Hi, I am on Fedora Core 5 32+ bit. I wonder if there is any command that can tell you when Linux was installed & updated on the computer with time and date. Or any other software/application like MySQL or PHP was installed and updated? Is there any kind of log available that I can access? Thanks........

IT students not want to be programmers then what?
tech291083 replied to tech291083's topic in Everything Linux
Fully agreed............... Very interesting thoughts sir. People like you should also be listened to after all you have seen the programming evolution since the 70s itself. Let us hope that a good and patient programmer gets his due respect some day. Very right sir. After all we do not see doctors retire in the middle of the night if a younger fellow comes and joins his team. You have given a very good and clear message to all of us here. -
Hi, I have been hearing a lot from an IT student friend of mine about the increasing hatred towards programming of any kind taught at the university and efforts to look for something else in the IT field itself as a career option. Can any one who is experienced enough tell me as why this is a shocking reality? Why universities are failing to encourage students to become professional programmers? If an IT student is not interested in being a programmer what else are the options? What is the most preferred option of all in terms of what you have seen in your professional career? Thanks.

Hi, Thanks a lot I have downloaded the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal)for Linux from here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/htdocs/102xelinsoft.html The official Oracle installation guide for the version of the database is also available on the same site which is http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm I am going through the installation now and if any thing goes wrong will only be happy to post again.

Hi, I am using Fedora Core 5 32+ bit as my OS. I want to have a good list of different types (image editing, security, text editors etc.) of free/open source softwares for Linux OS, that I can just download, install and use without much fuss. I searched and came across these 2 sites, but are there any more standard ones that I can just visit and make sure that the applications listed there are stable releases and reliable in every sense. Here are the 2 sites in question: 1.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ftware_packages 2.http://www.linux.org/apps/ I am learning Linux as of now and want to try a few open source/free apps. Thanks. [moved from Software by spinynorman]

Hi, I was wondering whether PHP being a server side and kind of scripting languages, can be or being used for application/software development just like any other regular programming languages such as c/c++ or java. As far as I understand it is meant for web use only and thus can only be interpreted and used with a web browser. Is it possible to create programs/application with PHP that just can work as any other desktop programs and can be installed as well without involving the browser at all? I am not much aware of PHP's real capabilities so hopefully some senior PHP programmers can help me here. Thanks.

Hi, I am using Fedora Core 5 32+bit as my os but not using a particular development tool as of now and just sticking to the normal text editor called the KWrite. I am learning C++ and MySQL on my own and want to know if the connection between the two is possible. People say it is and one of my previous question on this very forum also gave me the hint that and I am on the right track by going for the installation of a C++ wrapper called MySQL++ from here. http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/ After downloading the file mysql++-2.2.0.tar.gz (2.6 MB, 2007.01.23) and also untaring/unzipping it on the desktop, a folder called mysql++-2.2.0 was created on the desktop. I went into the folder and read all the readme/install files, but I am no where near a successful installation due to my lack of proper guide to the installation of the same. Can you please help. I have been working on this for quite a while now. Just a few pieces of step by step instruction and the rest will be fine. Thanks. [moved from Terminal Shell Commands, etc by spinynorman]

Hi, I am using Fedora core 5 32 bit Linux. I am using the Kdevelop IDE/interface to run my first C++ program. Being new to the IDE, all I do first, is click on the Project menu and then select New Project. Then click on the All Projects tab. This shows two options C and C++. So I select C++ and it expands giving more options underneath it such as CMake Based Project, Embedded, GTK, KDE, Kdevelop, QMake Project, wxWidgets. I select the QMake Project option and it expands giving some more options underneath such as Simple ClanLib Application, Simple Hello World Program, Simple ncurses Hello World Program etc. I chose "Simple Hello World Program". Then I give an application name like "first" and location of the file. As soon as I do this, a new program called main.cpp is automatically written by Kdevelop and when I try to execute it, a dialog box cames with a message saying "There is no Makefile in this directory and no configure script for this project. Run automake and friends and configure first?" I click on "Run them" and a new windows opens with an output of the main.cpp file with the following message: Hello World. Press enter to continue... I do so and close down the Kdevelop ide. Then I restart the IDE and click on File menu and chose New and creat a new file with a name "two" and added the following code into it. #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() // Most important part of the program! { int age; // Need a variable... cout<<"Please input your age: "; // Asks for age cin>> age; // The input is put in age cin.ignore(); // Throw away enter if ( age < 100 ) { // If the age is less than 100 cout<<"You are pretty young!\n"; // Just to show you it works... } else if ( age == 100 ) { // I use else just to show an example cout<<"You are old\n"; // Just to show you it works... } else { cout<<"You are really old\n"; // Executed if no other statement is } cin.get(); } Save it and click on "Execute program" button, the gearlike symbol, but to my surprise it does not give me the output it should have instead gives me the output of the previous main.cpp file as follows: Hello World. Press enter to continue... Now can any one please tell me what to do? How can I make new files in this same project and execute them properly. This is driving me nuts, can't understand what is going wrong here. Thanks.

