Exactly, visudo is just a wrapper and should always be used to
edit /etc/sudoers.

[..]
 
 

As the OP pointed out he can modify other files in /etc, the
reason is, the fancy editor used doesn't know how to work with
readonly files.
 
 

'visudo' should respect $EDITOR, if set. If not it'll happily
default to vi(m). Makes sense thinking about the commands name
and the fact that there's only one editor. ;-)

how to use partitioned IDE hard disk of windows in Suse Linux

If you have no intention of ever having windows use it directly then

If you expect to share a lot of files Bill Marcum's suggestion is easiest. If
you expect to share only a few files lnxread.exe is around some place. Linux can
read some Windows file formats. I haven't looked in years however.

I consider "best" to be in a format native to the OS. That may be wrong. I have
never tested it.

fiber on a linux workstation

Gigabit fibre-optic interface cards are available from Intel that plug into
your PCI-X bus just like any other ethernet card. So at the hardware level
you could do it right now.

I have a Verizon FiOS connection that is fibre-optic up to the box on the
side of my house and then 100 megabit ethernet into a D-Link DI-624 and
through that into a 100 megabit NIC in my machine. Since I signed up for 15
Megabit download, that will fit through a 100 Megabit NIC easily. They offer
30 Megabit service, but it is much more money. So that is pretty close.

But the stuff in the fibre-optic is 622 MHz and I guess my machine could
deal with that if I knew the protocol. It might not be IP. The fibre-optic
connection also provides my voice telephone service (up to 4 analog lines)
and cable TV service. So there is a lot of stuff coming down the fibre optic
link and if I ran that right into my computer, it would have to be able to
separate all that stuff.

I think that made the board is incompatible, because I have a nic

That's what I would have told you to do, after I was sure that grub saw

Windows needs to "think" that it is the first drive on the machine, and
the map commands tell it that it is. When I put a Windows drive in my
machine, (they're in removable caddies) it is either (hd2) or (hd3) and
appropriate remapping allows it to boot from either of those locations.

Glad you got it sorted, on your own. The answers you dig for, and find on

linux to unix

Pretty sure thats just a standard VT100 emulator Or an X window server.

No problems there.

and RPM 

thats just fine. That is a windows LPD server. Linux will talk to that
all right, but you may need to play around setting things up.

With Samba, you may not need it either.

 

But these aren't Linux applications, they are windows applications..oh..

Do you mean you want to get rid of WINDOWS and replace with Linux? not
get rid of SCO UNIX and replace with Linux?

If there are any 

Right.
Short answer is yes, it will all work. Long answer is it will take some
careful configuration, because chances are there is some history in this
legacy system that will need to be replicated.

I bet what you have is a back office system with Unix databases and
applications, that need to be driven by the client terminals and take
printer output back to the PCs for form printing etc yes?

Linux would be ideal for this, stripped down to a minimal system for
reliability.

The terminal emulation is easy there are loads of terminal emulators on
Linux - and from memory there are ones that look just like sco unix
available. Smarterm may even do a Linux one themselves, but I am fairly
sure hat character screens under X windows are in the x-window system
somewhere.

The printing is a doddle - its native to Linux anyway, though you may
need to add a few scripts to replicate any special formatting you have
with the RPM packages.

Get one PC and convert to Linux and get playing. When you are certain
its rock solid, convert people one at a time.

If your network is trusted and secure, you may even be able to use rsh
so that the users only log in once - to their machines - and their ID
replicates across to the SCO servers on remote shell terminal sessions.




 

vmware on linux

We use VMware GSX or what is called server now to do this over a

the vmware-monitor program for Linux or Windows. You can install
whatever you want, share it, etc.

Works pretty well for us at work including hosting a variety of Linux
distributions virtually so we can have access to up to 5 different
distributions for testing and support.

You don't need to share things over NFS or any of that. Most likely,
the VMware guests you already have will work with server but you may
need to run them in compliancy mode or something. I don't recall the
issues doing that.

You will need a rather robust server if you intend on serving lots of
guests or having lots of people hitting the vmware GSX server. As an
example, I deployed it on a Debian Testing box running someting like
dual zeons, 4g of memory, and RAID 5 Seagate drives. This was
something like an HP DL 380 2u rack mount server located in a
collocation facility.

Status of Linux on Centrino?

Thanks for the comments!

Looks like I might be choosing one of the non-duo Centrino
models, to be on the "safe" side -- those are the majority
of models available, so maybe I'll find the one with the
right features and peripherals anyway.

Best Linux distribution for a Mini-ITX server?

Kadel-Garcia wrote: 

It's not a waste of money. A64 systems give much better 32-bit performance
than most 32-bit Athlon systems and are only slightly (if at all) more

should it ever be needed.

Why not use 64 bits anyway? Because the software you want to use may not
yet exist in a reliable 64-bit form. Using a 64-bit system to run the
32-bit version gives you the flexibility to run with what works now, and to
upgrade in the future.

OTOH, for a low-traffic Apache server the relatively modest and very low
power consumption/low noise EPIA systems are ideal. A64 is definitely NOT
essential for such an application (though it might help when building the
system, if using Gentoo ... distcc is your friend).

putting device driver on diskette

org (Dushan Mitrovich) said: 

Please, do read my other response (from Tuesday).

What you have, apparently, is a filesystem image. And that is something
you write not on a mounted filesystem, but on a raw device.

As you did not have the floppy mounted when you ran the 'dd', you just
wrote the file into directory /mnt/floppy/, which apparently resides
on your hard drive.
 

.... /mnt/floppy/ can be (and in this case probably was) on your hard drive.
The same directory location couls also point to a floppy, if you had
a floppy mounted in that location (and in order to mount a floppy,
you must first create a filesystem on it - either by mkfs, or by
writing a filesystem image onto the floppy).
 

Sounds like it's working exactly as it should.

Suggest a linux distro - programming/development machine

A 21-03-2006 01:41, ray escreveu: 

In the last Wednesday I've installed successfully Gentoo Linux 2006.0 in
a desktop computer using the Live CD. I've choosed a dynamic stage3
install and a GRP install.

I started the install at 15h30, and it ended at 19h00. I don't remember
if the GRUB was automatically configured or if I've configured it
manually, but that's only writing four or five lines.

Previously, the installation method was really more tedious, but this
new installer automatizes the installation.
 

Not only. With Gentoo, IMO, the configuration scheme is better. You can
configure things easier than in other distros.
But really speed is the main point. I was using Fedora Core in my
desktop, and then I've upgraded to Gentoo. Previously it was walking.
Now, it's running.

But if somebody wants, it's possible to use the pre-compiled binary
packages supplied with the install CD (GRP), or to use a binary packages
mirror.

I disagree with your contention that "everything you need" is provided
by the 2nd link. In particular, no where in the grub manual does it
talk about partition formats (e.g. ext2, fat, ntfs, reiserfs, et al),
which would seem relevant given that the /boot/grub directory must
reside in some partitition. On my linux system, /boot is an ext2
partition. And, this is not meant to be a criticism of the grub
manual. It is readable, informative, and covers almost everything
that it should cover, except for this one little nit about file
systems, and for 99.9% of the cases (or more) this issue is just a
nit.

However, if you follow the 1st link and then goto the grub wiki, you
can find some interesting projects like grub4dos and wingrub (just to
mention 2). If I read those pages correctly, you can get grub to work
on a fat partition if you use their tools. There look like there are
other projects which will work with grub hosted on an ntfs partition.

Hope this helps,
