  • Linux User & Developer magazine; By Simon Brew (Posted by russb78 on Jul 27, 2011 1:02 PM CST)
  • Story Type: Editorial
Simon went to buy a laptop from a big shop. He has sent in this shocking report from the front-line. It probably serves me right. Recently, my brother had a pressing need for a brand new laptop, which for reasons I won’t bore you with, I pretty much ended up having to get there and then. Thus, I was out of options: I had to go to a large store that I don’t like, and try to buy a unit in the quickest possible time. My mission was to avoid eye contact with the sales assistant until the last possible minute, and to give monosyllabic answers to any questions I didn’t like the sound of.

Me + Gentoo: Not a good ideea... Great distro though

I just had to go there. I had to go there and do something stupid… Let me tell you what happened. The tendency to learn something new is very high and very powerful, but as we all know you cannot learn without making mistakes. If somebody ever claims that he did something perfectly on the first try, you should instantly know that the person you are talking to did not learn a thing.

Red Hat Warns Government About Cloud Lock-in -- And Microsoft?

In an open letter of sorts, Red Hat is warning U.S. policy makers and government leaders about so-called cloud lock-in — the use of proprietary APIs (application programming interfaces) and other techniques to keep customers from switching cloud providers. The open letter, in the form of a blog entry from Red Hat VP Mark Bohannon, contains thinly veiled criticism of Microsoft and other companies that are launching their own public clouds. Here's some perspective.

Configuring iSCSI and adding iSNS Servers

  • BeginLinux.com; By Andrew Mallett (Posted by aweber on Jul 27, 2011 6:25 AM CST)
  • Groups: SUSE
In previous tutorials we've learned SUSE has made life very easy for System Administrators having developed graphical tools to manage many system components including the iSCSI target. As with most things in life there is a price to pay for this ease: YaST only writes to the configuration files and the changes do not come into force until the service is restarted. Command Line knowledge lifts us out of troublesome pit and gives us full control of our systems. Additionally we will add in ISNS (Internet Storage Name Service) to locate ISCSI Targets on our network.

  • Thoughts on Technology; By Jeff Hoogland (Posted by Jeff91 on Jul 27, 2011 4:24 AM CST)
  • Story Type: Editorial; Groups: Linux
Earlier this week I finally made the move and picked up something that had an Intel i7 processor in it. I favor laptops for the mobility they offer and I was lucky enough to get a good price on a Sony Vaio VPCF115FM. The first thing I do with any new computer that comes into my possession is boot Linux on it of course. I just so happen to keep Bodhi 1.1.0 on my flash drive and soon enough I was booted into my live environment...

NVIDIA Releases A Batch Of Vintage Linux Drivers

On the ATI/AMD Radeon side, when your hardware is no longer supported by the mainline Catalyst driver (e.g. right now all Radeon X1000 [R500] GPUs and older), you're left to use just the open-source driver stack, which obviously works quite well for many consumers on new and old hardware. AMD doesn't update their legacy Catalyst support for this older hardware in terms of bug-fixes and support for new X.Org / Linux releases. NVIDIA though, however, is continuing to support their vintage hardware via legacy Linux driver updates. This week they've released four new drivers...

Linux Screen Tutorial and How To

  • Linux-news.org (Posted by linuxaria on Jul 26, 2011 8:42 PM CST)
  • Story Type: Tutorial
Lost your shell connection? Need multiple shell sessions? You are logged into your remote server via SSH and happily plucking along at your keyboard and then it happens. Suddenly, the characters stop moving and then you get the dreaded “Connection Closed” message. You have just lost your session. You were halfway through some task and now you have to start over. Ugh. Well you can prevent this from happening by using screen. The Linux screen tool can not only save you from disconnection disasters, but it also can increase your productivity by using multiple windows within one SSH session. I use this tool all of the time in our server management work.
