Linux compatible AMD64 motherboard...
by DJ 01 Jan '06

01 Jan '06

Hi, One of my friends wants to go in for a new system. He is keen on dualbooting with Linux and Windows. He is going in for an AMD64 3000+ system. He asked me to recommend a good compatible motherboard with moderate to high performance. I am a complete newbie to AMD systems. I have a sempron system but I am clueless about which motherboards are available for AMD64 let alone the good ones compatible with Linux... Anyone with an AMD64 system please respond. PS.: I heard that AMD64 is based on different cores. Which core should he get? Also what should be the operating frequency of the DDR RAM he buys? 333MHz or 400MHz or should he go in for a DDR2? I know that the CPUs FSB and the RAM's OF should be in sync for optimum performance. What is it for an AMD64 system? -- Dinesh A. Joshi

The NTFS module is irrelevant in this case. The remote windows partition needs to be shared and then you can do something like: smbmount //winmachine/share /localdir -o username=amit,password=xyz Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org

RHCE tops CertCities.com’s 10 Hottest Certifications for 2006
by Venkatesh Hariharan 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

This article tracks which certifications are likely to be hot in 2006 and the RHCE certification topped the list. Interesting comment at the end of this article on the demand for Linux professionals outstripping the demand for general Microsoft administration skills. Venky http://www.certcities.com/editorial/features/story.asp?EditorialsID=95 #1: Red Hat Certified Engineer Vendor: Red Hat Reader Interest Score (out of 20): 17 Buzz Score (out of 10): 8 Total: 25 If you're looking for yet another sign that Linux is becoming a real player, then you've got it. While Linux certifications have regularly made our Hot Cert list over the past few years -- in fact, the RCHE has appeared on this list since we started it for 2002 -- this is the first time one has ever taken the top spot. Quite a feat, especially when you consider that the vast majority of CertCities.com's readers are Windows professionals. So how did this Linux title break through to No. 1? Having a stellar reputation never hurts, and Red Hat is well known for the quality of its RHCE lab exam, which tests candidates' hands-on skills with Red Hat Enterprise. "It's a truly challenging certification," commented Dulaney. "It carries a lot more respect than others in the market." But the title wouldn't go anywhere unless its skills were seen as marketable. And according to Morris, high-level Linux skills may be more marketable than some might think. "These days…it seems that demand for a great Linux person outstrips the demand for general Microsoft administration skills," commented Morris. "Not that Microsoft is going anyplace, but serious Linux networking is more [rare]. While [this is] not my personal area of interest, I highly recommend that others look at it with keen interest." http://www.certcities.com/editorial/features/story.asp?EditorialsID=95

synchronizing samba and kerberos password
by Senthil 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

we have a kerberos and samba server running in our lab for authenticating the linux and windows user respectively. both use openldap 2.2.23 as the backend. The problem is we need to synchronize the password in both kerberos and samba. we tried including an overlay called smbk5pwd that comes with openldap3. but we were not able to do that. How do we include smbk5pwd in openldap2.2.23 ? is there any other solution for synchronizing the password in samba and kerberos. we are using MIT kerberos V -- S.Senthil Kumaran blog : http://sskganesan.blogspot.com

Umbrella Installation Software
by Puneet Lakhina 25 Dec '05

25 Dec '05

Hi all, Does there exist a sort of umbrella installation mechanism that could take care of the specific ways of installing various software distribution mechanisms. I mean if the software is a tar file it should extract it, and then provide me with a dialog box for configure script flags and execute make and make install. Or for rpms it should execut the command rpm with appropriate flags. If it does not exist do you think there is any merit in trying to build one?? I know its just a gui for certain commands but if it helps non-programmer users why not?? -- Puneet

linking a single library file in GCC
by rohit bhute 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

This involves the Dislin library I mentioned in an earlier mail. I used it earlier in Dev-C++ using Mingw. In that case case, I simply added the file 'dismgc.a' in the Linker parameters window. I want to test it in Linux now. And in the Linux version of the library, there are two files, 'dislin-9.0.a' and 'dislin-9.0.so' - which library file am I supposed to link to? And how do link to a single file, from the command line? Both the library files, the header file and the source file are in the same directory. I'm using Ubuntu 5.10, it has GCC 4.0.2. -- Rohit V.

New domain name: glug-bom.org
by Anurag 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Hello, Our current domain name ``ilug-bom.org.in'' expires on <28-Feb-2006>, and will not be renued this time around, due to administrative problems with registration of .IN domain names. A new domain called ``glug-bom.org'' has been registered, and will point to the same services with effect from this sunday. However, till the ``ilug-bom.org.in'' domain expires, both domains will continue to function. It is a good idea to update your address books, email filters and bookmarks now, so that the transitiion will be smooth. Anurag -- __ __ gnu /noo/ n. Ox like antelope; (abbr.) /gnoo/ n.
