I have converted my CD collection to ogg using 'grip' to rip and 'xmms' to play - seems great! If you like verbose tags and filenames though be sure to edit the default settings in 'grip' - the default are sparce, to be polite.

Hi TLUG, Apple's iTunes on disk insert will play and rip the CDs on to disk at same time. Includes all that nice ID tag data. Unfortunately it does not support encoding in ogg vorbis [1]. What is an efficient way to achieve the ripping (+tag) under Linux? Which Linux music players have the most complete play list functionality? Thank you, Lloyd [1] feel free to request this feature or provide other feedback regarding iTunes ;-) http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

I came across some unusual probes from this week past and here are a couple pieces: Dec 7 17:58:30 SRC=82.35.107.218 DST=my.ip.addr.249 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=117 ID=1071 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=3227 DPT=1214 WINDOW=16384 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Dec 12 22:44:22 SRC=67.10.135.201 DST=my.ip.addr.116 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=236 ID=64154 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2297 DPT=3787 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 ACK RST URGP=0 How are they related? That's what I'd like to know. The first packet is part of a twelve hour probe and the second is one of two ACK RST's a few days later, hidden in another string of probes.

So, if you or anyone else wants to come around and May I suggest you look into configuring a software serial console and either put it in the back of another server or connect it to a modem. As always assess your security needs when allowing access to the console. If there is someone on-site who can connect the console modem to the phone network on request (and disconnect it afterwards), a console on dialup probably isn't too insecure. Connecting the serial console to another box which is accessible only via ssh is also good as long as you trust the owners of the other box.
