XE - Linux Suggestions ?

k... so I've read the install docs and related articles.
Anybody got any suggestions about what version of Linux I might want to install? And what a minimun development environment would be, I know XE wants 512mb memory min, but I find it is happier if it has at least 1GB on XP Pro.
I want to build a personal server @ home that I can use to increase my knowledgebase, and use as an offsite development environment for XE. Oh ya, I have fussed with Linux before, eg: done my own desktop installs, and I'm an old DOS weenie from the days of structured code.
Are there any issues I want to know about installing Apache and XE side-by-each? Cause I also want to work with Ruby & Rails & MySquirrel too (...you know, that other DB ...LOL) ...and "ideally" Ruby & Oracle.
Anything I could read, like blogs, etc would be kool, as the articles and docs that I've found on the subject (so far) seem a bit thin on the subject.

Given your specs, this should be enough for a demo installation. For "production" (my blog) I use a root server I've got access to, those are the specs:
"old" Athlon 64 XP 3700+, 2GB RAM, 2x250GB SATA drives mirrored (SoftRAID), O/S: gentoo,cpufreqd active, setting the cpu to 1GHz.
PGA and SGA target are set to 256 MB, Oracle LVM partition is 10GB (daily RMAN compressed full backup, retention period 7 days, almost 5GB free) and
C.

  • Debian Linux suggestions for Satellite M60-135

    Hi there,
    I'd like to have a running Debian Linux system as a primary OS on my M60-135.
    Until now I've tried several Live CDs and DVDs:
    - Debian 4 itself
    - Knoppix up to 5.2
    - Kanotix 2006
    - Sidux Chaos
    - Ubuntu and Kubuntu (both 6.10)
    - Linux Mint 2.2
    Also:
    - Fedora Core 6
    - Mandriva free 2007
    None of them work due to difficulties with the X server.
    The ATI graphics chip obviously doesn't work.
    The setup continues properly - even up to the starting sounds of the OS - yet the screen stays black.
    Therefore no way to enter the console, edit files or whatever.
    Now my reply:
    Did anyone manage to get a Debian system running on such a machine an if so - HOW?
    Please keep in mind that I'm a Linux newbie and that I for those reasons would be glad for rather "visible" explanations ;-)
    By the way:
    Opensuse 10.2 recognizes the graphics adapter correctly and boots up to a visible screen.
    What's different here?
    Nonetheless will Suse not be my way of Linux ...
    Thanks for any ideas!

    Hi,
    the thing is that linux is not running perfectly on EVERY system, so if you want to begin with linux then use a distribution which works out of the box.
    So, it doesnt matter which distribution you use, if you are a newbie then begin with suse. Its the perfect distro to begin, and after a while of practice you will get more experience and you would be able to configure your system if something fails.
    Its just a matter of time which distro you will use, but dont overburden yourself with dists like fedora, gentoo or something else.
    Try it with suse and make your way. :)
    Greets and good luck

  • CAM switch between uttsc, Unix, Linux servers?

    Suppose you had some of each:
    Windows Terminal servers
    Solaris Sun Ray servers
    Linux Sun Ray servers
    ...and wanted to present a choice to users at the dtu startup screen, before login (e.g., with CAM), as to which system they wanted to connect to initially. Is it possible?
    I'm in a university environment and want to give easy access to each of those operating environments without the Windows user having to know how to navigate a Unix/Linux environment, even briefly, and vice-versa.
    For our purposes this sort of simple universal terminal configuration would be ideal.
    Thanks for any ideas, hints, etc.

    Hi ErikEJ. 
    I made a design decision several years ago to avoid using SQL Server Express for this project because it requires either a network connection or local instance of SQL Server to be running on a desktop platform which in many cases is resource-constrained. 
    SQL Server Compact was perfect for this application because the database engine could be entirely contained within the application without client/server overhead.
    Thanks for the ODBC under Linux suggestion, but I presume that this also would require client/server connection to an ASP server instance somewhere. 
    I think it would be simpler to just use an ASP host environment directly where SQL Server Compact, SQL Server, .net, and all the custom utilities I have developed for this application could be hosted with hopefully minimal modification.
    Thanks for your input.

