[Glastonbury] ive become debbied

[Kelvin McNulty]

Does Debian install itself like SuSE does? or do you still have to make a list 
of all the hardware first?

Thinking about it...

PS having got Knoppix onto that machine at the group (thanks for your help, 
and it was v. useful to verify that the machine, which was a Microbitz 
scapheap item, was useful still) I had to replace it with SuSE cos the 
Knoppix was in German... the machine is currently helping someone who is 
working with a vulnerable new business in Glastonbury, and it only has SuSE, 
no Windows...

Keeping Email Reliable:

The main cause of loss of messages is the increasing volume of spam. You can 
reduce this by ensuring that your computer is free of viruses and worms. If 
you run Microsoft Windows you must have up to date firewall and antivirus 
software, and you must keep this software up to date, You will also from time 
to time need to install updates issued by Microsoft to ensure that your 
Windows system remains secure.

You can also, at the time of writing this, ensure freedom from spam and 
viruses by using a system other than Microsoft Windows: an Apple Mac, or a PC 
running Linux. I personally use SuSE Linux 8.1 and have found that this 
enables me to do everything I need. You will need a firewall on your Linux or 
Apple system.

You must also take care not to open attachments on any system. Most viruses 
are sent as attachments. NEVER open an attachment if you do not know, 
absolutely, that it is safe. NEVER open any executable attachment, i.e. one 
whose filename ends in .exe, .pif, .scr, .bat etc. (there may be other file 
name endings for executable files). On a Linux PC, any damage done will be 
limited to your user area.

To avoid these problems, you can use webmail. If you have an email account on 
the Glastonbury Online server, I can probably arrange for you to use webmail. 
This avoids having to run your email activities from any one particular 
computer. GO will add £10.00 to the annual charge for your website (or the 
website that hosts your email account) for this service.
