Runlevels - Debian (Ubuntu) / Fedora (CentOS)
2008-04-21 21:49:00 There are six different runlevels in Linux, there could be more than six, but for compatibility reasons six are the default. I have used RedHat and Debian based Linux, more specifically Fedora and Ubuntu and Debian itself, I have noticed that there is a difference in the runlevels on this different Linux distributions. Well but first let's define the runlevels: Runlevels in Linux are seven and they are: - 0 = halt - 1 = single user - 2 = CLI, multi-user, no net - 3 = CLI, multi-user, networked - 4 = open - 5 = GUI, multi-user, networked - 6 = reboot You can define more of them if you want, but whit this should be enough, a runlevel will define which software to start when you enter in that specific runlevel. For example if you go to runlevel 0, the computer will halt, and probable turn off (If it is a modern computer). When you enter a specific runlevel, Linux will run some scripts that are located at: /etc/rc0.d Run level 0 /etc/rc1.d Run level 1 /etc/rc2.d Run level 2 /etc/rc3...
Fedora and Fluxbox
2008-02-25 02:05:00 Just like The light weight Debian we can do the same with Fedora, I will use Fedora 8 and Fluxbox to install a light Desktop Linux. First start the installation CD, I have chosen the text environment as, this is supposed to be a light installation, I am doing this on VMware with 128 Kbytes of memory assigned. Once you get to the package selection screen be sure to have something like this: So you can select later which software to install, then on the next window, when you are selecting individual packages select these: Administration tools Development tools Editors Hardware support Text-based Internet Once you have finished the installation, you will have a very light Fedora, with only the minimal software installed on it, you can no use the ntsysv to disable the daemons you will not use, like bluetooth, ISDN, CUPS in my case. Read this great post to decide which daemons you need and which you do not. Once that is finished, lets start installing the X environment. yum install x...

checkinstall - trace your .tar.gz installations, and make/create your .deb
2008-02-08 04:33:00 I always prefer to use the package manager instead of compiling from sources, mmh maybe compiling is more creates more efficient programs, than using binaries, but in that case, we better use Gentoo or Sabayon, but if we are using Debian/Ubuntu, or Centos/Fedora, I still think is better to use binaries. Well this said, I have to add that sometimes there is no binary available for our favorite distro, in that case we are forced to compile from sources, but wait, we can still use a binary, we can make our own .deb or .rpm package and install it using dpkg or rpm, checkinstall is the program that will do the magic here. First install it, as it does not come by default installed. Debian / Ubuntu sudo aptitude install checkinstall Fedora / CentOS sudo yum install checkinstall Now as an example I will compile and install aterm which is a terminal emulator, I will write about it later. Ok, get the code wget ftp://ftp.afterstep.org/apps/at-erm/aterm-1.0.1.tar.gz Untar it tar xvzf aterm-1.0...
Make Windows XP Look Like Fedora Linux!
2008-01-14 19:34:00 Every now and again I post software to transform your boring Windows box and make it look like something cooler. A few months ago I wrote about the Vista Transformation pack for those of you not willing to endure the pain of Vista, but still want the prettiness of it. Not too long after that I wrote about a tool bar to make your Windows XP box look more like MAC OSX, and somewhere in the comments somebody mentioned yet another method.What about you Linux fans? Do you have all things linux at home, but at your day job you are forced into a world of Windows? Would you like to take some of your dignity back? If so, I have something cool for you.It is the Fedora Transformation Pack for Windows XP. It is a skin that makes Windows look a lot like Fedora Linux. You can impress your friends, and show your ultimate geekyness by making Windows XP look like Linux.I read a while back about some other packs like this, including one for Ubuntu. I will try to track it down and write about that at...

BLAG Linux, a Mini Fedora Linux
2007-11-15 06:18:00 BLAG is a Linux distribution based on Fedora Core and reduced to one CD.

It comes on a single CD, is easily installed, and user friendly. Power users have the resources of a repository that combines bits from Fedora, freshrpms, Dries, ATrpms, livna, Planet CCRMA, and our own special brews.BLAG 70000 (sugarwater) is a new series with a new base (F7) and many new applications.

Assuming your system boots normally, the first screen you should see contains a couple of installation options. You can install Fedora in either graphical mode, or in text mode. Text mode is useful if your having trouble working with the your system's graphics adapter.2.Regardless of which mode you choose for installation,the next screen is a text screen that asks if you want to test your CD media before you install. If you have new disc,skip this section and click next. This test makes sure the installer will be able to read everythingit needs to properly install.3. The graphical installation begins.
