Fedora Core How do I reconfigure networking? Our ISP is changing our static IP, so I have to enter new addresses and a new gateway? This is a server install so I don't have the GUI tool I'm used to.

GNOME on Fedora 10 How do I make a virtual desktop? I'm running 1024x600 and can't use a lot of the menus. Scrolling around at 1280x1024 would be great. It appears they took the xorg.conf out.

Fortuitous Bumble posted:Is there some difference between the linux/unix traceroute and the Microsoft one? For some reason my apartment's internet connection seems to run through the local university which makes it impossible to use tracert for anything on Windows (it blocks it or something), but it works fine on my linux system. Just thought that was weird. Is Windows Firewall on?

sicarius posted:I have a dual boot Ubuntu/Win7 system. This is all well and good and everything is going smoothly, but the default OS is Ubuntu and I'd rather it be Win7. Any way I can change this? sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst Change the line that says 'default 0' to 'default (whatever the number windows is on the list at the end of that file)' There's actually a description of what all the options in that file do if you want to play around with other things like the time before it boots the default OS.

Interlude posted:If I want to go with a software RAID-5 (this is just a file server so I'm not worried about CPU time) what would you recommend with this setup? Why? Just mirror the drives or backup to a USB drive. The whole point of RAID5 is so you never have to take the server down when you lose a drive, and you're not going to be hot-swapping in your home-built computer, so there's no point. You'll just be in hell when something goes wrong.

What is recommended these days for a proxy server? Right now we're running Microsoft ISA on our SBS 2003 Server (I'll wait for you to stop laughing) Our ERP is web-based and hosted elsewhere. My two goals are making pages loaded faster for the end-users (some pages are image heavy), allowing access to only our ERP provider and not ESPN or YouTube, and of course saving bandwith. Previously I would just install RedHat and Squid, but I'm sure things have changed in the last 7 years. CentOS? Fedora? Ubuntu? Squid or is there something else that's better now?

GregNorc posted:I guess so... I mean it's kind of cryptic. The options are "Use entire drive", "replace existing linux system", "shrink current system", "use free space", "create custom layout". If you don't care about the data on the drive, or if it's blank, choose 'use entire drive' If you still get the error make a 512mb swap and use the rest for a giant ext partition. You might want to try a different distribution.

GregNorc posted:Can't use a different distro due to some random software I have that needs fedora. That shouldn't affect anything, since it's at the partition level where you read disk sizes. I used to be scared of ruining my solid-state memory devices, and then I realized by the time I ruined them, I could buy cheaper, larger, and faster ones. Can you get away with an older version of Fedora? Perhaps start with a erver install? What's the software? You should be able to tweak it enough to get it working with Ubuntu/CentOS/whatever.

Crush posted:What's the best way to allow ONLY a certain range of host masks access to a box running linux (actually a NAS) so that there is never even a prompt for username/password for anything (SSH, FTP, SFTP, Web (browser) Management, etc.) unless a computer within a certain host mask is trying to access it? Can you edit the hosts allow/deny in the smb.conf? also, which firewall is it using? for example, in iptables you can do something like: # iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 80 -i ppp0 -j ACCEPT to allow web traffic from 192.168.x.x

I recently installed Ubuntu 8.04 in a VM (ESXi), and I'm having weird issues with network. It quits responding to pings/ssh requests, and then in 10-20 minutes it starts responding again. Even when it's down, I can ping my desktop (XP) from that server. But not the other way around. I can even access other sites on the internet with it. I have squid server using basically the same 8.04 install on the same VM server, and it runs without any problems. I can also ping a machine that is one IP address away from the Ubuntu server (video camera) Is there any kind of weird firewall in Linux that could be interfering? I'm on a cable modem, and the other machine is on a T1. Other hosts seem to ping each other fine.

Shaocaholica posted:Whats the fastest and most responsive distro I can use on my P166 MMX 128MB? Doesn't need to be live. HDD space is not limited (250GB, don't ask). I just want to browse the web and playback mp3s while not chugging along the way. I used to use a K6-2 300MHz with Slackware, basically for surfing the web and watching porn (AVI/WMV/MPG). It wasn't that bad. Then again this was 5 years ago and JavaScript/Flash weren't used like they are today. Use blackbox (maybe fluxbox) as your window manager. I think I was using Mozilla, I'm not sure how well FF 2 or 3 will run on a 166MHz machine. Be warned that decoding an MP3 alone is going to eat up almost half of the CPU.

Here's a question, more related to webhosting I guess. If you have 50 websites hosted on your server, and 25 of them use the same script (say for a blog or image gallery), do you have to install that script 25 times in each users web directory? It seems wasteful, so I just wonder if that's the way that it's done.

kcncuda71 posted:if you really want to learn the internals of linux, i'd suggest arch. Their beginner's guide is quite good, and you can setup the system for any gui you like. I've been using arch for about a year, and i think i've learned more about linux in that year than when i used ubuntu or debian. Slackware works perfectly for this too. I'd suggest trying a couple different distros. Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, drat Small Linux, and even give FreeBSD a shot. It's not Linux but it's worth playing with. Depending on your hardware, wireless can still be a pain. You might want to start with Ubuntu/Mint so that most stuff will work out of the box.

nmg posted:Question: With Windows, I can open a big download and browse the web (wow! broadband!). With Linux, if I start a big download, web browsing grinds to a halt, like it's not "freeing up" any bandwidth for anything else. I know jack and poo poo about Linux networking and I don't really want to get into crazy ipfilters and all that jazz. I've just been using wget --limit-rate but that obviously doesn't help for things like streaming. You shouldn't have any problem. What browser are you using?

Monday-ish, I installed a Redhat 7.2 VM and stuck it on the internet, it's been scanned a few times and some login ssh attempts, but nothing too much yet. I have a ton of services on it. Straight off the retail CD's and no security updates installed. Being that it's from 2001, is it possible that nobody tries exploiting something that old?

A Violence Gang posted:Just for my education what is it that makes telnet a "comedy option"? It's not secure, as in your user name and password (and everything else you send/receive) go over the Internet in plain view. No encryption. So that's why we have SSH. If it's enabled, you could just ssh to his ip address and have a console session. But you might have to work some port forwarding with his router, etc.

Perhaps there is some sort of anti-virus on the mail server that is altering the attachment.
