Personally I think it would be interesting for Linux vendors to use the
Lanham act to ask them to put up or shut up, but I suspect the lawyers
would hate that idea too!
Folks,
Just had this forwarded to me from an out of town visitor for
tonight's meeting - Dell to install Novell Linux on machines and
looking at more options.

Check out this Dell / Novell announcement from a few hours ago. Worth
reviewing for your meeting with Microsoft.

Monday 26 February - Announcing Linuxchix New Zealand.
LinuxChix NZ is a community for women who like Linux, and for women and men
who want to support women in computing.
Linuxchix NZ is a new chapter of an international linuxchix community.
Globally, membership ranges from complete novices to experienced users, and
includes professional and amateur programmers, system administrators, linux
kernel developers, database adminstrators, QA testers, technical writers, and

Linuxchix NZ activities include support forums, mentoring, training courses,
social meetups and linux install fests.
Linuxchix is run by women and for women. Membership is free - the only
requirement is that members be polite and be helpful.

There's a WLUG meeting tonight:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Brett Roberts from MicrosoftCorporation will be speaking on the recent deal that they have signed with http://www.wlug.org.nz/Novell.
The meeting will be at 7:30pm, TW.2.05 (http://www.wlug.org.nz/TW)
Hi,
I recently got a wireless broadband service installed and my data
allowance is small (and expensive too!). I noticed that something on my
network is using about 3Mb/hour and I need to find that and switch it off.
I have a Debian box and a Windows XP box on the network connected like this:
SIU---router~~wireless link~~access point---switch--PCs
where SIU is the wireless service interface unit, equivalent to a DSL modem.
I am assuming that the traffic I need to monitor is coming from one of
my PCs and not the router so I want to install a traffic monitoring
program on the Debian box.
There seem to be lots of them available so can anyone suggest one that
would be suitable for this application? Ideally it would have minimal
configuration requirements.
TIA
Glenn
BTW The router is a Linksys WRT54Gv5 and I tried the Linux based DD-WRT
firmware which has many more features than the native firmware but the
router's wireless interface wouldn't work properly with it.

Folks,
Our meeting will be in TW2.05 - just near the usual venue.
Our usual venue has been booked for the next two meeting times so we
are using this room instead.
Thanks,
Ian
