one thing that i need to learn really on linux is the CHMOD rules
and the number format

like really its not that hard
but when you come from a windows fully background like ... for 14 + yrs ( i started at the age of 5 ) only to start with
its a tab hard to learn the CHMOD rules

well if you use them day in n day out
than you will be fine
but i dont
i only use them once in a while to set access rights on to something i compiled
like htop / other tools i got from source

so heres a link to a PDF file that Mr craz1 done for me ,..... well to help me out a tab
Download here about 80 KB
heres a plug for him

openSuse ver 10.2

system : 
 CORE / HOST system 
  AMD 64 bit Sempron 2600+( 1.6 Ghz )
  windows XP pro  SP2 ( 32 bit OS )
  1 GB DDR 400 MHz ram 
  80 GB hdd : 
  17 GB hdd FAT32 C:\
  57.2 GB NTFS d:\ ( where Vmware files for openSuse live )

( i use fat32 on c:\ due to the fact i can image off
the drive with easy ..  i found doing NTFS was too hard
to image off at times .. and it would f**k up badly
.... and i would not know about it to i went to reload
the image ... and it would not work :) )

 VMWARE / opensuse 10.2
  41 GB HDD
  256 ram
  network : 
  CD : ISO file 
  KDE desktop
  and gnome ( i think its installed )


what can i say 

The desktop :
ok its a tab .. odd to look at the desktop and work
out  to being with when you come from a FC and gnome
background in Linux

but its nice 
slick .. and simple and clean

i found it hard to get my head around it for 20 mins
like i hard due to there is no like start menu 
just “ computer “ where its got the start menu 

so its was just odd ... 
but once i found it and work out to find the appz and
everything in there it was nice and easy

but one of the things that blow me away 
that it had my Tv tuner cards i got 
like my old analog card :
pinnacle PCTV stereo (saa7134) card : worked

digital / analog  card :
compro videomate DVB-t200/300   : analog side only

a cannon Sp200 printer (USB) : hardware found
can't test : printer being a SOB

NetComm NB1200  (USB) : hardware found :
cant test it to download is done in about 9 hrs :  

olympus digital cam : hardware found : as data drive : working 


i will be happy for once a linux OS out there that can
handle half of my windows hardware
that no other linux i know of that can work with it 
like my USB modem / printer 

the digital cam / tv tuner cards have always worked in a way 




yast  : setup  run as root user




Yast : control center 
i found it was a better layout than the redhat
setup layout its gave you more control over what
you can do ... which is good if you doing the pc

setup via remote and you dont want
to do a lot of work by finding the files and
than eiditing them ... or what else there is to do .. 

fun n games on Opensuse 10.2

i went to change the bootscreen / spalsh logo
and totaly and fucked up the system
it was a dog to restart the OS
....
luckly for me i had a copy of the old bootsplash image folder
so i could copy / move back over to the one i fucked up
now i did that its working well again
but hell .. :( its suxs that i cant change the bootimage yet
but im sure i will work it out sooner or later
and keep on google for tips from other OpenSuse users out there
on how to do this
:)

i still like how its goes
its nice and slick .. and thats unreal
now i gotta see how its handles a PWS workload i will put on it
Apache /Php /Mysql
i got about 8 Vhost sites i run inside my network
one of them is a Database : for movies : tv : and IPTV / audio : shows
the movie one is a killer of a workload due to the amount of info per item its displays
over the other 2 DB



and im going to get hated for his
im went back to windows : OMFG! :
lol

ok .. i only installed the opensuse on a real box to test it out to see what
hardware of mine it pick up / support
and it did a good job
pick up the two old tv tuner card , my printer ,
without a problem ... and the compro videomate remote control but it didn't like
the card to well
it only pick up the angolog side of things :( thats suxs ass


ok why im back on windows :
i got like 300 gb of data on my windows hdd i want off first
and i need it to do some testing n other jump first
maybe ... just maybe i found my new OS i like :)
