fr8lover Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Originally posted by OMARNYCAKASW1 just like Redhat3 i couldnt figure out how to shutdown if i logout i goes back to the login in thats just how unix based systems work, if you login as say root or whatever and get to the prompt youre in the basic command line shell before you load up the pretty looking window manager. i havent fucked with that shit in years (i ran slack with the 2.0.30 kernal heh...redhat 5.2...etc)...so im a little rusty.

Dirty_habiT Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Search for some ebooks on basic linux use. O'reilly publishes some good ones. That's the only good way to learn Linux. As far as the firewall is concerned. IPChains is a good one that I can think of off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilush Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Whoa. Linux is crazy. I tired to work with it once and I just couldn’t get it. I’m so conditioned to work with widows its ridiculous. Although I do hear that linux is easier to use. It’s just different from what we are used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanity Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 actually the reason people use linux is because it's a lot more stable than windows (which is the reason osx is based on a linux kernal). my boy can play mp3s, chat on aim and irc and surf on a p133 that he got for 25 bucks (with a monitor) because he does it through linux command lines (it'd crash w/ xwin).

destroya Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 it's sad when you get linux, install it on a "box," and never use it, just showing it off to your irc friends for bragging rights . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_habiT Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Originally posted by When why is lindows not a good os? It's not that it's not good. The whole idea behind linux is a "roll your own" operating system. Lindows seems to be an OS aimed at those that don't know much about linux but want to try it. The fact of the matter is, you won't know much about the OS unless you go through the task of installing it. That *and* linux is supposed to be an open source *free* operating system. Lindows costs money. look here www.linuxiso.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misteraven Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 to shutdown, pull up your terminal app and type: shutdown now If you want to restart use the restart flag(-r): shutdown -r now Fuck the gui, what makes linux cool is the actual system, not it's underdeveloped user interface. For that go get yourself a mac and throw OS X 10.2+ on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly. The core of OSX is Darwin, a hardy subsystem based of FreeBSD Unix. Also Linux doesnt have a command line per say. Rather it includes an assoretment of (generally opensourced) shells that allow you to manipulate the kernal directly. The default shell varioes accross distribtuions, but generally pulls up Korn, Bourne or Bourne Again shells. Either way, you can install more shells, switch them, or just use whatever's there considering shells share most of their basic commands, and most differences are only relevant when programming shell commands.
