- we take a course on Linux programming and controls and how to put together computer hardware
- then, we take yet another course on networks and servers
- As we're doing so, also try and practice what we've learnt at home-breaking up the computer and build it again.
- Get a good modem and internet service going. (As fast as possible)
- Then, we will get a good second hand Intel Pentium 4 / M / Xeon 2 / Italium processor and install Fredora Core / Debian / Red Hat Enterprise 3.0 / Windows Server 2003.
- Also, update the USB drive into USB 2.0.
- Get a good hand on it, add an extra fan for extra cooling to prevent excess heat from overheating things. Can also get some good hardware kits (heat sinks...) and extra memory devices.
- Start building site and uploading onto the server.
Problems:
Where does the money / founding come from???
Where do we get assistance from?
How do we convince our parents that this will work and not ruin computers?
How do we earn the trust from our parents to let us get a good budget. We'll need to do the research and be good kids right now!!!
Also, if we want to get Fedora Core or any other kind of distro (e.g. Debian), we would need to burn the disks. Samuel's CD burner is currently down. Plus, Fedora Core 4 (stable) is now released with a better anaconda installer.
How long does this project last? about 1 week, or 2 weeks
Remember we wanted to upgrade the Window 95 computer? Here are some stuff we can buy (if we get the money.

XEON is for 64-bit computers! Although Linux is able to support it, it is really high-end and require a full upgrade (buy everything new).
Better use 32-bit processors.
You need a license (paid by the month) for Windows IIs servers. Better stick with Apache.
Yeah! This summer! Joint project with Eugene!
fine, use apache and pentium 4 Hyper thread processor. Use red hat/ Fredora Core???
I prefere FC 3. As I am already using it, and that RedHat requires subscription. FC 3 is free and once from RedHat. Both very nice for server, but RedHat has technical support.
I think we don't need tech support.
fine. You can be 90 percent sure, right??
I am. Pretty sure. Loads of online tutorials on the web.
It isn't that hard on Linux. DSL isn't that hard, isn't it
Which
mirror do I use?
THat solves the problem.
My mum is going to go and find some courses.
Please notify us if you're going somewhere else.
Good night
How about Italium or pentium 4 hyper-thread. Very fast, prevents buffer overflow, quite nice.
You want to get KNOPPIX???
Why get Knoppix? It's just the liveCD. Not good to run the whole OS on the CD.
No, I don't have Knoppix. It has both KDE and GNOME (crazy!), OpenOffice, GNOME Office (AbiWord, Gnumeric...), KDE Office (KWord, ...), several browsers (think so), many apps...
It's PACKED!
Wouldn't actually mind if YOU gave it to me...
desperate, it isn't running.
qemu isn't running!!!
Knoppix? are you sure that you burn it as an ISO image? You will need to select this in NERO
QEMU? I don't know what to do. Was it just downloaded? if it is, it should work. Is it something wrong with your download manager?
Repeat all steps, see ifI made any mistakes.
there are one dsl-windows.bat and one qemu.exe.
does it run instantly, the moment you click??
desperate!!!
You click on DSL-windows. Otherwise you just report the bug.
IT SAYS IT CAN'T FIND QEMU WHEN IT WASRIGHT NEXT TO IT!!!
IT SAYS IT CAN'T BE FOUND.
DRAGGEDIT ON TOP OF IT AND THE ERROR MESSAGE IS WINDOWS CAN'T FIND
E:/SEAT EXCLUSIVE/QEMU/QEMU.EXE
desperate...don't sleep yet!!
THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS THIS QEMU.EXE WHICH DOESN'T RUN. CLICKING DOESN'T HELP.
