Re: [Cooker] Distribution Style
O.K. here's some info. just read a post a couple of days ago in the news.soundblaster.com /creative.linux newsgroup. i'm really getting tired of complete newbies buying the linux package and expecting a "windowz" (duh) type of enviroment (and having users ask..."gee, how do i do (some eazy task)). lol I think some of these distrobutions should take alittle curtousy to place "notes" on the package stating "This s/w package is for users with some knowledge of computers (or so and so)" Didn't even realize this until the past week. lol.

[Cooker] JServ or Jakarta
Okay guys. I been at the hair end and frankly, I would like to propose a challenge to all for this little dilemma. If anyone have successfully complied and have the JServ or Jakarta running on Mandrake 7.02 using the Secured Kernel Version, I would like to offer that winner a year free of WebHosting with 250 Megs of space on our server with no strings tied except for adult content stuff. That means you can put many domains or such under the allocated space of 250 Megs on it. So to make this happens, I would like anyone who have successfully installed the Mandrake 7.02 and the JServ with the Apache additions that is found at http://coruscant.netrevolution.com/pub/AES/, which includes the following: SSL, Extranet, MySQL and such, except for the Streaming Server. So. if anyone can get that to work, I need all the documentations and steps on how this is accomplished so I can verify it and have it running on the server. When it is checked out, then that winner will get that prize. So...if anyone take it up, get cracking on this. If you have any questions, please send those questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you and hopefully, we can get this resolved. The rules of the contest is very simple and clear. Not on Redhat, not on Debian or anything but on Mandrake 7.02, the latest version there is, with Secured Kernel Version running on it.

Mandrake 7.02 installs a lot of useless software by default. For example CD Burning software is installed even if no burner is present. Disk space shouldn't be wasted like that. Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1

So If You are only working on your local machine, (standalone computer), using ssh is only a possibility to slowdown Your machine ;-) That, I did not know. I was confused thinking that Xclients would comunicate with the sshd through the arbitrary port ssh creates, but now I understand that Xclients are not ssh enabled and need to be fooled by using a X proxy on a different display number. When I make a ssh connection to the localhost, I get a definition like "DISPLAY=fulgore:12.0", which is ok, but for some reason, if I run an Xclient like xterm, it hangs there without doing nothing, even if I run "xhosts +"; and if I press ctrl-c, it takes about a minute to exit.
