Rsync with another computer (desktop/laptop/server), an additional drive on your computer or with USB storage (thumb drive, hard drive etc). Rsync will update all changes with much less overhead than a complete recursive copy when updates are performed. This tutorial covers rsync use with Linux and MS/Windows. http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/Rsync.html One can also rsync to public storage like http://rsync.net/ or http://www.s3rsync.com/ as well.

I learned something new today too, apparently I was wrong about ls being equal to "list". Neat. Now, regarding ls being only two characters from the middle of the word, afaik that is purely historical, and comes from the early terminals where memory was a super-huge concern. That's why many of the basic commands dating from the early days of UNIX are so short - to conserve on typing and memory. As jimicus states later downthread, at this point changing it to something more sensible would cause more harm than good.

But in the end you're right, it's all what you've learned. To someone who has never used computers, they might expect "show files" to be a command, or something similar.

For anyone else following along, I found a handy DOS->bash chart here. For those reading wanting some bash-love, I highly recommend The Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide.

Is there a good bash-> DOS reference? I have a difficult time locating and killing hanging processes when the three-finger-salute fails to bring up the task manager. Then there's the finding which process has the open file handle when trying to eject a USB drive. Its all so simple in Linux.

No one seems to be mentioning the fact that vim is a basic software development IDE and can integrate with tools like cscope. See: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialAdvanced_vi.html

Strange post. Maybe I am missing something? For your first paragraph...

• Distributed transactions
• High performance message queues
• Filesystems
• SOAP

Of course there's much more out there.

Regardless, the bulk of this setup is clustered processing a shitload of data very fast, which is something that COM+ triggers on MSMQ is pretty damn good at. The automation event processing system I work on at the moment can handle a full gigabit eth pipe using MSMQ on my shitty $700 laptop at about 20% cpu, including processing, logging and updating appropriate stuff in a database and HMI app.

...and this is just a bunch of subjective MS fan boy ranting.

One would think that "The easiest way to do it" would be to install Winbind, LDAP or Kerberos and use those to authenticate against AD.

The advantage here is that you're dealing with free software, included and supported by default in most Linux-based operating systems, and in many cases integrated so tightly that you only need to run one command and tick a few check boxes to make it work.

What does this third party solution add to that besides the $250 per seat price tag?

130. Eric S. Raymond. Yes, Microsoft, the guy who's been harshing your mellow since I wrote The Cathedral and the Bazaar in 1997. Linux user since 1993, so I've been violating your nonexistent patents for fourteen years. Sue me first. Please, oh please! Because I don't think I've kicked your sorry asses enough yet, and I'd love another round with you chumps.

1458. Patrick Berry, Linux User #65,411, since 1997, I have been converting thousands of businesses, schools, charities, and users, to FOSS. Microsoft is a small pathetic multiple convicted felon pirate, whereas I am a voting retired disabled veteran, and I welcome the opportunity to expose more of Microsoft's greedy insanity! I am Patrick Berry, TSgt., USAF (Retired) technician, and I run ALL the FOSS at http://livecdlist.com/ http://distrowatch/ http://linux.org/ http://yolinux.com/ I am curious, do you also intend to sue your VP Hilf, who runs 200 Linux machines, in a lab, and Akamai, who run all your websites behind their 15,000 Linux servers? Don't worry, I will name them in my countersuit. Microsoft is the DOOMED multiple convicted felon pirate!

S-video out isn't OS controlled, if you have it plugged in to the tv at boot it will work. Period. Also, double monitors (i.e. one desktop over two screens) is simple too. If you have ATI, just use the command line aticonfig --dtop=horizontal --overlay-on=1
Or if you just installed the ATI drivers then run aticonfig --initial=dual-head

For more info, and NVIDIA instructions see http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxAndDualMonit ors.html/

And a good tutorial on how to configure that Linux dual headed system is at http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxAndDualMonit ors.html
It had one key point in that tutorial which took me forever to find was, set the screen aspect ration so openOffice and Acroread do not look stretched.

I felt the same as you do for several weeks and I also consider myself pretty well acquainted with linux. And, contrary to some of the testimonials I'm reading, KnoppMyth did not do it for me and my pcHDTV 3000 card.

Now I'm in pretty good shape with a simple, single broadcast tuner system. I'm not using MythGame, MythFlix, or MythPhone but I am using MythStream, have all the other modules working whether I'll use some of them or not, and have only one significant bug to squash (for which I _do_ have leads) before I would declare my setup perfect for open source.

If I could put my finger on one key to success, I would say documentation. I blew away the KnoppMyth and installed Fedora 4 because a guy who has used various versions of MythTV with various versions of Fedora has the best documentation I found on the net. But not _comprehensive_ documentation. All-in-all, I have an expandible two-ring cover binding about an inch of hints, tips and other documentation printed single- and double-sided. Whether that is encouraging or discouraging depends upon the reader I guess. It _can_ be done. Some key links from my bookmarks:

Enjoy,

So if it doesn't work out of the box it's broken?
Seems like all the Windows and Macintosh users want instant gratification with no work. And why not the admins are used to clicking on things and so are the users. No knowledge required.
Sure, computers should be easy to use and for the most part are. But my god maybe a little bit of reading wouldn't kill you.
http://yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialVideo.ht ml

I think that Linux could be easier if you take the control away and simply guide the user through preset options with no alternatives. Put the user in a complete moronic bliss that every user on Macintosh and Windows is accustomed to. And at the end of clicking on things you can say WoW! it works really really well.

