Solve : Linux and Unix? |
Answer» What is the difference between the two programs Linux and Unix? And where can I buy them? Also if you have any general information on them like how they run and if they can run on the same computor as microsoft and if they slow your computer down and so on. Thanks What is the difference between the two programs Linux and Unix? And where can I buy them? Also if you have any general information on them like how they run and if they can run on the same computor as microsoft and if they slow your computer down and so on. Thankswww.wikipedia.org is also a good source of general knowledge I always thought Unix meant anything unix-like, but its actually a trademark! I am right that Linux BSD Solaris AIX HP-UX IRIX Ultrix etc are termed as derivatives. Linux also has SEVERAL derivatives, such as RedHat Suse Ubuntu Debian CentOS .... which are all based on the GNU Linux kernel. Linux is the main unix-like system for Intel/AMD based computers (what you would call a PC), whereas the others tend to mainly run on other types of computer (servers or mainframe-class computers). I run Solaris and Suse on my PC and my servers. When I boot the PC in Solaris or Suse mode, I cannot run Windows as a whole* but can access windows FORMATTED disks, and can run some Windows programs in an emulator called wine. Although I never use wine because Suse and Solaris have all the programs I need (esp. OpenOffice). * Actually I can with VMWare. On my laptop I run Windows XP and then I run a program called VMWare which allows me to simultaneously run CentOs. My Acer 5672WLMi is able to do web browsing and downloads under Windows XP, at the same time as running an Asterisk telephone exchange under CentOs which is handling a 3-way conference call between my me, my wife and my mum. It does all this over Wifi and I haven't noticed it slowing down yet.Wow thats perfect. Thank you. I do have 1 more question though. I have heard that trying to learn how to program using microsoft is like "trying to danc in a BODY cast" hehehe. What other programs would allow me to easier learn to program?I think you need to be more specific. Exactly what type of programming or what progamming language are you wanting to learn? umm well I already know HTML and XHTML and Im going to start on Python and then Perl and eventually C or C++.Quote umm well I already know HTML and XHTML and Im going to start on Python and then Perl and eventually C or C++.i would recommend you to start with C/C++. After you think you are good enough, then go for other higher level languages like Perl/Python, etc...For my money, javascript and PHP are amongst the easiest languages to learn. If the OP's intentions are web-orientated, then there's probably no need to get down and dirty with the horrors of C!! Quote For my money, javascript and PHP are amongst the easiest languages to learn. If the OP's intentions are web-orientated, then there's probably no need to get down and dirty with the horrors of C!!True, although I too do not like to program in C, but can't deny the fact that its what makes every other things possible. you know what i mean :-)Quote can't deny the fact that its what makes every other things possible. you know what i mean :-)Agreed. Although I do hear that there still exist some heavily bearded FELLOWS who program LARGELY in assembly language. And some even more heavily bearded, extremely pasty, secretive, nocturnal, and almost never seen individuals that prefer the rigours of machine code! |

Solve : How to install Ubundu linux? |
Answer» hi everybody. i am new in the linux OS. i have 2 questions to ask. 1)The first is how to install ubundu linux in a computer running Windows 98. I do not want to run both OS just linux. I would be grateful if someone could give me a step by step guide on how to do this. Turn the computer on, and insert the Ubuntu disk before the BIOS finishes setting up. Then using the instructions Rob's suggested, repartition the disk with just Ubuntu. NB: This will erase Windows 98 completely Quote 2)The second question is how to install ubundu linux in a computer running windows xp but i would like linux to run in a virtual machine an more specifically in the vmware software.Again Install VMWare and license it. Then from the VMWare window create a linux environment and allocate it some disk space (memory, CPU, network bridging, should get allocated by default - but you might want to tune this). Then insert the Ubuntu disk, and tell VMWare to "Power on" the linux environment. Ubuntu will see a virtual disk, which you can partition completely as Ubuntu without risk of overwriting WinXP. (This vitual disk will actually be a very large WinXP FILE). Its as simple as that. I can't give you specifics about Ubuntu setup itself, as I've only run Solaris 11, Suse and Asterisk NOW (CentOS based). |

