  1. Just in case you want a third one...... /etc/grub.conf /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/grub.conf Top 2 point to the bottom one, so if you want to remember one in Fedora, use the last one. And if you don't want to go into the file.... Keep in mind sed *-i* makes the change for you and saves the file so make sure what your doing! :o sed -i s/timeout=5/timeout=30/ /boot/grub/grub.conf
  2. I've used it in the past when it was called RR64 in the beginning, not a bad setup. Easy way to get a loaded Gentoo based distribution.
  3. *BUMP* Added FreeBSD Cheatsheet Good resources.
  4. I'll answer some of this, maybe not in order though.... :) /export/home: This is how most *nix's has done this since the very early days, main reason I can think of is for shareing(NFS). Swap mountpoints: Solaris put's /tmp & /var/run in swap for peformance reasons and data in these directory's are useless upon next reboot :) /etc/svc/volatile is needed early in the boot process before /var is mounted and will be logs and reference files relating to the current state of the system services. Again something not needed upon next reboot :) bootup, login and responsiveness: That really puzzles me because mine comes up in less than 30 seconds and everything is much snappier than the other OS's... :) Do this for me, run sudo intrstat Let it run for a bit and then ^C out of it and paste the output They systems I use it on are faster, than your sempron, but I don't think they are that much faster. One of mine has a bug on the motherboard and I helped one of the engineers troubleshoot to get a patch, I don't think it is put in yet. (I was the lab rat, he was the brains...) ;) memor/top/prstat: usage prstat -a -s size I don't see anything that is unusual, if you paid for the RAM, might as well use it... OOo is your biggest offender, pretty sure that is normal know matter what OS you use http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/performance One of the *cool* community's in Open_Solaris B) Now thats cool, and the developers/enginners are pretty cool about working with you. Good review though, someone switching to Solaris is even harder than Nexenta.
  5. Forgot to share this, which Is from OpenSolaris, but I assume might be default someday in Nexenta too..... Secure By Default SBD part 1 SBD part 2 SBD part3 *EDIT: Its actually in Nexenta, sort of, starts shutting services down then breaks.....I'll open a bug. sudo netservices limited restarting syslogd restarting sendmail svcprop: Pattern 'svc:/application/management/wbem:default' doesn't match any entities justin@nexenta:~$ sudo nmap -v -P0 -sT localhost 22/tcp open ssh 111/tcp open rpcbind 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp open microsoft-ds 631/tcp open ipp SSH should be the only open service...
  6. KDE is there if you are more familliar with that: I found "kubuntu" packages, but not sure if you want that or simply kdebase kdebase - base components from the official KDE release Guess you can test it out and see what happens :) root@nexenta:~# apt-cache search kubuntu kubuntu-live - Kubuntu live system kubuntu-desktop - Kubuntu desktop system kubuntu-artwork-usplash - kubuntu artwork for usplash language-selector-qt - Language selector for kubuntu linux kubuntu-grub-splashimages - grub splashimages for Kubuntu kubuntu-default-settings - Default settings and artwork for the Kubuntu desktop kubuntu-konqueror-shortcuts - Konqueror shortcuts for the Ubuntu wiki and bugzilla kubuntu-artwork-kbfx - kubuntu artwork for KBFX kubuntu-docs - kubuntu documentation
  7. Bump ----- Some helpful links for people who might try NexentaOS or Solaris 10 or Nevada (11)
  8. wow, when opening the services settings... so many services are running.. I really have to read more about its docu... . . ok, not only am lost because its gnome... but because its not linux.. its solaris :huh: Yep, the last couple of releases of Solaris (Nevada = beta) are moving to Secure by default and getting rid of all the open ports. Do this for what you want off: justin@nexenta:~$ sudo nmap -v -P0 -sT localhost Password: <SNIP> PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 23/tcp open telnet 25/tcp open smtp 111/tcp open rpcbind 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp open microsoft-ds 587/tcp open submission 631/tcp open ipp 4045/tcp open lockd Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 45.111 seconds Say you want telnet off (YES!) root@nexenta:~# vi /etc/inet/services [b]#telnet 23/tcp[/b] Restart inetd (kill -1 is like -HUP) root@nexenta:~# ps -ef | grep inetd root 260 1 0 Jul 25 ? 0:01 /usr/lib/inet/inetd start root 2290 2259 0 09:57:05 pts/1 0:00 grep inetd root@nexenta:~# kill -1 260 root@nexenta:~# ps -ef | grep inetd root 260 1 1 Jul 25 ? 0:01 /usr/lib/inet/inetd start root 2317 2259 0 09:57:28 pts/1 0:00 grep inetd nmap scan again: root@nexenta:~# nmap -v -P0 -sT localhost <SNIP> PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 111/tcp open rpcbind 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp open microsoft-ds 587/tcp open submission 631/tcp open ipp 4045/tcp open lockd Done. This link might have some helpful links and stuff https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=28975
  9. Pretty much the same, System 5 type stuff, same dir structure (for the most part) and commands and stuff. Some things will be different, kind of like going from one distro to the next. LiveCD's are never good for performance comparison of how something will run imo :) Just install it and see how it does :P
  10. I should have mentioned that zones have been avaialble and I have used them and they work, cheers Dev's :) http://www.gnusolaris.org/gswiki/ErastBenson/Nexenta_Zones Package count: APT repository: 12007 ... in addition one could run any native Solaris binaries and applications just fine! That might sound like much to most, but if you run Solaris regulary like I do than its very awesome!!! I don't put much stock in distrowatch counter, however this is pretty cool http://uadmin.blogspot.com/2006/07/nexenta...lar-distro.html little review: http://hip2b2.yutivo.org/2006/07/10/nexent...ubuntu-userland Somebody here should install this and review it from a new users percpective that has never touched Solaris or not much anyway.....artic.... ;) ;) Oh, ipy mentioned docs which is true, not a lot there, however you can always look here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/ Communitys and Projects or look at ubuntu/debian docs Kind of depends on what kind of docs you need I guess. Also, I would run *unstable* to get the latest greatest and goodies, you are running an Alpha so why not eh?
