Is it possible to generate a split type archive using tar? Similar to what RAR does:
file1.rar
file2.r01
file3.r02
etc...
When unrarring file1.rar it automatically collects r01, r02, etc.

#470230 Read user input with bash?

I've seen some installation scripts and other such scripts ask for user input (IE: Do you wish to continue? ) but I can't find an example when I now need it. How can I read user input to a variable in bash?
'Do you wish to continue?'
A yes would continue, no would exit. Anyone?

When my computer is docked (which also means dual screen) it seems like my font DPI is dcreased. It looks fine when I undock and remove the dual screen though. Anyone else having this same problem?

Just put your boot CD in and let the installer run. It will partition your drive. It is in the last paragraph from Jordan's post above.

I've never seen any Linux OS wipe ALL partitions out. Are you sure it doesn't mean it will wipe all selected/linux partitions out?

#468720 How to protect against brute force?

No. If you run a public webserver you should also use login detection software. The software will allow you to specify when to ban someone based on how many times they attempted to login. For example, if you set it at 5 and I tried (and failed) 5 times to login as root then the software would ban me.
There are two that I know of BFD (Brute Force Detection) and LFD (Logon Failure Daemon). Both work well.

#468716 Mac VS. Windows VS. Linux

Excellent read! What about BSD and UNIX operating systems? I'd also like to add a few points.
Windows
1) Vista can support more than 3gb of memory. I think XP had that limitation.
2) Default settings for XP and Vista remove even the BSOD (blue screen of death) and just reboot so you have no idea wtf just happened! LOL
Mac
I like the way you stated it was all stolen from Linux. Actually, it was stolen by BSD (FreeBSD I think) and then stolen by Mac. So they stole from the thief. I hate the fact that you have to have their PC to legally run it. Hacked editions don't work so well. Why is graphics so great on a Mac? Photoshop in MAC is horrible. I've seen better graphics development come from Windows than Mac.
Linux
I don't see it crash like Windows or Mac. More like services stop running. The X Windows system will sometimes hang but this is not an OS error. The lack of bug free commercial applications is the kill for this OS, IMO.

I'm trying to install rtorrent but I get Failed Dependencies error.
I tried searching for libsigc but can't find it. How do I know what RPM package it is in? Where can I find an RPM for el5?
libsigc-2.0.so.0 is needed by rtorrent-0.8.0-1.el5.rf.i386
libtorrent.so.11 is needed by rtorrent-0.8.0-1.el5.rf.i386

I'm pretty sure this is in your ssh.conf file. You need to turn on a directive. I think it is "ShowLastLogin On" or something like that.
