I don't have a subscription for RHEL anymore and I want to update my server. Can anyone tell me How to Update Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 using CentOS Repos ?
I am a relative beginner when it comes to choosing web servers and hosting plans. I'm about to signup for a hosting plan with GoDaddy. My main requirement is ColdFusion and MySQL. The plans on offer include Linux and Windows based plans.
Which one should I choose, and why? I don't have a lot of requirements other than what I mentioned above. I never used Linux before but I doubt I'll ever need to do anything beyond tampering with my account.
What are the main advantages of one over the other?
Is there any way to coax Gmail into pushing new-mail notifications into my Linux machine, without using a full-on graphical mail client like Thunderbird?
edit: Thanks for all the responses, but (unless I'm mistaken) these applications all poll, none of them receive notifications pushed from GMail.
Also, I'd prefer a console-based program, as this will be running on a headless server.
Hi, What is the best way to install software in a linux machine if you dont have root permissions. I know that we can use few variables like PKG_CONFIG_PATH and switches like --prefix with configure to get a software installed in a local directory, but sometimes when there are recursive dependencies it is becoming tough for me to install all the packages manually. Is there a better automated way?
Update: What i meant by recursive dependencies is: to install package A, i should install package B, which in turn requires package C to be installed
How can I change the first byte of multiple files in Linux? Willing to use perl/awk/sed/whatever. Must work correctly on binary files (i.e. not change any other bytes).

I know that this laptop (Asus UL30A) does support playing HD material with the help of the GPU on windows. The question is how can I do this under linux? The CPU load as is implies that this is not activated. I assume that it's limited to a handful of codecs. But which player supports this, if its even supported at all?
My laptop has a slightly damaged lcd - it has a black strip on the right that reduces the working resolution from 1400x1050 to about 1375x1050 - thus hiding part of the right edge of the desktop, windows, or the mouse pointer should it be unwise enough to stray there.
Is there a way in linux to crop the monitor output so as to keep the screen inside the working area of the monitor?
edit: this is the same question as Limit video output to a section of a display and leave the rest blank

Hello,
I posted this over at stack overflow, but had a suggestion to post it here for better help. Currently, I am running Mint Linux (Release 9). I need to downgrade Java from version 1.6 to 1.5, and have been trying to figure out how to go about this. So far, I've had no luck. The package manager doesn't seem to have it.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
- Chris

I have all my domains parked with Godaddy registrar, and now I have aquired a small dedicated server to migrate all my sites.
How do I park my domains in the new site?
The server is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Box with Apache and Nginx running.
The only way to access the server right now it's via IP address.
Hi,
My MacBook's HD started failing recently. Fortunately most of the data was properly backed up and most of the other important data could be retrieved by hooking up the drive with the help of an external USB enclosure, but the problem is that my home directory has been encrypted with FileVault and I currently don't have easy access to a Mac.
So can the FileVault sparsebundle be somehow decrypted and read with Linux?
Hi. i know that in Linux i can stream using vlc and ffmpeg. i was able to successfully stream using vlc but only in static bitrates. i must set 400k/s or 800k/s. i want it to use as much upload bandwidth as it can consume. so if my internet line is not busy and i'm not downloading anything the quality will be better. is it possible to do such a thing?
I have just bought a VPS hosting package which runs PLESK Panel / Virtuozzo Virtual Container
I see from the answers to another question, that you can determine the Linux flavour via SSH.
But...
Is this information available anywhere in the PLESK Panel / Virtuozzo Virtual Container graphical user interface?
I am running:
PLESK Panel version: 9.5.4
I cannot say which version of Virtuozzo I have...(apparently that's only known by my hosting company)
I have a Dell Mini 9 with only Ubuntu installed, I want to install Windows XP also but I don't have and can't get an external CD drive, so I need to make a windows installation from the usb.
All the tutorials I found use windows to make the usb bootable, how can I make the same from linux?
