Help with setting up Linux System

<< < (2/2)

CaptainJapan:
I actually have a 40 gig and a 6 gig, I'm going to give it a try on the 6 gig and see if I want to continue using it, if not I'll just format and continue using it as a backup drive for my Win98.

Anyways, I'm downloading Mandrake 8.1 right now, and I'll probably install it on the weekend.

And one more thing, will I be able to install programs on Linux meant for Windows? Do I need to get patches for all of those software so that they'll run on Linux? And if so, where can I find them?

How To Set Up VHOSTS on a Linux Redhat System^???

Are you asking how to set up a VHOST in Apache running under RedHat?  That's what I will assume.  VHOSTS are actually very easy to set up by editing the httpd.conf file directly but I would suggest that if you are new to Linux then download the latest copy of "webmin" from www.webmin.com.  Log in to webmin (using your browser) and click on "Servers", then click "Apache", then you should see the section for virtual hosts and there will be a button to add the virtual host.  

If you want instructions for the simple additions necessary in "httpd.conf" I can give those to you as well.  I don't want to waste too much breath though if Apache is not what you are really wanting help with.  And besides there is plenty of documentation on how to do that at www.apache.org (and many other places since Apache is the most used web server on the internet).

That's pretty much a big "NO", but it doesn't matter.  Linux has eqivalent programs available for about 95% of Windows stuff- you'll probably have to do some searching, but you will find a Linux program that does the same thing as a Windows program, like I said about the GIMP being the Linux equivalent of Photoshop, the difference is you don't have to pony up $500+ for the GIMP- you just download it.