  • Give me some ideas for the project.

    Hi,folks
    I am not familiar with programming in web services. Now i have a project related to web services need to finish. I want to someone give me some ideas for the project. how can i implement the access control services. is there anyone can give me some related links for me to learn.
    Project Title: Implementing an access control service
    Project Description:
    Web services are emerging as a new approach to system construction and will make a major impact on the engineering of future business systems. They will allow a move from enterprise to inter-enterprise computing. However, with inter-enterprise computing, there are major problems with providing access to shared data, given that enterprises will not wish to share all data with partners.
    This project aims to investigate this problem by developing a prototype of an access control service that will help decide whether or not data access should be permitted. In essence, companies will outsource their access control to this service and so will not need to maintain their own access control lists for a potentially rapidly changing set of users.
    Suggested Platform: Windows or Linux
    Suggested Languages & Tools: Java

    Well, the approach I've come accross is a central server which is typically accessed indirectly from the web servers (e.g. through SOAP protocol or RMI).
    The remote server sends a user id and a password (or more likely a digest of the password), and receives a session token, basically just a random string of characters which is checked with the central server each time a secure transaction is attempted. The token will be stored in a session object, or perhaps directly in a cookie or in the URLs.
    Active session tokens are stored on the central server for comparison. This means the password doesn't have to be retained in the server.
    It's possible for the session token to be transfered if the user switches from one site to another on the same authentication server.
    Sun distributes one of these beasties, by the way, so you could take a look at their product specs.

  • How can I make xterm show Unicode chars other than Latin and lines?

    I'm trying to get my terminal (xterm) to show more Unicode characters. The UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux suggests that xterm can display quite a wide set, but I'm not seeing that.
    I have the locale resource set to true as suggested in the wiki (and I have used xrdb to load the new resources, but it was actually set already before I logged in).
    I've also made sure to use a font that has those characters. Here you can see a screenshot of vim and gvim showing the same file with the same font.

    It's most likely your selection of fonts doesn't include the glyphs.  For xft (TrueType) I use DejaVu Sans Mono to balance glyph coverage with legibility and I use WenQuanYi Bitmap Song for the double wide characters.
    xterm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book:antialias=false
    xterm*faceNameDoublesize: WenQuanYi Bitmap Song
    xterm*faceSize: 8
    ! Fix for DJVSM low-hanging underscore, adds line spacing:
    xterm*scaleHeight: 1.01
    The default XLFD font, aliased to "fixed", has very good glyph coverage.  You can probably switch to it with xterm's Ctrl-Right_Click menu: uncheck 'TrueType Fonts' and make sure Default is checked.  Or start a new xterm instance from the command line:
    $ xterm -xrm "*renderFont: false" &
    The default fonts for xterm are all XLFD.  You can view the system defaults in '/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm'.  The defaults may be overwritten by your user's X resources configuration.
    Edit: fixed missing space in code.

    SergioVERY NICE! I keep reading about "oracle validated" installation, but always in some generic sense. This is the first I've seen it spelled out that it is a single yum download.
    What version of oracle is this validated for? 10.x ? 11.x?
    Now I can update/simplify the scripts I use for building vm machines in my personal sandbox.

  • Linux - OS X dual boot/encryption/shared partition suggestions?

