I'll be honest. I have a huge bias in the distro choice, and preach Slackware to all. :cheesy: But I will be as far and honest in the matter as I can. Slackware. It has BSD style init scripts which are very straight forward when cusomizing system initialization at all …

If you want it to bring up a GUI login prompt automatically at boot you need to change your default runlevel. You do this by CAREFULLY editing the file '/etc/inittab' and changing the default from 3 to 4. If you don't mind the console prompt, but would like to bring …

I use this on Windows, and it is the perfect little tool. Nothing beats `uptime` though. ;-) [url]http://www.rundegren.com/software/windowsuptime/[/url]

Having linux clients to a terminal server is easy! [url]http://www.rdesktop.org/[/url] [url]http://www.nongnu.org/grdesktop/[/url] And somewhere on Citrix's site they provide a linux Citrix client as well.

Can you install a different OS, or use a different XP cd? I don't know which one the tecra 8100 is, but did it come with XP originally?

bash: #!/bin/bash DOMAIN=mydomain.com for client in ServerA ServerB ServerC ServerD do xhost +$client.$DOMAIN done MS-DOS: @echo off for..... crap..... I can't seem to get the for loop to work properly. Has anyone had much experience with batch files in DOS? I realize that running xhost inside of a batch file …

What would normally be the next message following the "card-02 texas..." line?

Many credible resources exist online. [url]http://tldp.org[/url] comes to mind. Some of it may be a bit dated, but lots of help is also available on IRC and various newsgroups.

It seems that this SCSI card is quite troublesome with linux. A quick google/groups.google search will show you this. Do you have another SCSI card that you can use? If not, try using the same machine with Knoppix, or some sort of "live cd" and see if you can get …

There may be a better way to create your site in a box, and center it, but in the past I have used the <center> tag for centering a 1x1 table, and then putting the rest of the content inside of the single table cell. I dunno if this is …

I'm assuming that your cd/dvd rom drive worked before you reformatted your computer. Did you use this same drive that is installed right now to load an operating system cd to format the hard drive? Does the bios recognize the drive, but your operating system does not? Are you able …

It is truly amazing how a lot of these hosting companies stay in business. I pushed out a real quick website for a "friend-of-a-friend" type of person and the hosting provider that this company was using was terrible. I can't tell you how many times there host went down for …

I am not a huge C programmer, but the best one I have seen (and I'm sure some other people would agree) is the Kernigan and Ritchie C book. (Spelling?) Awesome book that teaches nice, clean coding habits.

Is it XP Home, or Pro? Me is loaded full of issues, and has problems in a networked environment. If you can, replace that with a copy of XP Pro.

It is possible, to install the old motherboard, and then do a "File and settings transfer wizard" from the working installation. This will not copy over your software, but many of the settings for them. Backgrounds, preferences for size/view/etc, IE favorites. This program can also be customized to copy over …

It worked fine yesterday from the remote location, or internally? Does the server behind the router have a static IP as well? I'm assuming that it does since you bought a static IP for the ISP connection, but just in case. :P

Try to be more specific with the error message. It sounds like the cd is scratched. Does it work ok in a different computer? Can you use a different cd on this computer?

Not sure of what it is worth, but it is definitely a reliable little cpu. I personally love the celerons from that era. I have a 333mhz that was overclocked to 450mhz. That cpu is strong and stable. I use mine for my file server at home and it is …

To access the file put a \ before the space so that it will read "\ " (without the quotes of course) Then, you can rm/file/vi/etc. the file and figure out what it is. Special characters are often needed to be prepended with a \ in order to be used …

Do you get any error messages when you try to load it? What version of windows? Any recent changes to your system? Please try to be more specific when you post. :)

You can also try booting into Safe Mode so that Windows doesn't load a lot of the optional stuff that might be locking the file. Are you sure this is a file that you should be deleting?

No (legal) solutions that I can think of, so no one get any ideas! Although My first computer that had Windows 98 on it was an eMachines (I know what you are all thinking), and if I remember correctly, the code was stored on the cdrom somewhere. The code wasn't …

APC has done the same thing too. It is really disturbing that these big companies would include such backdoors. All it takes is one disgruntled employee to cause a lot of havoc. Sure, the developers of the systems would know of bugs, and other exploits as they did create the …

As far as I know, there is no sp4 for IE6.0. (someone correct me if I am wrong) This isn't a solution to your problem, but a note that you may want to edit your post.

