Ryuji_tanaka Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 guys, w/c is better fedora or ubuntu? any other preference? what's your basis/criteria?ububtu for desktop,fedora for server Quote Link to comment
serpentor_ph Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 guys, w/c is better fedora or ubuntu? any other preference? what's your basis/criteria? ubuntu for both client and server. why ? because of the support, mas astig pa nga ubuntu compared to debian ngayon considering that ubuntu came from debian.

webmaster_ph Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 ububtu for desktop,fedora for server why fedora for server? Quote Link to comment
Ryuji_tanaka Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 why fedora for server?habit i guess.although mas optimized daw ang ubuntu even for server nowadays Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 ^^actually, same tayo na ubuntu for desktop and fedora for server. habit din siguro I guess. Ubuntu WAS designed for desktop application (except yung ubuntu server) while fedora (version 7 na right?) has been around longer than ubuntu and the thought of Fedora as a server just comes automatic. ewan ko ha (experience rin siguro) but palpak na palpak para sa akin ang RHE as a server :thumbsdownsmiley: napagiwanan na ng fedora to think na beta-version ang fedora ng RH Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 yeah, i know the feeling of getting used to it. from your evaluations, is fedora stable enough like unix? Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 fyi: ship-it is currently temporarily closed. so requests for free ubuntu cds are on-hold. they are preparing for the release of feisty fawn. Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 yeah, i know the feeling of getting used to it. from your evaluations, is fedora stable enough like unix?hhmm... fedora stable enough? :thumbsupsmiley: it depends on how you use it. ganito na lang.. I once installed Fedora 4 in a CPU na kumukurap kurap na sa WinXP; meaning kahit ilang beses ko na install ay feeling ko masisira na ang hardware. I cleaned the CPU inside and outside first and installed Fedora as a means to learn linux hands-on. my intention at that time was to use the cpu as a testing unit for fedora, tutal masisira naman na eh. eight months of continuous (24/7 naka-on) operation as a webserver, ftp, samba, and chatserver saka ko switch off for cleaning again. the only time na switched off. wala na ako sa kumpanya kong yun but still operational ang fedora server na ginawa ko Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 cool... i'll try both and see for myself. thanks for the inputs. Quote Link to comment
serpentor_ph Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 i have not tried installing fedora myself so i cant comment on anything, from redhat i moved to debian. why? simple reason, debian is still free and looking for software dependencies is not difficult because of the apt utility. then this yum came which i heard its the same a apt ( gaya-gaya he he he). then i tried using ubuntu as workstation, parang mas cool sa aking yung ubuntu server edition nila ngayon compared to debian. though we still deploy debian for customer installation.

webmaster_ph Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 so how does debian stack up against fedora & ubuntu? Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 agree. ubuntu came from debian but w/ a wider acceptance and support. Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 how do i add a user to the group: "root"? i'm using ubuntu btw. Quote Link to comment
cruesome Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 how do i add a user to the group: "root"? i'm using ubuntu btw. easiest way, change that user's GID to 0 (zero) in /etc/passwd Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 easiest way, change that user's GID to 0 (zero) in /etc/passwd i tried "useradd -g root -k -m user" but the account behaves as though it was an ordinary user. Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 well, its much more of a preference. is it possible to add users to group: "root". i mean w/ admin privileges? Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 yeah, i did google for it but came up w/ nothing. Quote Link to comment
serpentor_ph Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 i think the only way to go is sudo, in sudo alam ko pwede mo delegate root previlage to an ordinary user. but not all. Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 i just want to add one user to "root" w/ su or sudo. Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 i just want to add one user to "root" w/ su or sudo.hmm.. should have seen this question before. you are using Ubuntu, right? there is no root group in Ubuntu. I believe they disabled this. I may be wrong, correction from the community would be nice. If I remember correctly, I was also trying to add my user to the root group until I realized that I can only give root privileges to myself via sudo/su command Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 hmmm...that might be the explanation. although i assigned the user to root, it doesn't work. what could be the reason for this? security issues? Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 what's the difference between su & sudo? Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 its clear to me now. thank you. Quote Link to comment
