    Whats the main reason for you using linux?

    i think in command-line mode. i get frustrated not being able to (easily/efficiently) accomplish everything i need to do on the cli in windows. i just suck at using a mouse, what can i say. i could hack windows to look/act more like i prefer, but why bother when i can install some default...

    How do you move an entire linux image from one hard drive to another?

    dd works wonders in linux. :confused:

    Quick Question...

    lsof |grep hisusername |grep cwd that's the best i can think of, i guess. it could probably be finetuned a little more, at the very least, but my brain is too tired to consider the possibilities.

    More linux problems

    for the backlight, be sure that the correct version of power management is being used for your hardware (i.e. i use apm on my laptop since it's new enough to support it). i don't think this option is enabled in the stock slackware kernel, but i don't remember for sure and am too lazy to find...

    Help with WINE

    some applications require more windows base libraries (or whatever the windows people call them) in order to install/run in wine. but if you want to give stuff a try, just execute the .exe (./foo.exe or double-click foo.exe) in order to launch the installer and see what happens. i don't know...

    Fun with bootmenus

    as far as lilo goes, the start of the file is of significance also. personally, this is what i have. the section of interest is likely the "timeout" be sure there is a value greater than 0 here if you want to have time to make a selection (this is listed in seconds). also, be sure there is a...

    Linux (probably slackware) on an Inspiron 4100

    slack has had a 2.6 kernel in testing since slackware 10. 2.4 is still the default kernel on install. i still download the newest stable kernel (be it 2.4.x for my desktop or 2.6.x for my laptop) and forgo the sources included with slackware as a personal preference. also, i fail to see...

    Linux (probably slackware) on an Inspiron 4100

    i don't know off the top how old a 4100 is, but i have had no problems running slack on my new toshiba laptop. i built a 2.6 kernel so that i could get support for the intel wireless card, but other than that, i had no problems. i haven't bothered building synaptic touchpad drivers to make use...

    Ubuntu freezes my comp

    using the 32 bit instead of the 64 bit version shouldn't make a bit of difference. i've got production servers running 32 bit os on 64bit hardware just fine. were this my machine, i would assume it to be bad hardware since it so frequently won't even post.

    Best Linux for a Web server???

    being as how it's a school, i'd recommend red hat. they'll give it to ya for cheap cheap, just call and ask and then grin. personally i like slackware, but i really don't think it matters what linux you do for given servers unless it's an enterprise application, in which case i would stick...

    STATD Service

    do you use nfs? if you don't know what it is, then the answer is no. :) if you don't use nfs, you don't need statd--you can disable nfs, nfslock (lockd), statd (not sure if this goes away by disabling nfs or how fedora names this one), and probably portmap, if they are enabled. you can use...

    Software Raid

    the easiest way to do this would be to kickstart the system--if you haven't yet installed fedora there should be examples on the net, else use system-config-kickstart (i see this as one of the major advantages of rh/fedora). :) then you'd have something like this in the kickstart file: part...

    slackware lovers

    i'll provide answers too ... 1. i haven't installed slack 10.2, but it wasn't an option in the 10.1 installer. i think 2.4 is still the default and/or only option during the actual install, with 2.6 included in the /testing directory. 2. i believe a recompile will be required for smp...

    Need Some help with Slackware

    addressing the "device contains neither ..." error, to create an empty dos partition table, you can use "o" at the fdisk prompt. then add partitions and write the partition table. do you already have windows installed on that nfts partition? if not, just go right on ahead with this. you...
