bmikey69 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Just some question to Linux Gurus. Which version of Linux is user friendly for network games? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Linooks Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 well, it really defends,, kung ang sinasabi mong network games ay counter strike or so, I advice you to use MS windows! may pirated naman pre e. Di pa kase ganun kalalim ang support ng Linux sa mga network games, and think of it, most network games supports windows only. Yun lang bro. masaya ang linux kung gusto mo sya for documentations, browsing, email purpose. Pag nakabili ako laptop LInux sesetup ko.. with beryl! hehehe Quote Link to comment
Samhain13 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 when we checked the network tools it listed three "connections":1. loopback interface2. eth03. eth0:avahi none of them work.we tried the pppoeconf command and a host of other things, still no internet.Help!! In my case, it's eth0 that's being used. But one thing I always forgot was to turn the thing off before I start with pppoeconf. Try "sudo poff dsl-provider" first before running pppoeconf. If it gets you to where you're supposed to enter your user details then it should be ok. Although there are times that it's not the configuration that's problem but the name servers your DSL provider connects you to. ...err, but then again, I may be just as new to this as the next guy.

hitomi Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 you tried ppp pero ppp ba gamit ng dsl provider mo?did you try using another lan card besides the on board NIC? honestly i don't know. i'm just grasping at straws here. it's digitel's dsl, i think it doesn't use static ip's.we put in another LAN card - an ubuntu supported one at that - didn't work In my case, it's eth0 that's being used.

hitomi Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 hmmm... baka nagkaloko-loko na yung network config since kung ano-ano na kinalikot. heheheheh hitomi, balik mo muna yung settings sa DHCP. then tignan mo yung error ulit. hehehe oo nga, we're doing a reinstall right now hi sir cruesome, thanks for the replies :thumbsupsmiley: will update after :mtc: Quote Link to comment
hitomi Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 ok, reinstallation of ubuntu 7.04 is done. we did it while it was connected to the dsl modem, hoping the internet connection would configure by itself. it didn't. anyway, network tools lists a lot of devices:1. loopback interface (lo)2. ethernet interface (eth1)3. ethernet interface (eth0)4. ethernet interface (eth1:avahi)5. ethernet interface (eth0:avahi) ok, so the next step is?

Guest Leviticus Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 tagal ko na hindi pumasok dito ah. the need for linux application just came up kasi. how to put up an ftp server using linux? I have with me RH9 and ubuntu. alin ang madali. challenge nga lang ay p3 ang computer, 733 Mhz, 40 Gb hard disk, 128 RAM any info is much appreciated Quote Link to comment
makubex Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 P3 with 128Mb ram shouldn't be that bad if acting as ftp server lang talaga yung box. after installation and configuration off mo nalang yung x and run everything sa console para konti overhead. try out pureFTP - shouldn't matter which distro you use. IIRC kapag nag install ka as text, by default runlevel 3 ang init.kapag gui ka nag install, runeleve 5.128mb kung recent distros ang gamit, i think hindi nito kaya ang graphical installation so dapat pag boot, walang X. i think sa redhat derivatives ganto, not sure about debian and others. 2cents Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 ^^thanks guys. in my previous company I had significant exposure to OpenSuse 10.x versions. I'm looking for a version 8 but wala akong mahanap na versions (sayang because nasanay na ako sa OpenSuse). So I have resolved to learn RH9 all over again. iba kasi ang core ng RH as compared to ubuntu, too bad hindi tatakbo ang ubuntu 7 sa p3 unit dito. I'll keep on posting on what are the developments (and problems) encountered during the ftp server setup. again, thanks for the info :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
