  ( http://eblake.com/ | Last Journal: Monday July 16, @01:39PM ) I can't seem to update the story, something about that paypal link in there makes the form choke, but the email domains will be:
  
  librarianmail.com
  librarianmail.org
  librarymail.net
  
  I'll be keeping track of anyone who chips in, and sending out details soon on how that'll work.

  ( Last Journal: Saturday April 08, @12:30PM ) Is there some way you can modify the Paypal thing so we can include a note with our LISNews usernames in it so you know who we are? My e-mail address at Paypal should be a real clue, but it may not be obvious for everyone.

  ( Last Journal: Friday July 22, @12:18PM ) Ditto. I had to use a different e-mail addy than I do here because my usual one was used previously at paypal (even though the account has long been cancelled). Should we chuck you a note or something once we send some cash your way? [ Parent ]

  (Score:3, Informative) by jen (73) on Thursday May 13, @11:18AM (#5916) I also used a different email address. I think you should have a button permanently on the front page for donations. That's not unreasonable and is something quite a few sites do nowadays. [ Parent ]

• Slash shouldn't be hard to install

  (Score:0) by Anonymous Patron on Friday May 14, @07:08AM (#5954) Red Hat will want to have its own apache lying around; that's fine, keep it, just ignore it. No need to even tell the package manager what you're doing, just compile and install apache 1.3.x in the way described in Slash's INSTALL file -- it'll go into /usr/local/apache and Red Hat will never know it's there.

  If RH's perl won't work, that's fine too, recompile perl (but this time you want to overwrite RH's /usr/bin/perl with your version, don't try having /usr/local/bin/perl be different from /usr/bin/perl.)

  Having done that, you should just be able to stop RH's apache 2.x, and start your own apache 1.3.x, by running RH's init.d script and your own /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl script. Once you've confirmed that works fine, you might consider replacing RH's init.d script with your own, so if your system reboots, it's 1.3.x and not 2.x that starts up.
