HOWTO: Setup a Local Domain Name Server (DNS) for your Intranet
==================================================================== Experimentation Platform:
------------------------- Intel P4 3.0Ghz (Intel MB) 1 GB RAM 2 x 80 GB HDD on RAID 1 (Disk
Mirroring) - alloted entirely to Linux OS: ------------------------- Linux - Redhat Enterprise AS
Server v3 Note: a. I was trying to setup the system so that later on when my server goes
online, I don't have to modify much to make my nameservers work with the internet - so I used my
registered domain "mi...

I'm wondering if Mandrake 9.2 with X can be used on slow machine like: Pentium 350, 64mb ram,
2mb graphic card. I don't want to install any servers (ssh maybe)....

I'm wondering what distributions of Linux do you like most. Please make some comments on
distribution you like so everybody will know its adventagies....

All Linux users, Linux community has a Linux counter which keeps track for Linux usuage all over
the world. This counter is counting for since years and is still counting. All of you Linux users,
should register that at http://counter.li.org/ It's run by a nonprofit membership
organization called the Linux Counter Project. And BTW, I'm not affiliated with them. I just
happen to be a Linux user for over 6 years....

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...

Hello! My howto is here . After 3 hours of google search, and self research...
eureka!!!, then I want to share my "howto". Maybe you will have problems installing
CUPS. Any questions please reply here. Blessings!...

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. We...

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' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' 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 su - (password) mkdir /usr/share/fonts/ttf/ chmod 755
/usr/share/fonts/tff What we did here, was with "su -" change the user to root, the "-" just ...

Howto: Setup and emulate a Windows NT Domain on Linux and make Windows 2000/XP log on
=========================================================================== HI all, I'm
back with another Tutorial in the Linux series. This time we're going to with an issue that is
very common in everyday networking and is implemented almost everywhere in some form or the other.
The primary issue here is to make two DIFFERENT Operating Systems talk to each other over the
network and synchonize and share files without letting off any hint about the complex protocols i...

Howto: Setup a DHCP Server on Linux in Few Simple Steps Hi all, I'm back again with a new
turorial - this time we're going to deal with another aspect of Linux/Windows networking - 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
instructions leaflets that accompany the dial-up internet packages from most of the ISPs. DHCP is
what allots you a unique IP address everytime you dial out to your ISP. Here's ...

Hi all /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> Lets all chip
in an maintain the most complete list of Linux Tutorials here. I believe there's a similar post
somewhere in one of the OS Forums - admins, it would do good if you could move it in here. Thanks.
Here's one for a starter - for user's migrating from Windows to Linux, the IBM
Windows-to-Linux Roadmap Series: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linu.../l-roadmap.html ...

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...

The you can do is chage your linux to SuSE 9.1, These linux meke all for you. He install your modem,
printer well your every hareware. The it brings software as mplayer to see movies (these are similar
to Media Player), Xmms to play musicb (these are similar to Winamp), Kopete for every messengers,
K3B for write yoour cd's and dvd's (these are similar to Nero), Mozilla (these are similar
to Nestcape). And the best is that you do not have to pay for the lisence its free. And SuSE heve

For the life of me I can not figure out how to go about mounting my Windows share on my Linux box.
I read somewhere that I needed to use Samba so I got that and I have no clue what to do. I am not
very experienced with Linux and am using RedHat so if you could dumb it down and go through it step
by step it would be great. Thanks alot....

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...

Yes the program Mplayer is best of windows media player. You can download that every codec pack and
skins. These program open your movies faster, and it does't matter that type be: DVD, VCD, AVI,
ASF, MPG, DivX and XviD. These player is faster and ease for use. Ty it I assure you that pleased
you. But it's only under Linux Use. this the screenshut:

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 hard...

I found something interesting out here. For all us Windows-users who want to try Linux but
can't, let me introduce Knoppix . I haven't tried it myself, and I'm a Windows user,
but I certainly will try at some point....

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...

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....

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...

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...

Hi all. I've been working on Mandrake, RedHat. Now I use FreeBSD. Seem to be very robust and
stable. Everything you can get from one point - it's ports collection on www.freebsd.org. One
problem - there is no ALSA driver for it. What do you think about FreeBSD and Linux?...

Linux is one of my favorite OS out there. It seems to have none of the problemes that windows have.