Solve : WiFi programs? |
Answer» I am using Ubuntu, and our whole network is wireless.
If you don't get a REPLY to solve it here, and want to keep looking around for help, try www.linuxquestions.org See the forums there. Very active. There are distro specific sub-forums too - including Ubuntu. I don't usually follow it - I just stumble through the newbie forum mainly. I see questions all the time about wifi troubles. Apparently it is a common thing. If you use the Search function there, you'll find a lot of posts to look through. Maybe that will help. Hope so. The trick to Linux networking problems is to BUY hardware that is already known to work and have drivers for Linux. I'm sure you love getting that advice right now!!!! Quote The trick to Linux networking problems is to buy hardware that is already known to work and have drivers for Linux.It is shown on some resources to be compatinble, one user of the Ubuntu forums posted info on exactly how to get the WG111 to work, however, I didnt have the absolutely Linux compatible driver. Quote If you don't get a reply to solve it here, and want to keep looking around for help, try www.linuxquestions.orgI will try that sometime, thanks Willy WQuote from: Zylstra on March 24, 2007, 07:39:35 PM I am using Ubuntu, and our whole network is wireless. I'm a Linux noob and if I can do this, so can you. First I wouldn't be looking for a "wifi setup program"...that is already built into most current distros. What you need is the correct driver for the chipset in your wireless device. If I had my druthers, I would go for a supported PCI or PCMCIA card before a USB device. I consider USB for networking a compromise. Anyway, as Rob Pomeroy stated, seek supported hardware. Here are a couple of lists that I used when shopping for my LAPTOP card : http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_hostif.php?hostif=PCMCIA http://seattlewireless.net/HardwareComparison One of my desktops uses a D-Link DWL-G510 PCI card and the other has a Linksys WMP54G PCI card. Both of these machines were point-and-click easy to set up under Kubuntu 6.06 and SuSE 10.0 The easiest setup for me thus far was my old lappy using an Orinoco "Silver" PCMCIA card under Puppy 2.14 All of these setups were done with the built-in Linux drivers. No downloading drivers, no command line. The key is to start with the correct hardware. Edit: Add PCLinuxOS with the DWL- G510 (Atheros chipset) to the mix It seems that the majority of the problem was that I have a WG111v2, which has had some compatibility problems with Linux... I decided to give up for now, but I will be trying again later. I was hoping to get Ubutnu server running (yeah, I know, it wouldent do too well on WiFi) but our electricity BILL is sky-rocketing already! I am going to try linuxquestions.org and see if there is another solution. I would also like to attempt to get both Windows and Linux installed, but we will see how that works out later. |

Solve : Problems running PCLinuxOS LiveCD? |
Answer» I'm a newbie, although I have tinkered with Unix before today. I have just tried to run a PCLinuxOS v9.3 - big daddy - from my CD on an XP configured machine by simply altering the boot drive sequence. I get the list of boot options as expected and choose LIVECD - default. The PCLinuxOS coloured badge appears and starts the loading process, then I get an error message "ERROR: Unable to mount the livecd" - "dropping you to a limited shell". It then loads /initrd/bin/ash - ending with a message - "cant access tty; job control turned off" and then leaves me with the ash command prompt. Live CD ran but a little slow.Try running Windows off a CD!!! Quote Now have to get to grips with what an ISO image is prior to the installation.I don't follow you - haven't you've already created a burnt CD from an ISO?I bought a distribution CD from Linuxman Rob - so it's all pretty new to me.Ah, got you. If you have a fat enough internet pipe, you can download different Linux distributions rapidly. Once you have the ISO images, use something like DeepBurner (see the software FAQ - link is in my signature) to write to CD. But I do recommend using >md5summer< prior to burning to verify your downloaded ISOs.Thanks for the info Rob - have just returned from holiday. |

Solve : best os?? |
Answer» hey, witch is a better os solaris vista or red hat ? do non windows operating systems support regular file extentions? if they dont , is their much software available?Better for what purpose? Each OS has their own advantages and disadvantages. Solaris) Solaris 10 is really good for real time processing, such as is required for running an Asterisk PBX. Solaris scales better than linux on systems with 8+ CPUs Sun Microsystems provides excellent quality support. When I worked there, we answered 98% of calls by a human within 4 rings, and resolved about 85% of customer support issues within 15 MINUTES (but the support CONTRACT is very expensive, at the beginning of the 90's my company paid Sun £115,000/quarter for 110 servers and that was for a "bronze" support contract) StarOffice will open almost any windows file type and is FREE Linux) Is FREE. Its is guaranteed to always be free by the GNU public license. Runs fater than Solaris on single/dual CPU servers. Whenever you need to add new hardware/software you often have to compile it yourself. Sometimes searching google frequently for solutions to problems, or even having to modify the code yourself. OpenOffice will open almost any windows file type and is FREE Vista/XP) Its simple point-and-click. EVERYONE knows the basics of how to use it. Most games and home software is easily available for it, and is fairly simple to install. Windows is generally affordable by most people. MS Office will open only MS windows file types and that's what everyone else uses, BUT it costs money. OpenOffice will install on Windows and open almost any windows file type and is FREE |

