Chaos Laboratory - » How To: Setup a DHCP Server on Linux
This is one of the first of a series of tutorials I wrote on taming the Linux daemons. It was first published at Astahost Forums on February 5th, 2005 .I’m sure all of you must have come across the term DHCP – anyone who’s connects to the internet has to come across it every now and then. You see the term even on the small setup instructions leaflets that accompany the dial-up internet packages from most of the ISP s. DHCP is what allots you a unique IP address every time you dial out to your ISP.

HOWTO: using gprof with multithreaded applications
What is gprof ? gprof is the GNU Profiler, a tool used when tracking which functions are eating CPU in your program. Anyway, you should already be familiar with it if you got interested in this page.

Failing Hard Drive: Linux to the Rescue - PC World
Over Thanksgiving, I had to deal with a Windows XP laptop, belonging to a relative, that blue screened during startup. Normal startup failed, as did safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, and Last Known Good. The first question that always needs to be answered in these situations is whether the problem is hardware or software.A thread on the lkml started innocently enough about proper spacing in source code, then grew and grew into a somewhat philosophical debate about evolution and code design. The subject of the thread was "Coding style - a non-issue" , the general consesus that ' scripts/Lindent ' solved the problem, a one line bourne shell script that executes indent with the "proper" options, as defined in the Documentation/CodingStyle document.

I often need to type characters that aren’t on the keyboard, like ½ ÷ © ¥ or ¢. On Mac , they’re done with the [option] key, but not always intuitive. For example: © is [option]-G and £ is [option]-3. I never did memorize all of these combinations, but there’s a nice cheat sheet of Mac accent codes, here . On Windows , it’s horrible. You need a separate numeric keypad on your keyboard, then you use the [Alt] key plus a 4-digit unicode number to create the character.