  11. Yeah, I know its supposed to be "a new way" and all but it still kind of sucked. I've used umpteen different linux package systems. All the *BSD's, Solaris, Aix and HP-UX and still just sucks for me :)
  12. I played with Foresight about 2-3 versions ago and thought the package manager kinda sucked :P However, I imagine that was fairly early on so it might be better now.
  13. Yep, if you have problems with it, just let me know. If it takes me awhile to reply, I'm getting killed at work right now.
  14. Well, you don't need to for development and extras-development If your talking third party like fresh/dries repositorys then instead of $releasever you would use 5, however keep in mind now that some apps lib's wont be in sink with what is on rawhide, so you will do some manual stuff ;) like pull down the 3rd party repo's SRC.rpm's and rpmbuild --rebuild them most of the time will fix that situation. It is manual, but you are running a beta OS :) I do it all the time though.
  15. $ sudo yum grouplist | grep -i kde Password: KDE Software Development KDE (K Desktop Environment) To install: # yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)" "KDE Software Development"
  16. By the way, you can run yum -C to skip checking repodata if you just want to install something and not look for updates. speeds yum up a lot. Oh, this is nothing like MCC/YAST, but it also doesn't break files ;) # yum install system-config-control Then just run "system-config-control"
  17. By then FC6 will be out with GNome 2.16 :) As far as kernels, fedora folks are very much security consious, so a lot of times it could simply be a security fix, or they try hard to fix bugs in hardware. Also, 2.6.17 is in update-testing :) Fedora Core 5 Test Update: kernel-2.6.17-1.2138_FC5 Also, smart is pretty cool if you haven't tried it out. http://www.justinconover.com/blog/?p=14 Yum in rawhide/fc6 seems better too :) Oh yeah, I think fc6 test1 is out...
  18. Looks nice, I"m looking forward to seeing these in Fedora. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/BluecurveAndBeyond
  19. Yep, thats why I do like smart package manager, has many many features, down side of something I noticed latly after someone asked if it used much memory, it KILLS your memory! Like you said though, still is limited as compared to what rpm can do.
  20. Thats actually cause you have the terminolgy mixed up. :P yum/urpmi are frontends to rpm apt-get/apptitude are frontednds to dpkg so on and so on . You could try something like this: $ mkdir test && cd test $ rpm -qa > rpmlist.txt $ sed -i s/-[0-9].*/*.rpm/ rpmlist.txt $ sed s/-[0-9].*/*.rpm/ rpmlist.txt > install_list.txt # cat install_list.txt | for X in *.rpm; do rpm -Uvh --aid $X; done In this example, I dropped in my fc5 dvd, went to the dir holding the rpms and then executed the command # pwd /media/disk/Fedora/RPMS # cat /home/justin/test/install_list.txt | for X in *.rpm; do rpm -Uvh --aid $X; done error: Failed dependencies: libc.so.6()(64bit) is needed by a2ps-4.13b-49.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by a2ps-4.13b-49.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) is needed by a2ps-4.13b-49.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit) is needed by a2ps-4.13b-49.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit) is needed by a2ps-4.13b-49.x86_64 libm.so.6()(64bit) is needed by a2ps-4.13b-49.x86_64 libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by a2ps-4.13b-49.x86_64 error: Failed dependencies: libacl.so.1()(64bit) is needed by acl-2.2.34-1.2.x86_64 libacl.so.1(ACL_1.0)(64bit) is needed by acl-2.2.34-1.2.x86_64 libattr.so.1()(64bit) is needed by acl-2.2.34-1.2.x86_64 libc.so.6()(64bit) is needed by acl-2.2.34-1.2.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by acl-2.2.34-1.2.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) is needed by acl-2.2.34-1.2.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.3)(64bit) is needed by acl-2.2.34-1.2.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit) is needed by acl-2.2.34-1.2.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit) is needed by acl-2.2.34-1.2.x86_64 error: Failed dependencies: libc.so.6()(64bit) is needed by acpid-1.0.4-2.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by acpid-1.0.4-2.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) is needed by acpid-1.0.4-2.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit) is needed by acpid-1.0.4-2.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit) is needed by acpid-1.0.4-2.x86_64 Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:adaptx ########################################### [100%] Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:adaptx-doc ########################################### [100%] As you can see, it started to want to do it, however, ctrl+C out of it really quick because that was my x86_64 dvd and I'm on a i386 laptop so I figure I shouldn't let it keep going 8) How does that commercial go, "Ah the power of UNIX"
