Looking Linux machine specs

[DevilDog#1]

If you have Linux machine running, please let me know:

1. Which version of Linux you running?
2. What are the specs of the machine?
3. Which applications are you running on it?
4. Where can I find those applications?

NO SPAM PLEASE!

My good friend here in town has Linux. I'll ask him to join the forum and post . He talks to me about it but I am just an idiot. He speaks of Mozilla a lot too. I'll call him .

Does Redhat count?

Redhat is a version of Linux

[Dr. Bullet]

Just wondering...

I had Redhat 9.x.x on an AMD 1.2, half gig ram. I just had the software that came with it (which is quite a bit). You can get everything you need from the Redhat Bible (book). It comes with the OS and software CD's.

It was ok. I had it for probably a week. It was almost just like Windows, except that I had tons of programs that I like to use and couldn't use any of them.

EDIT: I like the games that came with it the most They had snake

You want all 3?

k...

Webserver:

Intell Pentium 400 mhz cpu

128 mb ram

Running Gentoo Linux (gentoo.org

Apps:

Apache, php4, teamspeak server, pureftpd server, qmail email server....


Firewall

I don't know what it is passed on, but my firewall is smoothwall (smoothwall.org) running on 200mhz, 128mb ram


Play around with/ Backup webserver

Amd 800 Mhz, 256mb ram, running Gentoo Linux

Apps:

Same as webserver.. Currently installing Xorg and kde desktop.


Reason for using Gentoo:

Because it is easy to install the software.

Type in "emerge apache" and it will automatically download and install all the needed dependencies, and insome cases configure it so that the app works almost right way with out having to do much configuring.

Red hat linux is popular, but Fedora has got me looking at it...

[IcIshoot]

If I am understanding it correctly, Fedora is replacing the Red hat for consumers. Red hat is focusing the enterprise solutions now, I think.

Any ways I have tried several different flavors of linux, includeding Red hat (have 3 different versions of it).

Gentoo by far is the easiest to use in my opinion.


Slightly off topic, I'm starting to learn how to use Linux for Windows management.

I have the Knoppix Live Cd (meaning that you boot off of it and you have a working linux computer).

With it I can scan windows drives for virus, re-size partitions, restore windows NT admin passwords and even edit the windows registry.

isn't open source wonderful?

live-wire-tra heard me mention linux

I use SuSE 9.0 Pro

I don't have much technical skill

Yet I like using Linux much of the time.

Stuff like Flash, Aftereffects, Photoshop, are ideal for Windows.

Open source design has hits and misses. But it often has a special quality and makes for a better user experience.

I mean, for venturing out on the web, I feel safe and secure with linux. For that reason alone it's worth a try. There was no virus or malware with Konqueror...

I'm lucky to know a tech or two I can go to for help....but it's not needed once you are up and running.

If you are interested in Linux you can download various versions here. http://www.linuxiso.org/

I'll add that I was impressed by the extra apps included on the SuSE discs.

For example, if you wanted to do photo editing, you could put one of the discs in and install GIMP.

I liked Audacity. It's an open source sound editing software.

I've got two pretty good computers now AMD 1300 and 2600 w/512/gig of RAM respectively. I want to have a dedicated linux box.

The dual boot XP/SuSE works fine though.
