all the linuxes (linuces?, linuxen? how do you make linux plural) are
largely the same once installed. most importantly, make sure you get
a recent distribution (bookstores are infamous for stocking linuxtomes
with an obsolete cdrom pasted to the inside cover).
i would recommend anything with a packet manager (and libc6). redhat,
debian and suse come to mind. suse is from germany and so maybe has
better french support.
hope this helps.

Since the original intent of this was only ment to inflame linux users or
advocates and in no way put forth any constructive critisism I'll ignore
most of what was said....
I do however find it ironic ( humorous even ) that the original poster put
"Please dont flame me its only an Opinion"? What would this person expect
from such a comment....
Now to the heart of what I wished to say before HOPEFULLY we can put this
thread to sleep -- for good...
I fail to understand why either of you would bother to use linux if you
weren't willing to put in even the slightest effort..... The second
commentor here mentions that he doesn't know how to copy a file like he did
on dos/win ( though he points out he's used dos for since 1986 ), yet
further down he he says he'll go back to using NT and programming c++
there...... Somehow I doubt your programming capabilities, if you cant
figure out how to copy a file....really how difficult is it to a) look it
up in the man pages b) borrow a unix book from the library and learn c)
search the net or d) ask a newsgroup ?
How did you learn how to copy a file in dos .... I'm mean you did have to
LEARN didn't you.... this wasn't an ingrained DNA encoded instinct with you
was it? You just naturally knew... how about dir...surely thats not common
sense ( since list would make more ) and yet I'm sure you can do that
too...how? maybe you learned how to do it.... That you were unwilling to
put forth the effort to even try to learn is a comment about you NOT about
Linux...
So you get windows for free..... the difference is I can never be charged
for using linux without paying.... maybe someone will cc your message off
to MS and they come hunting you down...sure they have better things to do
but they sure would like making a point too and hey they got the spare cash
to do it...
While in your eyes learning linux may be like learning chinese a) over a
billion people have done it ( not linux, chinese ) and b) at least at the
end you would have had the satitsfaction of having accomplished something
you consider difficult.... That you would ever attempt to use linux
without learning it is laughable.... I wonder how succesful a tirp to china
would be if you didn't know even so rudimentary chinese or something of the
place you were about to visit..... You cant blame your ignorance on Linux
or the thousands of people who have developed it, though you may try.
As for the original poster, why... why bother with such a comment.... DON't
ANSWER BACK .. its rehtorical.... That you make comments such as "MS will
own linux" or "that bill owns us" or "that your vcr has a better gui and
that you could program a better OS" Really? Haven't done it have you? Its
great you can shout your mouth off but where's the proof.... If you're so
great then you could have joined the OSS community and help to make linux
more user friendly for the layperson...alas I doubt you've even used it,
based on your comments..... sure you may have listened to a few newsgroups
even read an article about it, but that is the extent of your knowledge and
experience I'm sure..... A second comment would be if vcr's are so user
friendly how come most people's still flash 12:00?
Funny thing too...My dad who doesn't know dos and barely understands
computers was able to sit down a the computer last night ( which happened
to be in linux mode ) and find mahjongg on it..start it and play it no
questions asked.... guess linux cant be that difficult...:-)

Hi Jeff

Does it display anything? a password prompt maybe? if your user name is the
same on both computers it will bypass the login and go directly to password....
If it doesn't display anything at all -- and I'm only guessing here -- then I
would assume there is something wrong when the computers talk to each other (
ie different protocol's or something )...this is an area I know little about
thoguh am trying to learn...
there is an article at
www.networkcomputing.com/unixworld/tutorial/013/013.part4.html
about setting up servers that may help ( its four parts and this link is to
part 4 but there are links back to part 1 - 3 )
Hope that helps

its not really a challenge
learning C or 80x86 assembler was a challenge
I meant that it just didnt flow right , from the start
hell I couldnt even have installed the thing
if the CD I had didnt have an autoboot funtion on it
yu gotta remember dude
I'm talking like 10 minutes after instalation
well 10 minutes after a MSDOS installation
I was cruising
I didnt have a headache like I do with linsux

get real buddy !
I cant even get to the CD drive
I type \dev\hdb andf I get permission denied
and I'
m supposed to be root
WTF???
and I'm just wondering if its going to be worth learning this illogical OS
as I dont believe it has a better future than any MS product
we are talking user friendly here
after all it is PnP these days
and no-one can screw up a win or NT instalation
but look atr all the

