Hi behmoth,

The only thing you need to have on your first partition is Windows, it can't cope with being anywhere else. Linux and FreeBSD don't really care where they're placed.

You'll have no...

FreeBSD is one of the best OS's out there, IMHO. :p

You'll find that many ISP's use FreeBSD, I know they do here in Australia, as well as places like Yahoo. Check google's link for a list of who...

It's always BSD time! :D

I'm not sure with AIX but from my understanding you don't need to do this in Unix. After a bit of time your RAM will be released when the program that was using it no longer is running.

5 to 7 gig would be just fine for a workstation. I'm running mine on 7gig. :)

Most companies wont use Unix as a desktop they mainly use if for servers.
If you do find a place that runs Unix as a...

Since you're going to give FreeBSD a go, which in my opinion is a very wise choice :p , have a look at the Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html) . It will...

Hi Dalma

2.5g is just not enough space if your wanting to run X. I'm currently running FreeBSD 4.8 and I'm using it as a workstation, has X installed, prints, has sound etc. This is on a 7gig...

There's no way your going to even get close to demi-god in a month let alone god-like.

Sorry dude.

You can bluff your way through windows, sort of anyway, but not Unix, its a lot more...

Totally off-topic but for those wanting to brush up on their ancient Greek lore, check this. (http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/wrightj/MA28/Euclid/Essay.htm)

Would one of the distributed programs (http://www.onlamp.com/lpt/a/3694) be of any use for this?

:)

Warped sense of humour wouldn't go astray.

There is no royal road to Unix knowledge.

Oh and practice and practice and practice................

What's the size of your swap partition at present? What about your RAM, how much do you have?

Hi tamemi,

Your version of RH is VERY out of date. There could be issues with other parts of the OS that are just too out of date to be compatible with new versions of software.

Thats my guess...

It would be a lot better if you install the applications you need via ports as patches and such that are required for FreeBSD are added during install. You can still install your applications the old...

Many and few. :cool:

Ok enough of the cryptic answers.
There are appreciable differences between the two operating systems. One, Linux is a kernel, RedHat, SuSE, etc all package usable...

Hi cbkihong,

How are you installing the software packages you speak of in your first question? Are you using the ports or packages?
Also what install did you do, you may not have installed all of...

Why not take a look at some of the *BSD's. They are free, based on BSD OS and will give you an insight into other types of Unix.
My preference is FreeBSD. :)

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't KDE do a port for Solaris a little while back?

mmmmm....Just might have to look into getting a copy of Solaris just to learn a bit more. Although running it on i386 architecture isn't the best I suppose.

Sorry I couldn't help.

C++ seems to be one that is most widely used for many unix applications.
I suppose it all comes down to what you want to do.

I've never used Solaris before so my answer will more than likely be completely wrong but.....

Under FreeBSD you use tar -zxvf <file>
Is it the same for Solaris?

Hi sajjan2,

I'm not familiar yet with DNS but it will help others to know what OS you are running. You said Unix but thats a doesn't really tell us much. Is it Solaris, FreeBSD, HP-UX??

:)

If your running FreeBSD you can check the Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/dns.html) . I'm sure it will give you some insight even if your not using FreeBSD.

If your on a windows machine get a copy of putty and then ssh to your Linux box.

If you have a Unix machine at work, you can just use the a terminal to ssh in.

Either way all you need to do is...

After 3 days of uptime, surfing on the second machine and also playing games I'm convinced this has been sorted out.

I believe there were two issues involved.

1. The network card was not...