This wasn't in college, but in high school, anything on the network besides windows 98 or 2000 was not allowed. Windows XP was not even allowed! Most of this was due to licensing issues, but the school district felt that any linux or bsd was only going to be used …

Not to hijack the thread, but if anyone knows of this in Pascal as well, that would be awesome.

Try Ad-aware, and all the "usuals." How did you remove Isearch before?

You need to remove the program from "Add/Remove Program Files" in control panel, not just by deleting the folder. If you for some reason must remove the folder manually, make sure to remove OPXPApp.exe from any startup, or kill it manually in the task manager if you can.

What version of windows are you using? For 9x/me: Start -> Run -> command For 2000/XP: Start -> Run -> cmd Then, at the prompt type: ipconfig /all and paste your output.

It may be that the ribbon that connects the screen to the video connector is either loose or damaged. If it is loose, then try to find a quick guide on opening up your laptop, and reattaching it. (Unless you can figure it out yourself of course) If it is …

Remember, no links to any cracking tools or sites.

You can also simply double-click on the FloppyFilter.reg, and it will ask you if you want to merge it in.

Are you running fsck/e2fsck?

Unfortunately, drivers from linuxant are no longer free for full usage. At least with mine, the speed is now limited to 14.4kbps with the "free" version. Luckily I had an old driver that was released under different terms, back when it was still "free" so full 56k for me! But …

How much RAM and how much swap are you talking about here?

I have not seen a product that accepts a USB instead of RJ45 modem, but Linksys does offer a product that is the ADSL modem, router, wireless access point, and 4-port ethernet switch all in one. I have not personally used this product but would recommend a Linksys product any …

Hrm. What OS is this? Were youa ble to get into safe mode?

Is this on a laptop? The track-points (the one that looks like an eraser head) are known to drift at times for no reason. Quite common, quite annoying. No real "fix" for this, just let it do it's thing and it stops tugging after a few seconds.

Wow, it is interesting how domains can change so much. Not sure if the ownership changed or not, but last time I checked (maybe 3 years ago) [url]www.com[/url] was doing internet radio hosting.

Do you mean: dmzbox -mail-> internal Exchange server dmzbox -website-> web server

I have seen this as well with auto-negotiation on Dell machines, as well as some PCMCIA NICs. Definetely hardcode the speeds, both on the switch (if possible) and on the actual computer. If 100mb-full doesn't work, then try 100mb-half, etc.

The only thing disappointing about having cable is the issue of blocking and filtering ports. :( I had DSL at 2 other places of residence and loved it (even though it was slower, though not by too much). I was able to do web/email hosting for me and my friends, …

Here is the setup: I have a Solaris box running the amanda backup server for all of the Solaris and Linux machines. It can backup all of the machines on the private network just fine, but there is one Redhat Linux 7.3 machine that sites outside of the firewall in …

Well, as far as the partitioning scheme goes, Sony has AFAIK always shipped there computers with a C: and D: drive, so that in the event the OS neeeds to be reinstalled (as with yours) One could do so, without having to format all of their personal files which "should" …

[QUOTE=Eico]I've used slackware for 4 years and never once have I been disappointed. [url="http://www.slackware.com"]http://www.slackware.com[/url][/QUOTE] I agree. Hands down, favorite distro. I have used Debian, Redhat, Mandrake, (and those based upon those mentioned), and a few other "niche" distros, and by far, I must say taht Slackware is my favorite. I …

Boxers or briefs? Wait, to hell with that one! Do you Yahoo? Bah...nevermind!

I get this error message now when running the command 'strings' on any file. obviously I have the command 'ls' in my $PATH, so that isn't the issue. I haven't made any recent changes to anything except for a GTK upgrade to 2.4.0. 'strings' is obviously not dependant on GTK …

Run Ad-Aware, and Spybot S&D, NOW!

Which process are you considering to be "pesky?" I would just disable those process for now, and see how your machine runs. If it is still running slow/unstable, then consider turning off more. Things that are not needed are things like Quicktime tray, Winamp agent, Netscape agent, Real Player tray, …
