I know this is way off topic, but I thought it was worth posting, it requires a small amount of back story.
I'm intrested in knowing whats going on with sins, so I am monitoring the forums. I check my mail on my linux box and it beeps at me when I get mail. I was working with Gmax on my windows box and it crashed (big supprize there).
At the exact moment gmax crashed, my Linux box beeped with the email from Malakin's coment of, "What do you mean by nothing there?"

I guess you have to read harder... I know nuts about Linux, but I set it up and installed SINs, got it running, but had some minor issues with it - and people helped because I TRIED HARD ENOUGH!!!
Try harder ... if you can get the files donwloaded at least, I believe help is near....

if i could just get the sins program from somewhere believe me I will not have a problem installing it even though I have no hardcore experience with Linux... but I cannot find the program to download... can someone just email me the program or make a link DIRECTLY to the file itself and not to the phantom page its supposed to be on...

Having someone send you the source isn't a good idea, it makes it much harder for us to help you. That and I think Sins is way to big for an attbi inbox. But this is how you install:
Open a terminal window, type: su -
type in your root password
copy and paste this to the terminal: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sins.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sins login
now it will ask for a password, just hit enter (no password)
copy and paste this into the terminal: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sins.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sins sins
when that is done and you have a prompt again type: cd sins/
type: make -f Makefile.dist
when thats done, type: ./configure
when thats done, type: make
when thats done, type: make install
when thats done, type: cp conf/sins.conf.dist /usr/local/share/sins/sins.conf
and you are done installing. now to use sins type su - again (su - stands for "Super User" the - means that it is a full login to root, simply su will get you root privilages, but you won't have use of /sbin programs unless you type the path in)
this is realy easy, don't let the comand prompt scare you. This will get you up and running if all of your pacakages are uptodate, if you get any errors, copy and paste them here and we can help you figure out what is wrong. and when malakin has an update for us updating is easy.
simply open a terminal, type su -
type in password for root
type: cd sins/
type: cvs update
type: make -f Makefile.dist
type: ./configure
type: make clean
type: make
type: make install
this will download the new updates, recompile and install the program.

malakin, if I wrote a shell script to install sins, would you be intrested in including it in the cvs?

What do you mean by nothing there?

The procedure is fairly simple as it is especially with the installation page explaining it step by step.
