Yes Linux is always open-sourced and free for download. But because these few people came to form RedHat company and put alot of effort in development, enhancing, troubleshooting and maintaining RedHat, they've decided to charge users for a fee to use their operating system. It's the kernel in RedHat that is free, which they got from the free community. But it's the effort that they put in that they decided to charge.
Besides RedHat, Linspire and Mandrake are also other Linux distributions that charge for usage. Mandrake however only charge it's subscribers for releasing the latest versions to them first before releasing into the public afew months later for free.
on one of my other servers i have installed ubauntu linux and i personmally think that its better than red hat linux because its faster and takes up leass space!!
For me, I prefer Linspire because it resembles well to Windows interface. It's also much sleekier for a Linux GUI as well.. Linspire includes a wizard-like installation procedure just like Windows, so you wouldn't have to type in commands to install a product like other Linux distributions..
This all started yesterday when I opened up Outlook express. It sat at the Send/Receive window for
a time then told me the server wasn't responding, and I could wait or stop. Upon stopping I got
this error: QUOTE A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Account:
'mail.yourlink.ca', Server: 'mail.yourlink.ca', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19 Now I've just switched to this ISP, and figured
that maybe it was a problem on their side, and I'd let the problem wait a while. Later that da....
Well I have been trying to run my own TS server off my computer for a couple days now. It was easy
to install and admining it was quiet easy, but whenever someone tried to connect to it(including
myself) it would give the server not responding error! I was stumped, but then my friend Jon
reminded me that I don't have IP forwarding set up on this computer! MEaning that I have to
tell my router whenever it receives a connect to redirect it straight to my computer. This was
easily done, by going into my routers IP address and changing it. Forutunatly my router c....
Thanks for any assistance you might be able to provide. As per the topic title, I am having
difficulties getting a Virtual Host set up on my machine. XAMPP by itself is okay, in fact it runs
perfectly except with several projects on my Local machine for testing purposes only, I wanted to
avoid everything being accessed through the localhost/sub-folder method. I would like to go direct
to the folder in the htdocs folder etc, blah, blah. You know what I mean... I have been to the
sites reccomended by other topics and have tried several different things which have all bee....
You can make your Windows XP PC as an Internet Web Server right from your home. Be sure you have:
- Internet Connection (of course...) * either Dial-up or Broadband but Broadband is highly
recomended. - An HTTP Server (ex. Apache, IIS, etc.) - A DNS server ( try DynDNS for free sign
up) - Static IP Address* * if you have a Dynamic IP Address you can download the automatic IP
Changer to eg. DynDNS. First, Configure your Http Server Then, assign your Public IP to access
your systems Local IP Address Then, if you are using a Broadband or DSL modem configure....
Has anyone of you used your a computer as a FTP server, I am trying to do it but for some reason or

I have upgraded my PC from Windows XP Profressional to Windows Server 2003 Enterprise. When i used
Windows XP Profressional, i was trying BitDefender Professional version 9.0 and it is so great. But
since i upgrade my PC to Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, i can not use it anymore because
Bitdefender does not run in Win2k3. So who can give me a suggestion ???....
Hi folks, nice place you've got here. I hope to stick around for a while. Hopefully this topic
is new. I checked the archives and didn't see a match. I ran across a bundle of php, perl,
apache, mySQL, and phpMyAdmin, and I must say that it rocks. Once this baby is installed you are
four mouse clicks away from a gui to a live mySQL database. Okay, so you have to count a
double-click as a single click, and I'm not including opening the folder, but that's still
not too bad. It easily fits on even the smallest of USB drives, and executes without fanf....
I'm on a dialup system, so when I use the internet I'm pretty much using all my bandwidth.
And when I want to upload a file from Dreamweaver by File>>Save to Remote Server it just sits and
spinns about the server not responding. However as soon as whatever else I'm doing on the
internet stops (or I stop it) dreamweaver picks right up and goes. Any thought on how I can fix
this?....
Hi, I just installed the ftp server proftpd in my linux machine. I executed it and i can login it
with my user. It redirects me to my /home/myuser. Until here everything ok. My idea was configuring
a ftp server where a predifined user could access only a folder's range with read only
permisions and also a folder with write permisions but not read permisions. I am not sure about the
steps to follow to do this. So i thought that maybe someone in trap is using proftpd and could help
me. So the steps will be: - Create a user with the command useradd/passwd - Modify the ....

We all have tried to download different things on internet from different FTP servers. And
many of us share our files (mp3, paper works, movies and etc.), and of course many of us are willing
to make own FTP server and share files with internet users. The only thing you have to do is to
install Golden FTP Server software on your computer. Golden FTP Server is extremely easy to
use personal FTP server for Windows and can be run by any person who has the most basic computer
skills. The program loads automatically on Windows startup and you can identify the fi....
I've been trying to install a server on my Mankdrake 10 linux distro machine, but it has failed.
I followed a book, I followed several "install mysql" tutorial stuff and it doesn't seem to
work. I am new to linux and I have never had even an RPM work on this computer. Its not a slow
computer, but it runs a 1.7g Intel Celeron, 300+ Ram (256 + 128), built in graphics and sound -
sound doesn't work, and screensavers are slow as hell. I think the os has lots a problems with
the hardware (duh), and I'm not sure where to get drives (not that ill be able to use....
