Dennis Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Hi, I was wondering if we can have a new discussion thread dedicated to Linux? Like installation of linux, management of linux network, what rpms to install etc.... Think this would help most of us who are not familiar with linux but want to learn it. Of course we can join the forum of the Linux distributor, but then again the atmosphere we have here is something which is unique, and what more, we have the linux gurus here as well, since our webhost are running it Just a thought..

TCH-Thomas Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 I have been peeking on linux but is far from deciding if its something for me, but i wouldnt mind a thread for that and i agree, the atmosphere here are 100% uniquely nice and would probably have our questions answered in the nicest and most understandable way it can. -Thomas Quote
borfast Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 (edited) We already have one of those and I think it would be good to keep all the discussion there: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...?showtopic=2871 By the way, you might also find these discussions about Mozilla and Mozilla Firebird interesting: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...?showtopic=2832 http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...?showtopic=3807 http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...?showtopic=3802 Edited September 26, 2003 by borfast Quote
Guest schussat Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 We already have one of those and I think it would be good to keep all the discussion there:http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...?showtopic=2871 Looks like that thread has been inactive for a while -- I'd be happy to kick it off again, or at least wander over there and participate. Thanks for the pointer. Quote
Dennis Posted September 26, 2003 Author Posted September 26, 2003 Yup, thanks for the pointer Borfast. I had tried Redhat 7.2 sometimes back, but didn't really know what to do with it. And tried Mandrake bout a year back, but when I up-graded my M$ to XP Pro, haven't had a chance to install Linux in for a more serious look at it. Think I'm going to install Redhat 9 and tinker around with the servers that are available.... Quote
borfast Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Go for it, guys If you need any help, you know where to ask Quote
Head Guru Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 How bout a forum dedicated just to Linux, Windows, OSX and so on? Quote
Hockeypuck Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 How bout a forum dedicated just to Linux, Windows, OSX and so on? The only problem with that I see is there may be a ton of OS bashing going around, but maybe its not like that here. I havn't been here enough to notice the trends yet. Quote
Dennis Posted September 27, 2003 Author Posted September 27, 2003 I second that, a forum for OS's....... Quote
borfast Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 Sounds like a nice idea but... I don't think we'd have the OS1 vs OS2 problem but I'm not sure if we'd have enough discussion to justify a dedicated forum for that subject. Well, I guess we could give it a try Quote
Deverill Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 I don't think I'd split off for every variant of OSes that exist - there are a bunch and they have tiny followings but I think Linux is such a "big deal" that a forum for it would certainly be warranted and then maybe have a single section for "others"?