Solve : how to remove linux? |
Answer» i have vector SOHO on my computer. I never use it so I want the hard drive space for games since only have a 40 gig hard drive. I have a bootable CD with Gparted on it so I can delete the linux partition and resize the windows partition but I do not know how to get rid of the bootloader.If it's GRUB, its configuration settings are contained with the Linux partition typically, so you may destroy it when you wipe the partition. A repair installation of XP should bring XP's bootloader back.Actually GRUB is installed in the MBR for the disk. I think it gets some of its config from the linux partition too. Just removing the linux partition will not remove GRUB, but it might FAILSAFE so its unnoticeable. I think it gets some of its config from the linux partition too.Swatisaid. the bootloader is LILO and i don't have a windows XP CD. is there a way to get rid of the bootloader without it? I can get a CD if it's the only way.You can do what Banjo suggested, with Lilo instead - set it up so that it boots to Windows after, say, 1 second's delay. Failing that, you would need a Windows CD to install Windows' bootloader. Every OS needs one.I'd rather just use the windows CD because when I tried changing the default OS to load in LILO it put windows twice, one labeled windows and the other labeled hda1 and its all messed up so I'd rather just make it clean.I have XP home installed, can I use an XP professional CD to do the repair install? Does it matter which service pack the CD is?No, yes.This is easy done, I did it just then myself. Insert the Windows disk (home or professional doesn't matter). This way no repair installation is necessary. Let the disk load and open the recovery console ("R" key). Type "fixboot" and press "y" for yes. Then do "fixmbr" and "y" for yes. Reboot your computer and when windows loads, just format the linux partition or drive. All removed hassle free. Hope that helps.Yes that's exactly it FIXBOOT and FIXMBR are the new commands under Windows XP If they exist on normal XP (I'm booted under Solaris at the mo) then you can run them without even needing the XP install CD. (I could only remember the COMMAND as FDISK /MBR on Windows 98)Actually, it can't be done through the command prompt (i.e. while logged on or in safe mode). It has to be done through the recovery console on the disc.This thread reminds me of a situation I was in with my DUAL-boot XP/Fedora laptop. I was having several problems with Fedora that I couldn't fix so I decided to reinstall. Instead of just reinstalling over the existing Linux partitions on my hard drive, I decided to boot into Windows and use Partition Magic to delete the partitions altogether (don't ASK me why). After REBOOTING I expected Windows XP to automatically kick in, but instead I got a message saying something to the effect of. "No OS found". Luckily I had my trusty Symantec Recovery CD so I booted to it and fixed the MBR. Afterwards Windows XP thankfully came up. Since we're on this topic, can anyone tell me how to set up a multiboot system with more than 2 operating systems? Currently my machine boots to grub.conf and asks if I want Windows XP or Fedora. What happens after I install other OS'es, like Solaris and Ubuntu? Will I have to edit grub.conf manually to reference the new partitions? It should automatically detect that there are other OS's there and install itself and modify GRUB accordingly. It seems that Vista comes with its own dual booter which installs and works similarly to GRUB.I had dual boot Suse linux and WinXP on my system and then I installed Solaris. Unfortunately, Solaris didn't recognise what Suse was so it only put Solaris and WinXP in the GRUB menu. I fixed this simply by editting /boot/grub/menu.lst and adding the lines for Suse. In order to make sure I got them correct I copied them from the Suse / filesystem. Then I ran grub-install manually and that fixed it. |

Solve : removing windows, installing linux? |
Answer» If i want to install linux on my computer and remove windows would i just boot the linux dvd? Or how would i do that?All depends on the distro of Linux you plan on installing. However in most SITUATIONS most distros (variants) of Linux will setup the hard disk drive (erase it) before installing Linux. So since you wish to remove Windows I'd suggest inserting the Linux CD/DVD and starting the Install.Its fedoraI'm familiar with Fedora, however, UNFORTUNATELY have not yet INSTALLED it on any machine here. I'd suggest simply trying to install it. If it doesn't work post what the error is and I should be able to assist you further. |

