congratulation for your 650th post baniboy :angel: I read this comparison about blackberry vs htc. So N900 if I find a good offer and enough money, htc hero otherwise... thank you everybody

You are right about the price, on the nokia webiste if you search at different contries, you can drop to 550€, 500€ on other websites or even at 465$ (338€) in the US. But it's still a lot for me (maybe if I know somebody going to the US)Offers are coming soon in belgium (where I live) where you can have discount if you take contract for 2 years (I don't know how to say that in english), maybe it'll be interesting...maybe I'll go for the cheaper option (htc hero) if I don't find good offers for the nokiasomebody has other opinion, a phone review to share ? another phone with maemo ?

Thank you for your answer.I didn't know that phone. I read a couple of test and ... waw looks greatas you said, it looks like a geek phone and it's really what I'm looking for. x-terminal on it :angel: biggest problem : the price 650?my borther is in china right now, maybe he can get me that cheaperalso about the battery life. I read you have an autonomy of about one day, which is really small. You confirm that ?

Hello, I'm think more and more every day about buying a smartphone. I stop everyone coming with the iPhone, it's definitely no ! I don't want to buy a phone you can only really use if you jailbreak it and from a company so closed (you've understood, I don't like apple but it's not the point). Maybe the biggest thing that would make me think about buying a smartphone is the possibility to synchronise everything I need. I've currently 3 agenda : one on my computer (most developed information), one book (for everyday information, I'm carrying with all my stuff), one on my phone (when it's really important or when I don't have anything else). I want to be able to use my google calendar only for everything. The emails, contact book,... are also something I want to be able to access at any time. Some web-surf and GPS may also be useful but I don't really care about taking pictures (not at all), playing small games or useless fun apps. If I buy a smartphone, I want something I can use the way I want. That's why I was thinking about a linux based phone (I'm already a linux user). The problem is that there is plenty of different device and OS (found this list). Android sounds good because big support, you can except a lot. Meego sounds nice as you'll be able to really customize it (but not released yet) and the others don't look bad as well :angel: Maybe the best would be a phone on which I can try more than one OS any idea ? thank you

I don't know, I'm not sure I'ld really have the use of it...Maybe if I need to use an app on another OS and I'm too lazy to start a virtual machine or move to the next computer...but it definitely looks cool :angel: by the way , I don't think it's a google project, it's just host on their google code platform

ok there was a problem on the server side the ~/ssh/authorized_key is for the server only to connect, I've to use ssh -i mykey.priv login@myserver

Hello,When I install new distro, I'm always wondering how will I partition my disk.I've read lot's of different thing. You need or not have separated partition for your /home, /boot,...Can somebody explain me when is it a good idea to have a separated partition and why ?Here is how I do for now :- I've a big partition (>100gb) to share files between distro such as music, video, docs,... everything not linked to a certain OS- For each system I've my /home on the same partition than /. It's simply that if I loose my system, I don't really care about loosing the configuration of it. All the important files are on the shared partition No ?- I've read that it's good to have different partition for /boot if you have several distro. But I don't understand why. Anyway, I've a 100mb boot partition only for the distro the grub is installed on (archlinux)Is it good ?other question :- what about primary, logical and extended partition ?- do you use LVM or something similar ?- my firefox and thunderbird profile is on the shared partition but I've problems when it's not the same version of the program installed (with the extensions), do you have solution for that ?

what do you mean by it won't work on your hard drive ? when you to your website for your computer ? maybe a problem with the path (like it's looking on LOCALHOST/yourfile/ instate of yourdomain/yourfile/ but we need more information for that

click on your name next to your post and go to "find member's topic/post"is that what you are looking for ?

princeofvegas : I had a try about fluxbox some time ago, but I didn't like itI want to have an evolved wm. Yes there is lot's of feature I'm never going to use but there is also some I don't find on "less supported" wm (maybe I don't search hard enough)H.O.D : when I read your post, it seems to me that you think I4ve stopped using Linux.Not at all, I've never been so into as I've uninstall my windows not long agoFor me ubuntu is great for new users not so much interested into computers. If you really want to understand how it works, you should go for gentoo or archlinux as princeofvegas

In all the time I've been using Windows, I've never bought an antivirus.The free antivirus, are quite good in my opinion.If don't search the viruses (download warez, go porn sites,...) and not have stupid behaviour (open attachment send by somebody you don't know,...) I don't think you should have problems. (and even if you do, scanning everything you download before open it should keep you away most of the problems)In my house, we have AVG or Antivir Free running on most computers and never had problems (I had once when I had the stupid behaviour mentioned above, now I've learned the lesson)For the non-free antivirus, I've heard good thing about nod32, kaspersky and the last versions (the firsts were terrible) of norton

which player are you using ? I've already use flowplayer which works great, looks nice, opensource and the syntax is easy <html><head> <script src="/media/flowplayer-3.1.4.min.js"></script></head><body><div style="width: 450px; height: 300px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;margin-top:30px;"> <a href="/file/myvideo.flv" style="display:block;width:100%;height:100%;" id="player"> </a> <script language="JavaScript"> flowplayer("player", "/media/flowplayer-3.1.5.swf", { clip: { autoPlay: false, autoBuffering: true } }); </script> </div></body></html> you can maybe give it a try

waw you've started with Gentoo ?you mean that operating system where you have to compile your kernel (and almost everything else) ?I'm sure it's great if you succeed doing it but your knowledge about linux should be high (I'm not sure I have it yet) and even more your patienceI'm glad when I can introduce linux to one of my friend who is not so much in this computer stuff (studying law or something like that). I do it with ubuntu because I think it's the best way to not make them run away.Yes it's possible I PM you one day...

