After two months of development, Linux 2.6.20 has been released. This release includes two different virtualization implementations: KVM: full-virtualization capabilities using Intel/AMD virtualization extensions and a paravirtualization implementation usable by different hypervisors. Aditionally, 2.6.20 includes PS3 support, a fault injection debugging feature, UDP-lite support, better per-process IO accounting, relative atime, relocatable x86 kernel, some x86 microoptimizations, lockless radix-tree readside, shared pagetables for hugetbl, and many other things. Read the list of changes for details.

 

cheers

How embarrassing. Eight years ago, I had sysadmin powers at my university and knew my way around unix backward and forward. Now I've installed Fedora Core 6 and I'm still relying on the GUI to take care of most of my business. [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_dry.png[/img]

 

At present, I'm trying to install Firefox 2.0.0.1. I un-tarred the compressed file and put it into a directory, /home/jennifer/firefox. That should be enough, right? Well, I execute "./firefox &" in the console window while in that directory, and ... Firefox 1.5.0.9 invariably runs. All I can guess is that in spite of explicitly stipulating that I wanted to run the version of firefox in /home/jennifer/firefox, it's defaulting to a system-wide link that refers to the old version.

 

How do I overwrite Firefox 1.5.0.9, obliterating it so that only Firefox 2 is left?

 

Thank you so much for helping out this noob.

I'm just wondering which characters are usable to build a strong root/user password for my suse box, besides the obvious [a-Z0-9] I know I can use $... which one else can I use?

Fedora 7 Test 1 has been released today. For this particular release, we only did a Desktop spin of the package collection. We are still fine tuning targetted spins of the collection as part of the merger of Core and Extras. We also produced a LiveCD that has the ability to install to your harddrive, should you wish.

Quote:Fedora 7 

Fedora 7 will be the next release of Fedora. It is highlighted by the elimination of the distinction between Fedora Core and Fedora Extras entirely; there is only Fedora.

Hey peepz!

Why am I having a hard time on getting wireless to work, when I am trying out different distro's?

The only distro I got it to work on so far is FC6.

 

I tried Ubuntu...no luck.

Tried Mepis.....same story

Tried some live distros....(KANOTIX & KNOPPIX) NADA!!!

 

What am I doing wrong here?

Ok, so I downloaded firefox2.0 and now I can't install it. I'm a total n00b to the entire linux world so bear with me here. I was able to download and install the flash and java plugins for firefox 1.5 due to detailed installation instructions, but all I get from the firefox site with regards to installing 2.0 is:

Please note that installing Firefox 2 will overwrite your existing installation of Firefox. You won't lose any of your bookmarks or browsing history, but some of your extensions and other add-ons might not work until updates for them are made available.

Hey peepz!

 

I just got this old Celeron 433Mhzmachine which has 64 mb of ram.

I was wondering if it would be possible to get a Linux on there with a desktop enviroment (GNOME, XFCE, KDE, whatever!)

I also want to to stream image+sound from a TV-Card over LAN.

I heard I can use VLC Media player for that.

 

What Linux Distro should I use on this old machine, which will run quite smooth and stable?
