PCPlus has a tutorial on building your own Linux distribution with the customizations you want, derived from Fedora, using the graphical interface called Revisor. "We're used to thinking of Linux distributions being set in stone. They're either KDE or Gnome, use a certain kernel and bundle certain applications. But this doesn't have to be the case. If you find yourself making the same adjustments each time you install a new distribution, it's worth creating your own customised version. Revisor is a tool that lets you do just this, and in this tutorial, we'll show you how."

Hi All,

 

I'm from Victoria, BC and I'm definitely a newbie compared to my colleagues in the office but I still love Linux. I've dabbled in Linux for a few years now (Suse, Mepis, YellowDog, etc) but I switched jobs 1.5 years ago and got dunked into the deep end of it. We have a CentOS 5.1 server & a couple of CentOS desktops which I help look after - although I'm generally considered the "Windows Guy"....Linux is still a main part of my job as the Desktop Systems Admin. I just switched to Fedora Core 10 as I found CentOS 5.2 was holding me back - i.e didn't have some of the libraries or tools needed or they were too outdated.

 

So although I've been working in this environment full time for over a year now, I still consider myself way behind the eight ball when it comes to getting things done.....but half the fun is in the learning right? I expect to be picking up tips from a lot of my fellow noobs here.

 

Cheers,

CdnTech.

Recently i came across this new problem .. every time i try to add a new contact in empathy it closes abruptly without any crash handler or error message ???

any one experiencing stuff like this ??

what do i do ????

using fedora 10 kde 4.2

hello from ann arbor, michigan usa. looks like i registered here awhile back but never hung around. sorry, not sure why. too busy elsewhere on the web i reckon. the recent pm spam issue proves that notifications still work and pulled me out of the web matrix, lol. now i'm gonna hang around and post stuff. hope y'all don't mind. good stuff only, i promise.

 

i have lots of reading to catch up with and it looks like there's lots of great info.

 

i'm a 54 year old dood going on 20. i don't work professionally with or around computers but rather just spend all of my free time trolling the internet and exploring linux distros. i quit the ms winduhs scene about 4 years ago and am now a firm believer in free and open source software. the richard stallman school of thought so to speak.

i've learned a lot about linux in 4 years and spend lots of time exploring distros in virtualbox. i just love playing with all the distros. it's never boring, it ticks me off sometimes but it's never boring. :)

 

i'm currently running mandriva 2008.1 with kde 3.5. i don't care for kde4 and refuse to upgrade to it. i just plain don't understand it.

 

ok, let me do some reading.

Hi,

Moderators...

 

Just thought you might be able to do something about this.

Below is a message that arrived in my gmail account today.

It's spam.

Thanks,

I have Fedora 10 installed with real player 11 as default music player but after some automatic system updates the real player doesn't function. Can anybody advise me as to how to get it working again?

Cheers, GM
