Whoever you host with, register the domain name at 123-reg

It's considerably faster / lower overhead to put the rewrite code in the httpd.conf file rather than using .htacess files (unless this isn't an option ofv) http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html

IMHO The adaptec raid cards are terrible btw. - at least the cheaper ones are as they aren't full hardware raid.

I think you may find this easier to do on linux. There are lots of command line utilities that will encode to mp3 and could then be run from a script. These might help The Linux MP3 & Ogg HOWTO : OGG & MP3 Encoders The Linux MP3-HOWTO Final stage is easy to script - simply rsync the file to the webserver at the end. (with shared ssh keys) Good luck.

try setting ownership of /var/lib/mysql with whatever user runs mysql on opensuse. Make a copy first?

I believe you can delete the domain and add the new one form admin, or reinstall using the domain name you want ( change settings on the final stage) http://www.zimbra.com/forums/installation/523-install-question-usr-mail-domain-com-vs-usr-domain-com.html

You don't need to install ftp - and I would recommend not doing so as you can just use ssh (sftp = more secure). For windows download the following two tools: putty - allows you ssh shell access winscp - allows you sftp ssh access which looks and works like an ftp client would (as it is an ftp client).

I use sudo su to switch to root and then passwd to set the root password.

I second (third?) Smoothwall's School Guardian.

I would also get machines with vista licenses and then use downgrade rights to wipe and install XP.

Will payment be via paypal or somesuch?

I have the MCITP Books for Windows server 2008 Enterprise Administrator + the MCTS Configuring windows vista client one. I'm not studying for the exams, but they make a handy bookshelf addition and I have no major complaints about the format or content. (exams 70-620/640/642/643/647). For you however, you just need the conversion set which is a different path and different exams - I would imagine that the MS books for that would suit you better.

I also back Dban, but - can't use it on a remote computer in a datacentre.

we use: +'-'++ eg: j-bloggs2019 the is fixed so doesn't change and identifies the year group.

1. Yes you can. 2. Can't help - never used blackboard.

most often I'd say it's small changes to fix slightly broken features or to to adapt something specific to one deployment. eg, LDAP code in various apps sometimes needs tweaking to work with AD, fix domPDF A4 export, Codeigniter modifications moodle mods to help admin it etc. vbulletin mods etc. There are the OS devs ofc like Paul (edusweep) that are customising their own releases all the time I think modifications of this nature are much more widespread than changes to codebases such as ooo.

What about modifying some of the open source web apps? I would have thought you would be one of the bigger candidates for that webman.

I reguarly modify and use open source in school - I don't generally redistribute though. Your poll doesn't have that option so picked 1

mandatory profiles for students does it - just click through and save the profile.

I think you need to make a list of all the software you use and what you would be giving up by switching student machines/staff machines. I don't know what your situation is - a lot of curriculum software is heading for web delivery with a subscription model, if this is where you're at, switch away. If not, at least document it so you know what your problems are going to be. How to teach systems and control for example. I think in a lot of cases you can make the switch, but it's the niggles that casue the problem - perhaps this can be dealt with via terminal services with a smaller number of licences? 95% of what my users do involves either firefox or openoffice. It's the 5% where they use software from logotron, sherston, crocodile clips etc that would cause problems.

I use Brother for the mono lasers - very impressed with them. I have a konica minolta colour laser and I'm not impressed with it. -doesn't print on card (smears colours all over the place and then needs cleaning) -toner costs a fortune -linux printing is a rpita It was however free with tesco computers for schools several years ago, so beggers can't be choosers. I'd go with a different brand if spending money. Don't own an HP, but they come with an initial hefty price which I would assume correlates to solid build quality, speed, reliability and hopefully lower consumable costs - investigate though.

TO sort the names for your css; Replace $navigation = get_accesshide(get_string('youarehere','access'), 'h2')." </pre><ul>\n"; $lastindex = count($navlinks) - 1; $i = -1; // Used to count the times, so we know when we get to the last item. $first = true; foreach ($navlinks as $navlink) { $i++; $last = ($i == $lastindex); if (!is_array($navlink)) { continue; } if (!empty($navlink['type']) && $navlink['type'] == 'activity' && !$last && $hideactivitylink) { continue; } $navigation .= ''; if (!$first) { $navigation .= get_separator(); } if ((!empty($navlink['link'])) && !$last) { $navigation .= "framename'\" href=\"{$navlink['link']}\">"; } $navigation .= "{$navlink['name']}"; if ((!empty($navlink['link'])) && !$last) { $navigation .= ""; } $navigation .= ""; $first = false; } */ with $navigation = get_accesshide(get_string('youarehere','access'), 'h2')." </pre><ul id='\"nav\"'>\n"; $lastindex = count($navlinks) - 1; $i = -1; // Used to count the times, so we know when we get to the last item. $first = true; foreach ($navlinks as $navlink) { $i++; $last = ($i == $lastindex); if (!is_array($navlink)) { continue; } if (!empty($navlink['type']) && $navlink['type'] == 'activity' && !$last && $hideactivitylink) { continue; } if (!$first) { $navigation .= ''; $navigation .= get_separator(); } else{ $navigation .= ''; } if ((!empty($navlink['link'])) && !$last) { $navigation .= "framename'\" href=\"{$navlink['link']}\">"; } $navigation .= "{$navlink['name']}"; if ((!empty($navlink['link'])) && !$last) { $navigation .= ""; } $navigation .= ""; $first = false; } */ As for the links - you would need an array of the urls and the navlinks they apply to and then use a switch to apply them by modifying the url section of that loop. I can't do it for you without knowing what you want though.

there are three prevalent definitions of atheism 1. Affirmation that gods do not exist. 2. Rejection of theism. 3. Absence of belief in gods. Affirmation that gods do not exist can be made on the basis of the most probable likelihood as much as the reverse of that can (belief in anything), and really is down to the subjective experiences of the individual. It's the third, and to a lesser extent second which make the crossover with agnosticism as mentioned earlier by another poster. Everything is a position of faith. I believe that everything I interact with exists. However, since it functions in exactly the same generally predictable manner whether it does exist or not makes the point moot. The same is true for gods. Since they have no interaction in my existant (or non-existant) world, whether they exist or not is equally moot and irrelevant. The same is not true for people who believe in such things, who can and do impact the world of others. So, what's your point?

I wanted a headless prosumer machine! or failing that a revamp of the mac mini! *spits dummy*

I had the graphics glitching => RROD - sealing the exhaust vents with tape, letting it overheat then cooldown fixed it for a little while but then it went again. I splashed the £100 for a new core (now with HDMI), swapped the HDD over and meant to get the clamp kit for the bropken one but never got around to it.
