Welcome to Linux From Scratch! The Unofficial Fedora FAQ Adding a Hard Drive in Linux This article is a HOWTO for adding a new drive in Linux. You can also watch the video. Adding New Drives There are many reasons why you would need to add a new drive to your Linux box. Conventional Naming This article assumes you know the difference between primary, extended and logical partitions.

Beryl-project.org KXDocker on Dapper Drake · supriyadisw dot net What is KXDocker? KXDocker is a docker for KDE environment. This docker is like Mac OS X’s Dock. At their official site , they said KXDocker is more powerful than Mac OS X’s Dock. But it’s depend on your self. Since 0.37 KXDocker started to work under more Desktop Environment, not only KDE Environment. KXDocker on Ubuntu Repository An easly way to install kxdocker just type: sudo apt-get install kxdocker kxdocker-data It’s will install KXDocker 0.39. Let’s start it First install these following packages: sudo apt-get install build-essensial xlibs-dev libqt3-mt-dev libqt3-compat-header kdelibs4-dev kdebase-dev Next, download KXDocker from their site . kxdocker-version.x.x.tar.bz2 The very usefull files are: kxdocker-resources-version.x.x.tar.bz2 kxdocker-configurator-version.x.x.tar.bz2 kxdocker-dcop-version.x.x.tar.bz2 kxdocker-i18n-version.x.x.tar.bz2 kxdocker-trayiconlogger-version.x.x.tar.bz2 The optional files are: These optional files depend on your needed, for me I just download:
Article on embedding linux David McCullough Deeply Embedded Linux is a term used to describe a level of device not accustomed to running linux. More often than not this means a device with very little RAM, limited or no storage and most likely no display devices attached. Some examples of deeply embedded devices may be printers, mobile phones, home gateway appliances. Quite often a good indication of a deeply embedded device is one which lacks memory management (ie., the processor does not have a Memory Management Unit or MMU). When linux is to be used for CPUs without an MMU, uClinux becomes the linux of choice. uClinux is a version of Linux for CPUs without an MMU and is typically targeted at deeply embedded systems with very little memory or permanent storage. uClinux comes in three kernel flavours, 2.0.x, 2.4.x and 2.5.x. On top of the kernels options are the libc options. This solution will show how to get uClinux running on a 3com PalmPilot. Download and install the latest m68k-elf-tools from: Install with:
AMD X2 PowerNow! & Linux performance — Twibble.Org A look at getting up and running with IPv6 on Windows XP. Windows XP is the first operating system form Microsoft to include IPv6 support by default. It is considered by Microsoft to be an experimental release and as such it is installed but not enabled by default. Enabling IPv6 Enabling IPv6 is a simply a matter of running ipv6 install from a command prompt: C:\> ipv6 install Installing... Most of the standard IPv4 network commands and user interface components do not show any of the IPv6 information. ipv6netsh To see the ipv6 configuration information you can use the ipv6 if command: Connecting with the rest of the world Having IPv6 running on one machine isn’t all that interesting. Native IPv6 If you already have a router that is connected to the rest of the IPv6 world (a linux router/firewall configured to talk IPv6 for example) or a local LAN full of hosts running IPv6 then native IPv6 is all that is required. Tunnel broker 6to4 address Firewalling Native IPv6 Tunnel brokers 6to4 addresses ping6
How to Spend Half a Million on Free Software Open Source software is great. Unfortunately with the Novell/Microsoft farce riding high in the news at the moment it could do with some good press. It’s not about to get some… One of the common factors cited in implimentation of Open Source software alongside increased security etc is lower total cost of ownership. With multiple support vendors, enthusiastic community support and no typical licensing fees it looks like a winner. Enter Birmingham City Council ICT. With a budget of £535,000 the council had a plan to deploy Linux software to 1,500 desktops. Birmingham City Council managed to deploy Linux to 200 PCs with it’s half a million quid. “That’s ridiculous,” said Eddie Bleasdale, the owner of open-source consultancy NetProject and an early participant in the project. Mark Taylor, from the Open Source Consortium said: “I have no idea how anyone could spend half a million pounds on 200 desktops, running free software”.
