Hi,

 

Just to inform people Fedora Core 5 test1 has been released.

 

Day Month Event

14 Nov test1 devel freeze

21 Nov test1 release

Hello

For now, i am Linux Man

I am the admin of HostIO.biz(Hebrow)

I am one of SSH4U admin(Almost up)

 

All you need to know about me is i am a PHP/MySQL and HTML programer,

Using linux server with SSH

I am from Israel( )

 

I got MANY English mistakes, so try to understand me

 

TNX

Linux Man(for now at least)

Ok so it has been a while since I wrote a how-to for this site so here goes. This seems to be one of the more sought after confgiurations for network monitoring. You will need apache (httpd), mrt, and net-snmp-utils installed. since most noobs use RPM installations I am sure you can figure ou how to use the add remove programs or rpm -ivh <rpm>.

 

 

Below is the example of me adding my internet ip of my firewall to mrtg. First you need to make sure you can get snmp data from the device you wish to monitor.

Most keyboard shortcuts have been set up, most of them very similar to Windows. This helps those that switch over like I did years ago to be comfortable. However, there is much more you can do than copy, paste, and switch between open applications. I hope this helps you as you make your KDE desktop on Mandriva even more "yours".

I've put the Active Directory how-to to the side for now. Here is something for you laptop users, especially if you haven't set up power management (very important!). I hope you find it useful.
