An Interview with Jeremy Garcia of LinuxQuestions (Oct 28 2004 23:31 GMT) - [RootPrompt -- Nothing but Unix] - 28 Oct 2004: Every once in a while I like to pay homage to some of the pioneering folks who I feel express the spirit of the potential of Linux.

Titan's Smooth Surface Baffles Scientists (Oct 28 2004 23:31 GMT) - JazMuadDib writes "Scientists expected a few rough spots when their space drone snapped close-range images of Titan, Saturn's largest moon.

Ipower host wants to move me (Oct 28 2004 23:27 GMT) - If you have a database behind your photo gallery, which it sounds like you do, then you'll need to backup that database and move it over to the new server.

If so, you should be able to download a copy of the database, and then upload it again once you've moved to the new server. You'll also need your pictures directory. Your host should be able to help you with this. |
