Windows vs Linux
Hi, Some people say that there are no alternative applications in linux for these: 1.Microsoft office 2.Microsoft Visual Studio(for .net application) 3.Some games can't be run in linux like Fifa 2008,Cricket 4.Latest Adobe application such as Adobe Flash,Dreamweaver etc I think,Linux will overcome these things someday.

Many thanks. This is a great tutorial. It helps to learn basic uses of ssh. I was looking for this. It saved my time from googling and reading long "man ssh" page.

I think update 10 F11 with yum is always a problem.

Re: How to set up a DNS server(at Home)
Michael wrote:[
Just a minor additional suggestion: since this is for a home network, you
probably have DNS servers supplied by your ISP. You should configure your
named server as a forwarder rather than doing your own full resolution,
e.g., add
forward only;
forwarders {
68.87.76.178;
68.87.78.130;
};
to your named.conf options section. The values above are for Comcast in San
Jose, you'll need to change them!]
After cat /etc/resolve.conf, got this:nameserver 203.88.111.18
nameserver 4.2.2.2
Should I replace
68.87.76.178;
68.87.78.130;with the values:203.88.111.18;4.2.2.2;And what does the forwarder
do?Thanks
for reply.

How to set up a DNS server(at Home)
Hi,
Typing this "rpm -q bind" got this:
bind-9.5.1-0.8.b2.fc10.i386
In "named.conf file" I got this:
//
// named.conf
//
// Provided by Red Hat bind package to configure the ISC BIND named(8) DNS
// server as a caching only nameserver (as a localhost DNS resolver only).
//
// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.
//
options {
listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; };
listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file
"/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
allow-query { localhost; };
recursion yes;
};
logging {
channel default_debug {
file "data/named.run";
severity dynamic;
};
};
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
And in "named.rfc1912.zones"
// named.rfc1912.zones:
//
// Provided by Red Hat caching-nameserver package
//
// ISC BIND named zone configuration for zones recommended by
// RFC 1912 section 4.1 : localhost TLDs and address zones
// and
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dnsop-default-local-zones-02.txt
// (c)2007 R W Franks
//
// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.
//
zone "localhost.localdomain" IN {
type master;
file "named.localhost";
allow-update { none; };
};
zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
file "named.localhost";
allow-update { none; };
};
zone "1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa"
IN {
type master;
file "named.loopback";
allow-update { none; };
};
zone "1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.loopback";
allow-update { none; };
};
zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.empty";
allow-update { none; };
};
Can anyone explain the file contents in detail and about named.ca?
And what I have to do in step by step to set up a dns server ?
