Re: [PLUG] non profit linux


What shareware for locking up Win98 did you find! I could use it. Win98 isn't dead yet - but trying to support it is , well dead end anyway.

Thanks

Uh, even if they aren't on this mail list, a Google search could point one of your coworkers to this message!


"Uh, what's Google?"
Plus most of them have heard the joke already :)



There are IMs for Linux, but locking down a system like you can do with XP/NT/2k might prevent that.


Yeah :)
Unfortunately we're migrating to Win2k and have way too many 98 machines about. Just located a great piece of shareware that locks it up tight.



Linux by default has tighter security than Windows. (I hate it when Windows is locked down because I can't do what I want, but that's the point here.)


Indeed.
I'm attempting to shoot myself in the foot here by preventing biweekly trips to clean up computers that have all sorts of nonsense dumped on them.
