With the eventual release of Windows Vista and its rumored new 3D
graphical desktop capabilities putting it beyond what is presently
available for Macintoshes and GNU/Linux, I was left wondering whether
any such thing was planned for Linux and when such capabilities would
be released.
I find myself retelling how to manually install the NVIDIA 3D drivers an awful lot. Here's a short tutorial that should work on any distro, but is tailored in spots for SuSE...
Classic Shell Scripting, in its own words, bridges the gap
between Learning Unix (see: UNIX 101) and Unix in a
Nutshell (throw a manual page at the reader; he'll be fine).
Blag Linux and Gnu (BLAG) is a Fedora Core 3 based distribution of the Linux kernel and Gnu utilities which runs on the x86 processor. BLAG aims to provide a totally free (as in speech) operating system, and it is one of only 5 distributions which are free by the standard of GNU. With this information in hand I thought I'd give it a spin.
Being the first book I've ever read printed by Novell (technically, the book was published by Pearson, but it was put together as a Novell Press book), Linux Kernel Development left me with a good impression of the publisher.
In GNU/Linux, file access is restricted. Users don't necessarily have the same rights when it comes to deleting, executing or even reading files. In fact, every file contain data such as its owner, its permissions and other information which defines exactly what can be done with it, and by whom.
A common problem faced by new users ( and sometimes even experienced users ) is not knowing what to do when they lose their password. Even worse, when they lose the password for 'root'. Luckily, there are several solutions to help you recover access to your system.
This article describes some applications that support regular expressions and some simple ways of usage. A few interesting extensions for different types of applications are mentioned. Just thinking about them can give a good approximation where one might find them and possibly use them.
Considering the substantial increase in linux desktops, it seems likely that more and more of these users will need to integrate into Windows based networks. I have provided a breif howto on Printer and File Sharing with Samba.
This is the rest of the letter that Dr. UN*X is sending to Adrian about his question onto how can people connect to his system using the two DSL lines connected to it, read on to see the rest of the letter.
Dr. UN*X gets an email from Adrian saying that he recently added a second DSL line and he wants remote sites to be able to connect to his system using either DSL lines. Read on and see Dr. UN*X's answer to Adrian.
This is a brief tutorial on how to get wireless LAN cards working on Linux. Although the instructions were written for Suse 9.3, they should work on all distributions.
In this article a simple usage of regular expressions is described. Its intention is to bring users to try the most powerful search and replace paradigm available and hopefully start using it.
The diff and patch utilites can be intimidating to the newcomer, but they are not all that difficult to use, even for the non-programmer. If you are at all familiar with makefiles, you might find yourself frequently wanting to patch a file, either to correct an error that you've found or to add something that you need to the makefile.
Despite the plethora of email clients available nowadays, the text based
mutt is still the choice of many gurus. It follows the Unix philosophy
of doing one thing well rather than trying to do many things.
Sometimes, you discover a particular program by chance. You have a
problem, post on a mailing list or forum and someone suggests using
program foo or program bar. Perhaps it's something that someone else is
advised to use, you read about it on your favorite mailing list
and think, "Gee, that sounds interesting. Let me try it."
This article deals with the philosophy of the program development and the interesting observation, that user forums are full of feature requests. Some of these requests don't fall into the program functions as the developers see it and thus, the battle between them arises.
For desktop users, monitoring resource usage is an important task. By doing this, we can locate system bottleneck, planning what to do to optimize our system, identifying memory leak and so on. The problem is, which software one should use and how to use it according to our need.
Procfs is a pseudo-filesystem (like sysfs and several others), which means that files in /proc do not exist in your hard drive, but the information they have is calculated on demand.