Solve : Creating a dual boot? |
Answer» A few years AGO I set up my old lap-top to a dual boot between DOS and Linux. I want to set that up on another computer - but, I cant remember how - does anyone have a referance I can go to? I want to switch between WINDOWS-ME and Linux (mainly because - Linux does not have the drivers for my D-link wireless)I'm attempting a similar project on my desktop.. O'm having trouble using fdisk to create a new partition in preparation for the Linux distro. Use Norton Partition Magic to create space for a linux distribution partition on your hard drive. The new and some previous versions of Ubuntu Linux automatically install a dual boot with "Grub". This allows you to select which OS you want to load at start up. This thread was resurrected from 2004. I think it is safe to say the original poster got it solved one way or the other. Please, people, TRY to stay relevant.I've built several desktops and all of them dual boot. I've even got my old IBM Thinkpad 390E to dualboot Xubuntu and Win2K. In the desktops I use two different hard drives. I use PATA (with the wide flat ribbon cable) drives as they are easiest to get going. Install Windows into the first drive. You install windows first because it will over write the bootloader if you don't rendering your linux install useless. Then install linux into the second drive. GRUB (or LILO) will be installed to the MBR and when booted should present you with a choice between linux or windows. Good Luck!Quote from: GX1_Man on April 14, 2007, 09:21:09 PM Quote from: phoenix910 on April 05, 2007, 04:04:49 AMUse Norton Partition Magic to create space for a linux distribution partition on your hard drive.

I think I can smell dead people. Dear http://www.blackviper.com see that Hey man, I still keep in touch w/ blckvipr. And just for the HECK of it. When I want to set up a separate part after the fact I use part magic. Worked for me at least. |

Answer» what commands control serial ports on a linux computerummm maybe you should put this in the linux section of the forum under the software sectiontelnet telnet is a program that uses TCP/IP, FTP, COM, etc. to communicate with devices.Ahem ... Code: [Select]User Commands telnet(1) open [ -l user ] [ [!] @hop1 [@hop2 ...]@host [ port ] Open a connection to the named host. If no port NUMBER is specified, telnet will attempt to contact a TELNET server at the default port. The host specification may be either a host name (see hosts(4), ipnodes(4)) or an Internet address specified in the "dot notation" (see inet( 7P) or inet6( 7P)). If the host is specified as @[emailprotected]@host, the connection goes through hosts hop1 and hop2, using loose source routing to end at host. The "@" symbol is required as a separator between the hosts specified. If a leading ! is used with IPv4, the connec- tion follows strict source routing. The -l option passes the user as the value of the ENVIRON variable USER to the remote system. No mention of serial ports there. The port its talking about is the TCP/IP port number (e.g. 23 for telnet or 80 for http) Perhaps, you're thinking about a Terminal Server where you could connect to the 1st serial port with Code: [Select]telnet termsrvhostname 5001 and use 5002 to connect to the 2nd serial port, etc ...Quote from: aik on April 24, 2007, 04:26:10 PM what commands control serial ports on a linux computer Is this what you're looking for? Code: [Select]MINICOM(1) MINICOM(1) NAME minicom - friendly serial communication program SYNOPSIS minicom [-somMlwz8] [-c on|off] [-S script] [-d entry] [-a on|off] [-t term] [-p pty] [-C capturefile] [configuration] DESCRIPTION minicom is a communication program which somewhat resembles the share- ware program TELIX but is free with source code and runs under most unices. Features include dialing directory with auto-redial, support for UUCP-style lock files on serial devices, a seperate script language interpreter, capture to file, multiple users with individual CONFIGURA- tions, and more. ... ... ... Serial port setup *A - Serial device /dev/tty1 or /dev/ttyS1 for most people. /dev/cua<n> is still possible under linux, but not recommended any more because these devices are OBSOLETE and many newly installed systems with kernel 2.2.x or newer don't have them. Use /dev/ttyS<n> instead. You may also have /dev/modem as a symlink to the real device. If you have modems connected to two or more serial ports, you may specify all of them here in a list separated by space, comma or semicolon. When Minicom starts, it checks the list until it finds an available modem and uses that one. (However, you can't specify different init strings to them ..at least not yet.) To use a UNIX socket for communication the device name must be prefixed with "unix#" following by the full path and the file- name of the socket. Minicom will then try to connect to this socket as a client. As long as it cannot connect to the socket it stays 'offline'. As soon as the connection establishes, minicom goes 'online'. If the server closes the socket, minicom switches to 'offline' again. ... ... ... honestly, I haven't used telnet myself. All I did was watch another guy in the IT department as he hooked up a serial cable to a cisco switch and typed in 'telnet' into the command prompt, along with some other commands afterwards. I apologize if I seemed like a know-it-all.Quote from: michaewlewis on May 14, 2007, 04:31:12 PM honestly, I haven't used telnet myself.

