Slax Linux 5.1.8

2008-10-28T00:17:00.000-07:00

SLAX is fast and beautiful Linux operating system which fits on small (3.14") CD-ROM disc. It runs directly from the CD (or USB) without installing. The Live CD described here is based on the Slackware Linux distribution and uses Unification File System (also known as unionfs), allowing read-only filesystem to behave as a writable one, saving all changes to memory.

Imagine the ability to boot your favorite Linux distribution whether you are at home, at school, or at work. Imagine walking on the street and carrying the only thing you needed in life - the 8cm compact disk with your Live Linux CD.
When your computer boots from the LiveCD, the first step is loading the kernel image (vmlinuz). After this, a 4 MB ramdisk is created in the computer's RAM. The rootdisk image (initrd.gz) is then unpacked into it and mounted as a root filesystem. Large directories (like /usr) are mounted directly from the CDROM.

SLAX CD contains:
· Linux Kernel 2.4.28-pre4 with SATA support
· X.org 6.8.1
· KDE 3.3.1
· KOffice 1.3.3
· KDE games
· MPlayer 1.0pre5 with KPlayer
· kopete ICQ/AIM/Y!/IRC
· midnight commander
· rdesktop (rscp in KDE)
· hotplug support
· cdrtools
· k3b burning GUI for KDE
· mutt email client
· wget
· and much more...

The primary goal of SLAX is to provide a wide collection of useful software while keeping the cd's image small enough to be written to a 195 MB CD-R(W) medium (small 8 cm CD). SLAX boots directly from the CD or USB devices and it provides a full featured Linux operating system.
All your available partitions and data storage devices (CD-ROM, USB storage devices, etc.) should be recognized at boot and should be mounted to /mnt/xx. As an example, "disc0part1" may be assigned to the first partition on your primary hard drive, "disc1part1" for your USB storage device, or "cdrom0" for your CD-ROM drive. SLAX will never write anything to the mounted devices. Mounting is safe and does not change the data.

After booting, you should be able to login as a "root", with the password "toor"; both without quotes, of course.

When logged in, you have many options. At the shell prompt, you may start Midnight Commander (type "mc" to the console), play some music from your hard drive (type "play /mnt/path/file.mp3"), adjust your audio volume (type "alsamixer"), configure IP address (type "netconfig") or browse web pages with the text-based browser (type "lynx http://url").

To start the graphical environment included with SLAX, type "gui" (for graphical user interface). It will attempt to autoconfigure your graphics card, monitor, keyboard and mice, and if successful it will run an X session with KDE. I'm pretty sure that you will know how to get around at this point. :-) Use "guisafe" instead of "gui" for safe-mode (VESA framebuffer) without autodetection.

In the unfortunate case your mouse doesn't work, try to move it for a few seconds to see if it will be autodetected. If it isn't, shut down Xwindow (press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) and start it again. If this won't help then you are using something I have not included in the autoconfiguration process (COM2 mouse?). If you are comfortable with bash, or you atleast understand how to make your favorite mouse function under Linux, try to modify the symbolic link /dev/mouse manually.

If you don't like the autoconfigured screen resolution, refresh rate, or the K Desktop Environment, start "gui" with some additional options. Try for example "gui 800x600 60", where 800x600 is the desired screen resolution and 60 is the desired refresh rate. Fluxbox is one of the other window managers included and may be called with "guifast" or "gui fluxbox". In any event, type "gui --help" for more information.

All scripts and source code are available and can be used to build your own Live CD.

SLAX is available as an ISO image of the CD. It fits on small 8cm CD-R(W). Burn it with your favorite cd-writing software and then boot from the CD.

You might want to check your BIOS to assure it's set to boot the CD prior the disc.

Changes in version 5.1.8, (9th of October 2006) :
- added KDE 3.5.4 with Slackware 11 fixes for media:/ URL in konqueror
- probeusb parameter now sleeps delay_use+1 seconds to wait for USB devices
- (this usually defaults to 6 seconds)
- fixed fuse libraries, which were missing in rc1 version
- added newest NTFS-3g beta version, NTFS writing now works, I hope

Pro Oracle Database RAC on Linux

2008-10-27T13:35:00.000-07:00

Real Application Clusters (RAC) and the Grid architecture are Oracle's strategy for scaling out enterprise systems to cope with bigger workloads and more users. Many books limit themselves by conceptualizing and theorizing about RAC technology, but this book is the first to portray implementing and administering an Oracle 10g RAC system in a Linux environment. This book features basic concepts underlying Linux and Oracle RAC, design strategies, hardware procurement and configuration, and many other topics.

