See if you have any process that's listening to port 80:
netstat -t4ln If no process is listening to port 80, then that machine isn't forwarding it to 1234.

I remember when 192MB and 850Mhz was considered awesome. But by today's standards you'll find it extremely frustrating. If you do go ahead with this, I recommend you don't try to load X or anything...

You're running 300 separate processes simultaneously! I've never tried that, but I expect it would be very challenging for any scheduler. On top of that, there's limited bandwidth between your...

Are you saying you had to do it from within Windows8? You couldn't do it from the BIOS screen?

That's scary. What if the disk gets corrupted?

I have yet to put my fingers on a UEFI PC, but of...

Indeed! You've found a feature of bash that I stumble over occasionally and annoys me a lot.
It's something to do with piping into the loop. It seems to make it a separate process or something.
...

A lot of files get legitimately modified in some way during installation or operation, so I don't worry about them unless there's a problem. Though if you have an MD5 failure, "5", on an executable,...

If the text files all have the same extension, you can easily add the -name switch, like this:

find dir_name -type f -name \*.txt -exec grep -l "phrase" {} \;

If they they're not so...

Install lynx, if you don't already have it.
(On Fedora use "yum install lynx" as root.)

Then try this:

lynx -dump http://google.com/

This command runs through all the rpms on your system and verifies their contents. But it sometimes reports lots of insignificant stuff, so you could add --nomtime. The nine dots and letters are...

Is there a reason you're using your own hardware instead of using a hosting company?
If your primary interest is having a high-availablity site, that would probably be better.

Though I can see...

Exactly. The solution is to put one alias in ~/.profile (or ~/.bashrc) instead of using a separate file:

alias salias='source ~/.alias'

But I'm not sure what you gain by making it separately...

BTW. I regularly ssh into my home linux PC from work and from my laptop elsewhere. I do NOT have a static IP, so my home IP address changes every once in a while. But I can always find it.

How...

You are not alone! I wiped my laptop clean and installed Fedora Linux immediately after I bought it several years ago.



It sounds like you are looking for an account you can use SSH into. ...

I never heard of skill before. I was going to congratulate you on the find, but grief! Look how unflattering the man page is:

On Fedora (probably works on CentOS too) I routinely use yum search to find a package to install. For example, this command lists lots and lots of editors and editor helper packages:
yum search...

It should be in /sbin. But from the fsck man page: I thought I understood that fsck.ntfs, if it exists, points to ntfsfix. But on my Fedora16 system I see /bin/ntfsck and /bin/ntfsfix both exist...

Buy it--that's good. That will help support the people that do the work to bring it to us. Though I suspect most people download it for free and burn a CD.

But to encourage you, you should...

Look for ntfsfix on the CD. I haven't used it, but I think it's what you're looking for.

If it's not there, you should be able to download it from the Debian repository.

I have to use Windows at work and am constantly annoyed and disgusted by it.

One very big annoyance is that keyboard focus seems to frequently get switched away from the window I'm typing in, so...

(As always, backup your system before you start, yada, yada. At least copy all your important files to a USB thumb drive.)

First, choose a "distro" (distribution) of Linux. Distrowatch.com has...

Yes, Debian does indeed provide both GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU/Hurd distributions. Though "GNU/UNIX" would seem awkwardly redundant.

I personally try to use "GNU/Linux" and "free software" as much as...

I don't follow. How would SOPA or PIPA help Linux?


After Windows?
Some people?
What about you? Do you actually find using Windows preferable to using Linux?

Thought I'd share something I find useful.

Linux has the command-line xclip command, which I find to be much less intuitive that Cygwin's getclip and putclip commands. So I put this in universal...

Last night I typed in this command, accepted a huge list of updates, did other things while they downloaded, rebooted and went to bed.
sudo preupgrade-cli "Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle)" In the morning...

Not excited, but interested.

I don't pay a lot of attention, but when I do, I'm in awe of the speed of development these days, and even more in awe at the manner in which the development takes...