NP - "too err is human, to really fowl things up requires a computer" BTW, Cisco make Terminal Servers as well as Switches and Routers, so that wasn't a "switch" it was a "terminal server".no, its a switch. It's a Catalyst 3750. Unless you're saying all the cisco switches have terminal servers BUILT in to them?Quote from: michaewlewis on May 14, 2007, 04:31:12 PM honestly, I haven't used telnet myself.

Unless you're saying all the cisco switches have terminal servers built in to them? The Catalyst 3750 Series of switches don't have anywhere to connect a serial cable. I know you can use RJ45 for serial connections (I do so myself), but the data sheet says it only supports 10/100/1000/10000Mb ethernet or PoE on the RJ45 connections or SFP connections which aren't used for serial. So either the cable wasn't being used as a serial cable or he didn't plug into the switch. |

Please don't make it hard! Literally, you can PUT a linux a machine on the same LAN as a windows machine and they will both be able to connect to the internet (but wont necessarily talk to each other). HOWEVER, I don't think that's what you mean. I'm guessing you want to know if you can share stuff between them on the network neighbourhood. In which case the answer is to CONFIGURE Samba on the linux machine (most of them have it installed).Also make sure you set smbpasswd on your Linux box. B. |

Solve : Linux Ubuntu / Linksys Wireless PCMCIA card? |
Answer» Hi! It's been a while. I know you all missed me and would like to do nothing better than hug me all day long. Hello,Quote I noticed that GX1_man left. Hooray! Don't remember why I disliked him, but it feels right anyway.Last Online: Today at 12:11:42* Last Post: Yesterday at 20:42:09* Is that your odd sense of humour? For the record, GX1_Man is great.I meant GX2_man: GX2_Man And I haven't got an odd sense of humour! It's perfectly compatible..That's a relief. Re your wireless problem - firstly do you have a regular ethernet connection on this computer, and has you managed to get that working? Are you using the very latest Xubuntu distribution?Quote That's a relief. No, I has not managed to get that working. The laptop is pretty old, it features one USB port and the only NIC I have for it is USB. I figured that if USB didn't work, I'd have just as much trouble getting my wireless to work. Is it important that I get it to work? I'll hook it up if it is.. That used to work fine under Windows XP as well. And I am using the latest distribution which is 6.10 for Xubuntu.Quote No, I has notOh poo. I'm ill and my proofreading has gone to pot. I would try and get the regular ethernet networking sorted first; that is easier to diagnose. If that doesn't work then it's unlikely you'll get the wireless networking to work. Too many "work"s in that paragraph. I don't remember offhand the command line tool for Ubuntu - something like system-configure-network - try it. Aim to configure eth0 first and then try some ping tests.Alright, I'll try getting that resolved first then. I don't see in how its related, though. It's a completely different interface (USB versus PCMCIA).. But I'll get to it during the weekend and report back.Just trust me. Quote from: Rob Pomeroy on March 22, 2007, 07:45:15 PM Just trust me. Don't consider the delay in my response as a sign of lack of faith, Rob! I finally had the time to reinstall Xubuntu (As I somehow couldn't log in anymore) and I hooked it up to the internet with an USB adaptor that was RECOGNIZED during the installation and continued to function afterwards. O.K. What's next, Rob? i essentially have the same problem did you ever get a resolution to change the state of the wireless card from disabled?Yeah, install Windows 2000 and leave Linux for what it is. Sorry, I didn't EVEN get an answer on the Ubuntu forums, tried several suggestions I found on the Internet, no go.

