I'm looking to install a Linux distro on my Windows 7 machine. Could anyone suggest any tools to handle the multiboot? (I may install 2-3 distros to try out)
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.
I'm going to be building a fancy new desktop soon, and I want to experiment with file systems. I know that ext3 is the most common for linux, but what about ext4, or zfs? Are their any pros or cons to certain ones?
I won't be doing anything spectacularly off the wall, just using it as my main box. It is a good possibility that it will double as my web server, though.
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!
This is probably trivial, but I'm quite new to Linux and I was unable to find any info online.
In a folder, I can execute the command find . -regex '.*py' and get the following result:
./.#netMHC3.2.py
Is this a file in the current directory? What can I do to display its contents?
Thank you
I need to access some Linux server behind NAT (no ports forwarded), so I need to have something like "phone home" like Teamviewer has. There is no GUI, but somebody can log in through SSH and dictate a password if it is changing (like Teamviewer). SSH (port 22) is enough (I can tunnel ports through SSH if I need). Any suggestions? How safe is it?
There are a few choices of music managers for linux. I am trying to decide on one also suports mp3player sync.
Can you tell me what app are you using and what cons and pros did you find for that app.
Thanks
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
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?
Does anyone know of a program/script that runs on Linux that can give us a nice GUI for browsing and managing shared system folders similar in the way that windows explorer would work?
So would allow, upload, download, file modification etc. It's a way to still have access to all our files stored on the system from any location with internet access.
Thanks in advance
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.
If so which version please?

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.
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?
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 :(
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.
We need to setup an intrusion detection system (IDS) on our linux proxy server. Please suggest intrusion detection systems ? anything else than Snort ?
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 don't have a subscription for RHEL anymore and I want to update my server. Can anyone tell me How to Update Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 using CentOS Repos ?

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

Hi,
I need to set up a linux network: central authentication server and laptops (maybe desktops). Laptops must cache credentials. What is the current best way to do that? Can kerberos be coerced into doing that? Should I install Samba WAD equivalent and use likewise?
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?
