welcome to the Free world Amey.
Being open source, people have the freedom to do whatever they want with linux, hence linux comes in various falours (or distributions), each has its own pros and cons and peculiarities.
Mandriva (formerly Mandrake), Suse and Ubuntu are some of the distributions that are popular and also normally considered more user friendly. One you get a CD of one of these, u can easily search about more info on google or the websites of any of these distributions, and follow the installation steps etc accordingly.

No dude, there's no point in _opening_ /dev directory. You'll have to
press CTRL-ALT-F1 and login with your userid and password on the
console, issue dpkg-reconfigure, and restart GDM.
But even from GDM you could login and navigate through keyboard and
issue dpkg-reconfigure.

Thanks dude
I will try this and let u knw
Adios

Your's could be a serial mouse. You may have to do,
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and select /dev/ttyS0 as your mouse device, and say OK for all other
options.

Hi,
I have hosted one website in /domain/www.xyz.com/web
i have created three 3 ftp users i.e.,
admin
user1
user2
Home directory of admin is /domain/www.xyz.com/web
owner is admin and group is site1
Home directory of user1 is /domain/www.xyz.com/web/user1
owner is user1 and group is site1
Home directory of user2 is /domain/www.xyz.com/web/user2
owner is user2 and group is site1
Now the issue is admin should have all the rights on the
/domain/www.xyz.com/web directory
how can i edit or delete files from /domain/www.xyz.com/web/user1
and /domain/www.xyz.com/web/user1 using admin FTP login
I cant use group write permission as suexec in apache will not work
root rights cant be given due to security reason
Kindly provide me solution for this.
Regards
Jeetendra
Hi Gopi,
There should be no problem with a simple package like
cron on either of the distros.
Can u post or send me the logs of your exercise, u
could
script -a $HOME/crontrbl.txt
or enable logging in putty.
run the date command during the excersise after each
step you perform.
Let us know the results if u have already solved the
problem.
Regards,
Biju
