That "Cluster install" is a matter of the distro. Its very hard to install SuSE
for example on less than 2GB. RedHat is more flexible, but you still have to
go through a individual packages selection.
In my opinion:
- Debian provides the leanest system. Using GNOME-APT,
is very comfortable to wipe out the "remaining" useless stuff. an
upgrading online the interesting packages.
- Gnome (On Debian!) has very few but mainly "good working" apps.
KDE isn't supported very well on Debian, but the original packages from
KDE are allready filled up with "Krap". There is no way to choose
individual apps. I really dislike that. I installed KDE from KDE sites DEB
packages, and it really sucks. REDHat and SuSE semes to behave
better with KDE.
You may disagree. This just my own conclusion after 2 years of Linux
using/hacking.
bye.

True. But it's a good practice not to leave anything to default, is

I'd like to add that for most administration task of sendmail and
samba there are a few packages out there that provide a web based
interface. Samba has it's own web based admin package. In addition
webmin is an excellent package for most other admin tasks. The remote
administration is definitely a big plus for Linux.

Hello;
I am running Red Hat Linux 6.2 and Apache. I can get the test page to come
up using linx on the linux box, but Apache will not serve other boxes. I
can telnet, ftp, etc to other boxes, but Apache will not even answer other
machines.
Apache is up, and I can telnet to port 80 on the linux box.
When I hit the linux box with another browser (like IE or Netscape), it
simply does not respond. No log file entries either.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

A couple of nikpicks:
/root = 500MB, I asumme you mean '/' ,the root directory,
as opposed to /root which is the home directory of the
user 'root'. Nothing for /usr/local and/or /boot??

You can also use the Properties option of the virtual terminal window. Drilling
down you'll find options for colors &c, including black on white, white on black,
and custom colors.
Changing it for one such window makes that the default configuration for all new
windows (for that user).

Subject: gcc question
I'm running into a problem with gcc.
I'm compiling a set of stats tools I wrote many years ago in C. These
were written on a SPARC-station, but have since been ported to many
different Unix machines, and a few DOS machines (running MKS Tools ksh).
Now on Linux they compile without error, but produce junk. In debugging,
it looks like the I/O is scrambled. I'm wondering if I should be using
an alternative to stdio.h, or including a different library (I'm using
the -lm switch).
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

seems ok, although depends on how you are using your system. i would
suggest to increase the /home partition or create another one. this is
how it works for me:
- relative small /root (max 300mb)
- /swap = 128mb
- /usr = �3gb
- /home = 1.5gb
- rest is /incoming
and my drive is 13gb large.
i log in as a normal user (never root! --> use su) so i have my /home
dir available to experiment, to store scripts and temporarily downloads.
i use the /incoming for everything i downloaded and i want to keep
permanently (until backup).
/incoming being a separate partition, my data is safe when i want to
upgrade the os or try a different distribution.
this is how it works for me; however, also experiment on your own and
find your best solution, that's the best part about linux...

You CANNOT have too much /usr ... you can have too little of something
else though :-) Unless there's a definite reason I always try and stick
to one big partition, then you don't get worried about which partition
your free space is on. (This is assuming it's a personal machine
