Intro to Linux

1. Presentation by Steve Wright

2. Review network mask settings (see Jang, p. 629).
    Review OSI practice test, Home Networking Test  and DSL Test.

3. Mandrake Linux

• Set up dual or triple-boot environment with GRUB (Demonstration)
  (RH Linux configuration file = grub.conf; Mandrake file= menu.lst)
  

• Modify KDE K-Menu to show "Run command"
  
      Unhide the options on the .hidden desktop menu (challenge)
    
     Share your home directory under Samba through GUI interface
           (hint:  try right-click Property options in KDE File Manager)
           (Command-line, see
            http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/muo/connect/csamba4.html)
          Check Samba configuration settings with Webmin and share another directory.       
  
      Try Virtual Network Connection with Linux and Windows machines
      (Check out Mandrake 9.2 "Windows Terminal" feature and see if works without
       third-party VNC client for Windows)
     
  
•    Setting up a DHCP Server with Webmin under Mandrake 9.2
  
     (See http://www.telcor.gob.ni/BCS/technology/os/caldera/ch10.html)
  
     For command-line setup under RH Linux, see Jang, p. 690-696
