Comment Linux Reality (Score 1) 205

For those who are interested in learning a thing or two about running Linux I would recommend the late Linux Reality podcast (RIP). The target audience is new to intermediate Linux users. There were 100 episodes in total and I found them to give a pretty good overview of Linux -- from introducing the various Linux distros to teaching you basic to intermediate commands and going over how to install and configure services (e.g. Samba).

Submission + - Tool to allow ISP to scan every file you transmit (msn.com)

The tool can "check every file passing through an Internet provider's network — every image, every movie, every document attached to an e-mail or found in a Web search — to see if it matches a list of illegal images." As with the removal of the alt.binary newgroups, this is being promoted under the guise of preventing child porn. The privacy implications of this tool are staggering.
