Introductions and volunteering
by Mike MacCana 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

Hey folks, I'm Mike *waves*. I work in Melbourne Australia, dividing my time between Red Hat Asia Pacific (I'm an RHCX) and tech journalism (I've been a professional writer for about four years now, having written on Linux for PCAuthority, the Sydney Morning Herald, and Next before finding myself at Australian Personal Computer). Before I got poached by Red Hat, I wrote and trained my own Red Hat based System Administration course. The course itself is Open Sourced (well, FDLed) and you can check out the last beta version (written for Red Hat 9) at http://www.cyber.com.au/users/mikem/training/lna4/notes/html. I own copyright to the course, and plunder some of the ideas (particularly chapter 6) for other projects in future. So yeah, being a geek, with communication skills, who uses a particular Linux distribution and writes / trains on that distro professionally, the Fedora docs project has seriously piqued my interest. There's very few high quality, up to date, task based documentation projects for Linux and I'd like to be a part of one I'd like to volunteer to create tutorials on Web Serving (using Apache HTTPd) and Mail Serving (using Postfix, Dovecot, and SpamAssassin) initially, and could probably handle File Serving (with VSFTPd / NFS / Samba), DHCP, and DNS too.

Hi, I just returned from my trip to India and was wondering about the current state of the Anaconda docs projects. I checked out the twiki page and everything looks very good. Have the docs been converted into docbook format? Thanks, Akbar

What document or tutorial needs help?
by Phil Labonte 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

Hi, I have installed Fedora and love it. I would like to contribute by writing some documentation. Either user guides or tutorials. I have checked out the documentation from the CVS server and now I would like to know what documentation needs attention. If you could let me know that would be great. Thanks.

hai in installed Fedora core 1 and configure LTSP clients on that. But one new feature that the fedora team included in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf is SCREEN SCRIPTS. I tried the screen scripts All are working fine shell;telnet;startx except the "rdesktop" I had given the SCREEN_01 = rdesktop 192.168.0.1 (which is a Terminal server supporting RDP) and SCREEN_02 = STARTX then after booting the clients I tried ctrl+alt+F1 I didn't get the rdesktop connetivity to Server (192.168.0.1) I am getting the following error: " Fatal Server Error: Server already active for display 0 It seems is no longer dispaly! Remove /tmp/.X0lock and start again" Then I removed the /tmp/.X0lock file . Still I am unable to get connectivity to RDP Server. I changed the Screen script from Screen01 to 04 and put rdesktop in one by one script still I am getting the above said error. Please help in this problem Thanks NAGARAJAN.C.H Senior Engineer FIRST SIGHT COMPUTING New Delhi http://www.firstsightcomputing.com http://www.1care.org E mail: nagaraj(a)1care.org chnagaraj(a)firstsightcomputing.com -------------------------------------------------------------

Anaconda Docs/RedHat Trademarks
by Andrew Lewis 17 Feb '04

17 Feb '04

One thing I would like to see provided by RedHat for the Anaconda customization guide is the location of all the RedHat trademarks in Fedora in need of removal, for use in modified distributions, so people can be sure not to accidentally invoke the wrath of the RedHat trademark lawyers.. -AL.

Hey, its a machine :-) It does what you say, not what you want :-) Yes, consistent is good. regards DaveP
