Ubuntu - Day 1

Submitted by Rick on July 17, 2007 - 11:36pm.
  • Riding Shotgun with Rick

I haven't touched my Windows' machine all day and won't for the next 14. However, one program I already miss from my Windows' computer is my wonderful anti-spam software called Cloudmark Desktop. Adam and I talk almost weekly about Cloudmark Desktop. We have both used it since we discovered it at the old Comdex computer show five or six years ago. Currently, they don't have a Linux version of the software and don't plan on it anytime soon. The Evolution program that comes with Ubuntu works very well, and I will test its anti-spam solution that is built-in and learn to tweak it over the next two weeks.

If anyone reading this knows of a fast, accurate anti-spam software for Evolution in Ubuntu, please let me know.

Other than email, I haven't done much else today on my own computer. I'm using Firefox to post this article tonight, but it works almost identical to the version I use on my Windows' machine.

I read the comment about backup on Ubuntu, and yes, I will look into that this week and post any solutions that I come up with here on the site. Thanks for the comment and suggestion.

If you liked this post, consider buying me a beer!

I wanted to get Howard's attention. Wild Blue satellite Internet modems should work very much like a DSL or cable modem. To make sure your Ubuntu is set to accept a DHCP assigned IP address, try this:

  1. Click the two little computers (networking) icon by your clock
  2. Click Manual Configuration
  3. Click Wired Connection
  4. Click Properties
  5. Under Configuration, click and choose "Automatic Configuration (DHCP)"
  6. Click OK
  7. Click Close
