What would the best Linux operating system for hosting a Web/SVN/etc. server? One thing that it needs to have is no windowing system installed by default.
Thanks in advance!
I have a linux (CentOS 5.2) server with the name myserver.mycompnay.com, which is correctly returned when I run 'hostname'. When I run 'hostname -s' however it returns "localhost" which is causing some backup scripts to put stuff in a "localhost" directory instead of a "myserver" directory.
All of our other CentOS boxes correctly return the first part of their hostname when 'hostname -s', where do I go on this server to make it behave the same? Other than having "HOSTNAME=myserver.mycompnay.com" in /etc/sysconfig/network what should I be looking at?
What are the advantages / disadvantages of using cooperative linux like portable ubuntu for example compared to a qemu or any other virtual machine installation. Is one option notably faster than the other plus and other things that should be taken into consideration.
Don't ask why, but I would like to know a linux command, besides "la -laR", since that could not take that long according to where you are in the folder structure, that takes much time to complete.
Thanks for your help.

Is there any Linux command which remembers directories I changed, and shows its stack with interacting operation to choose a directory such as pushing an arrow key on keyboard? This must be different from the way pushd/popd/dirs do.
hello
i compile & run a C program in linux terminal (using gcc). the program recieves as an argument a text file, parses it and outputs to screen and/or another text file.
for some reason. in some cases, when i run the program, i get "Abort" message on the shell, and i can't figure out why. does anyone have an idea why this happens?
thanks
hi,
i will get an ibm x3500 in the next days and wondered which linux i should use. i tend to use ubuntu 10.04 server, haven't heard anything bad about it and i'm a big debian fan.
there will be a raid 5 powered by the ibm hardware raid controller (don't know which one). is it possible to monitor and manage it wit hthe ubuntu 10.04 server distro? or should i go another way and choose something like redhat (haven't used it though...)?
thanks in advance

We need to setup an intrusion detection system (IDS) on our linux proxy server. Please suggest intrusion detection systems ? anything else than Snort ?
How can I passively monitor the packet loss on TCP connections to/from my machine?
Basically, I'd like a tool that sits in the background and watches TCP ack/nak/re-transmits to generate a report on which peer IP addresses "seem" to be experiencing heavy loss.
Most questions like this that I find of SF suggest using tools like iperf. But, I need to monitor connections to/from a real application on my machine.
Is this data just sitting there in the Linux TCP stack?
I am interested in a utility or process for monitoring disk IO per file on CentOS.
On Win2008, the resmon utility allows this type of drilldown, but none of the Linux utilities I have found do this (iostat, iotop, dstat, nmon).
My interest in monitoring IO bottlenecks on database servers. With MSSQL, I have found it an informative diagnostic to know which files / filespaces are getting hit the hardest.
I am a relative beginner when it comes to choosing web servers and hosting plans. I'm about to signup for a hosting plan with GoDaddy. My main requirement is ColdFusion and MySQL. The plans on offer include Linux and Windows based plans.
Which one should I choose, and why? I don't have a lot of requirements other than what I mentioned above. I never used Linux before but I doubt I'll ever need to do anything beyond tampering with my account.
What are the main advantages of one over the other?
I want to embed my network connectivity application into a linux installed rack-mount server and sell it bundled. I googled some but couldn't figured out which it would be?
Do you have any experiences with these types of hardware and recommend some?
How do I block a user from accessing the internet under Linux?
I'm trying the following:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80,443 -m owner --uid-owner $USERNAME -j DROP
Is that the right syntax or command?
Every time my computer (Gentoo linux) reboots the clock is several hours off:
/etc/localtime is set for the correct timezone
/etc/conf.d/clock lists the correct timezone
running sntp -r 0.gentoo.pool.ntp.org fixes the problem... until reboot
setting the time manually using date also fixes the problem... until reboot
The System clock is set to UTC
This is starting to drive me nuts :(
Is there any way to coax Gmail into pushing new-mail notifications into my Linux machine, without using a full-on graphical mail client like Thunderbird?
edit: Thanks for all the responses, but (unless I'm mistaken) these applications all poll, none of them receive notifications pushed from GMail.
Also, I'd prefer a console-based program, as this will be running on a headless server.
I'm looking for some software for Linux which will allow me to write and take my own quizzes. I want to have a way to test people about their technical knowledge. I'm looking for free software... any recommendations?
My laptop has a slightly damaged lcd - it has a black strip on the right that reduces the working resolution from 1400x1050 to about 1375x1050 - thus hiding part of the right edge of the desktop, windows, or the mouse pointer should it be unwise enough to stray there.
Is there a way in linux to crop the monitor output so as to keep the screen inside the working area of the monitor?
edit: this is the same question as Limit video output to a section of a display and leave the rest blank
Hi,
is there a way to provide post-mount and pre-umount scripts in Linux ?
I am trying to do some scripts on storage media when mounted and before umounting (for synching).
Any help appreciated.
I am primarily a programmer developing on windows based OS using c# as my primary language. I am evaluating Ubuntu Linux as an alternate platform and would like to know the best stack for doing web development on this.
I had gone through the following thread Moving development from Windows to Linux but it doesn't answer my questions fully.
Some of the points I am interested are outlined below
PHP/Ruby/Python (What would you recommend?)
Is Mono mature enough for any large scale development? Has anyone any real experience using Mono.
IDE (including debugging support, intellisense, source control integration,Unit testing)
Unit testing framework based on the language recommended
Web framework if any.
Load Testing tools
Web server (I know there are many webservers, but would like to know which one is primarily used by most people)
Your inputs is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi, What is the best way to install software in a linux machine if you dont have root permissions. I know that we can use few variables like PKG_CONFIG_PATH and switches like --prefix with configure to get a software installed in a local directory, but sometimes when there are recursive dependencies it is becoming tough for me to install all the packages manually. Is there a better automated way?
Update: What i meant by recursive dependencies is: to install package A, i should install package B, which in turn requires package C to be installed
