    Qnext

    EDIt: the following is fro information on how I use VLC for confercing, not stating it better or anythings else, as qnext is probaly way better for your uses I used VLC for the marine corps, to stream video to teams in the field. It does multicast so its much less bandwidth restrictive for mutiple users. VLC sees the video camera the same as a video card. I agree its probaly useless for IM and chat with the video VLC (unknowing to the Marine Corps) is the engian for there small deployable video confrence systems (video camera, small mini-atx system running Red Hat AS 3), and video distrobu

    Qnext

    hmm never used it, but I use VLC (www.videolan.org) for streaming video (movies, web cam, ect)
  3. one suggestion I think most people forget about is to create a limited user, and only allow others to use that for the internet.. that way things will not have permission to install. you lock the admin user (your normal user) with a password. it may sound like a pain, but I would rather use a password and not have to clean up my computer every month. to create a limited user, go to control pannel --> users create a user, it will at the end ask if its is a normal user (read admin can distroy your computer) or limited. When I use windows I only use a normaly account when I must.. some game
  4. TO all Shanenin has created a CD that installs a Base Linux and the Freevo app. you can get a copy from my sight under downloads... and read the readme under other projects. www.iccaros-linux.org
  5. for those who may need to know, I found a mew drum machine program that looks and acts better then some prefecional apps I have used. http://www.hydrogen-music.org/
  6. ah... sure I always suggest people built it first.. but it depends on your meaning of the word learn, learn how to use apps (not really linux) any distrobution.. learn how Novel does linux (SUSE or what you have) learn how linux works form boot to operation (gentoo, linux from scratch, slackware) linux does not run well in virtual PC (its not a real virtual IMHO, no 100% bios emulation) vmware player (free) or vmwre esx (nwo free) will do a better job if you are going to try from a VM. also play with BSD and see the simularitys and diffrences between it and Linux..
  7. in Crossover IE works but activeX no, I use Vmware and with vmware player free now, its a good choice. but here is what I did.. I wrote rhe schools about standards, and about why they need to stick with standards or their degree is worthless. and Wc3 is the standard not IE. I go to Strayeronline, and the only thing IE is needed for is the new secure test systems.. but I explain to all instructors that I have no windows box to run it (it woll not run on a Mac or Linux even with IE), and I have been given wavers to test that way (as a matter of fact I have not had a teacher who onced explaned t
  8. I think the results are a wash.. in other words I do not think that ssh adds alot of overhead.. and it was the diffrence in internet conditions.. I bet if you ran it 100 times they would look the same.. but it may also be that hamachi is using service type and giving ssh a better priority.. NFS is a bad choice over a WAN.. LAN its great..
  9. try using the TCP funtion (see man nfs) to use tcp to mount nfs instaed of UdP. with udp nfs uses RPC to communicate which times out very fast.. note not all Linux NFS support TCP in NFS.. its the only way to get throug ipf filters on solaris as Linux talks backwords in comparison to Solaris NFS. NFS is bad over large latencys.. scp or rcp (since you are encrypting already).. would be faster and more robust.. but so would doing a ftp with the -s option to script the ftp in a file example ftp -s ~/ftpconf in ftpconf username password cd <foldername> binary mget * quit
  10. ok this is simple but it will also demonstrate how to make commads out of complex CLI stuff so you don't have to always type it.. here is the script before you edit it.. ffmpeg -vcodec xvid -i RUSH_r30-001.avi -b 375 -qmax 10 -bufsize 8192 -g 300 -acodec aac -ab 96 -ac 2 -s 320×192 /tmp/RUSH_R30.mp4 this is great if you want to take your video (home movies, DVD you own,freevo video ect..) but you have to type it in each time or search history and edit. if you do this cat << EOF >> /usr/bin/avi2mp4 >ffmpeg -vcodec xvid -i $1 -b 375 -qmax 10 -bufsize 8192 -g 300 -acodec aac -ab
  11. if you get back in.. check under /etc/defult this is defult setting for users and the system.. in mine I have a file called useradd.. which says that expire = 180.. meaning that user accounts expire in 180 days if not used.. you may have something simular..
  12. sorry, I can find no information on using this device with anything but windows (no MAC) on the manufatures site it states it will not work with linux or Mac OS X, 9 or 8
  13. for by name you can use the logout command (but may need to play with it) or if you are going to do maintnance shutdown -H -t 60 now The system is shutting down will log out everyone and put the system in init 1 so you can do what you need to do

    Old Hd.

    you could but a 3 gig drive is what 10 years old.. it is way past its life span, its really slow and inturn will make anything installed unstable and slow (not a good way to test or learn anything). it would be faster to use the vmware player to virtualy run linux on a faster computer. but incase you just want to get use from the old 3 gig drive try any of these DSL slackware gentoo(2 gig is miniamum) Puppy linux slax Iccaros-linux
  15. gentoo has a wpa supplicant To use wpa_supplicant-0.3.9 you must create the configuration file * /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf * * Please notice that the ipw2100 driver has changed name * to ipw, meaning you will need to specify -Dipw to wpa_supplicant * * An example configuration file has been installed as * /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.example * * Please note that the wpa_supplicant init script has been * removed in favor of sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.x * this is for the ipw2100 driver but shoudl give you an ideal

    Boot Time

    past the output of the following command dmesg you can also attach it as a txt file dmesg >> dmesgoutput.txt this will let us see what is happaning at boot. I believe it DHCP, wont know untill I see it.
  17. did you do it this way htpasswd -c /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords rbowen New password: mypassword Re-type new password: mypassword Adding password for user rbowen or did you vi the files?
  18. look in to nvu, it will allow you to build wysiwyg sites, but will also let you build using css and html (they have a tab for that ) and look back at the main tab to see what it did. ' its Open Source http://www.nvu.com/ has spell check, adn unlike FP will conform te the W3C standards. (also has a built in W3c checker to let you know if you are stadard.. ) plus will run on any platform I built my site with it..
  19. no I have unlimited bandwidth.. (linux server on doteasy cost $120 year for 20 gig...unlimited upload download) I can post it and you could just link to the download.(or what ever, I'll put a link on my site also..) I'll send you a ftp log in ..
  20. do you have your ISO posted on your site.. I'll post it if you don't have room.
  21. right click my computer ->> manage pc ->> disk management right click partition and select convert
  22. the last part.. his player is not compatable with napster if he must change formats. this gives you rights to move the song to cd.. not from cd or to another device.. in Law you say spacificly what you can do.. everything else you can't. see the last part about not copying that cd back to the computer (transfer back) which means you can not make a cd, then make MP3's from that cd This is the killer here.. This makes this transfer unlawful.. you can transfer to a "compatable" music device, not change formats to put on a music device, and it must keep the security requirements. which if you c
  23. for riping records its fine.. note never /ever use speaker out to sound card in.. if it does not blow the sound card it could damage the AMP. your sound card is balanced or non balaneced low level in your speaker out is 4 or 8 ohm impedence matched.. not a good combanation.. if you have line level out use that or try headphone outs and keep the volume low..
  24. Mac is correct.. here is why the last part.. his player is not compatable with napster if he must change formats. this gives you rights to move the song to cd.. not from cd or to another device.. in Law you say spacificly what you can do.. everything else you can't. see the last part about not copying that cd back to the computer (transfer back) which means you can not make a cd, then make MP3's from that cd This is the killer here..
