Howdy Just thought I'd waste some bandwidth about a Debian installation I got working today. It's on a cobbled together machine with a Gateway motherboard and...
I don't know about Debian, but in RedHat you edit the /etc/inittab file. Change the default runlevel from 5 to 3. Maybe this helps Keith "Bruce C. Anderson"...
"I want to start up in console so I can open a second console and run a distributed computing program on one console, and use the other for running GUIs." ...
Howdy Russell ... Just because I'm not familiar with how the GUI handles the other console. I've played with Freesco quite a bit, and just got used to swapping...
Howdy Russell ... Please disregard a majority of my previous e-mail. When I sent it, spell check automatically ran, and I'm hitting the ignore button blowing...
You could start additional programs using the init system. Put the startup script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and then put a symbolic link in whatever run level you...
... Process scheduling priority is completely independent (for your purposes) of 'where' the process is started. So nope, not a bit of difference whether you...
Here's something we used to do all the time back in the good 'ol days but rarely seems to happen anymore, but I thought I'd give it a try. I'm cleaning up some...
I have a server and COULD run DNS but don't really want to manage a DNS server. Most of the domains I have are registered are where they offer DNS. I have...
Hi John, ... Ya those are sure convenient but not much help for my inside nets. ... Thanks for the link! One or more might work for external secondary. There...
Russel, If you need DNS for internal nets have you thought about using an internal DNS server? That way you there is even less chance for exposure of inside...
... Sure, if I was concerned about something like IP leakage in the event of compromise I would, as otherwise would be irresponsible from a business sense, but...
Howdy ... In my case the portion of the above line would be the route to the file, or do I move the file to the init.d directory? ... Okay, I found it, and I...
It might be a bit simpler if you just started it off in the background in your .bashrc... You can nice it and nohup it there too. It really doesn't matter ...
One more thing, personally (and I suspect John might be a little queasy about it too), I'd be *real* shy about running somebody else's software on my computer...
Agreed... There are also ways (wrappers) you can fire it up with the init system but drop the app down to a standart used although I personally have not had...
A quick note to the geeks: Officemax has some Western Digital 120 Gigs for $50 after rebates ($130 before). I don't know how long it will last, I just saw it...

I noticed that some of the bargain basement systems at Fry's are sporting 120 GB drives. Must be overflow from the entertainment market. Anybody seen specs on...

HEY! more importantly does anyone know where we could use a room with lots of outlets and table space? LOL and it could be tune-ups for what we already have? ...
Howdy ... Sorry for the lack of updates on the Debian installation. I understand Russell's concern about running programs as Root. So I stopped trying to ...
... Did you disable the onboard video in the bios? Looks like the mpact vesa mode X11 works, or so it is claimed. If you're not doing heavy graphical stuff...
... I believe Knoppix sets up a vesa framebuffer for graphics compatibility on the console and in "X". Setting this up is documented in the Kernel source. A...
