I hav recently used and Xplored Linux on my 2 machines in the house. But this time , i really went right into the core of usability of Linux.

The Journey was not a Pleasure ride (well i kinda Xpected that) ... but as i started to suceeded in doing things ... all the pain felt GOOD.

So if you got any Question regarding Linux. Do drop a line here. Dr. Kyro will try to answer it

Kyro.

------------------------------------------------------
BTW i will soon post a list usefull sites regarding Linux. also will try to follow that with Small nOOb Linux guide (I think i should trade mark this ).

oh no its Dr. Kyro, dun dun dun :o

yeah im not a Linux user as of yet, i will be soon enough when im bored doing nothing

so you became a linux guru overnight eh?
gimmi a commandline smb server setup then.
or how to recompile the kernel with ACPI support...


humm humm

u can recompile it with ACPI support? i need that for my laptop coz it doesnt support APM!

(or are u kidding)

Sam T

not kidding, it is availible as a service to me right now in mandrake - tho not in my age old textbased redhat 5.

but its not working, so i figure theres a flag needed to be set in the kernel. from what i've read it doesnt support acpi handling like windows yet - its still under development in linux, but it sould handle some of the load on the cpu in idle situations.

Nerds.

with APM said it was always plugged in and with Mandrake 9.1 that ACPI wasnt supported by the Kernel so might try a version later on.

i saw this one coming .. just wanted to test if there is anybody in the house of Linux here :wink:

BTW , I dont know how to recompile the kernel with ACPI support . or havent done Kernel compiling once.. If i had said that , that would be BS ...

So El_Coyote , How do u do it? recompile the kernel with ACPI support???

/kyro waits :hmm:

hi...this is my first replay in this forum so i hope i am welcome here

Dr.Kyro you said ask for linux and you will answer thats nice so i have a little question about doing linux engineering exam there is a place here to do it but it cost 350kd = kuwait dinar = $1000+

and thank you for your time Dr/all

First , I welcome Ninja to W2S.. hope you enjoy your stay here .

Second... Ninja ... My saying Dr.kyro was a small joke ... i am far away from being a Linux Dr... But now I know how to search valid info from vast Linux resources/sites on the Web. I will try to do my best.

I take that you are talking about RHCE (RedHat Certifiation Exam) online ;I went to this site redhat.com and it said this "The Red Hat E-Learning Curriculum will provide a complete Web-delivered training program covering the same skills and objectives as the instructor-led classroom track, as well as prerequisites and e-learning on Internet and open source technologies"

"The RHCE Exam itself will not be administered over the Web, but IT professionals will have the option of training themselves in the required skills entirely via Red Hat's new e-learning curriculum or in combination with classroom training. To take the RHCE Exam, participants will go either to Red Hat or a Red Hat Certified Training Partner, at a growing number of locations across America and worldwide. "



So i dont think there are any online exam by redhat ... but will search for other online certification exams
