    About setting up Samba

    here's one that is working s a pdc you need to get the ntlogon.py script if you want to use that. If you don't want a pdc you can use the other settings, it will work either way http://mylinuxinfo.com/viewtopic.php?t=5

    Best Linux Browser Poll

    Mozilla.. It's the most stable. The fonts can be changed. Java works. No problems. Netscape.. See Mozilla -- they are the same thing. Galeon is basically Mozilla with a different front end, which is nice. I don't need it. Konquerer has some really good stuff, but if your just browsing you don't need it IE sux. It has nothing. Just opens web pages. That's all it does, no features at all. Is the number one reason people feel they need to reinstall windows. Opera has some great ideas, It's too cluttered with stuff Links is great too. If you really need it you'll know why

    Firewall

    iptables you could use firestarter or some other gui. But they all use iptables. The best thing is to get a good set of rules and use them. look here for some good ones http://www.linuxguruz.org/iptables/

    Looking for an external serial modem

    just decide before you buy it if you want a voice modem or not, almost all modems will do everything else US robotic are good, it's actually getting hard to find a modem that's not USB

    need help on ftp server choice

    you should setup ftp for anonymous only, upload is a bad idea on anonymous. If you do setup anonymous upload you need to put the file in a seperate partition from everything else. You should also make the folder write only, so they will not be able to download uploaded files. if you don't then people will use it for illegal purposes. in your ftp pub folder you should put a copy of "putty" then you can download it from any machine. It's a simple set of executable files for ssh and sftp then you could use sftp for non-anonymous uploads to anywhere you want.
  7. one the linux box run this dhcpcd that should set everything up for you

    Linux Distribution Suggestions

    1. Build the new compiler, whatever version. 2. Go into /usr/bin and rename gcc and g++ to gcc-<oldversion> and g++-<oldversion>. 3. Install the new version. 4. Go into /usr/bin and rename gcc and g++ to gcc-<newversiion> and g++-<newversion>. Symlink to the new names, calling the links gcc and g++. 5. Check to make sure cc and c++ are symlinks to gcc and g++.

    RH8 Problems

    try ctrl_alt_+ using the + key on the numlock keypad if that won't get it you need to boot into a terminal --------------------------------------------------------------- at the lilo prompt hit ctrl_x to get to boot prompt at the boot prompt use this linux init=/bin/bash if your image name shown on the boot menu is not linux substitute the image name for linux then you need to use xf86config to setup x again test it with startx
  14. normally I would link /usr/local/j2r???/bin/java to /bin/java ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.4.1_01/bin/java /bin/java your $PATH needs $PATH:/usr/java/bin
