nVidia vs. ATI graphics card for fedora
by Globe Trotter
Hi,
I am ordering a souped-up workstation and I was wondering which graphics card is preferable for running fedora:
a 256 MB PCIe x16 nVidia NVS 290, Dual Monitor capable
or
a
ATI Fire GL V3600 256MB, Dual Monitor DVI Capable ATI3600
What would you suggest? I do not need huge 3-d acceleration and stuff, but want it to work well.
Please let me know if I should provide more information.
Best wishes,
Trotter

Virtualization for Beginner
by das
Hello Friends
As a member of a local linux group called GLT, a few different distros
of GNU-Linux we have to handle. One or two versions of each Fedora,
Ubuntu, and OpenSuse.
Earlier, I installed more than one Linux on the HD just for getting
some suggestion when someone is in problem. Gradually, due to the UUID
and all this is becoming problemsome. One brute way out is to rewrite
'fstab' with device-names in place of UUID-s. But people say these
days a lot of applications read the UUID-s, so this may get
problemsome.
So, after some friends suggested, I now want to go into
virtualization. And I know nothing. I have a really huge amount of HD
space, and 4GB memory. And my CPU has the virtualization flags. I am
myself using Fedora 11 Beta and I want to have virtual installations
of Ubuntu and OpenSuse on my system.
Can you people please suggest me from where to start, some good
documentation, and not too technical. We are a Linux-User group,
mainly teachers in profession.
Thanking You

The version currently in RPM Fusion's updates-testing is 2.1.4, while
the latest closed-source version is 2.2.2. Is it necessary to do
anything to convert the contents of one's ~/.VirtualBox directory to
work with the lower-numbered version? (As I recall, the update to 2.2.0
required a file format conversion.) Or can one just remove the
closed-source package, install the open-source one, and have everything
just work?
Also, for people who need the closed-source features such as guest
access to USB devices, is it possible for the closed-source version to
be in the nonfree repo?

Difference between NAT and NAPT?

In short, what is the difference? Are there any (dis)advantages of
using one over the other?

Apache Virtual Server
by Dennis Kaptain
I am playing with the Zend Framework on my laptop. In my reading of
Zend documentation it looks like Zend wants a certain directory structure
so I created:
/var/www/html/QuickStart/
/var/www/html/QuickStart/application/
/var/www/html/QuickStart/application/controllers/
/var/www/html/QuickStart/application/views/
/var/www/html/QuickStart/application/views/scripts/
/var/www/html/QuickStart/library/
/var/www/html/QuickStart/public/
The last directory 'public' wants to be the DocumentRoot
I want to set up a virtual server whose DocumentRoot is /var/www/html/QuickStart/public
my machine's name is confianza and it is running Fedora 10
[root@confianza conf]# uname -a
Linux confianza 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 23 23:37:54 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I set up /etc/hosts so both confianza and confianzazend resolve to 127.0.0.1
[root@confianza conf]# grep 127.0.0.1 /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost confianza confianzazend
My current apache web server uses /var/www/html as it's DocumentRoot and runs fine.
[root@confianza conf]# yum list installed | grep -i http
httpd.i386 2.2.11-2.fc10 installed
httpd-tools.i386 2.2.11-2.fc10 installed
jakarta-commons-httpclient.i386 1:3.1-0.3.fc10 installed
system-config-httpd.noarch 5:1.4.4-2.fc10 installed
[root@confianza conf]# yum list installed | grep -i zend
php-ZendFramework.noarch
I edited /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf as follows:
#
ServerName confianza:80
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName confianza
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
</VirtualHost>
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName confianzazend
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/QuickStart/public"
</VirtualHost>
I then restart httpd
[root@confianza html]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
I want http://confianza to return the contents of /var/www/html
I want http://confianzazend to return the contents of /var/www/html/QuickStart
What is happening is that both http://confianza and http://confianzazend are both returning the contents of /var/www/html
I've looked at several web pages and they all say the same thing, this should just work (TM). It seems simple enough yet my problem persists. What else do I need to do?
Thanks

Blocked port 25 activity -
by Bob Goodwin
This is an updated F-10 desktop computer, my ISP is a satellite service,
wildblue.net who quit providing mail servers and switched to gmail about
a year ago.
Recently I have been observing a continuous stream of blocked port 25
connections from this box 192.168.1.9 in the Firestarter log. The normal
SMTP port is 465. They appear to be directed at a google name server
although /etc/resolv.conf shows
[bobg@box9 ~]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 208.67.222.222

I guess it's not hurting anything but I would feel better if I didn't
see all this activity apparently going nowhere. I don't know how to find
what's causing it, at least I haven't found it yet.
Any suggestions?

Application For Backing Up Blackberry Data To
by Robert L Cochran
Are there any Fedora-based software applications that will notice my
Blackberry 8830 when I plug in its USB cable on a Fedora system? Or
better yet, when I pair its Bluetooth to the laptop? I'd dearly love to
be able to back it up to my laptop, and I use Fedora just about 100% of
the time for the computing tasks I do for myself.
Thanks

How to find which disk a LUN is mapped to
by Paul Ward
Hi all,
I need to find out which disk LUN6 points to on my RH3 box.
I have looked at /proc/scsi/scsi
This gives me LUNS from 00 to 05
Does this mean 05 is infact LUN06?
If so where can I see where that device is then mapped to?
Thanks
