General :: Want To Develop Own Distribution

May 6, 2010

Where would I begin if I want to develop my own distribution? I have the kernel 2.6 downloaded, so obviously I need that. Anyone have a decent site or book I can look at? I want to use KDE/Gnome, with a GUI installer. I know a bit of C/C++, and I'll need a good, (and cheap if possible) book to brush up.

General :: Where To Store Application That I Develop?

Sep 6, 2011

I'm developing a server application for ubuntu server, clients will connect to in through socket connection. It's in beta stage and under heavy development. At the moment lots of people are using it and it is updated almost every day. So I seed to seriously consider security issues and in the same time don't restrict myself too much. Now I have two questions:

Where is the appropriate place to store its files? Application consists of executable, some config files and startup script. But I don't want to spread it accross the filesystem just store in single folder for convenience since app is under heavy development. My guess would be to create new dir under /var. Right now I store it in my home folder.
Do I need to create separate user for it? I start it up using init.d script via sudo -u me. I want to restrict its access to system for security purposes but in the same time I want to be able to update it through FTP and not run into access issues (user that uploads it is different from user that runs it, and it sometimes need write access to some files). How to do that?

General :: Want To Develop Window Manager

Jan 25, 2010

OK, so i have been thinking of developing my own distro. After experimenting with LFS(Linux From Scratch), i now know even more Linux, but i could not find out to create a Distro. Now, i want to use an existing Linux Distro, modify source code, and develop my own Window Manager(like GNOME and stuff.. i HAVE googled it, but it was nothing good there.) I also know that Elive has a good window manager, but i want to modify it a little. Do you guys know a good way to start, or a good website with resources i can use?

General :: KDevelop: Only To Develop GUI Applications?

Aug 12, 2011

Kernel 2.6.21.5, slackware 12.0 Kdevelop 3.3.91 writing a C program of a pretty good size and, when I am done compiling, I'll have to begin debugging. I know of dbg, but was thinking in one of those integrated development environments (IDEs). Looking into my HDD, I found a KDevelop package and began to see what it was about. The documentation (help) is copious and it seems I will never get to the point in the docs where I'll know if it serves my purpose. For I'm afraid it is intended to develop appls for KDE, when in reality, my appl runs in a text console. So that is the question. Is KDevelop mainly intended for developing GUI applications?

General :: What Does 'distribution' Mean?

Jan 10, 2010

What does "distribution" mean? My Acer computer, on which I have linux linpus lite, comes with very little documentation and while I have a physics BA and have had exposure to technology, my knowledge of linux is just about zip. Is there a good place to start? As you can see, this question about the word "distribution" is a razor thin top of an enormous iceberg of ignorance.

General :: How To Find A 64-bit Distribution

Jan 31, 2010

I need a 64-bit Linux distribution to beta test TeraChem, a GPU-based quantum chemistry package. I have never personally used Linux, however, and I don't know anything about the available distributions. I was wondering if I could get some recommendations.

My system specifications:

CPU: Xeon W3520
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 275
Motherboard: GIGABYTE EX-58 UD5
Current OS: Windows 7 64-bit

I would not use Linux as my sole OS but would want to dual-partition (I think that is the term?). However, I think I would end up using the distribution for more than just running TeraChem. I may even become a convert!

What am I looking for in a distribution? Ease of use, efficiency, 64-bit. What do I know how to do? I can build computers, code in C++, comfortably use a command line.

General :: How To Build Own Distribution

I've been using and relying on linux for some time. I have even tried distributions like Arch.

General :: Looking For Intermediate Distribution

Dec 13, 2010

I've used Ubuntu for about a year now and I really want to move on to a distribution that involves more hands-on customization and more cutting-edge packages (with a wide availability). I'm mainly looking at Debian Testing, openSUSE, and Fedora, but I'm open to any other suggestions. I know Debian has a huge repository of packages, and I was also wondering if there were any good third-party repositories to get significantly more packages in Fedora or openSUSE.

General :: How To Decide On A Distribution

Jun 21, 2011

I've been trying out various variants of Ubuntu (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Linux Mint, Ultimate Ubuntu, to be specific) as well as the latest Fedora. The only thing that I can distinguish between the various distributions is the desktop environment that it uses (but some distributions, like Fedora, have multiple versions) and the software packages it comes with. But sofware can always be installed afterwards, and so can desktop environments, so what varies between the various distribution branches on a deeper level, on the things that the newbie user like me can't directly see? And is there any easy way to compile my own version of Linux?
