Hi All

just bumbled in here from cyberspace and this forum looks great.

service dansguardian not start

I can't start de service dansguardian, I have Centos v1.430 and show this message
/etc/rc.d/init.d/service dansguardian start
Starting Web Content Filter (dansguardian): Error connecting to parent proxy [FAILED]

Laptop OS

I would like to know what you think is the best OS for an IBM Thinkpad 600E? At the moment i am using KDE 3.3, but it does fail every once in a while and i cannot figure out how to get the WLAN up and running. So once i get it going, that will be my next question.

Spam reduction with Greylisting and SpamAssassin

To reduce the amount of SPAM being seen by my wife and myself, I have been using GreyListing / SpamAssassin on our personal domain for several months. So far this combination has been very effective for us.  This combination is stopping over 99% of spam (up to 99.8%).

Address book in sh

I wrote a simple address book in sh as an introduction to sh for people new to programming or shell scripting

Usage looks like this:

$ addressbook add
Enter data:
Some Person, Ph: 0412 345 678
Entry added
$ addressbook search person
Some Person, Ph: 0412 345 678
$

Code follows.
