sir
there are no sirs...please refer to everyone on the list on an equal footing.
I recently installed linux 8.0 But facing some problems:
- Unable to detect modem
Please specify details of the modem...model/make/internal/external...
- Unable to access data of windows from linux and vice-versa
Assuming you have a windows "C drive", create a link cdrive as in mkdir /mnt/cdrive then Edit /etc/fstab...(read the fstab and mount manpages) create an entry in /etc/fstab with your4 fav editor /dev/hda1 /mnt/cdrive vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0 Check whether your windows "cdrive" is really on /dev/hda1
- Where to do programming unable to find editor etc.
Lots of 'em...try vi/emacs/jed/nano/pico/xemacs/scite/xedit/kwriter/gedit....look in the CDs for these or soem similar sounding packages
- where are files of linux source code stored as it as open
source software
cd /usr/src/linux... http://www.kernel.org If you want the src of the packages, try http://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/9/en/os/i386/SRPMS/
- Linux automatically boots after 7 seconds. Can this setting be
changed
Check which bootloader yuo are using....for lilo, check /etc/lilo.conf and for grub, try editing it from the boot menu
REad the redhat manual from their website....

Which linux 8.0? Linux is just 2.4 now.
You've probably installed a GNU/Linux based operating system. This could be RedHat Linux 8.0, SuSE Linux 8.0, etc. It's usually more helpful if you state the name and version no. of the operating system software.
As of this writing, there's no such thing as linux 8.0.
But facing some problems:
- Unable to detect modem
Use wvdial, RedHat Internet Dialer (I think) on RedHat, or kppp (a dialer in the K Desktop Environment). They're able to detect the modem and set you online.
- Unable to access data of windows from linux and vice-versa
You have to mount the partition where Windows was installed. If Windows was installed on /dev/hda5 you have to:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/windows
/mnt/windows is the "mount point" where the the file system will be accessible.
Your Popular Linux 8.0 is supposed to set this up automatically during installation. Please refer to the manual for details.
- Where to do programming unable to find editor etc.
On most GNU/Linux based operating systems, these are the defaults:
Editor - ed, vi, vim, emacs, pico Compiler - gcc, g++, javac Interpreter - java, perl, python [, bash, sed, awk, etc. etc.] Debugger - gdb, jdb
Then there are development toolkits for various stuff, profilers, etc.
Try the command "apropos editor" to see the names of all editors on your system. "apropos compiler", and so on.
- where are files of linux source code stored as it as open source software
/usr/src/linux
- Linux automatically boots after 7 seconds. Can this setting be changed
On many GNU/Linux based operating systems, you can just edit the file /etc/lilo.conf and set the timeout option there. Then you run the /sbin/lilo command to make the change take effect. If this doesn't work for you, you're probably using another boot loader. In any case, consult your system manual.

Manish,
If you didnt knew that you cannot call RedHat Linux, unless you buy a box pack from RH reseller channel. So the download version has to be named anything other then RH linux, so i feel if someone says Linux 8.0, he must have got that printed on the Downloaded CD which he must have bought..
Dhiraj,
1) Unable to Detect Modem A) Do you have Internal modem ?? (wat config options you tried b4 u came to the above conclusion ?)
2) Unable to access data from windows from linux and vice-versa A) Again here the same question goes back to you, what options did you try ??

You could have a point there. On the following link you would find that there are different binary packages available for download but mentioned in a way which I found a bit unusual. For example, it says, RedHat 8 RPM i386 packages: GTK version (about 4,660,000 bytes) AND Linux RedHat 8: GTK version (about 3,532,000 bytes)
Both are different packages with different package size.Now what is the difference intended by saying "RedHat 8 RPM" packages and "Linux RedHat 8" packages? For instance, I am using RedHat Linux 8 (downloadable version - Not a Box pack), which package should I download? I couldn't make out.The same is the case with Debian packages also. (Debian 3 & Linux Debian 3). Let me admit that I was not able to search further on the website on this issue due to time constraints.But anybody aware on this, please enlighten.
The link is as under,

Hi,
I want to set-up a firewall for my company.
Purpose it will serve : Incoming-outgoing ssh , sftp ,DNS, HTTP.
Is there any ready [GUI] package which will help in setting rules for Chains.
Which Linux OS variant will be suitable and safe ?

I think you would prefer the stateful iptables. Personally, I think understanding what your firewall ruleset is doing and using that is far more important. There are plenty of GUI tools available, you could just search on freshmeat.net

Use the one you like. Make a minimalistic stripped down install, remove even more stuff post install, patch fully. About the standard method for any Linux installation.

Take a look at Firestarter and redhat's own firewall builder tool. I also found this on web, looks neat,

Since you tool all that trouble to go so deep, could'nt you notice that one of teh packages was a .tgz and other an .rpm?

I believe then you shouldn't be allowed to call it Linux 8.0 either! Linux is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds. [*] He can take objection to someone calling it Linux 8.0.

PS: :-)
[*] Note:
1) Except in Germany, where the trademark just expired. 2) Except in Soviet Russia, where Linus Torvalds is a registered trademark of Linux.

Also look at Anjuta, the Development Studio for GNU/Linux. It's an integrated development environment that works very well with all the standard age-old tools like CVS, make, gcc, tags etc etc etc. If you are not the Emacs/Vim/favourite-text-editor variety, this is definitely the tool for you.

There's also Eclipse for Java. And now, C/C++: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-ecc/?ca=dnt-416

:-( This is sad. I am the "Vim is my favourite editor" variety and I don't use most IDEs because it's difficult/impossible to integrate Vim. The other day I was evaluating Eclipse for use at work and the only thing that really stopped me there was lack of Vim integration (heck, it doesn't even have vi/vim key bindings).
