All the stuff that I've done over the last year needs to be added but I think this could still be useful. I completely agree with Roshan that a user page serves as much better reference than a mailing list. Here is the link http://mndar.linux-fan.com . I think there have been references to it on this mailing list with regards to the pacenet connection. Let me know whether the HOW-TOs seem Beginner Friendly.

by Atanu Dey 28 Dec '06

Greetings All: As part of a new commercial venture that will provide educational services to educational institutions, I am interested in building a server-centric technology platform (servers, LAN, and network computers or thin clients). To that end, I am seeking Linux server software gurus for either consultation or full time employment. The company is based in the Pune/Mumbai region. My sincere apologies if this message is not appropriate to the forum. Thanks for any help and suggestions.

A Linux Brochure.
by Rony 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hello All, I have been struggling to get my sample text on the wiki but still learning. The page is more than 8 Kb so rejected by the mailing list admin. I have finally managed to put it on to google home pages and here is the link below: http://ronybill.googlepages.com/home Please go through it and give feedback. The brochure is meant to introduce people with no knowledge of linux, to linux. So it doesn't have to be detailed but give an overall picture about it. Regards, Rony.

Linux Brochure - Short Version
by Mrugesh Karnik 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Hi, Creating a new thread because the original has gone way too awry (I am to be blamed for it too, I guess :/ Sorry, anger got the better of me). Anyway, here's my version of the Brochure: http://floyd-n-milan.blogspot.com/2006/12/linux-brochure-short-version.html It's for anyone to copy, distribute or modify, if they want to. Just one (or is it two?) condition. The term ``GNU/Linux'' must not replace the term ``Linux based Distribution''. Any matter from that post must also not appear in any document that uses the term ``GNU/Linux'', unless it is used in the following context (quoting myself from a previous email to the list): > Do something. Create an OS which does NOT have Xorg, KDE, Apache, MySQL, > Postfix, Mozilla, OpenSSH etc etc etc. In essence, only the software > developed directly by the GNU project. Do NOT include software that's under > the GPL but not developed directly by GNU. Do NOT include the software > that's not under the GPL. I doubt any GNU projects use any other license > than the GPL. Use the Linux kernel. Call the OS GNU/Linux. If you can't abide by the condition, please do not use any of the matter. I personally won't stop you from breaching the condition though. That's completely up to you. Thank you. -- ---------------------------------------- Mrugesh Karnik GPG Key 0xBA6F1DA8 Public key on http://wwwkeys.pgp.net ----------------------------------------

Hi, I installed FC6 on Intel Core2 Duo Processor with Intel 946 chipset.When I installed at first time it get installed with normal FC6 kernel but when I installed after few days it will get installed with "fc6xen" kernel. What it stands for? Also when I am trying to change graphical mode(X Server) to text mode(80x25) and vice versa by using ctrl-alt-F1 and alt-F7 the display gets stretched or flickering. Some time shifting of graphics to text mode and vice versa is perfect by mostly it is abnormal. Even shifting during shutdown/reboot has the same problem. How can I solve this issue.Please Help.

Problem with running a long process on apache
by Pascal Nunes 26 Dec '06

26 Dec '06

I can run a script as the linux user apache. But when I try to invoke the same through a web-page running on the server (I am using the php system command) it does not execute, and I get a return value of 127. This script takes really long to run, can run for several minutes sometimes. I am clueless about why this is happening... Any suggestion to how a user can call it on a web server? -- Any tool is only as good as it is used. .:[ Pascal Nunes <http://pascal_nunes.blogspot.com> ]:.
