Thanks in advance!
Can someone recommend me a linux flavor to install an oracle database on? I have no preferences for any flavor.
Is there flavor which is easier than others? Or has less issues?
I am trying to find the word count of a specific word in a collection of documents, in Linux.
I have tried with grep and ack-grep in combination with wc but I can't seem to come up with a valid combination of pipes :)
Following in the spirit of Hidden Features of Powershell and various others on StackOverflow, what Linux commands or combinations of commands do you find essential in your work?
Can someone point me to clear directions for a Dual-Boot system using Windows 7 on #1 SSD and Linux Ubuntu on SSD #2? And then configuring 2 HDD's in RAID 1 for Data (NTFS)? Clean Install all around. Or what other set-up would be preferable to achieve a similar goal?
From wiki:
The vital TRIM function is supported by the Linux OS starting with 2.6.33 kernel (available early 2010). However, support amongst various filesystems is still inconsistent or not present. Proper partition alignment is also not carried out by installation software.
So, which filesystem works best for SSD and supports TRIM + partition alignment during install and is available on Ubuntu?

How to find web hosting that meets my requirements?
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?
I am searching for a mp3 player for Linux that resembles 1by1 on features: light, free, with no playlists, just selection of files to play using a directory navigator. Any suggestion?
I have an ISO CD image file and want to extract it's contents to a folder.
I know there are ways to mount the image and stuff, but it's complicated.
I'm looking for a GUI tool to open up the contets and extract needed files.
On windows I would use WinRar to do this.
K3B only allows me to burn the stuff, Arch does not work with ISO files :(
Is there a similar tool on Linux, preferably from KDE world?
I am using WebDAV on Linux box with davfs2 1.4.6. When I copy a file to a mounted WebDAV service, it is goes rather fast, just like a regular local drive operation. And it actually is, because the file is first copied to ~/.davf2/cache directory. But how do I know that uploading is finished and where do I see current progress? Is there a way to know that uploading failed due to lack of space or file size restrictions?

I'm trying to run LKL (Linux Keyboard Logger) in a Ubuntu 9.04 VirtualBox VM
(VirtualBox 2.2.2 running on a XP host). The package installs
fine, but when I try to run it
lkl -l -k /usr/share/lkl/keymaps/us_km -o ./kbd.log &
it hogs the CPU usage to 50% and never logs a keystroke (in fact the
kbd.log file is never created)
Any clues?
TIA

I'm using VMware Server 2.0.1-156745.i386 for Linux on Ubuntu 8.10.
When I run "vmware", it brings up what is supposed to be the login page in a browser, but it just loads a blank page.
This is the address:
https://127.0.0.1:8333/ui/
Sometimes the login page comes back if you reload it a bunch of times, but this time it won't. Doing this also doesn't help:
/etc/init.d/vmware restart
Does anyone know why this happens, and how to fix it?

Hi guys,
I'm currently running a Vista machine, but would like to switch over to Linux, Ubuntu in particular. My question is can I switch over to Ubuntu, keep my Windows partition and use VirtualBox to access the pre-existing Windows partition? Or does VirtualBox require me to create a new install for Guest operating systems?
If not, are there any other free alternatives to accomplish this?
Thanks

Every now and then on this site there are people asking what are some sys admin interview questions. Mostly when reading them they are all junior to mid-level questions.
I'm wondering what are your best senior level Linux admin interview questions.
Two of mine are
1) How do you stop a fork bomb if you are already logged into a system
2) You delete a log file that apache is using and did not restart apache yet, how can you recover that log file?
Has anyone ever used/created a simple unix/linux log parser that can parse logs like the following:
timestamp log_message \n
Order the messages, parse the timestamp, and return:
All messages
Messages after a certain date (--since)
Messages before a certain date (--until)
Combination of --since, --until
I could write something like this, but wasn't sure if there was something canned. It would fit well in some automated reporting I'm planning on doing.
On Linux systems I can
watch -n1 tail /var/log/whatever.log
or
watch -n1 grep somestuff /var/log/whatever.log
To show updates to a log every 1 seconds.
On FreeBSD however, the watch command does something else entirely. Who knows a good FreeBSD command for what I'm trying to do? =)
I am using Red Hat Linux Enterprise 5. I am new to this development environment, and previously worked on Windows.