Solve : Cron job not running at all (shell script)? |
Answer» I am trying to setup a cron job but cannot get it to run at all. I have a shell script I want to run and like many others, I can get it to run from the command line but not through cron. I have tried all suggestions I can find but they don't seem to make any difference. 23 15 * * * /home/sde/sdecompress/sde_shutdown.sh > /home/sde/sdecompress/sde_sh You wont see anything happening at 23:15 as this is set to run at 15:23. For testing purposes set it to * * * * * so it runs every minute. Another thing to check, does AIX require that /home/sde/sdecompress/sde_shutdown.sh be listed in /etc/shells ? Quote from: dend on May 18, 2007, 08:34:45 AM .profile Your .profile wont execute within the same shell without a preceding . All commands should use the full pathname as the context of cron jobs is not the same as that inherited from a login E.g.Code: [Select]. /home/sde/.profile /usr/bin/echo this is a test /home/sde/sdecompress/sdemon -o shutdown -p sde -NThanks for your reply, I have been out of the office so couldn't post any sooner. I seem to have a bit more progress now. The script will run (the echo command works), but The problem seems to be RECOGNISING the 'sdemon command'; when I check my mail now it says (PATH name)/sde_shutdown[7]: sdemon: not found. If I were using another language it would be straightforward here - enclose it in quotes to get the whole line to run as it has spaces in. Is there a way around this in Unix?Quote from: dend on May 22, 2007, 04:50:24 AM Thanks for your reply, I have been out of the office so couldn't post any sooner. np Quote The problem seems to be recognising the 'sdemon command'; when I check my mail now it says (path name)/sde_shutdown[7]: sdemon: not found.

Solve : Dual boot Vista and Linux? |
Answer» My computer was preinsalled with vista and I would like to dual boot with linux... I installed Kanotix RC3 to a new partition I made and chose to put the bootloader Grub in the ROOT partition not MBR... This is the only way ive done it before im guessing because i only have 1hdd i have to put the bootloader in MBR.. will that erase the Vista bootloader, can some1 tell me how to go about dual booting both linux and Vista? I guess my most important question is, is there someway to recover vista MBR i.e. computer recovery disk You shouldn't need to recover the Vista MBR, as GRUB will let you boot Vista PROPERLY using its own MBR. (Only used Vista for 30minutes on a friends laptop, but on XP I can tell you that you need to boot the recovery disk and run FIXMBR to put the old XP MBR back) |

Solve : Difference Between Linux and Red hat Linux? |
Answer» Hi, What are the dirrerence between Linux and Red hat linux? That's similar to like saying what's the difference between fruit and apples? Linux is any version of unix-like operating system based upon the GNU linux kernel. Red Hat is one of those versions. Continuing the fruit analogy further. Unix* would be like plants, and Windows and Mac would be like minerals and ANIMALS. * one slight flaw is that although most people refer to any unix-like operating system e.g. Linux, Solaris, SunOS, BSD, AIX as "Unix", we're all wrong because Unix is actually a registered trade-mark.Quote from: chiranjib on May 23, 2007, 11:07:41 PM What are the dirrerence between Linux and Red hat linux? About $200.Quote from: banjo67xxx on May 24, 2007, 07:37:58 AM * one slight flaw is that although most people refer to any unix-like operating system e.g. Linux, Solaris, SunOS, BSD, AIX as "Unix", we're all wrong because Unix is actually a registered trade-mark. from Solaris 10 FAQ http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/faqs_general.jsp Quote The Solaris 10 Operating System is an open source UNIX operating system, and is available as a free download for both x86/x64 and SPARC systems. This release—the result of a $500-million plus investment in development by Sun—is the most advanced operating system on the planet. from "what is Unix" http://www.unix.org/what_is_unix.html Quote In 1994 Novell (who had acquired the UNIX systems business of AT&T/USL) decided to get out of that business. Rather than sell the business as a single entity, Novell transferred the rights to the UNIX trademark and the SPECIFICATION (that subsequently became the Single UNIX Specification) to The Open Group (at the time X/Open Company). Subsequently, it sold the source code and the product implementation (UNIXWARE) to SCO. The Open Group also owns the trademark UNIXWARE, transferred to them from SCO more recently.

