it's a 2011 post, it was v3.0 of android, pretty old now...

You need to download AMD64 version of your favorite choice of Linux (Ubuntu may be a good start but you can also take a look at Kubuntu, Mint, FC, Debian or whatever). Just take an AMD64 CD/DVD iso and boot with it I'm writing to you from my HP/Compaq 8200 Elite (Intel i7, 16Gb RAM, 2x500Gb HD). Gentoo Linux (AMD64) loaded…

Just a quick note about G+ Hangouts, if you want to use a Linux system you need to install it only on a Debian or Fedora based distribution. I've tried it to chat with an Ubuntu laptop and it works fine, no chanches with Gentoo, Slack, Arch, ... there's just a minimal support to Linux for it, I've seen messages about tests…

Back again as many of you, I think it could take a while to restore all previous functionalities, I was just looking at my previous blog posts and I cannot see them yet, I'll wait for a while before reporting it, I guess Dan and other guys from the staff are still working on it.

Here are few suggestions for an home server usage (or at least this is what I do with mine) - NAS and file sharing across the local LAN (like many folks here): music, photos, videos, films, software, configs and backups - file sharing with: Samba, FTP, RSync, NFS. I use these services for sharing my files across the lan.…

Start with BASH, then move to python

Please consider even these things: ICECAST, SHOUTCAST. If you plan to integrate all you music media in just one channel you must consider ICECAST as well. It's nice if you'd like to add for example your favorite internet radios or you want to create your own "local radio" for streaming contents across your lan, really…

Thank you so much Matthew, I'll try to use it after a little bit of study (and work obviously...)

GOT IT ! Come on boys, they've just opened it !

Like you, I've tried this morning with the new invitation sent from Matthew but unfortunately it seems they've closed it again

Indeed, I've received your invitation twice so thank you for it but I guess they've locked the site with some sort of user limit

My favorite choice is Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org), originally it was a Java development tool only but it's now my favorite choice for every kind of development, no matter about the language. You need C ? Eclipse+CDT, PHP ? Eclipse+PDT and so on... You may even do a lot of jobs with other languages, develop web apps,…

@Matthew: After your invitation I got this from their pages: " Already invited? We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon. " I've to wait for a while... :unsure:

My Nexus is detected as a common USB storage device and I can simply connect and see its content from my Gnome desktop but when I develop apps with Eclipse I always turn on/off the setting explained before (Goineasy9) for debugging/deplyoing apps and so on

I'm interested in Google+, is there something for Android as well ? I'm a quite happy skype user for Linux and Android as well, audio/video quality is fine even on long distances. When I've talked to you the last time quality was acceptable (US <-> Europe in a breeze) I'm currently keeping pidgin (with ICQ+MSN+Google+Yahoo…

I've no reviews or polls to review but I can share my opinion with you on production environments. If you're running your corporate business where the big players are dealing around (IBM, Oracle/SUN, Microsoft, HP, ...) you've already seen a lot of big names: Solaris, Win Server, HP-UX, ... and Linux as well.... In these…

It was one of the first Linux doc sites in the mid '90s as a collection of HOWTOs so I've passed many years on it , intro books for Linux are quite recent (it's a good thing) so unfortunately I've not read them recently. I've heard a lot of good things about: "Linux Administration: a beginner's guide" "Linux in a nutshell"…

http://www.tldp.org/ it's a milestone Start with it and related HOWTOs, you may even print it if you'd like to have a "physical" reference guide, there're plenty of information gathered in the last 20 years: HOWTOs, man pages, ezine, guides and so on. Cheers Ben

Lance is trying to use Samba in the new way, I was reading this post as well as other posts and he's trying to use it as a real domain controller. That's what Samba4 is for (or in their future plans at least): an AD Domain Controller , a file server and a MS Role controller (FSMO roles are planned...). I've tried to use…

You're not trying to build a Linux Distro, you only need to get Linux+XWindow and your own application. You're looking for a basic kernel, XWindow and a light window manager (TWM for example); then you need to use your own program and a good graphic library to complete your project. QT or GTK+ are common choices and…

You can easily do it with Gentoo, that's currently what you do when you install it in a drive. No matter if you don't finish the installation the same day and you want to contine with it later on. Now a Stage3 install is preferred but as Marc mentioned you can even install from Stage1 and it could take a lot of hours (or…

Don't forget SLAX (one of the Slackware's sons), if you just want it in your favorite USB key it's really easy to install and customize as well. I've never used it heavily for years since few months ago, I've had few projects with live distros and live filesystems in RAM and I've started with it again. It's really easy to…

I've used cfengine for a group of servers few years ago, I've never dealt with it in a big datacenter, I know ZLM but I've never used it

I've used this few weeks ago: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1146081 as you can see you're not limited to a 1k key. Cheers Ben

never had a problem with them, go with them !

Another vote for Thinking in C++ but also "programming in C++" and "C++ Programming Language" (from Bjarne Stroustrup). If you're dealing with a kernel or you're interested in OS internals you'd better look at a good C book (start with kernighan and ritchie of course ) or documentation, C++ is not so often used inside a…

...and to remove an user (or a list of users) ps -U marc -u marc -o pid,user,args |grep -v "here the user you want to avoid"

As Matthew already told you stay away from realtek wireless cards, I've a laptop with it, it works but it's so damn slow, no troubles with the wired eth card. Atheros wifi cards are more hacker friendly and well supported, expecially if you need to use your computer with penetration testing software or security related…

You may have one or more DVDs supplied with your computer from HP, there's a CD called Recovery or something like that, if you don't have it try to follow the nice video discovered by Marc on youtube. What I'm trying to tell you is to restore your computer to factory default settings, from there I'm absolutely sure you may…

@Marc: you're too fast for me :-), I was writing the same thing when you've replied :-)
