hello guys well when i attended the last Lug-meet an idea struck me back then when Prof.Nagarjun was explaining why its GNU/linux and not just linux. Also there was a nice response for the documentation and Gnoware cd's. what if we guys make a cd of GNU applications that run on windows,applications like open-office, the gimp etc... we can distribute this cd's which will effectively answer the question why its GNU/linux and also most of the people who use windows and are rather skeptical about Gnu-linux can get the feel of what its like.it will effectively solve their doubts and thus promote linux system. Just trying to contribute back DHANESH

I hate to burst your bubble. But someone else already had this idea before. Take a look at
GNUWin II http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/
and TheOpenCD http://www.theopencd.org/
Maybe you can help with localisation of GNUWin II.

Yeah... he does that pretty convincingly :)

This is a good idea... but allow me to point out this. A lot of things that make GNU/Linux, "GNU/Linux" deals with how the system has been designed according to good and open standards. Right from being ultra-stable to being virus-free has to do with how the entire OS has been designed and implemented...
My question to you is this: Will peddling some GPL'ed/Open Source applications give an authoritative and holistic picture of a real GNU/Linux system?
I think it would be much like the fake caviar they dish out on club-class flights...
On the other hand... you idea MAY help in lulling people to migrate slowly.
da> it will da> effectively solve their doubts and thus promote linux system. ^^^^^^ GNU/Linux !!!

That's good :).

Amol.....i respect your opinion but beg to differ. Migration isn't the alpha and omega of getting a person to use FLOSS. Time and again....i have found getting a person convinced about the superiority of the same is a faster route to achieving nirvana with FLOSS on his/her machine.
Its the mind my friend....you have won 90% of the battle there itself. The GUI(GTK/BlueCurve) does the rest...:D

We are running our internal website on a linux console for the local users. I would like to setup a DNS server so that the users do not have to type the IP of the Linux machine to access the site, but could instead type the name of the site.
We are using Tomcat on Redhat 9.0.
Can someone suggest me some useful URL's .

Hi,
I have been trying to configure bind on my linux machine but unable to do it till now.
My linux machine's IP is 192.168.1.1 and I would like to use the name miniserver.fleetship.com instead of using this IP. Also, the linux console is not connected to the internet as I'll be using the website for my local environment.
1. I am running Redhat 9.0
2. Installed bind rpm from the Linux cd (the rpm's were installed succesfully).
3. Created /etc/named.conf and made the necessary changes.
4. Made the necessary changes in /etc/resolve.conf
5. I have given details about my /etc/resolve.conf and /etc/named.conf file below.
6. When I run service named restart, I get the following messages
stopping named: rndc: connect failed: connection refused [FAILED] [OK]
Details : 1. /etc/named.conf
*************************************************************************
options { directory "/var/named"; }; controls { inet 192.168.1.1 allow { miniserver.fleetship.com;} keys { mdc_key;}; }; key "mdc_key" { algorithm hmax-md5; secret "c3Ryb25"; }; zone "."{ type hint; file "root.hints"; }; zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "zone/192.168.1"; }; zone "land-5.com" { type master; file"zone/land-5.com"; }; zone "177.6.206.in-addr/arpa"{ type master; file"zone/206.6.177"; }; **************************************************************************** **
2. /etc/resolv.conf
**************************************************************************** ** search fleetship.com domain fleetship.com nameserver 192.168.1.1

3. When I run #tail -f /var/log/messages and run service named restart I get the following messages in the log file
***************************************************************************

Check this link out. Frankly...bind9 is a waste of time and a pain to work with. A simple/secure/stable dns sytem can be setup using tinydns in seconds.

Hi all, Just recently I heard of this person who is blind and also happens to be a very good programmer. He uses Windows with a software called 'Jaws'. This software reads out whatever is on screen through the speaker. It also echoes keystrokes. Is there an alternative for it on linux? This gentleman wants to try out linux. Vivek
