Linux, Linux, LinuxHi,
Interested in trying Linux? Well you came to comp.os.linux.advocacy
for some reason, and you probably won't stay long. Here's a list of
Linux distributions to choose from.
Ubuntu
http://www.ubuntu.com
Newbie friendly and good support forums.
SuSE
http://www.novell.com/linux
Pay for some support if you're not opposed to spending a little
money.
Fedora Core
http://fedoraproject.org
If you're more comfortable with your computer, try this one out.
If you get frustrated, don't give up so easy. There is a wealth of
information online for whichever distro you choose....
My Linux is not your LinuxTo the denizens of comp.os.linux.advocacy!
So many people demonstrate in this newsgroup that
they know only a Linux of Hatred and Greed, of paranoia,
and of a selfish sense of entitlement. They seem always to be
behaving like monkeys in reaction to human dissenters,
throwing feces at one another and beating their
chests pretending to know something.
My Linux is not that Linux. My Linux is the Linux of Love,
of sharing, friendship, community. It is a uniquely
human Linux and not one for monkeys. When I speak
with fellow Linux users in real life (i.e. not in the
monkeyhouse of COLA) they remin...
Why linux is linux
We don't destroy, we create.
We don't imitate, we build.
We are not a network, we are a personal OS.

Linux is more like this: <<
Like everything else, we consume and are consumed.
We exchange ideas with everyone,
to the point where it's almost impossible to track.
We are artisans, not mass producers. >>

I have Linux! I have Linux!
Ok, after two days of trying to get Windos 1900 installed and working , I
sat down an hour ago and installed Linux. In an hour.
Smirk.
Ok, I will be honest. I did have some problems, but I believe they were
of my own ignorance.

install. Why? Because I didn't read the menu. There is a startup menu
and the first entry is boot to harddisk. I thought that was the thing to
do so I did it about 4 times. Then I gave up. However, I went back to it
and subsequently realized that I should have chosen the 2nd men...
Using iPod on a Linux PC (NOT running Linux on iPod)(Couldn't find an iPod newsgroup...sorry if this is an inappropriate
place to post.)
I've an iPod (20GB 4th gen) that I'd like to use with my PC at work,
which uses Linux (Fedora Core 3.)
Even if it's just as a "removeable drive" (obviously I wouldn't expect
iTunes to work.)
Searching for info, all I can find is info regarding running Linux ON
the iPod, not plugging an iPod as-is into a Linux PC.
Does anyone have any info they can point me to regarding this?
Thanks!
Liam

ssh over php from w2k to linux hangs (linux to linux ok)Hello,
I am trying to make some bash-scripts, that are to be executed on
remote linux-boxes available to some Windows users over a php-interface.
To require no interaction from the part of the windows users, I installed
cygwin, generated rsa-keys and copied the public key on the server. I also
changed the user, running the apache service appropriately and I added
cygwin/bin to this users path. So, executing "ssh user@server something"
worked using the cygwin-bash or the windows CLI.
However, if I execute a php-script containing a "system" or

NewbieI am new to using the net to access a database as well as php, so
details (or a reference containing them) would be very helpful. I have
made my living for the last 8 years doing DBA/applications where the
access was via telnet/ssh to the machine with the database on it, so I'm
fairly familiar with the database side.
I'm interested in two cases of the subject: with the apache-php on the
same machine as the db2 and also where the two servers are different. I
noted that there is a --with-db2 compile option, but the syntax suggests
it only works in the case where the db2 ...
Linux Could NOT Have Invented Linux
The current view in Western technology is that Linus Torvalds invented
Linux.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The technical complexity and useability of Linux make it beyond the
capability of what man could produce using the tools available in 1992.
My theory is that Ancient Astronauts descended from the sky on 'Chariots of
the Gods' and showed Linus *how* to write an Operating System. These
alien visitors must have appeared as strange to the young Torvalds, and so
he may have mistaken them for carpet vendors.
