hi everyone ! take a peak at this, http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,35166,00.html excerpt, Corel will base a Linux product based on the version of Linux from Debian. Though Debian's Linux can be purchased at many sites, Debian is a non-profit organization ;) Chadi
on bytes-per-inode Q
Hello List, May I know at how many bytes-per-inode is the default debian (slink) install at ? Or, in my already working debian system, how do i know how many bytes/inode is it presently set at ? I am about to add a new hd as my /home and i want to make sure I make2fs them in uniform. TIA, Chad
some DNS config q's
hI all !
i have successfully configured
my DNS in a way that nslookup ftp.mydomain.com or ww.mydomain.com will point to
me, for example, 111.22.33.44 ... i am master to this domain and doing a $
whois mydomain.com will give myself (111.22.33.44) as primary DNS and some free
DNS service as 2ndary.
my question is, how do i
configure DNS so that doing $ nslookup mydomain.com alone, (that is, w/o
those prefixes i added like www, ftp, mail, etc) will immediately point to my
address ?
and another
thing,
about the lines in /etc/named.conf w/c
says,
options
{
directory
"/var/named";
allow-transfer "111.22.33.44";
};
what if i want to allow 5 or
10 diff addressess to do zone-tranfers on my data, how exactly do that
?
thanks a lot and hope someone can
help,
Chadi

long LAN
Hello, I know you are the guys who has the real experience about these kinds of things and I was just wondering if you can give me suggestions as to how I may go about with this something that i just thought of. What do you think is the best way (or any other way you can think of) for us to link our local LAN to another LAN (same school, diff. campus) about 800-1000 meters away without having to resort to phone lines or leased lines. This is far too much for coax or UTP right ? ... Is there any way around this and still get like 500++ kbps tranfers ? Any suggestions will be very much appreciated, Chad
Re: creating preselected configurations for DSELECT
Milan Durovic posted this before but seemed to have payed any attention to it. His idea sounded great to me (I'm sure it will also sound great to you those who are in the computer realted businesses) so Im posting this again. Hope to hear something from you guys ! Cheers, Chad == Hi! I am interested in creating predefined selections of packages, similar to those that appear when you first install Debian (the ones with names like "scientific workstation", "Games machine", "Network server", "Developer", "Standard", etc. I would like to add my own "standard configurations" to those on the Debian distribution. Ultimately, this should all end up on the customized Debian CD. So, when I take the task of installing Debian on 100+ PCs, the task is greatly simplified. Where exactly are these predefined selections of packages specified on the Debian distribution? How can they be modified? How to add new package selections to it? Regards, Milan
