Back to home

This is my linux notebook, where I store bits about all of the things that I have gradually learned from using Linux on a daily basis. I maintain it so that I can keep the information at my fingertips so that if I ever need to do any of these things again, I can remember how. I am also posting it to help other people who are trying to figure out how to do the same things. The topics are organized by the computer that I learned the tip on. All of the notes are for Debian, since that is the distro I have the most experience with.

I had thought about making this a weblog, but I think that would be too confusing (both for me and for everyone else), because it would be cluttered with all of the things that I tried that didn't work out. This format is easiest for me to organize and keep coherent.

It is gradually evolving, because in addition to my constant attempts to try new things, I am also slowly converting all of the notes that I have kept on paper. I still have a lot of stuff to go through.



Ocelot

Ocelot is now my primary machine. It has the following specs:
Sony Vaio PCG-V505AX Laptop
1.8-GHz Pentium 4-M
768MB RAM
12.1" screen (1024x768)
16MB ATI Mobility Radeon graphics chipset
Netgear MA521 PCMCIA 802.11b Wifi card

I have the following notes for Ocelot:



Rokan

Rokan was my workhorse for many, many years. Obviously, it is quite a bit slower than the average computer these days. However, I picked it up refurbished at quite a discount, and it was the best money I ever spent. It has the following specs:
Toshiba Satellite 1805-S204 Laptop
1GHz Celeron
256 MB of RAM
13.3" screen (1024x768)
Trident CyberbladeXP video chipset
ALi M5451 sound chip
Use "eepro100" module for integrated 10/100 ethernet
Netgear MA401 PCMCIA 802.1b Wifi card

I have the following notes for Rokan:



S_serve

S_serve runs samba, and is used as a file server in a Windows NT4 Domain. It has the following specs:
Intel Celeron 500Mhz
Intel i810 chipset (onboard video and audio)
96MB PC100 SDRAM
40GB IBM Deskstar EIDE HDD
Netgear FA310TX 10/100Mb PCI network card
Netgear GA621 (National Semiconductors 10/100/1000Mb fiber optic network card)

I have the following notes for S_serve:



General Linux



Gripes

I have a lot of gripes about software in general. For now, all of my gripes are listed on one page. In the future, I imagine that I'll have to divide them into several different pages.




To Do
