Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hi All,
Recently i started building my own webserver.
Setup: Ubuntu LTS 12.04, webmin, virtualmin, apache
After installing Ubuntu, webmin and virtualmin, I made a reboot.
After this reboot, DNS lookups are impossible.
After i add nameservers to: /etc/resolv.conf, dns lookups are working again, offcourse, until the next reboot.
If i look in my dns settings in webmin, everything seems to look fine.
Rebbot the system, then check your configuration with:
Code:
sudo ethtool eth0
(maybe you have some daemon setting your network interfaces automatically, so you need to change this behaviour.)
If you don't have ethtool installed then sudo apt-get install ethtool
Anyway, you can even check your configuration by cat /etc/network/interfaces
Thanx for your reply;
I tried your option:
sudo ethtool eth0
sudo: ethtool: command not found
The second option you gave me:
dns-nameservers 62.X.X.X 62.X.X.X
post-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
I fixed it now with the following:
sudo nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
addded nameservers
[OT]
That F*****G /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base is one of the thousands of reasons why someone says "Learn Ubuntu and you'll know Ubuntu. Learn Slackware and you'll know Linux".
I don't like the Ubuntu way neither the Debian style since they're "customizing" too much things.
I don't use Ubuntu since its 10.4 version.
It looks like you fixed this issue already. But I wanted to let you know on some of the newer linux distro's you have to add the nameservers along with your IP address configuration instead of the resolve.conf file.
