Ubuntu Linux is supposed to be incredibly easy to install. I've heard a lot of good things about it!

Which ever linux variant OS you feel comfortable with is probably your best bet. To make the linux server look like a windows server, look into using SAMBA on the linux server.

Hi All,
I have the following situation:
WIFI AccessPoint ----LAN -----WinGatewat (two interfaces).------ INET
So I want a WinGateway to be able to decide which packet to pass by MAC Address.
How to do that?
I'm thinking of:
1: Firewall which will take decisions based on source MAC
Should be able to implement with hook filter driver
2: From DDK Samples pass-through miniport (maybe?)
Is there any ideas?
Kind Regards
Vlad

How do I set up a new partition on my hard drive (without deleting anything) so I can instal XP on my machine. I currentley have Vista but its proving to be a pain with my visual studio 2003 so I would like to dual boot.
Many Thanks

I believe Vista can resize an existing partition, even its boot partition. Go into Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management and go down to Disk Management.
If you'd prefer a more proven tool, try Acronis Disk Director or Symantec PartitionMagic.

Thanks Chris.
I've managed to get a new drive, gonna try and install XP now.

Hi,
we have a little problem with LogiCAD and are looking for a solution:
LogiCAD uses CapsLock to trigger a certain function (I don't know which one since I do not use LogiCAD, Nontheless, I was asked to search for a solution).
Because the Key is "sticky" (i.e. deactivated only after pressing Shift or CapsLock, depending on the keyboard settings in the region options), this results in following text being written in ALL CAPS, because using the CapsLock-Key again would retrigger the function (which is not desired).
So:
Is there a way to change the CapsLock behaviour to non-sticky, so that CapsLock is gone once the key is released?
Note: Remapping the key did not work. That was my first suggestions, but then the key was (of course) sending LeftShift, which does something completely different in LogiCAD.
Thanks in advance.

I have had Symantec Antivirus 2006 about 4 months and the virus definitions are occupying 1.7 GB and growing. I keep moving stuff off the drive to make room and it keeps complaining that it needs more. I am not asking for a solution; I just want to know if this is typical.
Does Symantec Antivirus 2006 use GB of storage for the virus definitions? They are at:
\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs
|
|
|
|
|
I've never used Symantec, but I have used a couple of other Anti-Virus programs before, and they've never taken up over 50-60 Mb. Symantec is notorious for being bulky, and will take up quite a bit of HD space.

I have used symantec Norton internet security 2006 and the definitions folder never took up a gig. Each version of virus definitions takes about 30mb per date.
What is the biggest folder inside \Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs?
|
|
|
|
|
The largest folder has 32.6 MB. There are about 30 folders with about 30 MB and about 10 more with nearly 30 MB. Most of the folders have a tmp extension. I have not looked at the contents of the folders.
|
|
|
|
|
So altogther 30mb*30 + say 29mb*10 = 1190mb so around 1.2 gb of folders are definition folders.
If you want to save space or you are running out of space turn automatic update off on norton antivirus. This will mean though, that norton antivirus won't download the latest antivirus updates and you will have to manually download these from (Or manually run liveupdate in norton antivirus).
Link:
http://www.symantec.com/downloads/index.jsp[^]
Although this may prove time consuming if you have alot of computers.
Note: The files sizes you have specified are usual for definition files. If you are unhappy with these files sizes change to another antivirus solution such as:
Nod32 [^] or
Avg [^]
Or another one of your choice.

Most of what you say is obvious or at least I already know.
The one thing that would help is an answer to my question. Are your virus definitions that large? More specifically, how large is your VirusDefs folder?

My definitions files are around 30 mb (some are nearly 32mb), this seems to be the usual amount for Norton antivirus definitions.
Sam Hobbs wrote: how large is your VirusDefs folder?
Currently my virusdefs folder is around 610mb.
I manually download mine every week, But as well as symantec i use spybot search and destroy for adware/spyware and lavasoft Ad_aware SE for adware and spyware.
I find that these together protect me from things that one can't detect, one of the others does.

the .tmp folders are almost certainly temporary files that your POS AV program isn't bothering to automatically delete. Move them to another location and if it doesn't start spitting out errors delete them after a week or so.

Of course that is a guess and I am capable of guessing like that too. If you have specific knowledge and/or experience that they can safely be deleted or moved then that would help.
I would expect Symantec to tell me I can delete them. I asked them and I have not received a response. I will likely try asking them a second time but if I don't hear from them I will likely move the files to another drive where I have plenty of space. I figured that out all by myself.

And their scanner is very much memory hogging too.
I prefer AVG.
