Re: [Ilugc] My First Session for Engineering students
/** +1 to this. Creating a distribution is possibly a learning experience in terms of package management, etc, but it would be far more useful to learn to write and maintain software/applications. At the beginner's level, a new package management system is a bit challenging because lots of advanced concepts about security come into play. **/ I agree.. my core point is to establish knowledge pockets on all these skills.. whether package management, or application development or kernel coding. whatever may be, we need to focus on how to establish and sustain that skill set.. Another attempt i made was, after introducing them MySQL, i showed them how to connect to mysql from VB (which they already learned).. this way, the dependance on Access and mSQL server could be reduced.. Then we have gambas similar to VB, and MonoDevelop/Sharpdevelop similar to .NET .. So even in application development, the present state is NIL..

If it is RHEL or Novell/SuSE you can contact their tech support for help. You can also investigate if AMD has any Linux support channel for systems using their CPU. Do you have the luxury to boot the system using the latest kernel using a custom built kernel? At a minimum, scan through the release notes of the subsequent kernel versions for fixes related to AMD chips. -- Arun Khan ___ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe " in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

You should probably not reformat it as a single disk partition unless you are planning to use it for "large file" type file system for many large files. In order to give yourself some flexibility, you should create an LVM physical volume and then use LVM to partition the disk as you need to. This allows you to resize volumes if you need to.

I have been using an external USB Seagate 350GB external drive for backup. No problems so far. Regards, Kapil. -- Thanks for your informations, Regards, C.

[Ilugc] One Day One GNU/Linux Command (RDATE)
One Day One GNU/Linux Command = rdate -- Get the time from Remote machine. Summary : It connects to an Remote Time Server over a IP network, printing the returned time and/or setting the system clock. The time in remote server is maintained properly. So that all machines can get the time from that server. Example: $ rdate -p 192.168.1.5 -- Print the time returned by the remote machine. # rdate -s remote.pc.com -- Set the system time to the time returned by the remote machine (Need Root permission). # rdate -u myserver -- Use UDP instead of TCP as the transport. # rdate -l myserver -- Use syslog to log errors and output (Useful when it is used in cron jobs). NOTE: 1) Remote server should run the time service in port 37. 2) Firewall should not block port 37.
