 | You can download Debian binaries from the wine website. Heres the link [url]http://www.winehq.org/download/[/url] Though it may still try and pull down dependencies of its own which you will need to source and install yourself. |
| | If you have 4 primary partitions then you cant. Do you know which of these are primary and wich are logical partitions?  |
| | If you already have 40 gig of free space on your hard disk then its fairly simple. Put your pen drive in your computer and when you turn it on press the appropriate key to select the boot device and pick the usb drive. You could also set the usb … |
 | run rhn-register and register. I know that seems obvious but thats what you need to do. Its a little ncurses wizard and is pretty simple to use. If you question is "how to install dependencies in a unregisted rhel without registering" the answer is you don't. RHEL charge for their …  |
| | erm ... Linux? In reality it doesn't really matter, though I would suggest Debain stable or CentOS (which is based on RedHat) But really any Linux distro that has packages for Apache, Mysql and PHP/Perl/Python will do.  |
| | 1. Red hat charge for support, which is fine. They also charge for access to their repository, again this is fine so long as they make their modifications open. This is how projects like CentOS exist. At use Red Hat because we can call them and get a fix within … |

| | I've been practising holding my breath for 80 mins. Though no doubt our trip to Paris on Saturday will end with our annual gubbing. That being said the French haven't been on the best form so we'll see. In fact none of the teams played particularly great rugby in the …  |
 | I'm on the bus so don't have the capability to test, however this has crossed my mind. Setup the LAN card on your windows box with an up eg 10.0.0.1 with the mask 255.255.255.252 but no gateway. Do the same on the Linux box 10.0.0.2 same mask as above and … |
| | Pulling this thread back on topic before it becomes a distro x vs y thread :p the real answer is that the question is a bit broad. So far as a distro goes, you want to choose a stable one. This means realistically you're looking at Debian Stable, CentOS, Ubuntu … |
| | Re: GRUB Error Sounds like you have deleted your root partition, which is bad. Hopefully you've not also deleted your home partition. If you have I'm afraid your data is irrevocable. Grab a live cd such as knoppix and mount your remaining partitions. If you still have your home partition you can reinstall … |
| | [QUOTE=tje210;1481630]i think the bigger question here is - why do you want to *avoid* using a router or switch? their function exactly fulfills your need. if we got an answer to that we might be able to help more.[/QUOTE] +1 a router is what you are looking for. A switch …  |
| | I guess this depends on what you want to do, which your op doesn't advise. I decided I wanted to work as a Linux sysadmin. The first stage was to develop a god complex. However, in all seriousness I simply sat down and geeked out over it. Got a low … |
| | Only two spring to mind. MS Visio which is expensive and Dia ([URL="http://live.gnome.org/Dia"]http://live.gnome.org/Dia[/URL]) which is Open Source. I use Visio at work and it is very nice. I have used Dia in the past and it was pretty rough. That was a while ago so YMMV |
 | I had an interview with a well known navigation company. There was only one question in the technical interview. "Here is root on a box which is on our dev environment. Tell me about it!" Jesus. I started with uname -a and cat /proc/cpuinfo and then thought where the feck … |
| | To completeley remove fedora and get the space back for your existing windows install you need to do the following: [B]*Backup any important data on your windows install first.*[/B] Go to the gparted website and download the live cd. Boot into that and run the gparted application. Delete the linux … |
| | Re: Server Help The best thing to do is build and play with your own. If you dont have a spare computer kicking around a quick goolge for VPS providers will yeald many cheap monthly options. Grab a box/vps and build a server to host a simple cms such as Wordpress or Media … |
| | Hi Mani, What are you trying to achive by practising linux commands? There is no better way to practice than using a Linux system as your primary OS for a while. There are plenty ways to try this out. How To's are all over the internet. You could setup a … |
| | did you try looking at the man page for gzip? |
| | 1. I use xfce, there are a few different desktop/windows managers. Play around till you find one that is comfortable and works for you. 2. fdisk or cfdisk come as default with most and work fine. You may want to look at booting the gparted live cd and shrinking your … |
| | From here [url]http://www.godaddy.com/hosting/virtual-dedicated-servers.aspx?ci=9013[/url] they offer either CentOS or Fedora. I would suspect Centos 5.5 and Fedora 13 or 14. If you're going with them then use the distro you will be eventually deploying the live site to. Take care |
| | If re-installing with a 32bit system remember that it will only be able to address upto 3.5gig of ram. So if you have more than that you may want to consider sticking to the 64 bit system and running a 32 bit system in VM |
| | Hi Alaasam Welcome to Linux. It's no more difficult to setup networking in Linux than in Windows, its just different. All the underlying concepts of networks remain the same howerver. Ubuntu is a good distro to start out with, they have fantastic documentation aimed to help a beginner get things … |
| | Re: linux kernel Depends on what experience you have in Linux and how much you know about the system as it stands. Installing a source based distro such as Gentoo or Lunar, which will give you a working system a little faster than Linux from Scratch will, as they have the option to … |

| | If I understand correctly you want to keep /home in sync across 2 servers? If so have a look a drdb. |
 | Re: g++ in Kubuntu The easiest way would be to connect the computer to the internet, is their a specific reason that this is impossible? The chances are that this is just the first of a few missing dependencies. If this is absolutely not possible you can grab the g++ package from the Ubuntu … |
| | Hi All, A few years ago the general rule of thumb for swapping was swap=RAMx2. Now that seems fairly sensible when ram was smaller than it is today. My new rig arrives tomorrow and with 8gig of ram following the rule of thumb above would mean 16Gig of swap space. …  |
 | If you run: [CODE]-bash-3.00$ rpm -qa | grep mysql mysql-server-4.1.22-2.el4_8.4 php-mysql-4.3.9-3.31 mysql-devel-4.1.22-2.el4_8.4 mysql-4.1.22-2.el4_8.4 [/CODE] you will see what packages with mysql in their name are installed.
