Hi,

I am O from ITE. Recently, a number of us want to set up a Linux Department in the Computer Club as we are quite keen in learning. We need help from experts regarding the setting of linux and networking the computers in the lab. We also need teachers to guide and teach us linux.
Our only teacher who knew linux had quit his teaching position before we can set up our department.

Previously, i have make a simliar topic and a number of people have replied to my email. (docious@singnet.com.sg)
Unfortunately, my HDD was burnt and i was unable to make contact with any of them.

Please kindly help us and reply us asap.
My email is oyeo@linuxmail.org and docious@singnet.com.sg
ICQ: 8155015

Yours Sincerely,
O Yeo

what kind of reply are you expecting? i'm lost... is this a job offer?

Tell the "forum script" what you want to do,how you want it done,what resources are available and exactly why you want to do it.(meaning what purpose you intend to learn)

Clustering Servers I cannot help as this is an enterprise problem.

I am not at this forum for a joke but are you from India by any chance or just very new to computers all together?

Ermm i forgot include... this
mine is a school club.. we need help from people .... and we are unable to pay salary....

Sorry for the confusion...

Your Sincerely,
O Yeo

This link describes setting up a server with thin clients in a classroom, but should probably provide some useful info. Still not really sure what you are looking for...

Hmm.
You will need a Linux distribution (a popular one like Redhat 7.3 +)on CDROM and some PC's preferably with a CDROM drive and Linux compatible Hardware.

Then it is a matter of putting the cdrom in the Drive and rebooting the machines and watching it install.

Your main problem is always hardware compatible stuff however if you have late model machines(computers) there should be no problems if you stick to mass produced network(ethernet) cards Video(Nvidia) cards etc.(don't know what these are Try the computer manufacture hand book)

Once you have all the machines working with Linux installed it is easy from thereon .. to setup a network..

Note Linux Networks are no different to Windows Networks with the exception that the network Protocol was made by Unix and wasadopted to windows for compatibility.(too confusing just ignore it)

-If you already have machines running please post what you wish to learn as there is nothing to it untill you start trying to learn assembly programming

-I stress you need to put a CDROM in the drive and reboot the computer to install Linux

Where do you get Linux ?try this link www.linuxiso.org
