Hi All, Came across an interesting paper which provides quantitative data about how FLOSS is superior to their proprietary counterparts. It examines market share, reliability, performance, scalability, security,total cost of ownership, unnecessary fears, usage reports and related links. http://www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html Regards, Dileep

help me
by allan dsouza 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

hello, I am writing in for the first time to this group. Please see if u can help me out with this problem. I have Red Hat 8.0 installed on my system. Kernel : 2.4.18-14 Setup : I have installed vncserver on the linux system. and i use the vncviewer(for windows) to access the xdesktop on the windows clients. (The windows clients and the linux system are in the same network). This works perfectly fine for one user. Working : Everyuser who wants to view his desktop via the vncviewer on the windows machine has to manually start the vncserver after logging in via telnet after which he is assigned an id for his desktop, then only he can see his desktop via the vncviewer where he specifies the id which was assigned when he started the vncserver. Problem : What i want to know is whether this process can be automated by the administrator so that everytime the machine starts the vncserver can be started for all the users in a sequence known by the administrator so that the id's of each of the users desktop would be know and only fixed id's could be given to the users to connect to their desktop. Please let me know if this problem can be solved. thank you, ALLAN --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.

default owner of file
by Sabu Thaliyath 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Hi, I want any directory or file created in my home dir (/home/sabu) to be owned by me irrespective of who creates it. I always do root login and when i create a file in my home dir the owner is root. I dont want to do 'su sabu' and then create the file ( I may be using mozilla ->save file as... ) or chown it later. Is there any way by which i can set the default owner of files in /home/sabu to sabu and not root....... regards, Sabu

How do I build a Linux Blackbox?
by Subba Rao 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Hello everyone, I am interested in building a Linux blackbox. The typical distros that I switch between are Slackware and Debian. When I do a typical install of these distro, I pretty much install everything. Once I configure a system for a specific need I would like to strip off the unnecesary "stuff". For example, the Web server, GCC compiler need not be on this black box anymore. It is easy to remove them as well. How do you determine the dependency chain for the "removable" tools? I do think leaving the GCC compiler on it is important since there are patches and kernel updates to be installed frequently. Regardless the function of the blackbox, what are the minimum set of tools that need to be left alone on a black box system? Thank you in advance for any information. -- Subba Rao subba9(a)cablespeed.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old American Wild West saying: God created men but Colt made them equal.
