Fedora Server
by Earle Beason 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

I take the jab from LukeJr, and remind him of a previous conversation off line however the actual reason is "Why not?," When I figure out how do do it with fedora, I am going to scratch it and repeat for ubuntu, suze, BSD, and whatever else comes across my hands. I know they are all pretty much the same in theory, but I have been told Fedora is the worst way to go for a beginner, er that is outside of slackware and the whole compile the kernel as you go; but when I get to that level and have a question, I'll ask...... But thanks to those who gave a "educational" response

Remote Application questions- may determine which Distro I use.
by Oren Beck 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Simple concept: I have been running ramdisk Linux distros whan at home to compatibility check them. And waiting to make a selection based on which distro will best handle solving the below scenario. Is it practical to use a slow wireless notebook thru remote sessions at reasonable speed? The "Host" and notebook for those remote sessions is defined below as "Pertinent Details" Above all else- Web browsing that's not painful. Primary Need there. Dead last but would be nice: Remote word processing NOT Google docs but local with forms printing. As in to access/update a campground reservation program and docs for the same property. Pertinent details: I am now the owner of a CF-25 Toughbook armored notebook. P166,32 mb ram, 2gig hd. Not a screamer. But folks have had X and wireless working on these. 80% of my "at home" weekend is spent within local wifi of my home. Home link to "outside world" is DSL at 1.34down/793 up. That 793 being averaged but for the phase 2 of this concept posibily an issue. Home hardware is: a dual core 2.88ghz class machine that I can get 2gig of ram in. 200gig ATA drive currently XP only but getting a Linux distro pending this current issue's results. I have an 80 gig SATA drive to dedicate to this project if booting from a dedicated drive makes this easier. Oren Beck 816.632.3695 www.campdownunder.com

This is a really cool idea and actually puts some of the off the shelf technology to good use. http://blogs.zdnet.com/storage/?p=220&tag=nl.e539 Phillip C.

Anyone on the list have a laptop for sale that can run Beryl etc?
by Oren Beck 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Simply put, I have some capital to buy a laptop. I would if possible spend my money in our community so to speak. Prices and required specs are flexible but. minimally I need to run Linux and XP: as dual boot, have at least 1 hour battery, internal cd burner and reasonably professional external appeearance for air travel. The IED look is a non starter then, Beryl seems the heaviest app I would run except whatever it takes to drive a scan/fax/prind device of some sort. So what's in play ? TIA Oren 816.632.3695 Identify yourself as from KCLUG as my calls get screened.

I don't know who from kclug is attending ITEC, I'm not. But whoever is may wish to bring a box, and some kclug info. Kim is speaking after the keynote. I don't think KCLUG is doing anything other than manning a booth. A mention after the keynote might draw some traffic, or let people know KC has a LUG if they don't know already. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kim Brand <kim(a)fileengine.com> Date: Oct 25, 2007 11:16 AM Subject: Re: ITEC/LUG To: Billy Crook <billycrook(a)gmail.com> I'm presenting the session on Open Source/Free Software on Wednesday morning after the Keynote. I'm also conducting an Open Source Camp on Thursday. If you can get a box there running Ubuntu or something we can have some fun with a demo. If you can make some KC LUG info available during my presentation I will make sure people get it. Thanks, Kim Brand cell: 317-714-1913

Anybody interested in some PCs? (Just checking, not for sale (yet))
by feba thatl 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Hey, long story short, I'm considering selling my PCs, and I want to see first if any of you are interested, and second how much you pay/think they're worth (in case none of you want them and I put them on CL or ebay or something) First one, my old computer: It's a medion brand computer, premade so I'm not sure of motherboard. 2.4GHz P4 processor 512MB RAM (DDR something) nVidia GeForce 6200LE (EVGA I think) 80GB HDD DVD/CD RW drive DVD (?) drive also has a floppy drive, a few different types of flash drives, and an ethernet card (mainboard ethernet doesn't work for some reason) Second, my new computer: a bit of backstory, I actually purchased the parts for this in March, put it together, didn't work, half a dozen RMAs later I finally get a working CPU, GPU, and mbrd, but then I find my old computer's monitor doesn't work with it. It SEEMS to boot fine, but again since my monitor doesn't work I can't be sure, and you'd have to get it working with your own monitor and such. *** ASUS P5N32-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail <http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813131073>*(Hurray for copy/paste) *** Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Conroe 2.66GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6700 - Retail <http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819115002> 2 GB o*f RAM, DDR2. The RAM sticks are 1066, but the motherboard only goes up to DDR2 800. *** EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail <http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814130082> **** Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM <http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822136073> **** LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write Black SATA Model LH-20A1S - Retail <http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16827106057> **** MITSUMI Black 1.44MB 3.5" Internal USB 2.0 digital card reader with Floppy Drive - OEM <http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16821104104> And for the case and powersupply (again, unsure of the old computer) **** XCLIO WTSL Fully Silver Finish 1.0mm SECC/ ABS ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail <http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811103012> **** Antec True Power Trio TP3-650 ATX12V 650W Power Supply with Three 12V Rails - Retail <http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817371001> If you're interested, let me know. Again, they aren't for sale, but I might have to sell them. I have someone who's interested in the old PC, but I don't like him much, and I don't want to deal with installing windows on it for him. *