Hello,To connect to a certain server, I've received keyfiles :key.ppkkey.privkey.pubThe person who gave me that use putty on windows.There is putty on linux (the system I'm using) but I don't see why I should do that with this ugly interface why I can do it simply in the terminalI read that I had to put the content of the key (the ppk or priv ?) in ~/.ssh/authorized_keysI tried to connect with "ssh -i /path/to/key.ppk root@myserver" but it still ask me the password (which I don't know)as it didn't works with the classical ssh, I gave a try to putty but here I've a message "Server refused our key" and ask the passsame with the command line "putty -i /path/to/key.ppk root@myserver"any idea ?I'm starting wondering if the guy did something wrong on the server side...thank you

Hi, I was wondering before posting my questions about it here, is there many people using GNU/Linux here ? How/when did you start using it ? Which distribution are you running ? I started using it about two-three years, when I enter the university (I had an old laptop, no way running windows on it) I started with (x)ubuntu, last year mostly on debian. Now I installed archlinux three month ago and have uninstalled my old windows xp maybe one day if I have time, I'll go for LFS (always dreamed about my martOS) :angel:

the string I gave was just an exempleI know that between the two first words (don't know the length), I should have _ and - between all the following (don't know how many and where)I can have ab_cd_efg_h as well than 123_4_56@truefusion : your solution seems good

ok I've found a way of doing it $str='ab_cd_efg_h'$end = str_replace('_', '-', $str);$end = preg_replace('/-/', '_', $end, 1); if someone has a better way...

Hello, I've a string like "ab_cd_efg_h" and I want to change it into "ab_cd-efg-h" I know the function str_replace ( '_' , '-' , 'ab_cd_efg_h') but it changes every occurrence of '_' how can I specify to change one particular occurrence (just knowing its occurrence position, not the exact char number) thank you

ok I solved it I forgot to do some configuration during the installation of phpmyadmin RTFM martin :angel:

I was looking for information about it as well as we asked me this week to implement it in the small website of the association I'm part of.And now I'm certain I can't :angel:

Hello, First of all sorry if it isn't the best place to post about server issues but it's best I've found. I used to have a single django site on my apache server (on archlinux) but now I want to give a try to drupal and then installed it on my local machine. I search a bit about having more than a website on apache, and I understand I should do something like that in my /etc/http/conf/http.conf : ...<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName djangoWebsite.com WSGIDaemonProcess mart.localhost user=mart group=users processes=2 threads=25 WSGIProcessGroup mart.localhost LogLevel debug Alias /dmedia /usr/share/django/martfiles/media/ <Directory /usr/share/django/martfiles/> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/share/django/martfiles/django.wsgi</VirtualHost><VirtualHost *:80> ServerName drupalWebsite.com DocumentRoot /srv/http/drupal <Directory /srv/http/drupal> Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory></VirtualHost>... So I can access to my main website with djangowebsite.com and the drupal folder with drupalwebsite.com During the configuration of drupal, I'm blocked at the Database configuration I had already mysql, postgresql and sqlite installed but as it didn't seems to be enough, I installed also phpmyadmin I tried to access to phpmyadmin with LOCALHOST/phpmyadmin but I arrived on the error page of my django website as this page doesn't exist It seems that LOCALHOST/, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and https://go2people-websites.nl/ are the same domain How can I resolv it ? and how can I access to phpmyadmin (and finish the configuration of drupal) Thank you

I wasn't thinking what I said, don't worry (and I didn't find the button 'edit' to say that)Thank you for the tip, I'll try watching it tomorrow

I'm coming from Charleroi in BelgiumIt has a terrible reputation here in Belgium (elected ugliest city in the world by a stupid survey not fair at all).The city is dirty, you have a lot of problem with delinquents, people really don't care about others.Of course everybody is not like that, a lot of people are not like that, but as always, a small part of the population is enough to ruin everything...I don't like my city because I had already too much problems and I want to go somewhere else as soon as I finish my studies.On the other hand, it's still the city where I was born, I met friends, had a lot of fun,... and I hope it'll changewhen I'm too depress, I watch a stupid american movie and I'm glad because it's worse over there. Thank you US for that :angel:

@k_nitin_r : thank you for this long answer yes you are right about aiesec, I'm member of the group of AIESEC in Belgium I don't need to support several languages, we are doing everything in english (easier) On the articles I read on the internet, Drupal seems to be the thing for me. Easily customisable and not too hard to understand. I had already a small experience with wordpress (I had a blog with it but finally I moved to Dotclear which is basically the same). Anyway here I want a bit more than what wordpress is made for (even if you extends to his limit by adding a lot of plugins) Concerning Joomla, I heard often that it's hard to manage the templates and buggy sometimes I've been asking the same question on other forum and the main advice was to keep doing it myself usually, we told me that the problem with a cms is that it's too difficult to adapt to what you need if you don't make a "usual" website (blog, presentation,...) I think I'll try to do a small project with drupal on my computer and if I like it I'll adapt the aiesec website to it but for now I'll keep doing it by myself

ok thank youI think I get it nowSo if I do a great tutorial, I'll earn more than with this useless post :angel:
