550. List of Linux distributions. Timeline of the development of various Linux distributions This page provides general information about notable Linux distributions in the form of a categorized list.
Distributions are organized into sections by the major distribution they are based on, or the package management system they are based around. Linux vs Unix. History of Unix vs.
Linux Evolution of Unix (click to enlarge) In 1960, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, AT&T Bell Labs, and General Electric were working on an experimental operating system called Multiplexed Information and Computing Service or MULTICS. This was designed to run on the GE-645 mainframe computer. But it performed poorly. This experience, combined with his work on the Multics project, led Thompson to start a new operating system for the PDP-7 and they developed a file system as well as the new multi-tasking operating system itself with the help of a small team of developers.
In 1985, Richard Stallman created the Free Software Foundation and developed the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL), in order to spread software freely. Usage of Linux and Unix Linux OS is great for small- to medium-sized operations, and today it is also used in large enterprises where UNIX was considered previously as the only option. How To: Load Balancing & Failover With Dual/ Multi WAN / ADSL / Cable Connections on Linux. In many location, including but definitely not limited to India, single ADSL / Cable connections can be unreliable and also may not provide sufficient bandwidth for your purposes.
One way to increase reliability and bandwidth of your internet connection is to distribute the load (load balancing) using multiple connections. It is also imperative to have transparent fail-over so routes are automatically adjusted depending on the availability of the connections. With load balancing and fail-over you can have reliable connectivity over two or more unreliable broadband connections (like BSNL or Tata Indicom in India). I present you with the simplest solution to a complex problem with live examples. Note: Load balancing doesn’t increase connection speed for a single connection. The load balancing mechanism, to be discussed with example below, in Linux caches routes and doesn’t provide transparent fail-over support.
Upside-Down-Ternet. My neighbours are stealing my wireless internet access.
I could encrypt it or alternately I could have fun. I'm starting here by splitting the network into two parts, the trusted half and the untrusted half. The trusted half has one netblock, the untrusted a different netblock. We use the DHCP server to identify mac addresses to give out the relevant addresses. /etc/dhcpd.conf. How to Start (run) the tinyproxy daemon/service? Instalación de tinyproxy. Otras veces ya hemos hablado de la configuración squid como proxy, hoy vamos a ver cómo instalar y configurar tinyproxy cómo alternativa más ligera.
Esta disponible como paquete, pero lo vamos a compilar para quitar algunas opciones que no son necesarias salvo en casos concretos. Primero de todo preparamos el entorno: Download GParted from SourceForge.net. Got your hands on the Windows 7 beta and want to dual boot it alongside Windows XP?
Here’s our step-by-step tutorial to get you up and running with Microsoft’s latest OS. [#PAGE-BREAK#Step 1 - Introduction#] Scenario: You want to install Windows 7 on your PC alongside your XP installation on the same drive. You have already installed XP. Tutorial Summary: We’re going to shrink the Windows XP partition on the hard disk and create enough space for an installation of Windows 7 Beta Home Premium. This tutorial was tested on a VMWare Workstation 6 virtual machine. [#PAGE-BREAK#Step 2 - Create Free Space for Windows 7#] We assume that before you start this tutorial you have backed up the drive (partitions and data) that will host the two operating systems. Your first step will be to modify the Windows XP system partition to make space for Windows 7 using GParted The GParted Live CD ISO is available here – burn it to CD and boot the system from the disc. How to dual boot Linux and Windows XP (Linux installed first)
Home » How to dual boot Linux and Windows XP (Linux installed first) — the step-by-step guide with screenshots Updated 2 March 2009 – now uses Ubuntu 9.04 as the Linux distribution Scenario: You want to install XP on your machine alongside your existing Linux installation on the same physical drive which already has Ubuntu 9.04 installed.
Tutorial Summary: We’ll create space on the Linux partition to install Windows XP. XP bootloader is fairly clumsy when it comes to dualbooting and will overwrite GRUB completely. We’ll reinstall GRUB to the MBR and configure it to dualboot both Ubuntu and XP. Kill a Process by Process Name from Ubuntu Command Line. Mini_httpd. Mini_httpd - small HTTP server Fetch version 1.19. mini_httpd is a small HTTP server.
Its performance is not great, but for low or medium traffic sites it's quite adequate. It implements all the basic features of an HTTP server, including: GET, HEAD, and POST methods. It can also be configured to do SSL/HTTPS and IPv6. mini_httpd was written for a couple reasons. Are you using mini_httpd? On Red Hat Linux systems you can use RPM to install mini_httpd, like so: Kill a Process by Process Name from Ubuntu Command Line.