    Hi,
    I've been wanting to encrypt my hard drive for a while and have a MacBook. Currently I have the following setup:
    - sda1: GUID partition table
    - sda2: OS X (~60GB)
    - sda3: Arch (~15GB)
    I mount my OS X partition using HFS+ (non-journaled) and keep everything in the OS X partition except for temp stuff on Linux (downloads I don't care about, various documents I might be working on but will eventually delete or move to OS X). This way, I have one repo for all my files. I use rsync to backup my Arch home dir to OS X and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup OS X to an external hard drive.
    Now I'd like to do some encryption... but am not really sure how. Here's two scenarios I've considered after reading a bunch. Thoughts?
    --- Option 1 ---
    - sda1: GUID partition table
    - sda2: HFS+ volume for OS X
    --- TrueCrypt volume to be created and mounted at /home
    - sda3: /boot for Linux
    - sda4: Linux with dm-crypt/LUKS
    --- just / (no LVM making separate partitions)
    --- mount the OS X TrueCrypt volume for filesharing between OSs
    Notes: I don't like this for a couple of reasons.
    - I have to kind of guess at how much OS X will accumulate over time and make my TC volume for /home accordingly. If I ever run into issues... I'll have to backup, delete, make a new and larger TC volume and then copy it all over
    --- Option 2 ---
    - sda1: GUID partition table
    - sda2: OS X
    --- FireVault used on /home
    - sda3: /boot for Linux
    - sda4: Linux with dm-crypt/LUKS
    --- take the plunge and just start keeping all my files on Linux instead of OS X (everything used to be on OS X and I'd just mount the HFS+ drive in Linux to access things)
    --- perhaps create a TC volume file that can be used to share files between partitions via the OS X /Shared directory?
    Notes: I like this better. Everything is encrypted and thus I can just estimate like 15-20GB for OS X and only keep OS X specific files there (iWork, i* files, etc.) and then make the rest of the disk available for Linux. Since dm-crypt can be used for the whole Linux partition I can let everything (/usr, /var, /home) grow however it wants and not worry about my bad partition size/TC container size predictions.
    Remaining issues/questions:
    - Still bummed that I can't just keep everything on one OS or the other and share unless I go the TrueCrypt container for OS X home route. I really like that feature now as, essentially, my Linux /home folder right now is just for .configs and temp... everything I actually care about is only in one place. I don't like the idea of having to "merge" two sets of documents I really care about and make the dir hierarchy work...
    - Unanswered question remains of whether I can mount logical volumes on both OSs. If I have a logical HFS+ volume in an extended partition, can Linux mount that and vice versa (assuming the filesystem is readable by both, that is)?
    - How others get around the issue of making partition size predictions when creating separate partitions for /home vs. /, /usr, etc.
    - What partitions are nice to have on their own (besides /home)?
    Any thoughts? Am I best just going with TrueCrypt? I've read a lot of people who vote against it due to the license, though I'm not clear on why exactly... just not "totally" open-source? For this reason, I guess I'm leaning toward the second option since I can use standard tools on each. I don't think that plausible deniability is a huge deal for me... though perhaps that could be seen as another advantage of TC? I'll shut up now. Serious thanks for any suggestions... I can't find hardly anything on OS X/Linux dual booting and the use of encryption.

    appreacite for your help.
    Thanks
    Jay.

    Hi Jay,
    You can use Xming server for linux. I have downloaded Xming server 6.9.0.31. It worked well with Windows XP(32 bit) as well as Windows 7(32 bit). I have used it for Oracle HTTP Server installation and OBIEE 11g installation
    After installing, to start Xming go to command prompt and start. This invokes the Xming application properly when compared to double click starting.Go to cmd. Go to location C:\Program Files\Xming Enter this
    Xming.exe :0 -clipboard -multiwindow -ac.
    Note: colon zero ended up in a smiley!
    You will see Xming popup in your right side. Go to putty session and export your display with this command.
    export DISPLAY=172.45.62.143:0.0
    Replace the ip address with your system ip address. The above one is example.
    Note: If your putty session is in client network, use the ip address that is in Ethernet: client server.
    Test if display is exported properly with this clock command which gives a GUI popup of clock.
    xclock &
    Hope this helps.

  • Suggestion for linux system?

