I have been searching as well and haven't found one. Your best options are either here or linuxnewbie.org.

If you find a site, let us know.

Most people use emacs for C developement. It takes a little getting use to, but it is a great text editor/IDE. Other then that, you can basically use any text editor you want. Vi/Vim also works well with C code.

I have never used the CodeWarrior IDE, but you can give that a try. However, if you are planning on going into computer science, then I would strongly urge you to learn Emacs and/or Vi. This is what is used out there, and it will give you an advantage over other people. Plus, once you know these two programs you can sit down at any *nix machine and do what needs to be done GUI/X server/Desktop or not.

Strange thing the DMCA in the US. I am glad I am not a citizen.

I think they were just trying to get a point across and I think they definitely made it.

Beyond my expertise, hopefully someone else can help you out.

Plus, if you could get it to work properly, where would you send them - to someone elses IP? This not only makes the scan probe harder, but it makes you just as bad as the hackers because you are now, in effect, scanning someone else's computer. Or at the least, opening someone else's computer to be scanned and hacked.

A properly configured firewall and a secure system is the way to go. If nothing exists for the hackers, they will leave and go away. And your system will be safe.

One of the big bonuses with Mozilla Mail is that it handles html mail beautifully. It is after all Mozilla.

and has this nice little feature called "bounce" that let's you send back any mail you don't want as undeliverable. Comes in handy sometimes.

Sounds like a very cool feature. Something that should be included into every mail client.

Are there any, or do any of these, clients connect to the Kazaa network? That is what I have been using on windows and would like to find a client for Linux.

First question: do you have Apache/PHP/MySQL setup on your computer and working properly?

If you don't then that is the first thing that needs to be done.

There really isn't anything different with Apache for an intranet, extranet, or internet. The only real difference is the way that the site is accessed. In httpd.conf you will need to supply an IP address that is accessable on your network.

Here is the line that needs to be changed:

ServerName localhost

You need to change this to something like

ServerName 192.168.1.10

The IP address is the address belonging to the network card in the computer on which apache is installed. Once this is done then it will work for an intranet.

If you do not have Apache/PHP/MySQL up and running then go to www.apachetoolbox.com and download their install script and use it. This is the easiest way I have ever found to install apache et al.

Dumb question, but what do the 1 0 0 mean at the end of each line? I mostly understand the rest of the line except for the last few digits.

Have you tried Sylpheed-claws? I did about 3 months ago at it was too buggy, but then again it was dep-hell just to get it. I wonder what the newer releases are like for 9.0?

Sylpheed-claws is the bleeding edge version of Sylpheed. If you like putting beta software on your computer then this is the one for you. Otherwise, stick with the regular, and stable, Sylpheed release.

If you need to print a pdf file then why not download Adobe Acrobat Reader and use that to print it. That is what is was designed for. Acrobat Reader is also available for linux.

My suggestion would be to use Mozilla 1.1 (or whatever shipped with Mandrake 9.0) for both web browsing and mail. I use it on both windows and Linux and have never had a problem with it.

Not quite sure what you are looking for here.

Are you looking for a single CMS that will allow you to update content for multiple websites? And you want that CMS to be php based?

I have never heard of a solution that is php based. For what you may be looking for you may want to try something like Zope. It is a full featured CMS solution that allows you to manage multiple websites.

Specify exactly what you are looking for and maybe I can recommend something.

As long as he downloaded the proper ISOs and they are not corrupted and he is using a fairly recent burning program, then the cd's should be bootable. You do not need to do anything in order to make them bootable.

However, if he unpacked the ISOs and then burned the unpacked version, then the CDs will not be bootable.

How did he burn the CDs and what kind of hardware is he running. These two questions need to be answered before we can help him.

Insert the Mandrake CD and follow the directions for creating the boot floppy.

 

he said he had redhat 7.2...

 

My suggestion would be to get your hands on mandrake 9.0...it'll be a lot easier to work with. especially here. we are all mandrake users and if you have problems with mandrake, it will be much easier to get help.

Oops, guess I didn't read the post carefully enough. I agree, download Mandrake 9.0 adn try to install that. However, the points that I made are still valid. Check the bios and make sure that everything is set up to boot from cd. Otherwise, if it is not, then you will have the same problems with mandrake as you are having with red hat.

If you want to stick with red hat then why not at least download the latest version - 8.0. This could solve a lot of your problems.

I believe that you can play Wolfenstein on Linux without using wine/wineX. And I doubt you will ever see a M$ game running in Linux so that rules out Dungeon Siege. I am not sure about the rest though.

What kind of computer are you trying to install onto and does it allowing booting from a CD-ROM? These are the first two questions that need to be answered.

Check your BIOS to make sure that it is set up correctly to boot from the cd-rom drive.

If all else fails, then you will have to make a boot floppy and boot from that in order to do an install. A boot floppy can be made form within windows. Insert the Mandrake CD and follow the directions for creating the boot floppy.

It will be interesting to see if that actually happens. Only question is: when will the new stable kernel be released. I have been hearing rumours that it might be soon - like in the next 6 months or so. Apparently they are doing some kind of freeze on it as of Oct 31.

Although, I could be entirely wrong about this, it is just something that I read somewhere.

That's cool. Hopefully someday we see a final product. They didn't happen to give a timeline did they?

Yea, I read the article. Good for him. And, it's not a bad article about someones journey into Linux. It is a bit long though.

I couldn't make my way through all the comments though. After reading the first bunch complaining about how long the article was, I just gave up. Does he have any intelligent people posting comments on his site?

Hmmm... And I downloaded the ISOs this morning. Hope not too much has changed.

I heard a rumour a while ago that Nero was going to be ported to Linux. Has anyone else heard this and is it true? It would be amazing if we could get Nero for Linux.