Hi, first of all, i m sorry that i have already posted one similar thread which i can't seem to be able to delete. can any one please tell me as how to delete a thread if its irrelevant. i have two pcs both having fedora core 5 linux. both are single boot systems ie only linux on them no windows. none of them is gonna be connected to the internet. so this is just a small home network. only the 2 pcs talking to each other only. no more pcs are gonna be added to this network as well. i have one crossover cable to connect these 2 pcs. don't have a router/switch. i want to share files between them. how do i do so? need to use nfs? struggling to get hold of any decent tutorials/step by step guides- on the net particularly with regard to fedora 5. please guide me. thanks.

Linux to Linux Networking but help needed
tech291083 replied to tech291083's topic in Other Linux and Unix Distributions
hi guys, thanks a lot for the replies. i have now figured out as what exactly i want to achieve. all i am going to do is setting up an intranet like situation at home with none of the pc (server or client) actually ever to be connected to the internet but to each other only. 1. i am gonna use two pcs with fedora 5 on both of them. no windows on any of them. both single boot. 2. i want one of them to be the server (pc 1) and other the client (pc 2). 3. none of them is gonna be connected to the internet so this is just a small home network. only the 2 pcs talking to each other only. 4. the server should behave like the one we often find in big companies these days. it should hold the log in details of each user that uses the other pc (client/pc 2). the server is for server/network administrator only and nobody else is gonna use it. the client is for users only. whenever a user using the client pc starts the machine he should be prompted to enter username and password. 5. i will design webpages in php-mysql and store them on server only and these web pages should be served to the client when he types the address of the pages in fireforx browser. just like any body accessing bbc or yahoo sites. this is sort of intranet set up. if a webpage allows users to a file for example their cv from the client machine, they should be able to do so. 6. users using the client machine irrespective of whatever they save or modify as their personal file/work should be saved on the server only. just like a student or employee making a file then saving it on uni/company server space only rather the machine's hard drive. 7. i want users on the client machine to be able to check their e-mails. like on windows machines people can send e-mail to each other within the company using outlook express. i do not know which software is used on linux pcs to do so. please let me know. 8. when i am installing fedora 5 on server (pc 1) and client (pc 2) i should be giving them static ip addresses as read some where. is this right? what should be the ip addresses then? 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 respectively? or something else? i think in order to achieve the whole thing, i must use http, apache, ftp, ldap, nis etc. but do not know which one for what purpose in specific. i have mentioned as what i want above. please guide me to achieve this. i am sorry i m very new to linux and need a lot of help. please help me. i will do my best. thanks. -
Hi, i have two pcs both running Fedora 5 only, no other os on them. 1. can i make a network of these 2 in order to learn the linux side of networking? i want one of them to be the server and other the client. is this possible? if yes, then what do i need to do? use samba, scp, nfs, sshfs? 2. i want the server and client to share files, folders, printer, mail all that is possible. but i do not know what else is possible. can you please tell me as what i can do more or what the possibilities are? 3. i want the server to be able to take a complete control of the client ie trun it on, shut down etc. is it possible? if yes, then what i need to do. i have been looking around the net to find a guide to setting up samba for newbies like me on Fedora 5 but can't seem to be able to find any thing at all with reference to Fedora 5. most of the material is about connecting windows and linux using samba which is not the case for me. mine is both fedroa 5 pcs as said earlier. can any one please give me a simple step by step guides/urls that i can try to follow on my own. since i want to connect only 2 pcs, i hope it should be not that difficult even for an idiot like me. to be honest, i am completely new to linux and trying my best to learn as much as on my own, so please guide me and thanks a lot for your time. i really appreciate it.
