Be A Registered Linux User

zenarcher
I'm probably the last person to find out about this, but I thought it was interesting, so I'll pass it along. There's a website, called, The Linux Counter, where you can register as a Linux user and also register the information about your system.

Secure File Deletion

zenarcher
Maybe I'm looking for something that's not needed. But, I've done a bit of searching and not come up with any sort of application of this nature. I'm wondering if there is any sort of secure file shredder in Linux.

GRUB Problems

GiB
Hey everybody. I'm a first time linux user trying to setup a dual boot system between XP Pro and FC3. I originally had XP Pro installed on my main drive (C:), i have a slave on that ide chain, and then I just installed an older 20gb drive I had laying around so I could put FC3 on it (all are ATA interfaces).

Anyone Familiar With SUSE LVM?

zenarcher
I have been using Mandrake(Mandriva) for the past three versions. I am currently using Mandriva 2005LE. I am now preparing to install SUSE 9. 3 Professional, replacing Mandriva, as from what I've read, I can accomplish my goal in an easier manner with SUSE.

Can't start X - Absolute newbie to Linux

conradwoo
Hi! I just finished installing Mandrake 10. 1 and I restarted and typed in 'startx' hoping to see a nice gui startup. Well, that didn't happen. Instead, I got an error like Fatal Server Error: No screens found.

Wine problem

iamroot
There are some apps that I want to install with Wine but it involves changing the Windows-version that Wine is imitating. I have no idea how to do this. I've read that it involves editing /home/username/.
