AS above - I reckon it'd be really neat if my PS3 could accomplish all my web-browsing including Office Live and Google Docs, and had a simple office suite for my day-to-day tasks. It has the power, it has plenty of storage (now :--P) etc. etc. ... I could leave my PC turned off most of the time, or transition it to being the 3+TB fileserver it's meant to be :--D.

 

Am I crazy, or does anyone else reckon it'd be cool?

 

The one thing that keeps popping up in my head is that as soon as you make any step into non-entertainment areas, certain PC-like expectations arise. But srsly, PS3 already supports various printers, webcams and the like and Microsoft is only the software giant. It can be made to happen - I just don't know why nobody's taken up the opportunity.

 

Thoughts?

<silent-> my company gave me a small project do in linux , i need you to give me some advice.

<silent-> basically its will be a file server and something like 5 users will need to access a shared folder

<silent-> 1- first i will need to install an os, i guess i will install centos

<silent-> 2- i will need to share a folder i guess with samba give it full control, then the user from windows machines can accept the shar through a mapped drive , example t:

<silent-> 3- i will need to configure raid 1

<silent-> 4- i wanted to know what are my recovery options, how do i do do backup, if something happend can i recover my system to another day ? is there a tool i can install that create an image and then when i want i can restore back the image.

<silent-> for step 2, and 3 i think i need a how to toturial step by step cause i never done that.

 

thanks a lot

Hi.... I'm karl. I'm working in unix for first time so i'm new to it. Right now, i'm using Ubuntu 10.04(lucid lynx).

I need help in opening, reading and writing files(Ascii or text). I want to seperate the contents of the original file in different files. Plz help

I am looking for a sample of a VERY LOUD scsi drive spindown.

 

I am NOT looking for a youtube video, I would like a .wav file or something else that is lossless please.

 

If ANYONE has a very old LOUD scsi drive and mic, please??

I have made a new install of Fedora 14. The Firefox browser doesn't want to work.

I keep getting the message "Server not found". I have looked at my firewall settings

and can't seem to find a solution there.

So I am a Freakin Genius!!

I am in a networking class and the next project is to set up a dual boot, fedora and xp. Well while playing around with dick management stuff in XP I noticed that there was a 500 MB sector, I believe it said unknown, I saw my Fedora partition and XP so I figured I did something wrong when I initially installed Fedora so I deleted the 500 MB sector. (MBR??) Now when I attempt to boot I get the GRUB command line stuff (sorry I dont really get Fedora yet) and cant do anything, cant figure out how to get to xp or fedora.

Can anyone out there help with this issue?? I've been searching google but havent found anyone as dumb as myself who's had this same problem.

I want to change the location of the application when typing in service httpd start. where do I do this?

Fedora 14 Evolves Leading-Edge Open Source Technologies in Free Distribution

 

The Future of Open Source Emerges in Fedora With Compelling Features for Developers, System Administrators and Open Source Enthusiasts

 

RALEIGH, NC - Nov. 2, 2010 - The Fedora Project, a Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT) sponsored and community-supported open source collaboration, today announced the availability of Fedora 14, the latest version of its free open source operating system distribution. The Fedora Projects leads the advancement of free and open source software with a new distribution released approximately every six months.

 

Quote:"I'm very proud of the work that has been put into Fedora 14," said Jared Smith, Fedora Project Leader. "A myriad of contributors have helped to make free and open source software more pervasive with this release."

•  
  
  
• Framework software for Spice, a rapidly advancing infrastructure for desktop virtualization
  
  
• New debugging features for developers, such as support for dynamic/unplanned memory usage tracking and faster launch thanks to pre-generated indexes
  
  
• Powerful remote and out-of-band management capabilities with Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) support
  
  
• Updated tech preview of the GNOME shell environment, part of the upcoming GNOME 3.0 release
  
  
• A subset of new and innovative software from the MeeGo™ community for an enhanced experience on netbooks and small devices
  
  
• OpenSCAP, an open-source framework for the Security Content Automation Protocol, which provides a framework and approach to maintaining system security backed by NIST standards
  
  
• Support for emergent programming languages like D, and refreshed versions of popular languages such as Python 2.7, Erlang R14, and the Rakudo Star implementation of Perl 6
   
  
  

I've been switching back and forth between Ubuntu 10.04 and Fedora 13 for a few weeks now. They both seem to occasionally freeze up on me randomly... I thought that's why I was getting away from Microsoft! [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_dry.png[/img]

 

Fedora tends to do it when I'm using Firefox. The mouse cursor still moves, and even changes based on whether it's over text, a link, etc, but nothing happens when I click anything (can't close Firefox, minimize, open Gnome menus...). Keyboard shortcuts don't do anything either. At that point I end up having to do a hard shutdown.

 

Ubuntu seems to do it regardless of which program(s) I'm in. The screen will either go black, or go to alternating white lines and solid black. Usually I can hit the power button, wait a second, and hit enter, and then the screen will go through the standard shutdown check list, which suggests to me that it's just the GUI that crashes in that case, while the kernel and whatever else is still running.

 

My question is, since I'm having similar issues in both OSes, does that indicate that it's actually a hardware issue showing up in two different ways?

 

It's a Dell Dimension 2350 that I upgraded to P4 2.5 GHz and 1 GB ram. These things apparently don't have temperature sensors that the OS can interface with, so I haven't been able to get any kind of CPU temp monitoring utility to give me any useful information. It does have a variable speed fan that definitely speeds up with processor load though. It can crash when the fan's barely humming, or when it sounds like the thing is about to take off, so I don't think it's an overheating issue, though it has had overheating issues in the past.

 

I'd eventually like to move my storage HDDs to this box and leave it up 24/7 as a home network server, but at this point it's not dependable enough.

 

Thanks!

Right now, my linux box has both a Wireless b/g NIC (disabled) and a wired NIC connected to my Linksys wireless b/g router. All other machines in the house connect via the wireless router. Most are 802.11n capable, but because the router isn't, they're all limited to g speed. I can get a wireless b/g/n NIC for a lot less than a new wireless router, so that's got me wondering, how tough would it be to use the linux box in place of a wireless router?

 

I've figured out how to set up an ad-hoc wireless network, but haven't yet figured out how to route the internet connection to it. I'd imagine that would involve routing all but 192.168.X.X IP addresses to the wired NIC in one way or another. Also, I found and installed dnsmasq, "A lightweight DHCP/caching DNS server" in F13's package installer, but I haven't yet figured out how to configure it. Am I better off just manually configuring IP addresses?

 

I've heard it's possible to set up a domain controller (LDAP?) that Windows machines would authenticate against too... I'll have to start with sharing the internet connection first though :P

 

Thanks!
