Recently Leonidas, the latest version of Fedora, is released. I have already upgraded my laptop using the latest DVD. However, I was planning to upgrade my office’s desktop directly from internet.

I was searching a good rapidshare downloader (for premium account) that can be run in shell and is able to download in batch mode. Finally, just now I got a wonderful shell script for this purpose. It is damn easy to configure and use. It can even load download URLs from file or from URL. [...]

মাহদী’র ফোন করল আমার ইয়ামের ক্যাশ ডাইরেক্টরীটা সে চায়। কারণ কিছু কোডেক ইনস্টল করা লাগবে। তখন মনে হল লিনাক্স রিইনস্টল করলে আমারও তো আবার ডাউনলোড করা লাগবে। আমিও ক্যাশ ফোল্ডারকে আলাদা জায়গায় সরিয়ে রাখলাম। তখন মনে হল আমি দেখি নিজের একটা রিপো বানাতে পারি কিনা। ওমা! এটা তো দেখি পান্তা ভাত।
যেভাবে করলাম:

I have faced this issue mostly in Fedora (both 9 & 10). When I start Firefox, it starts in offline mode. I had to manually change it to online mode (File-> Offline Mode [uncheck]). Today I became frustrated. But after searching net for a while I found some solutions. After testing all, I found the [...]

Today I had to face much trouble while trying to install vlc player in my Fedora 9. You know, there are a lots of dependencies for installing vlc. The Yum could not resolve (using rpmforge and some other repo) a dependency and it took me more than hour to resolve it. After googling for about [...]

I was amazed seeing that using mobile phone as modem in Ubuntu 8.10 is just like learning abc. You just connect a modem using USB cable or Bluetooth and Ubuntu will take care of the rest. The easy and step by step interface is so easy that any novice can configure it too.
But I am [...]

Several times I have tried to install Red5 Streaming server in my linux box and I successfully failed during every try.
Today from morning I again started to try as success was my sheer determination. I planed I would surely find out a positive result. But no hope. I again failed to install it.
Later, while searching [...]

Today, for a specific need, I had to work with logwatch. After setting up logwatch, I needed to check the logwatch reports. But I can’t wait for it to mail me at next mailing time. But I can generate the report to see on screen by
logwatch –print
But it was too big! So, I redirected the [...]

Recently I am trying to learn managing nginx web server. Most probably it is going to take the place of Apache or at least seat beside Apache. The main benefit Nginx is claimed to be low memory footprint.
So far I have configured three VPS with nginx (also mysql & php). But every time I felt [...]

Today I have purchased another new VPS to play with nginx web server. After getting the login info, I tried to compile the nginx source. But I found that no development libraries were installed. So I started to install one by one:
yum install gcc
yum install glibc
yum install make
and so on. [Note: these can be run [...]

Last two days, I am playing or learning to play with nginx web server. I have heard some reputation about it and saw some performance chart in the web. I liked it for its, as claimed, extremely low memory footprint for one of my small VPS.
After reading some tutorial in Projanmo Forum, I am successfully [...]