It would be nice to see comparisons to RedHat/Sistina's GFS, Lustre (backed by HP), and others listed here.

Also how does this compare to clustered storage that is not run on the hosts themselves like NetApp new Spinnaker based clustering. You also have folks like Isilon, Panasas, and Terrascale.

Anybody have an good data on this?
-Ack

At my current employer they use Microsoft Unix services for MS/Windows on the active directory server. This allows the AD server to act as an NIS authentication server for Unix/Linux clients. IT works well.

Crossover worked great for running Outlook including connecting to the exchange server for email and calendaring. Ignore the BS link about Crossover and MS/Outlook not working with Exchange posted by sjvn. It's just not true. Using Crossover 3.0.1 only failed on some MS/Powerpoint pressentations which used Audio/Video. With Crossover version 5.0, I'm sure they have made improvements. The Ximian connector only works when the webdav interface on the MS/Exchange server is enabled. Large companies rarely do this. One may also use OWA (Outlook Web Access).

The only hassle I had was when my password changed and I needed to update files used for authenticating to Microsoft print servers and file servers.

I love Linux on the desktop!

Great stuff.

If you look at the "instructions" you gave for you setup, it is not any more involved then a typical Linux media setup, save for the extra $100 or so for WinXP home.

Well look at that. Here is a link to save others a stop at google. Also found a tutorial. Whats the chances this microtel thing comes with a non-winmodem though if any at all?

Even if you can convince her to get off of AOhelL, she'll still get billed for it for several months afterward. If she REALLY wants AOL, follow this tutorial.

That's a load of crap. There are a huge number of companies that provide both closed and open source products for Linux, with support (and that list is just the tip of the iceberg).

I have come to the conclusion that Apple does not release a Linux QT client because they view Linux as a threat that can be safely ignored with little public backlash. It is this Microsoftian-arrogance that pisses me off to no end about them. They have gotten so much free code and good will from the open source community and yet they still insist on making it that much more difficult for Linux users to be able to do something as basic as watch their "exclusive" movie trailers. Until Apple's attitude towards Linux users changes, I certainly won't be sending them any of my money.

Here is a tutorial on connecting to AOL using GNU/Linux.

The warez d00dz have been able to connect to AOL using a leaked native AOL for GNU/Linux client.

I have before, it's not too hard at all.

In fact there is a small tutorial on how to connect to AOL with Linux.

I wonder if this offer is valid with AOL Broadband, that way you could be on Broadband, and still have a cheap PC.

Yes, there is an AOL Client for Linux - though it's not an 'official' client.

Look at This Tutorial to see how to install the PengAOL Linux Dialer.

I have set this up on both SuSE and Mandrake systems from source for a couple of friends who wanted to try Linux, but who didn't want to drop AOL... It can be a bit tricky to get working, but it does work (in the UK at least).

Google is my friend.

Seriously, are you people just to lazy to type 3 frickin words into Google?

My guess is that sun lacks a mascot who stands for liberty, love and the pursuit of happiness all the while standing up for the little guy.

A mascot should enjoy being a super hero, fragging, and sports and should appeal to the geek, the freak, the n00b and those corporate types.

And no! Duke is not cool. Duke thinks that he is cool. But he only reaches cute. And cute is for sissies.

No prob. Zymano knows.

Here's a how-to to get RealVideo going on a linux box.

The free version is known as "RealSystem Server Basic" and supports up to 25 simultaneous users and is licensed for 12 months.

Have fun.

you mean like PengAOL

Yeah, it is not official. The official one is Gamera, but lots of luck finding it now.

Me neither, but I do remember only having things like WAIS and a bunch of comic strip characters!

Absolutely. But remember, Linux always requires some effort on your part. You can check out nice tut. sorta thing here -

Hope that helped.

"...Fear the people who fear your computer"

I believe XFS and JFS are both journaled in this way.

And based on what do you believe that? Here's an excerpt from an IBM document:

First, JFS only logs operations on meta-data, so replaying the log only restores the consistency of structural relationships and resource allocation states within the file system.

I can't find anything quite as authoritative for XFS, but there is this, from an SGI document:

The log section (or area, if it is internal to the data section) is used to store changes to filesystem metadata while the filesystem is running

If the log section contained data, one would certainly expect them to mention it. There's also this, from a copy of the Fileystems HOWTO:

File systems update their structural information (called metadata) by synchronous writes...A journaling file system uses a separate area called a log or journal. Before metadata changes are actually performed, they are logged to this separate area

Again, the reference is to metadata but not data. As a professional filesystems developer, I know that even the overhead of journaling metadata is a big problem for journaled filesystem implementors trying to provide performance competitive with non-journaled filesystems. Journaling the data as well would be absolutely horrendous, and I certainly think I would have heard if there had been some breakthrough allowing this to be done efficiently.

There are some filesystem technologies that do provide safety for data in addition to metadata. Log-structured filesystems can include this feature, though they're somewhat out of vogue right now. The only current effort I know of in this direction is the atomic update ("phase tree") methodology in Tux2.
