More About Learning Linux
2005
I have changed from Fedora Core 4 to Redhat Enterprise AS 4 now due to guidelines that I have to follow here at the college. We have support for Redhad Enterprise bought and paid for so they said that I need to comply.
There really isn’t much difference between the two…I’m finding it to be just as hard to learn as Fedora…lol.
I have successfully learned how to set up FTP now, actually gFTP to be exact. I transferred about a gig of data from my Windows server to my Linux server. I was expecting the transfer time to be around an hour or longer due to FTP. Man was I ever wrong. I don’t know if it is Linux or what but the transfer rate was 560 kb to 600 kb per second, wow. Major difference from Windows IIS FTP transfer rates. Maybe it was just a good connection, I don’t really know but I’m willing to bet that Linux has something to do with it.
I have also successfully set up mysql so now I’m off to start adding tables that I will be needing for my project. Then I will be installing the Moodle LMS so I can finish my proof of concept for my project.
For all you Linux and Unix programmers out there…Hats Off To You.