However, the list below shows that not everything Posix is Unix, or even Linux http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX Quote Fully POSIX-compliant |

Solve : my comp wont boot? |
Answer» My computer is about 2001 it is a PC and I have my own hard drive in it. Until recently the computer has worked without any kind of issues. I currently dual boot Linux Ubuntu and Windows XP. Recently I installed a 5 1/4" floppy drive USING appropriate cables and the all of a sudden the computer won't even READ the hard drive so it wont boot. Does anyone know whats wrong? I'm kind of under the gun here so any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated. Recently I installed a 5 1/4" floppy drive using appropriate cables and the all of a sudden the computer won't even read the hard drive so it wont boot. Have you tried removing the 5 1/4 floppy? Sounds like it might be intefering with your IDE bus. If you've already removed it, then did you use an ESD kit during installation and removal? Static electricity can destory computer chips from inches away without you even noticing!!! If this is the case, try moving your HDD to another IDE bus, otherwise you'll have to replace the motherboard. Of course, it COULD be that your HDD has just died on the same day, in which case you'll need a new HDD INSTEAD of motherboard. |

Solve : mentor? |
Answer» OK.. PLZ .. someone has to guide me step by step towards learning linux... The BEST way that I've found to learn is just to jump right into it. Start doing things. If/when you get stuck, research it, go through forums until you figure it out. Just keep messing around, tweaking, and breaking things and you'll get the hang of things very soon. The best way to learn anything is to just do it. Get in and get your hands dirty. My $0.02...Ok.. i was just askin.. Haha. Sorry if I seemed a little blunt there. Some good sites to check out if you have any QUESTIONS are: www.linuxquestions.org www.ubuntuforums.org Both sites have very knowledgeable people who are very nice and will help you with whatever troubles you may be having. Even if you do not choose Ubuntu for your distro, you can still learn a lot from reading through those forums.I got a couple pointers. Take a good, long, hard look at each of your config files (xorg.conf, httpd.conf, php.conf, smb.conf, etc.). Figure out what each line does in each of them. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-config.html - First result after a Yahoo! search for linux conf files. (I might look at it a little more myself) Also, learn a programming language (or several). Perl is supposed to be a good beginner's language. even i looked thru the config files from the same website... i was just goin thru them.... Any other files i shud look out for... <>Quote from: naren_arsenal on July 06, 2007, 05:26:04 AM <<contrex u r doin it again doug!!!u pissin me off>> Why? I gave you good, truthful advice.

