direct access/ GUI doesn't work as well) (2nd screenshot). On the other hand, I am able to access both the partitions in Fedora.
Another point to mention is that after finishing the installation of Fedora, when I started Windows, the Disk Manager as well as Dell DataSafe showed that the Windows Recovery drive had been formatted (maybe inappropriate terminology!) and was no longer retrievable. To rectify this problem, I restored my Windows to before Fedora was installed and I seem to have got the Recovery drive back (1st screenshot) (before doing this, it was nameless and empty).

I have various repos in my yum.repos.d including rawhide, google, and various others which I can enable on specific yum commands with --enablerepo=reponame.
Question is, how come these aren't enabled by default? When I do a yum repolist they don't show up, which effectively leaves orphan programs.
I can see why you might not want rawhide enabled by default for obvious update reasons, but I might want others to be enabled by default, like google for one.
So how is the default repo anabling/disabling controlled?
Is it possible to temporarily enable all repos from within the command line? It would be useful when searching for packages. ie yum enablerepo=* search tint2 (which doesn't work btw!)
