[UUG/MLUG] a question and a thought

["Rich Tollerton;;" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

1. How exactly do you forward mail from showme to another host? I
apologize if this has been asked before. .forward doesn't work, I've
already tried that. I'm growing sick and tired of waiting 10 minutes for
my inbox to crawl over nfs.

I recall some website where I could change my mail password, up my quota
and perhaps set up forwarding, but I forgot the url.


2. It's occurred to me that having a central distribution system for Linux
CDs on campus would be a Very Good Thing. It would help people get
upgrades faster, and discourage people from unnecessarily spending
bandwidth on downloading distributions. There would be a much smaller
turnaround time than ordering a CD from, say, cheapbytes.com (~20 minute
delay as opposed to a couple days to receive a CD), and updates to the
distributions could be made MUCH more frequently if we limit these burns
to a relatively low volume. (Note that Walnut Creek still releases Linux
CDs once every what, 3 months?) It would also make it much easier for me
to maintain my own system ;) How feasible would it be for some established
site to start burning Linux CDs and selling them on a reasonable margin
($5-15 total?) IATS Outpost immediately came to mind...