My Computer is a Pentium 3, 512mb ram, 733mhz, and 40gig hd and I'd like to keep my Xp on the harddrive and dual boot between the two. MY friends computer is a Pentium 2 with 128mb ram and thats all I can remember off the top of my head. Anyone have a suggestion for a Linux Distro I should try? I am not your linux guru. In the ocean of information that is linux, I have learned a thimble full. I'm a couple baby steps ahead of you is all. That said - here's an idea for you to try, until you get some better advice. Play around with some linux Live CDs. Free to download. Although if you don't have a fast connection, you're going to be downloading for quite a while! After you d/l, burn it to a CD. Boot from that CD, and you're running linux! No changes to your hard drive. No permanent install. The downside: it is not usually a 'complete' version of some distro. After all, it fits on one CD. It can be slow - again, it may be running from CD. ( some allow you to load the whole thing into ram, if you have enough) I'm not suggesting this as an alternative to a complete installation of linux. I don't think it is fair to compare them. But - for exposure for new comers like us - it is great! Here are some links for you to explore: http://www.puppylinux.org/user/viewpage.php?page_id=1 Puppy linux is small - you can read about it there - something like 50 or 60 meg. They have forums there too. http://www.slax.org/ Bigger. 200 or so meg. More features. Forums here too. http://www.knoppix.org/ (click a flag to get your language) Big. 700 meg. I haven't tried this one yet. It is often the one that is most often mentioned when anyone is talking about Live CDs. There are others. Many. You can google for them. You can also visit: http://www.livecdnews.com/ and http://distrowatch.com/ and http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php You're going to be reading for a while! Other interesting sites for you to visit: www.linuxquestions.org www.linuxforums.org You're completely new to linux, right? Go here: http://www.linux.org/lessons/ Start with the link: Getting Started with Linux - Beginner's Course Don't worry that it is talking about Debian/Gnu linux.... it is good to get yourself oriented and exposed to some of the new words that you're going to be using. I found the courses there very helpful. The first one goes quick... I don't know...it's been a while since I read it all .... maybe an hour or less to read it. Did I already say that you're going to be doing some reading? http://linuxcommand.org/ Another one to bookmark. You'll see, someday. About your original question: Which distro for you? You're never going to get just one answer. Perhaps you will get some recommendations based on your hardware - let's see what you get with that. Be prepared though for answers like: try one... if you don't like it, try another. Your question gets asked a lot, check those other forums - more linux only oriented - skim around.... you'll see. Be prepared for a different world. Sometimes it can be frustrating when you know what you want to do, but don't know how. You learn a new level of patience. Thank You Very much for your very informative reply Willy. I guess I know what I'll be doing today Quote Thank You Very much for your very informative reply Willy. I guess I know what I'll be doing today Are you on cable, or dsl? Grab Puppy. Burn it to CD ( don't make the mistake of just copying the one big file to CD - use your burning software's feature to burn from ISO or whatever it is called in your software. ) Check to be sure that your computer is set up to boot from CD. Put in your new Puppy Linux and boot it! IF[/b] Puppy detects your ethernet card, assuming that is what you have, you can use it's connection WIZARD to get going with the internet. Puppy comes with a web browser, so if you can get connected, you can visit back here and let us know. Fwiw, Puppy did detect my ethernet card, and I got right on the internet again.... after I d/l'd the newest version of Puppy. My first d/l was a slightly older version, and it did not detect my card. I still have not gotten Slax to detect my card. It has been most interesting to research it though. I forgot to mention in my first post: DSL ( *censored* Small Linux ) deserves mention too. Many folks recommend it for a Live CD distro. I probably failed to mention it because I myself haven't gotten around to trying it yet. Keep us posted! Edit: It appears that the board will not let me use the exact name of "DSL" linux. It is automatically changing the first word to "darn". You can figure it out, if you need to google for it. Well I've Downloaded Puppy Linux, and it says I can run it off a USB stick but I have only usb.1.1 ports. But it still probably be faster then running it off my CD drive because it is an old cd drive.Quote Well I've Downloaded Puppy Linux, and it says I can run it off a USB stick but I have only usb.1.1 ports. But it still probably be faster then running it off my CD drive because it is an old cd drive. Can't help you there. I've only done it with a CD. My CD drive is probably 7 years old or older. It worked fine in it. The drive claims to be 40x. CDs are fairly cheap. Burn it and give it a whirl. Might be less complicated to get it going - but again, I'm not sure. Been a while since I loaded Puppy, but I think it offered the option, during the boot up process, to let you load it all into ram. But you can experiment with that, if it is there, later. I'd go with the easiest, most simple way for my first try. Question, Do I need a boot disc in order for it to boot? It starts up it goes to a screen about Puppy then it says System ***** (Cant remember word lol).Quote Question, Do I need a boot disc in order for it to boot? The CD is the boot disk. Wait... did you mean 'do you need a boot floppy disk?' If so - nope. Boots with only the CD. Quote It starts up it goes to a screen about Puppy then it says System ***** (Cant remember word lol). And it has been a while since I booted Puppy, so I dont' remember either. I remember that at some point it asks you questions. You have to tell it that you want to use a U.S. keyboard, for example. And there are a couple options for video/graphics driver. I used the simplest one, whatever it was called. Be back shortly, I hope. I need to boot Slax for something, and if I have time, I'll boot Puppy too. I found out what it says: Uncompressing Linux..... Crc Error-- System stop (Not sure if It said stop but the rest I know is true).

Nero saved it as an ISO file? sorry... I'm lost. Quote Im assuming I did something wrong there. Could be. But I got lost, so I'm not sure. I'm going to visit the Puppy site for a couple minutes. I'll check back to see if you've replied. Quote
If I'm understanding you, you downloaded a rar file. I don't know where you got it though. I'm on: http://www.puppylinux.org/user/downloads.php?cat_id=1 right now.

" If I click the download link there, I'm starting to d/l an 84 MB file named: puppy-2.13-seamonkey-fulldrivers.iso ( That's a newer version than what I have - the description sounds very nice too! If I were you, I'd go with that version, rather than the older version right below it , 2.12, .... that's what I have. ) See "md5sum:.... " ? Right below that is a clickable link, "More Information". Click that and read. Just basic info, but it can't hurt. Regarding the md5sum itself: Somewhere on that site it tells you how to use that. It is for checking your download, to be sure it is good, before you burn it. Me... I didn't. I just burned it, and it worked. But you can bet that if it hadn't, I'd have been doing the checksum. I hope this helps. Well I didnt get my file from there it was some random FTP thing. Thanks For link. Also thank you for all your help.Can you have a look at your CD, using Windoze?
