HowTo recover from a corrupt rpm database

http://linuxsysadminblog.com

RedHat based systems (rhel/fedora/centos) use rpm/yum to install and upgrade packages. If the rpm database gets corrupted in some way it will break all the functionality of rpm and other tools that rely on it like yum for example.
This post will show how to rebuild your rpm database and bring back to life your rpm command.

There is no L in Sun’s LAMP

http://blogs.the451group.com

Yesterday Sun introduced Glassfish Portfolio. Its a new stack of open source middleware products including Glassfish Enterprise Server, Glassfish ESB, Glassfish Web Space Server, and the new Glassfish Web Stack, which includes support for projects such as Tomcat, Memcached, Apache, PHP, Ruby and Python and a copy of MySQL Community.

It’s a pretty complete infrastructure stack. What it is not, however, is an integrated LAMP stack, despite Sun’s reference to it as such not once but twice on its press announcement.

Is Linux Cheaper on the Desktop Than Windows?

http://www.serverwatch.com

No, this isn't another rant about how you should convert to Linux because it's free, although it is free. Free is a four-letter word among those who scoff at the mere mention of Linux. Yes, Linux is free, but that doesn't give it an unfair advantage on the desktop because most computers arrive preloaded with Windows — so to the buyer it appears Windows is also free.

installation of linux on the toshiba satellite l300

http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk

Installation of ubuntu linux 8.04 on the toshiba l300 a howto:

This is a log of my efforts to get Linux going on my shiny (and cheap) L300. I kept this log because I wished someone else had put one on their website when I was installing ubuntu myself.

update:

ubuntu linux 8.10 seems to have better support for this laptop, and it is also possible to get the wireless working.

update:

The Toshiba Sattelite has been reported as running Suse Linux 10.3 without any major problems.

installation of fedora linux 10 on lenovo thinkpad t400

http://adobroonline.com

Howto install fedora Linux on a lenovo thinkpad t400:

As you may have read earlier, I mentioned that I was excited to get Fedora 10 up and running on my Lenovo T400 laptop. This has proved a lot more difficult than I previously imagined. I actually discovered more problems and inconveniences that I didn’t intend on dealing with. I am going to put a list of these frustrations and how I solved them (most of them anyways).

status of linux on the asus F3Jp

http://forum.notebookreview.com

I've been using this with linux for 2 years now a great laptop, and very nice with Linux.
This is a guide to running Linux with the Asus F3Jp laptop. This laptop has excellent Support for Linux.

This will be a short account of what to expect from Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft with this laptop. I intend to write a full account when have everything working.
My Asus which I bought on saturday, came with Vista preinstalled. To make room
for Ubuntu I shrunk Vista partition by using Vista built-in tools. Ubuntu install was pretty

linux vs windows: Fatal Windows 7 Flaw Will Bolster Linux Netbooks

http://www.workswithu.com

First, let me point out that I think Microsoft has done a reasonably good job developing Windows 7. Most early buzz about the operating system was positive. But when it comes to running Windows 7 on netbooks, Microsoft has made a fatal design decision that will open the door for more Linux netbooks. Skeptical? Consider the evidence.

linux vs windows: Is Microsoft out to kill, rather than conquer netbooks?

http://www.raiden.net

article about the strategy one might suspect microsoft to be following
from the site:
"This is a blatant and arrogant slap to the face for netbook users. With it's three application limit, Windows 7 Starter Edition is more or less Microsoft's way of saying that netbooks are substandard PC's, and their users are substandard people only interested in a cheap product, and not the "more powerful" (read more expensive) hardware you should be using."

Ubuntu 8.10 and ZTE MF628 hsdpa modem

http://www.accelerate.org

using ZTE MF628 hsdpa modem with ubuntu 8.10, this tutorial describes how to have the modem identify itself as a modem instead of a usb device.
"the ZTE MF628 does not present itself as a GSM modem in Ubuntu 8.10. In fact, it identifies itself as an unknown USB device which requires a USB mode switch to make it present itself as a GSM modem so that Ubuntu will be able to auto-configure it. "

Canon EOS 400D and Linux

http://kstars.wordpress.com

using the canon 400d digital camera with linux:
I was all excited when my new Canon EOS 400D landed in my hands today. I think that it’s a great piece of equipment, although I haven’t yet played around with it enough.

I thought I needed to buy a separate cable to computer-control it, and the USB cable was only a data transfer cable.

great linux tool to recover files and lost images on damaged hard disks

http://www.cgsecurity.org

This is the tool you need if your family photo's are only on your damaged hard disk. It really does a great job recovering lost and damaged images.
PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from Hard Disks and CDRom and lost pictures (thus, its 'Photo Recovery' name) from digital camera memory. PhotoRec ignores the filesystem and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your media's filesystem has been severely damaged or re-formatted.

ubuntu vs windows a comparison test

http://www.tuxradar.com

These guys have tested ubuntu vs windows vista and ubuntu vs windows 7 for performance, from the site:

In depth: A lot of people have been chattering about the improvements Windows 7 brings for Windows users, but how does it compare to Ubuntu in real-world tests? We put Ubuntu 8.10, Windows Vista and Windows 7 through their paces in both 32-bit and 64-bit tests to see just how well Ubuntu faces the new contender. And, just for luck, we threw in a few tests using Jaunty Jackalope with ext4.
