Good afternoon from Singapore, I came across this Linux Journal article titled "DIY: Build a Custom Minimal Linux Distribution from Source", written by Petros Koutoupis. Link: <https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/diy-build-custom-minimal-linux-distribution-source> https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/diy-build-custom-minimal-linux-distribution-source Are the instructions in this article meant to be executed with ease on CentOS 1804 or perhaps easier on other Linux distros? Please advise. Th...

...in the top 3 (along with Ubuntu and FedoraCore). Thanks to every one who voted for CentOS. I really did not expect that we would be on the final ballot, though I am honored that we are.

Hi all, We are deploying a Linux server and desktops for a customer. We will have the users and groups in LDAP on the server, and files shared via NFS. However, one never knows if Windows desktops will be needed in the future. Is it a good idea to add users with smb-ldap even if samba is not initially used, as adding the samba attributes to an existing LDAP database is painful, and the

...ove my FC 6 boxes to CentOS 5 so I decided to pick on the laptop first. Unfortunately, I neglected to backup /etc before doing the CentOS 5 install (bad Dave, bad Dave) so I don't have my previously working configuration for reference. I attempted to follow the instructions at: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8017 http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8095 http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8151 that I had previously used to get the laptop authenticating with FC6. All I can ever get the radius server to spew is: ... (lots of normal looking stuff) ... rad_check_password: Found Auth-Ty...

I''m trying to collect media references (URLs) to articles, podcasts, and videos about Ruby and Ruby on Rails, like this month''s Linux Journal ( http://www.linuxjournal.com/issue/147) or the recent DDJ article ( http://www.ddj.com/dept/architect/187203512). If have such a collections yourself (or just know of some good references), could you please share them on this thread.

At my physics lab we have 30 servers with 1TB disk packs. I am in need of monitoring for disk failures. I have been reading about SMART and it seems it can help. However, I am not sure what to look for if a drive is about to fail. Any thoughts about this? Is anyone using this method to predetermine disk failures? TIA

For anybody who didn't know there is an article on asterisk in February's Linux Journal. AJ

Hello, We are setting up an asterisk system for voicemail with video possibilities. We are not using the voicemail app, but rather writing our own dialplan logic. The part of recording, and replaying, the voicemail works, and we receive both an h264 and an wav-file. What I now wonder is how to convert these into one file playable by a (standard) media player. I have not found any real good

I have found reference a couple of places on the web describing the details of authentication when rsync'ing with the server in daemon/non-shell mode. For example: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6508 "rsync's authentication mechanism, available only when run in d?mon mode, is based on a reasonably strong 128-bit MD5 challenge-response scheme. This is superior to standard FTP authentication for two reasons. First, passwords are not transmitted over the netw...

We have created a new version of freenx (freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch.rpm) and moved it to the testing repo. This is based on the code displayed at the LWE in San Francisco ... http://lwn.net/Articles/146825/ http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8489 (though it is not officially released as stable by the freenx people) This version should handle printing and reconnecting to running sessions much better. Running sessions (on the nx server, that is the machine you are connecting to) are stored in "/var/lib/nxserver/db/r...

Well, maybe this is sort of related... Eric Raymond has written an article for the Linux Journal on how to build an Ultimate Linux Box. You can find the whole thing at http://www2.linuxjournal.com/cgi-bin/frames.pl/articles/style/0014.html The machine is said to compile the Linux 2.4.9 kernel in 1 min. 50 sec. I wonder how long it might take to build R on this beast... Cheers, Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: Liaw, Andy [mailto:andy_liaw at merck.com] > Sent: Thu...

I got the DKMS-system working and now have the Nvidia-drivers v173.08 installed (using rpmforge as suggested previously). Unfortunately this particular driver version gives me screen artifacts so as to make the screen more or less unreadable. Nvidia's proprietary drivers are now up to v180.44 and this version is fine with my test system. I really like the DKMS-system, as it enables me

This isn''t Rails or Ruby related, but I just need some advice and thought I''d ask the bright individuals here. I want to start my own blog but I''m not sure where to begin. I don''t want to get a blogger account because I want to have my own domain. Blogger also doesn''t have many features. My hosting service is 1AND1 so it supports php, cgi and mysql.
