It still shouldn't be made to the default. Users that are capable of using vim will have no problem changing their editor. Similarly, I love LaTeX and think it produces far better documents than OpenOffice.org, but I'm not about to propose that Ubuntu drop OO.o in favor of Lyx or gedit+teTeX. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 22:00:12 -0500 From: Matt Price <<a href="mailto:matt.price@utoronto.ca">matt.price@utoronto.ca</a>> Subject: Re: evolution /spamassassin marks everything as spam To: Ubuntu Help and User Discussions <<a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:20060316030012.GA25481@utoronto.ca">20060316030012.GA25481@utoronto.ca </a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii hi karl, On Fri, Mar 03, 2006 at 11:02:57AM -0800, Karl Hegbloom wrote: > On Mon, 2006-02-27 at 16:18 -0500, Matt Price wrote: > > SO now I just have the default spam filter enabled, and all my mail is > > being tagged as spam.

Didn't realize that evolution started a private spamassassin instance. I've been using a bogofilter filter that I saw in a forum somewhere, and it works pretty well (catches about 90% of spam, very few false positives) , but as far as I can see there's no way to train bogofilter from within evolution. So I'm hoping your suggestion gives me a better solution also, is there a reason I shouldn't try pretraining? thanks much, matt > ------------------------------------------- Matt Price <a href="mailto:matt.price@utoronto.ca">matt.price@utoronto.ca</a> History Department, University of Toronto (416) 978-2094 -------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 04:02:37 +0100 From: Vincent Trouilliez <<a href="mailto:vincent.trouilliez@modulonet.fr">vincent.trouilliez@modulonet.fr</a>> Subject: Re: Remote Desktop : Connecting to a WinXP machine ?

That is the normal and expected behaviour. Remote desktop isn't designed for you to take control of the other user's session and let them watch you. It is a form of terminal services that allows you to connect to your own machine remotely. Remote assistance is Microsoft's protocol to allow you both to be able to watch the session. However, there is no linux client that I'm aware of. (granted, I've never looked.)

One being it is easy to setup everything. The downside is ofcourse all the security holes and it being a major target for spyware and viruses. I don't know how linux compares in the spyware and virus part since I have only been using linux for about 3 weeks now. I do believe that linux is making me a better trouble shooter though since a lot of things are harder to setup.

Hmm, thanks for shedding some light Roger, I am starting to make sense of windows behaviour now, it does have some logic to it in the end ;o) So I guess what I would be asking for, in the future, is that Gnome Terminal Server Client applet, handles this " Remote Assistance" protocol of Windows.

I am still a newbee as well, but with a little longer experience, but the result is very encouraging : - Been using Linux for nearly 2 years, and the past 18 months with Ubuntu since the day it came out. Connected to internet 24/7 for all of that time, receiving 100+ mails every day (mostly via this very list ! ;-), surfing the web hours a day, no anti-virus, no fire-wall, yet I have not ever had any spyware, virus or any sort of malware, and the web browser easily blocks ugly ad banners effortlessly as well. So in short, it's a dream. - I installed Windows XP this morning (had a little thing to do/test on it). After only 30 minutes on the web (not kidding!), I got a pop up window steal focus, telling me my computer was infected and I needed to take immediate action. Then it started to pop-up internet Explorer windows all over the place, with flashy porn/sex/games ads, the more windows I closed, the more that would pop up ! After 3 minutes clicking everywhere, it eventually calmed down, and all IE's windows were eventually closed. 3 minutes later, it started all over again !! :-O So really, I hardly even remotely consider going back to Windows, even if someone paid me for it. Sure enough, Linux (on the Desktop) has many rough edges as it's still such a battle field and is moving so quickly as it matures and all its numerous bits and pieces are being developed/debugged. But the strong, positive points of Linux faaaaaaar out weight any quirk you might come across.
