You will want to look at the server that is acting as your DNS resolver. That information would likely be coming from that server.

Skype does work on Linux. I have used it before to talk to family when I was travelling quite a bit and cell service was spotty out in the sticks.

This is just a guess, but are you limiting the service user's amount of memory it can allocate? ie. /etc/security/limits.conf or something similar like a ulimit statement in a default profile.

Fedora does have spins that may be better suited to your tastes. I myself prefer the XFCE spin since my mindset is better suited to an older gnome2 style of doing things.

You might try a...

I have never had one catch fire. We had one that smoked, but no fire.


We did set a server on fire on purpose once. After a migration one of the particularly difficult hosts was taken out and...

You may want to look into your local laws to make sure that what you are doing is legal.

It is a saying that what works for one person may not work or be the right thing for another.

Cygwin is ok and I have used it before when restricted on machines. With the untapped power that most machines have now you might look at running virtualbox or something similar so you can have a...

I use fedora with KVM on my laptop to run a couple VMs and it works just fine. However, if you are looking for something with a longer life-cycle you might want to look into CentOS. There is a...

I read an article somewhere that they are having hardware problems on their web server. The FTP and other portions of slackware should be up from what the article said.

RHEL and clones typically going from 5.0 to 5.8 is automatic and encouraged. Upgrading full versions is not. They do recommend an actual full fresh install rather than trying to upgrade from 5.x to...

I think 6.x has been out long enough to be considered. Especially on a hosting front where people want the latest and greatest of X CMS, Wordpress, or new widget.

This is more for via the terminal than via a browser. The browser would still be controlled vi its configuration. You can keep/allow the user that is running a service in or out of a location that...

I have done the same thing. I can't tell you how many times I have put :wq in an email.

You can choose not to apply a kernel update. There are times when there are bug fixes/security fixes that may not apply to your particular usage.

You would be correct.

I was tired of dealing with the same old things with Windows. I needed a new challenge and Linux presented that challenge. I literally formatted everything in the house one weekend and forced...

I think that this will make the cult of Mac more aware of their position. As any operating system grows in use it becomes a larger target. Every system that is out there on the internet is a...

There are versions that offer paid support/engineering. Red Hat, and Oracle Enterprise Linux are two that work that way. Those are typically for corp users and those that have the business...

I think you hit it when you said it does everything that you need. I am personally more geared toward RPM based distros. OEL, RHEL, Centos, and Fedora.

One thing to keep in mind is that even though you have to buy Red Hat doesn't mean you need to buy the same level of support.

We buy our Red Hat for our production servers with 24x7x365 support,...

There has been more than one time where I have needed to allow more than a user or group access to some files. Also there are times when the group/user that has ownership is just too powerful for...

I actually use a trusty trackball. My hands fit a trackball better. There are tons of choices out there. I have always found that going to the store to try them first hand always helps.

Linux can run virtualized in either vmware player, virtualbox, etc. Either that or do a full install (Granted this will wipe out your windows install unless you plan for dual booting). There really...
