Hi (again, unashamedly), 'few' quick questions.
1) Under WinXX, you can share a particular partition or directory. How do I do that under Linux, esp when the rest of the pc's are running w2k? Do I have to set it up via samba? 2) Under WinXX, there's such a thing call "WORKGROUP", and that allows anyone to view the shared partitions/directories. How do I do that under Linux? Samba again? 3) Using command-line under bash, one can basically "trace", TAB, and a list of matching executables are shown, provided of course in the executables are in your path. I had added /usr/sbin in my .bash_profile, yet "trace" TAB doesn't shows up any matching executables. What's going on? 4) What's the name of the program that spits out random quotes whenever one logins? 5) How do I know if the nic is operating @ 10 or 100mbps? I've used 'ifconfig', seems like the nic is operating @ 10mbps, since RX bytes:10546363 (10.0 Mb). If that's the case, how do I change it to 100mbps? My nic does support 100mbps. :) 6) In my home directory, I've an executable 'dnetc', and would like to make a directory named 'dnetc' too, but mkdir complains /home/henry [henry@nsw henry]$ mkdir dnetc mkdir: `dnetc' exists but is not a directory [henry@nsw henry]$ So how do I accomplish creating a directory when there's a file with an exact name of the intended directory? 7) man ls states that the -A option will list everything except those . & .. yet... [henry@nsw BitchX]$ ls -A ~ .bash_history .bash_logout .bash_profile .bashrc bookmarks.html ... 8) How do I copy from a terminal and paste it onto any window program? Copying & Pasting is fine if I were to do it from a window to a window, using the normal CTRL + C, CTRL + V, respectively. Hope that doesn't take up too much of your time...