Subject: Raid1? How to do that?
Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 15:34:11 +0100
Hi Chuan,
I'm sorry, I don't have an answer to your problem, but I have a problem myself
installing raid1 support on my system. I have to hard-disks with the partitions
sda1...3 and sdb1...3. sda1 is the boot partition, sda2 the swap, sda3 that one
which contains all data (mountpoint /).
Now I wanted to have sda3 and sdb3 as md0 with raid1. How can I do this? I'm using
S.u.S.E. 5.3 with kernel 2.0.35 I always get the error /dev/sda3 already busy.
Modprobe means, it couldn't load support for raid1, just for linear and raid0,
although it was compiled into the kernel.
I would be very happy, if you can give me some advice.
Sincerely, Yves

I agree. The passwd file is not being saved. If you edit it a second time,
you can verify that. You should use vipw to edit the passwd file. If you
have made a mistake, you will get a "...passwd file mangled" error. Two
things to look for when you can't login as root: 1. you are attempting to
login via a terminal(session) that is not listed in /etc/securetty. 2. you
have mangled the passwd entry for root - maybe by changing the login shell to
one that does not exist, path for the shell is incorrect, or (on a
sophisticated implementation) the shell you specified is a dynamically linked
one. You can try to su to root (su root; NOT su - root) then modify the
passwd file. I've seen the latter work for login shell problems on some
platforms. If you are truely having a password problem, you could just boot
with lilo to single user mode: LILO: linux 1
To recover, boot from a floppy that uses a root filesystem on floppy - hope
you have one. Use a simple command like sed to repair: mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
cd /mnt/etc sed -e "s^/bin/ksh^/bin/bash^" passwd >ptmp cp -p passwd
passwd.mangled cp -p ptmp passwd cd umount /mnt (If you don't have other
passwords to save, you could just copy the one from the root directory of
your current session; i.e, cp -p /etc/passwd /mnt/etc/passwd).
Or... you could reinstall.

There surely is no short cut to reading a good book on the subject. I prefer
John D. Blair's "SAMBA Integrating UNIX and Windows" - 30 bucks! But I guess
I can give you some sketchy clues.
1. Use RH Linux Network Configuration Tool to setup your network card's
configuration. Click "ADD" and fill in the information requested. You'll
need IP addresses - maybe pick some in the range 192.168.X.X. I suggest a
tight subnet mask/network address (knowledge from your network class, huh).
Oh! Use the addresses you supplied to that working NT setup. Select
"activate on boot". Include any hostnames you would like known by name using
the "HOST" tab of the Network Configuration Tool. Include your LINUX
hostname and domainname using the "NAME" tab of the Network Configuration
Tool. Go back to the "Interface" tab and select "Activate". If it
activates, you can use it.
2. Maybe you should reboot to see the network card recognition messages - or
you could use the dmesg command. This is just to assure that your card is
recognized. If it's not, use the RH Linux Kerneld Configuration Tool to get
the module loaded. (You said the card was already in the kernel, so, you
shouldn't need to do anything - I hope). Ping the remote host. When you can
ping that NT machine, your hardware is complete. It's on to SAMBA
setup/configuration.
3. I'll try to make this simple. Use the following command to assure SAMBA is
running. There should have been some messages at startup that referenced
SAMBA startup. ps aux | egrep "smb|nmb" You should see something like the
following. root[559]... ps aux | egrep "smb|nmb" root 380 0.0 0.6 1480
648 ? S 17:41 0:00 smbd -D root 389 0.0 0.6 1320 600 ? S 17:41
0:00 nmbd -D root 1943 0.0 0.3 840 360 p2 S 09:44 0:00 egrep smb|nmb
root[560]...
if not, issue the script command /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start When it's
running you can check all the machines that are ready to play by issuing the
command nmblookup -d 2 '*' When you can get this far, hack up the following
simple /etc/smb.conf file to share a few things with the NT machine. I bet
you can configure the NT without my assistance, huh? I don't want to write
about NT, but if I have to, I guess you can write me :o(
/etc/smb.conf

Sharing resources that the NT has to offer is a diverse subject. There are
several ways of doing things (e.g., automounting NT shares or smbprint to use
an NT printer). With NT, I cannot emphasize reading a book on the
particulars. You may have Master Browser, LMHOSTS/WINS, PDC and User
authentication concerns.
