The virtual classroom is the future of Linux Training. As Linux grows and and more companies need Linux Server Training the virtual classroom will gain more acceptance based on the advantages that a company can create using virtual training. The virtual classroom consists of live interaction between instructor and student using VOIP and allowing students to login to the instructor’s screen to view demonstrations. These are the keys to any successful training, especially as it is related to acquiring skills on Linux servers.

Switch distributions – Keep your files & settings

I have been a GNU/Linux user for a year now, and in this time I changed 4-5 distributions. In this process, even when reinstalling the same distro, I wasn’t aware that I could keep the settings and configurations of my applications. The secret is the /home folder, where the GNU/Linux Operating Systems keep the data of the user, the configuration files of the applications installed and much more.

Linux Course: Understanding the GRUB Bootloader

  • BeginLinux.com; By Mike Weber (Posted by aweber on Sep 7, 2009 12:26 PM CST)
  • Story Type: Tutorial
This course provides a basic understanding of GRUB and gives you some illustrations on how to secure it and fix several common problems. GRUB stands for Grand Unified Bootloader and was created in 1995 by Erich Boleyn as he wanted to have a multiboot option. Intel based motherboards must be started with a 16-bit operating system because of a limitation to 640 kilobytes of RAM at startup. GRUB is used to facilitate the 16-bit requirement and load the 32-bit Linux kernel. The AMD CMOS is 64-bit so it can load the 64-bit kernel for Linux. In order for GRUB to work it must use a three step process on CentOS.

Taking a look at xPUD 0.9 (DistroWatch Weekly #319)

  • DistroWatch; By Caitlyn Martin, Chris Smart and Ladislav Bodnar (Posted by caitlyn on Sep 7, 2009 9:34 AM CST)
  • Story Type: Reviews; Groups: Linux, Ubuntu
This week we look at an even smaller and more unusual distribution from Taiwan called xPUD. At just 51 MB total size, xPUD is almost as small as Damn Small Linux (DSL) was. xPUD, unlike DSL, is not aimed at legacy hardware with very limited resources. Instead it seeks to provide a very simple, kiosk-like desktop environment with just a few basic, modern tools run entirely from RAM. As a result the minimum RAM required to run xPUD is 384MB.

Ubuntu 9.10 Gets Unreleased Catalyst 9.10 Driver

Besides the ATI Catalyst Linux driver still lacking public XvBA support (the library is in the driver, but there's no documentation or public implementations of it) even though we exclusively detailed the X-Video Bitstream Acceleration architecture nearly a year ago for enhancing HD video playback on Linux, the other leading problem we usually end up facing with AMD's proprietary Linux driver is their slow response time with supporting new X Server and kernel releases. AMD's policy has been not to focus on providing support for unreleased kernels/X servers, and then to provide the support once out, but while they do provide new releases on a consistent monthly basis, things usually don't end up working out as planned. In some cases it has taken AMD months to support new Linux components within their proprietary driver stack to the point that most recently support for the Linux 2.6.29 kernel wasn't even added until after the Linux 2.6.30 kernel had been out...
