I am a slackware user from slackware 9.1, these years I tried many distributions, but slackware always winner. I am familiar with server configuration and desktop setup for slackware, but I know nothing about the development model of slackware, is there a way to learn the development model of slackware?
Like, freebsd, you can checkout the kernel source, tool chains source from cvs then build it, some people will commit and check in the change sets, they have a mailing list for developers to talk about the development, for users to learn what are they doing now.
I know there are many README or Documents for slackware, but I donot know anything about internal development, is there a way? a mailing list? a source repository(cvs/git or others?)
I am very new to Slackware and Linux. I was able to install and run Slackware 13.0. But I have no clue to install anything to Slackware. Can some one kindly explain step by step how can I install pidgin-2.5.9-x86_64-1.txz ?. It will be a great help. How can I learn Slackware?
am thinking of buying new server that is tested in slackware for my company. as file server web server mail server and a capability of multiple hardisk (sas technology)to be use as san server in the future any recommadation?
Anyone know a manual to tell me the many things about Fedora? Like what is usr or a bin or a lib... Stuff like that I have a month to kill and I want to become an expert on this OS.
I want to learn shell scripting. So where to start and what are the prerequisites? Are shell scripts portable among different linux os? (Does a script written for CentOS, run on Fedora or on Ubuntu without any modification?)
I have been working on CentOS from the last 6 months. I want to know that which scripting language is best to learn.I heard about Python and bash scripting.And I think Python is fastest among others.
have a previous background in internet programming languages such as XHTML, DHTML, CSS and javacsript. I would like to start programming and managing my linux system (like an expert) and starting on linux projects also. My question is which is the best programming language to learn: C, C++ (may b even C+), python, Perl etc... I'm learning BASH right now cause I know its a necessity for linux systems. but what would you guys suggest after that I learn.
The last time I wrote code for anything was about 15 years ago using Turbo Pascal. I would like to get back into it, most likely to create some mobile apps or enhance web sites. What is the best general purpose language to learn? And what is a good method for learning, preferably free?
ubuntu terminal mingling made me want to learn programming, i started with python, using idle workspace (is this the right term?)i got to the stage when i need and want to use SPE workspace.i have downloaded it, but can't type in it - when i type, nothing happens at all.where have i been wrong please ?
I want of learn what are gnome-sessions, how are they managed, windows managers etc. I also want to learn how display turns from textual (u know, black background and white text) to complete graphical screen during startup.
I am trying to learn shell scripting and came up with a lil first script that I could actually use.I have a basic shell script and all it does is run:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
So basically just a shell script that updates your packages. NOW, my question. I made another shell script that makse a bit of a menu and asks what you wanna do, 1 to UPDATE or 2, to CLOSE. How do I make it so when they enter 1 it runs my update.sh ?
I am just starting to learn Linux and am interested in a career in Linux. Actually I wanna go for RHCE, which is the first step for Sys Admin..right?? Basically I do NOT want to go into programming/developing as I don't feel it's my cup of tea (and also may be it sort of boggles me). Still, from what I gather I am having confusions regarding whether I should learn any programming language for a career in Linux.
Here I am avoiding programming..and now I get to hear that Linux career uses programming..That's sort of frustrating...My friend told me I need to "master" C. Do I need to learn some programming language?? If yes, then to how much extent?
So a friend and I are new-ish to linux (I am reasonably comfortable with basic /etc text editing, command admin). We are, however, completely new to programming and (x)html. We have a few (what we think are) interesting ideas for dynamic websites.Ideally we would like to develop our own course of study to get to the point where we have a basic understanding of programming so that our adventures in the programming of a dynamic website would be possible. Much of what we need learn to do is the following: use daily updated public-domain data from several other sites, manipulate that data algorithmically, which would then yield updating output on our site. Here is what I would like to do:
1. learn the basics of programming with a language that would teach good code habits and fundamental understanding. 2. become comfortable with (x)html 3. learn another language for the extension of (x)html into a dynamic data-heavy website.
Question could you please suggest a way about going about 1>2>3?Ideally the language of (1) would be something that would not be "wasted" just on web design etc. As a language, C really appeals to me. However, if learning this wouldn't lend itself to being helpful in learning another language for webdesign maybe I shouldn't use it(?).If (1) weren't to be C, what language would be funadmental enough to teach good coding but also be helpful in learning (3)
I've no experience with IPSec. I've used many times OpenVPN (with static key or certificates x509). Could anyone suggest me a good tutorial in order to learn IPSec vpn with Linux?
I would like to learn basic linux commands and editors (eg : vi). Am using windows and it is difficult for me to install linux in ma laptop. So is there any free linux login servers available in internet so that I can login to server with putty and try using basic linux commands and editors.
What would be a good book/manual to read to learn more about linux o.p. systems? and how to use them.I have to add I may not have such a good internet connection I might end up with free dial up (Bummer)so I'm not sure if a link will do.I will end up at the library anyway. so if you could suggest something that would be good, I'm not really looking for the history but more like how to use, maybe the terminal and such?.
I wish to download a free version of Linux x86 (Debian, Mandriva, Red Hat or Ubuntu) so that I can install it and learn linux. The reason why I have mention the above versions is that I need to Install Oracle 10G on it to learn Oracle on Linux x86.
Can someone please post me the webiste url/s that I can download a free version of linux to learn?
