Adding Ttf Fonts To Your Linux
so you can really get into gimping :) (0) Using ttf fonts in Linux While working in Linux and wanting to work with the GIMP, I mainly
lacked my fonts, the ones I had in Windows, so needless to say I had to fix this. So here is how I
do it /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> First you
will have to make a folder to store your ttf fonts in, normally I use /usr/share/fonts/ttf/ as
folder. You will have to do this as root, so CONSOLE su - (password) mkdir /usr/share/fonts/ttf/
chmod 755 /usr/share/fonts/tff What we did here, was with "su -" change the user ....
Installing Photoshop 7 On Linux (fedora)
Needs windows installation (10) Hi, well I've tried coping with The GIMP but could never get it to make smaller compressed file
sizes, so I had to cheat and use Adobe Photoshop 7, however, I use to switch over to Windows to do
this, and it was only for compressing the file, so I thought, how about getting Adobe Photoshop 7
working with Linux (no, I am not kidding!), well here's my steps on how to do this. (tested and
verified that it works, not completely tested though). Also working off by memory so I do apologise
if some things aren't correct, but I know it's near enough that you sho....
Demystifying "chmod" - Part 1
& why viruses get so retarded on Linux (7) Hi, Today we are going to learn a bit about *NIX command chmod or "change mode" - which could
be referred to as the *NIX counterpart of the MS-DOS/Windows attrib command. Our objective here is
to understand the way File Permissions work on *NIX systems and be able to srt/change file
permissions according to our needs. Recently there have been a lot of questions flyig around about
viruses on *NIX systems - so along with this I'll briefly try to explain HOW the *NIX file
permissions make it so hard for viruses to operate successfully in such an environment. ....

the DHCP Server . I'm sure all of you must have come across the term DHCP - anyone who connects
to the internet has to come across it every now and then. You see the term even on the small setup

what allots you a unique IP address everytime you dial out to your ISP. Here'....

Hotkeys / Keyboard Quick Launch Keys In Linux
(5) I first submitted this tutorial a couple of months ago over at http://linuxiso.org/forums as user
adpsimpson. Having spent ages wishing the hotkeys on my laptop would work, I spent most of an
afternoon looking into it. Since no site I found explained it satisfactorily, here's my
method... The first step is to find out which of the keys are registered by the kernel, and what
their keycodes are (the unique event number that they cause). To do this you need a program called
xev, (in Mandrake this is part of X11R6-contrib, is installed by default in Slack, and should....
Using Ntloader To Boot Linux
Win2K or XP, should work with most Linux (3) Basically what we're going to do with NTLoader is use NTLoader to boot into Linux's
bootloader which then boots Linux, why someone would do that when Grub works perfectly fine booting
Windows on NTFS? Who knows what reason other than it could destroy their MBR and make both OS
inaccessible or at least render Linux useless till it's recovered, NTLoader is not specifically
designed to boot other Operating Systems other than Windows. We will be using 2 Hard Drives, this
is not necessary, we could use 2 partitions on a hard drive, but we should have the Operati....
Networking Linux and Windows

I read somewhere that I needed to use Samba so I got that and I have no clue what to do. I am not

by step it would be great. Thanks alot.....
Linux/Gnu
(3) hmmm I am a friend of Gnu/Linux itself. I like the concept of Gnu/Linux, but as I have used Linux
for a long time I have noticed that the hardware support is not the best. You can read which
hardware is supported, but this is not the best way because if your printer e.g is claimed to be
supported by cups on their website, it's not ensured that this printer is really supported. I
had so many printers, which should run with cups (only an example) and at the end these printers
then print pure crap . Another example are graphic adapters...I have 3 different cards and e....

Linux is well supported.
Belive it or not (2) Believe it or not, it may be a lot easier to get patches and updates for Linux than for any
proprietary operating system! The answer to a problem often comes back within a few hours after
sending a message to some newsgroup or mailing list. Moreover, drivers for Linux are usually
available a few weeks after new hardware products have been introduced on the market. By contrast,
hardware manufacturers release device drivers for only a few commercial operating systems, usually
the Microsoft ones. Therefore, all commercial Unix variants run on a restricted subset of hardware....
Linux is highly compatible
with many common operating systems. (0) It lets you directly mount filesystems for all versions of MS-DOS and MS Windows, SVR4, OS/2, Mac
OS, Solaris, SunOS, NeXTSTEP, many BSD variants, and so on. Linux is also able to operate with many
network layers like Ethernet, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), High Performance Parallel
Interface (HIPPI), IBM's Token Ring, AT&T WaveLAN, DEC RoamAbout DS, and so forth. By using
suitable libraries, Linux systems are even able to directly run programs written for other operating
systems. For example, Linux is able to execute applications written for MSDOS, MS Win....
Linux is fully customizable in all its components.
but is don't ease (0) Thanks to the General Public License (GPL), you are allowed to freely read and modify the source
code of the kernel and of all system programs. Several commercial companies have started to support
their products under Linux, most of which aren't distributed under a GNU Public License.
Therefore, you may not be allowed to read or modify their source code.....
Linux Versus Other Unix-Like Kernels
This is a Littler History (0) 6 The various Unix-like systems on the market, some of which have a long history and may show signs
of archaic practices, differ in many important respects. All commercial variants were derived from
either SVR4 or 4.4BSD; all of them tend to agree on some common standards like IEEE's POSIX
(Portable Operating Systems based on Unix) and X/Open's CAE (Common Applications Environment).
Understanding the Linux Kernel 7 The current standards specify only an application programming
interface (API) that is, a well-defined environment in which user programs should run. T....
You Can Learn Linux: This Is A Little History
(0) Linux is a member of the large family of Unix-like operating systems. A relative newcomer
experiencing sudden spectacular popularity starting in the late 1990s, Linux joins such well-known
commercial Unix operating systems as System V Release 4 (SVR4) developed by AT&T, which is now owned
by Novell; the 4.4 BSD release from the University of California at Berkeley (4.4BSD), Digital Unix
from Digital Equipment Corporation (now Compaq); AIX from IBM; HP-UX from Hewlett-Packard; and
Solaris from Sun Microsystems. Linux was initially developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991 as an....
