It is free, open source and cross-platform in design and works well on Linux, OS X and Windows. calibre is meant to be a complete e-library solution and thus includes library management, format conversion, news feeds to ebook conversion, as well as e-book reader sync features and an integrated e-book viewer. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work

Screensaver building : help
by Ankur Sinha 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

hey folks, I was looking around for screen savers related to the "fedora community" in the repos. Sadly, I couldn't find any. There is the floating fedora logo screen saver, but that doesn't really emphasize on community at all. As a result, I intend to make one. (I've read through the srpm to spot's frog screen saver. Making one doesn't look very complex). I need your help in selecting the images that it will feature. Please reply to this mail with links to any images :). What I was thinking : - Images from the FUDCons - Workshops - Install fests - etc etc. I think its going to be something like the presentation on the fedora community that I found quite a while back[1], only less text, more images. [1] http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/misc/community.odp Another query: I also thought of making one with Quotations. Like quotations from Ayn Rand's series "atlas shrugged", "the fountainhead" etc. What license would I be looking for to use quotes from the book? (if any)? It's just going to be text on some background. Maybe some images here and there if I can get some fit enough. Thank you for your time :) -- regards, Ankur

Mirroring Fedora
by Salvadesswaran P.S. 31 Aug '09

We're thinking about mirroring Fedora 11 repository in our college intranet for the use of our students. After downloading the whole repository from IIT-K mirror, how do we mirror it on our server? Any help would be appreciated. Salvadesswaran Srinivasan SSN College of Engineering

by Arun SAG 31 Aug '09

Hi, I conducted one day Free software workshop on 29th August, at KLN madurai for the pre-final year CSE and IT students (50+). The session started with an introduction to Free software and philosophy.Then i explained various GNU/Linux commands and applications. Mailing list etiquettes were taught using shakthi's presentation (Thanks shakthi) . Introduced IRC and students were taught about getting help from various support channels. In afternoon session, it was all about Nmap , Ncat and Ettercap (FOSS Network Security tools) , students were taught about security risks of transmitting plain text passwords on the wire, ARP cache poisoning and DNS spoofing were demonstrated and explained using ettercap. Fedora 11 was installed in 30+ Lab machines for hands on. The response from the students was excellent. Hospitality was good. Fedora 11 DVDs were distributed to all the participants. I thank HOD of CSE department,KLN and Final year student Dhivakaran for organizing this event successfully.

Fedora Sticker for laptop?
by Salvadesswaran P.S. 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

I know this is off topic, but I'm not sure where to ask this: I bought a new laptop without any OS and installed Leonidas straight away. It works perfectly (better than openSUSE/Ubuntu on same model!) and my dad will be using it. He wants a sticker to put on it indicating it runs Fedora 11. Is there a way to get a few stickers? I'll pay for them if needed. Regards, Salvadesswaran Srinivasan SSN College of Engineering.

For those who missed Paul Frield's blog off planet.fedoraproject.org
by sankarshan 29 Aug '09

<http://marilyn.frields.org:8080/~paul/wordpress/?p=2693> A few months ago I discovered a neat trick you can play in Anaconda, the Fedora installer, and thought I would spend time writing it up and passing it on, instead of Imagine you have a USB hard disk with the release tree available. It doesn’t matter what release, but let’s assume it’s something new like Fedora 11 or Rawhide. You don’t have a DVD or CD images available, but you want to run an installation from the USB hard disk.

Take a look at the public mirrors that support rsync here http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/11/i386/ . IITK mirror does not support that, right now and the bandwidth for IITM is very less. So choose any other mirror and just run this command rsync -av <url to the directory to be copied> <path to the directory where it has to be saved> url is usually of this type rsync://ftp.iitm.ac.in/fedora. Its better to use rsync because it can be put in cron to automatically update the repositories. Google about rsync. -- Roshan Kumar Singh http://roshansingh.wordpress.com http://sourceforge.net/projects/gscribble
