It doesnt' matter. All of the essential parts are the same.
Let's rephrase your question.
Currently, I am trying to learn to eat ice cream out of a cone.
However, I am not sure which ice cream flavor I should choose for
for learning this method.
The only thing I would avoid is AIX, since it is unix in name only.
[the configuration in the /etc directory are not only renamed, but
their internal structure is completely incompatible with all other
flavors of Unix].

Get Linux. For $75, you're going to have an equivalent OS, AND a
ton of applications as well.

Subject: delete/backup questions
Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2000 21:14:07 GMT
Hi, I have two questions about the way Linux handles file deletion.
First, is this the correct process? The inode of the file has its
deletion time set to the current time, and its link count set to 0.
Then the directory has the entry corresponding to that file wiped from
it. Thus, there is *no* information left about the filename or
directory location of the deleted file (even if the file data is still
there). If there are still hard links to the file, then the link count
is decremented by 1, but the deletion time is not set.
Second, would this work as a crude backup measure? Hardlink your
valuable data somewhere else on the same partition. Then, if you
mistakenly delete data, the files are still there in your backup
directory, and no copying/moving was done during the deletion process.
To recover, make a hard link again in your original directory. Of
course, this wouldn't help against hardware crashes, or wiping the
entire drive out.
I would be very grateful for any information about recovering file
names (as you might guess, my interest is not totally abstract).
Thanks,
Janak

linux has no problems with two identical NICs.
windows (9[58] flavors at least), on the other hands, does have a
problem. both cards get set up from the driver. when you go to
configure them, you get presented with two copies of what looks like
the same thing. windows gives you no way to tell them apart. hence
you can't configure the things without a lot of pain. it's more of
user interface mistake than anything else.

Yes, two 3Com 3C905B-TXs will work together in one box. The only
trickieness is determining which is eth0 and which is eth1 when the
machine boots up. There is discussion about just this and related
issues in the Linux EtherNet howto. You may need to fiddle with lilo
parameters ("append eth0=...,eth1=...") and/or parameter settings in
/etc/conf.modules (options eth0 ...., options eth1 ...), look at section
3.2: "Using More than one Ethernet Card per Machine" -- this section
also refers to an online document:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/multicard.html, which is a
mini-howto about using Multiple Ethercards.

The modem still stalls regularly when I point the PPP device to /dev/ttySO

Subject: KDE, Gnome 1.2 and any version of Debian?
Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2000 18:09:39 -0500
I'm wandering through distros and looking at Debian 2.2, which I believe
is potato. I'd like to set up and use KDE and/or Gnome 1.2.
1) Will I have any trouble downloading and installing KDE stuff, such
as their 1.9x or eventual 2.0 series, into a Debian installation? I'm
wondering if "non-free" politics will get in my way technically.
2) The Helix Gnome site has an installer that wants me to use Debian
woody, which is apparently beyond potato, which itself hasn't been fully
officially released. Will I get Gnome 1.2 on potato? And if I don't,
will I have any problem getting Gnome 1.2 for Debian?
Some of you may snicker at me (ok, snicker now...times up) but I'm used
to CD installs for my currently non-internet-connected laptop and
(sometimes) desktop. I've an ISDN connection (external 3Com Impact IQ)
and haven't yet figured out how to connect it (where is an ISDN HOWTO?).
But mostly I'm a Java developer wanting some MS-Windows freedom and
pretty early in my experiences.
TIA,
Jerome.

Uh, there is none. ATT owns the trademark for Unix, so I suppose you had
better get their unix. (Not that I would advise it.)
There is a vast difference also between "unix" and the accoutrements
which come with various distributions. All fo those "administration"
programs are layers on top of the OS to make administration "easy".
Everything they do can also be done on the command line as well.
The improtant thing is to get one and use it. Once you know how to use
it, the rest will come easily.
Since Linux distros are free, get say Redhat or Mandrake and play with

They are all much of a muchness as far as your purposes are concerned--
they all have their peculiarities and similarities. Just get and use
one. The rest ( though frustrating at times) will all be similar ( and
different). Get a popular version. (eg Solaris or Redhat/Mandrake) so
that you have a large base of machines wich actually run those OS.

Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2000 18:14:22 -0500
Not clear what you mean by "changing directory names from inside Gnome /
properties". One thought however is to look at using symbolic links to
redirect directories to the new linux partition. For example, if you
want directory "/usr/local/pete" to use space in the new partition,
create a directory in the new Linux partition (for instance
/newpartition/pete) and then do the following:
ln -s /newpartition/pete /usr/local/pete
The above assumes that prior to executing the ln command, the
/usr/local/pete directory does not yet exist. If you already have a lot
of data in /usr/local/pete, rename the direcotory temporarily
(/usr/loca/pete.old for example) and perform the ln command. Then, you
can copy back all the files/directories in pete.old to the new pete.
One way to do this is to cd to /usr/local/pete.old and execute the
following:
find . -print | cpio -pdumv /usr/local/pete
At this point, all file access to /usr/local/pete is actually to the
newly created partition. The above is an old remedy used by
administrators when file systems run out of space.

Greetings,
I thought that I would share this little piece of news with you
all, as I could not believe it myself. I am a Slackware user, and
recently decided to try Mandrake 7.1. I have noticed some bugs
but this one is just too much:
[anm@hawk ~] file /etc/passwd
/etc/passwd: ASCII test
ASCII test? I mean really. This, to me, is indicative of the haphazard
way in which RH/Mandrake is thrown together. There are of course other
bugs, too numerous to mention here.... This is very dissappointing, as
one would think that they test thier RPMs before distributing them.
Sadly, I guess this is not the case, and I am now reminded why I like
Slackware (or Debian) so much. Attention to detail.
[ Thank you for listening to my rant! ]
Regards,
anm

It's actually version 2.2.0. I've read the quick start and the faq.
No help for my problem. It should work but doesn't:
david@solo:> ssh apostrophe
warning: Development-time debugging not compiled in.
warning: To enable, configure with --enable-debug and recompile.
debug: connecting to apostrophe...

Disconnected; connection lost (Connection closed by remote host.).

In /etc/inetd.conf:

ssh stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/sshd2 -i
ssh dgram udp wait root /usr/local/sbin/sshd2 -i
david@apostrophe:~ > ls .ssh2/

id_dsa_1024_a identification solo.pub
david@solo:> ls .ssh2/
id_dsa_1024_a identification ssh2_config
id_dsa_1024_a.pub random_seed
solo.pub == id_dsa_1024_a.pub
This is driving me nuts!