    Hello guys,
    i think sure becasue it has problem about deb and rpm files when you use OpenSuse and i am using on Ubuntu. It is not possible when GNU/Linux convert to current package file = Problem with security like creficate crashes.
    Please do not convert with alias! I think better becasue we use any Linux System like any Pengiuns will install and share with *.bin, *.run or *.bundle File.
    Example:
    I have been generated this package for Adobe Air Application like this MyAppInstaller.deb than any user will to install deb on OpenSuse. It is a bad way.
    When any user will hack with alias with conversion and MyAppInstaller.rpm can not install because it is worng end of coding. That is a bad result.
    Now i know becasue any linux users will to important 3 file binaries like *.bin, *.run and *.bundle. 3 binary packages will to open simple for any Linux System. like you are using OpenSuse 14.x or Ferdora 12.x and i am using Ubuntu 10.x or Debian 6.x = It is a nice result with important binary packagers.
    I hope you because Adobe AIr 2.8 will to improve and update and supports any Linux Distributed System ( Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Ferdora and Arch Linux and more unknown linux systems... )
    Please fix "adl" because i am trying on shell. It can not work because binary is worng and unknown.
    Thanks for suggestions!
    Regards Jens E.

    I do understand that hardware might play a role on compability on the system, but at this moment I'm just trying to shortlist some OS recommendations.Use OEL - Oracle Enterprise Linux.
    No single o/s is that much better than another, that it alone serves as the differentiator for choosing A over B. Usually it is a combination of issues, like network technology used, storage technology used, application technology used, existing infrastructure, budgetary constraints, corporate IT strategy and so, that drives the o/s decision.
    But when looking at a Linux specifically as the chosen o/s, and deciding on which distro, those issues have already been factored into the o/s decision.
    So one needs to look at other factors - like support for example (a critical one IMO).
    Using OEL means that you have now the same vendor responsible for both you o/s s/w layer and db s/w layer. This makes it a lot easier on your part when dealing with complex errors that are not easily isolated (at first) to the o/s or to the db - and then having to deal with different vendors, deal with different support methodologies used by them, and having to play the go-between. (been there, done that - very unpleasant experience)
    Other motivating factors - OEL is basically RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) from Oracle. RHEL is one of the most widely used and popular Linux server distros. It is well supported by the Open Source community and by commercial vendors.
    Now if you were going to run Apache or JBOSS or something else than Oracle.. then OEL makes less sense. But add Oracle to the mix, and IMO, OEL should be the first consideration of distro to use.

    Your first task will probably be to decide on a Linux distribution and and also determine if you have enough hardware resources. Then install the OS and see further. There are many tutorials and Linux lessons available for free on the Internet.
    If you are familiar with windows and need it for your day to day work, save yourself from very frustrating experiences and do not erase your hard drive or bother with dual boot, like it was done 10 years ago. Look into setting up Virtualbox first http://www.virtualbox.org. It will allow you to run any distribution of Linux without jeopardizing your primary operating system. It will give you all the flexibility you will need to install or reinstall and learn Linux whenever you have time.

  • Linux - 32bit slow + segfaults any suggestions?  (64bit worked fine...)

    Hi
    Since changing to the 32bit Linux flash plugin (as you have stopped the 64bit beta for the time being) I have noticed that full screen video is far slower than using the 64bit one - watching live streams in iplayer is unacceptable ...
    I have to say that on my machine the 32bit of flash is slightly buggy even on a fully 32bit Linux distro.
    The 64bit version worked pretty much all the time and the video was so much faster - in fact I do not remember a crash since the last update in February  and I was very happy with the performance.
    I suggest that adobe allow 64bit users access to the latest beta/alpha as it is bound to be better than the alternative.
    Until that occurs does anyone have ANY ideas/performance tips - this occurs on 3 different distros so it not related to 1 distro.
    An an example I am getting these messages in dmesg (in Ubuntu 10.04 amd64)
    [ 2421.654074] npviewer.bin[1870]: segfault at 418 ip 00000000f60f4a56 sp 00000000ffd22308 error 6 in libflashplayer.so[f5ea6000+b04000]

    Thanks ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ,
    I went to the link you provided and found a similar poster so I have added my 2 cents there as well. I installed the 64 bit alpha and most of the high quality stuff works fine but education stuff (mostly simple low quality videos) do not work. Here is a link to the post I found that has the same issue I have in case anyone is looking to solve issues on education sites with linux and adobe flash. http://forums.adobe.com/message/3250461#3250461