The RAC-specific technologies described include configuration of the interconnect, OCFS, ASM, Cluster Ready Services, and Grid Control. The Oracle features RMAN and Data Guard are also discussed, along with available hardware options. The authors include practical examples and configuration information, so that upon reading this book, you’ll be armed with the information you need to build an Oracle RAC database on Linux, whether it is on a single laptop or a 64-node Itanium cluster.

Linux Security

2008-10-27T13:31:00.001-07:00

Library of Congress Cataloging | English | ISBN-1-931841-99-3 | Oct-2002 | PDF | 3.24 MB | 513 pages

Introduction

This book provides you with comprehensive knowledge about Linux Security. The book is aimed at readers who are familiar with Linux concepts but now want to gain a solid foundation in Linux security features. It is assumed these readers already understand some Linux and networking concepts, such as network protocols, network servers, and so on. This book contains detailed information to help you fortify your Linux environment and provides questions that enable you to check your understanding at the end of key chapters. Chapters 1 through 5 cover security basics in the Linux environment. These chapters give you an overview of Linux security, covering the precautions to be taken while installing and administering Linux. This part of the book also gives you an overview of the various authentication and encryption techniques you can use to protect your data. Chapters 6 through 9 deal with securing networks in the Linux environment.

Various kinds of possible network attacks are discussed in this part of the book, and you are given guidelines for preventing these attacks. Securing network serversâ€”such as Apache Web server, FTP server, Sendmail, DNS, and SAMBAâ€”is the core of this second part of the book. Chapters 10 through 13 focus on preventing intrusion and data recovery. In these chapters, you are provided with an extensive list of signs of intrusions. You will learn to use various tools and security utilities to detect and avoid intrusion. Maintaining logs regularly is a good practice for system administrators. Logs can give you indications of methods used to attack your system, and at times, you can get information about the attacker as well. Chapter 12, â€œSystem Logs,â€ educates you about using logs. In the last chapter of the book, I discuss the importance of making backups. Youâ€™ll realize how important backups are if you ever lose data due to system crashes or other reasons. Various commercial and non-commercial tools that you can use to maintain backups are discussed in this chapter.Finally, this book also includes several appendices. The appendices include best Linux practices and FAQs for Linux security. An appendix on the future of Linux also is included at the end of the book.

Advanced Linux Programming

2008-10-14T16:08:00.000-07:00

Advanced Linux Programming An in-depth guide to programming Linux from the most recognised leaders in the Open Surce community.

Written by recognized leaders in the open source community! Learn what theyve learned from working with well-known groups like Advanced Computing Laboratory of Los Alamos National Laboratory and the GCC Open Source Group.

Author Mark Mitchell is the award-winning lead developer and manager for the GCC 3.0 release (the compiler used when programming with Linux). Learn the advanced aspects of Linux programming from the best.

The ultimate guide to creating, compiling, running, and debugging Linux code. Advanced Linux Programming brings the success of Code Sourcery, LLC to paper. Anyone who works with Linux regularly or who is looking to start working with Linux, knows who this company is and they rely on them for solutions. Mark and Alex bring to their readers the know-how theyve gained over the years. The book is divided into two parts. The first covers generic UNIX system services, but with a particular eye towards Linux specific information. This portion of the book will be of use even to advanced programmers who have worked with other Linux systems since it will cover Linux specific details and differences. For programmers without UNIX experience, it will be even more valuable. The second section covers material that is entirely Linux specific. These are truly advanced topics, and are the techniques that the gurus use to build great applications. This book is written for Linux programmers who are reasonably skilled in the C programming language and who are in need of a book that covers the Linux C library (glibc). The Web site includes all the code developed in the book and is a source of communication for readers of the book to speak directly to the authors.

Damn Small Linux 3.4 .ISO 2008

2008-10-13T06:33:00.000-07:00

Damn Small Linux 3.4 .ISO 2008

Damn Small Linux is small enough and smart enough to do the following things:* Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution (LiveCD)
* Boot from a USB pen drive
* Boot from within a host operating system (that's right, it can run *inside* Windows)
* Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"
* Transform into a Debian OS with a traditional hard drive install
* Run light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram
* Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how fast your computer can be!)
* Modularly grow -- DSL is highly extendable without the need to customize
