Linux

Why not foster whatever artistic talent the Linux community might have here by creating a new Linux art forum. It would be dedicated to discussing, and helping those creating art, themes, backgrounds, icons, logos, emblems, window decorations, and the use of apps like Gimp, PixiePlus etc.... for Linux ? I also post it at: http://linux.webmasterfund.com/devarchived/1262/65262-linux-artist-forum-for-lno.html; Post here or post at linux.webmasterfund.com, don't email. If you feel you have to mail, revert my....

I think you mean chgrp.

It stands for change group.

you use it thusly:

chgrp groupname target1<target2, target 3,...>

There were numerous vulnerabilities in SSH1. One allowed malicious data to be injected into an SSH stream. Another vulnerability in some implementations was to not disconnect after four unsuccessful attempts to log in, making brute force attacks easier.

Syslog is a system daemon that tracks system events and puts them in plaintext files the user can read. It also manages these files so that they don't get too numerous or too big.

Usually when something odd happens in any *nix system, the responsible first stop for an administrator is /var/log, where daemons like syslog places logs.

chown user file

dont forget that you should be owner of the file or root to give privilege to other users to a file

if your kernel is out of date then you could be missing out on features that are available in the new kernel

There are many factors:

A lot of users take the "ease of use" into account and may favor Ubunu or Mint.

Others may prefer package managers such as RPM, APT, or pacman and may choose Fedora, Debian, or Archlinux, respectively.

Still others may like having full control over every aspect of their system and thus may like Archlinux, Gentoo, or Slackware.

Sometimes it'll be about application: Phone? Android. Server? Red Hat. Desktop? Ubuntu. Router? dd-wrt.

It all boils down to preferences and needs.

You could install it on an external drive without shutting down. You would download the live CD ISO and install is in a virtual machine (VirtualBox), add the external drive in the USB menu, and install as usual.

Linux is an operating system, which means that it is typically considered to be the platform on which other programs run.

by default Linux doesnt support windows applications although wine and crossover can install and run them. you can take a look at winehq.org and www.codeweavers.com for more information on it and whether your application is supported.

Generally you run a program by typing in the name of the executable file for that program. If the program is not in the path, then you need to type the full path name, or the relative path name (e.g. ./configure). If the program is not executable, then you can make it executable with chmod +x (but do you really want that program to run). Script files can be run with the appropriate interpreter (e.g. sh configure)

World of Tanks is not officially compatible with Linux. It has been reported to work acceptably under Wine, but this can change as updates are made to the game.

two types hard linking and soft linking

It isn't virus free.

It is, however, extremely rare for Linxu to get a virus, due to a very low statistical record of in-the-wild malware (30) for it.

The reasons for this could be less popularity on the desktop, the high degree of technical users it has who would be all too effective at stopping a virus before it starts, it's effective security models, up to and including SELinux.

That would be ldd. You type 'lss /path/to/program' to see the list of shared libraries.

Linux as a platform and the kernel project have been and still are open-source to ensure that no malware or spyware have been inserted, and if any have been inserted, would be found and called out relatively quickly. For the most part, a large majority of Linux distribution maintainers and contributors have the general stance AGAINST spying on their users. However, there are exceptions - Ubuntu seems to be following Microsoft's footsteps (seeing as Microsoft is also part of the Linux Foundation) with their opt-in telemetry by default. For the most part, Ubuntu-based distributions that are not affiliated with Canonical should be okay if you wish to stick with Ubuntu's familiarity.

You would use a pipe.

For example.

ls | grep cool

The output of ls(the list of files in your current directory) is given to grep. Grep then finds and prints file names that include the word cool in them.

Normal.dot is a file template that is used to decide what settings are used when you start using a document. For example, when you load Word, it is already set with a particular font, normally Times New Roman, before you type anything. You can overwrite Normal.dot but normally it is best not to. It usually asks that if you have made some changes to things like styles. Save the document you are working on with an appropriate name, as seeing as you are not certain, do not overwrite Normal.dot on this occasion.

the command to make anything executable is chmod +x <file>

This is the problem, no one really knows. Unlike Windows or OS X, Linux doesn't really have you "register" or phone home to anyone, so no statistic on how many Linux users there are is accurate. I personally estimate Linux users number at least as much as OS X users, though many will not agree with me.

Traceroute uses ICMP packets to determine what the route internet traffic takes to reach its destination, recording each "hop" (where it goes through a router, hardware firewall or some other routing mechanism) along the way. It is most widely used as a troubleshooting tool to pinpoint which areas of a given network are causing problems. Windows has a similar command called 'tracert'

I don't remember how this is done exactly, but you have to uninstall the bootloader. You should reinstall fedora on the same partition it was beofore just to get XP booting again, then search google for some answers.

write ashell script to add awo matrix using array.
