Lack Of Easy To Use Remote Option?

Im looking for a distro for a web server (Apache).

Ive always used Ubuntu but I didnt think it was the best for the job so I looked around and found CentOS.

CentOS is great, really simple to use but I wanted the latest and greatest.

Im getting replies that CentOS is about stable and I cant put the latest so I see now that distro is not for me.

Im looking for a distro that is simple to setup to run a small website off of (no big traffic, if any) and with the latest possible to be installed. It will probably be Wordpress. What distros do you guys recommend that I can run cutting edge web server technology (talking Apache 2.4.12, MySQL 5.6.24, PHP 5.6.8, etc.) and upgrade as soon as a new version comes out.

Hi everyone!

Having read about the latest LibreOffice version, I felt tempted to try it out. I uninstalled the default version on my Ubuntu machine and downloaded the .deb from the LibreOffice site and installed it. The new office has since worked without any trouble.

A few days later I decided to dump Unity and go back to Gnome. So I installed Ubuntu-Gnome-Desktop.

It was then that I noticed two versions of LibreOffice on the application dash (I think, because there are two sets of icons for each office application- see the attached screenshot).

Did Gnome install its own version of LibreOffice with it? Does it really have one? I don't know.

Whichever icon I use to launch the app, the office however always brings up the latest version. So, there's no problem in terms of application errors. As I thought there's no need to have an extra version of an app and eat up my space, I tried to uninstall through Aptitude, but it doesn't 'remove' LibreOffice.

Any advice, please! Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
I have been tinkering around with a distribution called gNewSense, a distribution endorsed and sponsored by the Free Software Foundation. I'm currently running version 3.1

I had a question about it.

I was wondering what the default desktop environment is. It looks to me like either Gnome 2 or the MATE desktop environment. I'm not sure which one it is. Both desktop environments look very similar to me.
A few places on the internet seem to indicate that it might actually be Gnome 2, however, I was under the impression that development for that version of the Gnome desktop has long ago stopped, and, in essence, the MATE desktop has taken it's place and continues to be developed for.

Thank you

I've just installed Arch, and Installed and configured openbox and gnome terminal. Openbox starts, firefox works, but when I try to start gnome terminal, I curser spins for a moment and then it doesnt load.

I've tried to find a resolution to this but I'm not seeing much relevant to this specific scenerio. Also, this is my first time ever installing Arch, or any distro without a graphic installer or a kickstart script. My experience is pretty basic. I've used ubuntu/mint/centos for quite a while but figured this will be a good way to get me learning.

After I post this I am going to reboot to get back to command line and look at the installation and maybe install another terminal and see if this makes much a difference.

hi,

what file manager is everybody using?
does it really matter...

cant find what the default file manager there is for centos 7
but it has dolphin installed as well but doesnt use it by default
im running gnome 3

i read that konqueror is good...is it mostly just preference

lastly

do most linux systems have components of kde and gnome installed by default...even if you arent using those desktops? cause i dont have kde desktop installed yet i read that dolphin uses kde.

Hello,

I'm a new Linux user (Mint 17.1 Rebecca Mate) going through the learning curve. It's a challenege. Dual boot with Windows 8.1, which provides the motivation!

I have an older Dell Dimension PC with XP. It's old and cranky, but I do love my XP. I want to wipe the hard drive and install a user friendly simple version of Linux that I can reinstall XP into as VM.
I am clueless where to even begin to figure out which version of Linux is best for this aside from the two mentioned below. The PC operatest 2.17 GHz, has 1.25 GB RAM, and a 156 GB Hard Drive.

I tried installing Zorin, both by DVD and USB, but could not get it to install or even work live. Just kept getting the F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup ingfinte loop. Spent a week trying every which way, short of a format, to install Zorin but I just refused to work, despite their excellent suopport.

Also tried every which way to install Robolinux ( all three versions), and again could not get it to install, although I was able to do the Xfce and KLDE versions live. Just went to them for support and it requires a $5 donation per case. Knowing how much supoport I could need, that could really add up.

Any advise is greatly appreciated.
TIA.
Cheers!

Hello all,
I'm having real trouble trying to get SVN 1.8.9 installed on a linux box which is now my responsibility to look after, I think it is centos or scientific linux.
EDIT: it is Scientific Linux release 6.4 (Carbon)

What I've done so far: SVN 1.6 was installed and working fine. I installed smartsvn so that I had a 'nice' GUI to look at the repos on the machine. Smartsvn then upgraded my repos. The svn client on the command line does not work with the upgraded repos. I tried yum install svn but the latest svn is already installed (1.6). I then installed 1.7 from source and still that version was too old. I then installed 1.8.9 from source - yey this worked locally fine. There are cron jobs that run and use the svn client to push to an svn server The SVN I installed from source does not commit properly and gives this error:
svn: E170000: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'http://.....' I googled around and found I need to install svn with configure --with-serf option. This fails as the SVN install needs serf 1.2.1 or newer. So I install serf 1.3.something from an rpm. That installs fine and I retry the configure step but it fails giving the same error. rpm -ql serf returns: /usr/lib/libserf-1.so
/usr/lib/libserf-1.so.1
/usr/lib/libserf-1.so.1.3.0
So I think 1.3 is installed...?
Does anyone know how to make the configure step of svn know where serf is? --with-serf=/usr/lib/ did not work at all for me.

Thanks for any help and I'm happy to post more information.

Cheers

Hi guys,

For my dual boot system, I first installed window XP followed by Linux fedora 19 and the system has been booting and working fine without
problem.

Now, I would like to remove window XP and install Window 7,
so, I need to remove the partition window XP is on, and then
do a fresh window 7 install. Is there is simple and easy way
of doing this ?

I have window XP, a window 7 and a linux fedora installation disk.

Thanks.
