Probems with the CentOS 6.3 DVD
I installed Centos 6.3 from the DVD that came bundled with the OSFY magazine. After booting up, it asks me to log in. I had given rajan.com as my computer name and a simple password. But it is not accepting this, showing instead a ‘Login error’. What should I do? Incidentally I am a 78-year old Linux OS fan.
—HRY Rajan, hryrajan@gmail.com
ED: We are assuming that there was no error while installing the OS. The reasons that you could not log in could be many. I would suggest that you to try the following: 1. Double check your password. It should match with the one that you have given at the time of installation. 2. Passwords are case sensitive. 3. Try logging in to any other user other than the super user, if you have created one. 4. Log in to your terminal and remove the LD_PRELOAD variable in the bash_profile, in case it is there. 5. If nothing works, then boot your system in single user mode and reset the super user password. Restart your system and try the new password.
Hope this helps. If the problem still persists, you can reach us at osfyedit@efyindia.com
It’s also great to hear about your enthusiasm for Linux. Do keep writing to us.

Does anyone have any idea about SHELL?
Like . comment
Manoj K Nair: Shell is a software program that allows you to interact and access a computer system. User can enter commands in the shell prompt, which will be executed by the shell. Since the only means of communication through shell is text, it is known as Command -LineInterface or CLI. A shell is a command interpreter and serves as a user interface to the Linux kernel...http://www. ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linuxshells/index.html.

BensonShaji: I wouldn't recommend it. Even if it possible with software called Wine, it's not efficient or you may not expect the same results as it was in Windows. Vishal El Mono: Yes. Please download Wine software. This will help you to install .exe files in Linux. Spencer Allen: http://wine-review.blogspot. com/2012/02/how-to-install-microsoft-office2010-on.html. I've never tried a driver but chances are you don't need to. I recommend Linux Mint to new users.

How to delete wine extract files in CentOS 6.3? Wine setup already extracted in CentOS 6.3 by root account. Give me suggestions.

Riya Patankar: Are you installing wine ? Try this yum -y install wine. Sunil Malviya: Yes,I installed wine in root account, but there was an error that showed switch to other user account.
Samantha de Lucio: When an user runs wine for the first time, a directory named .wine is created in their home directory. The users home directories are usually stored in /home. The home dir of the root account is not stored in /home but in /root. In order to find and delete files, you have to login as root and look in the /root/.wine folder. Sunil Malviya: So, how to enter in root account with GUI?
Yogesh Jadhav: If you know root user password then you easily enter to root user just type this command $su - if you don't know root password then boot into single user mode and then configure root password.
Julius Steponavicius:
Hi, I'm thinking of trying one of the Linux OS on one of old laptops since it has a lack of good performance, and I wanted to ask for some help to find the best one for me. I have an old laptop IBM thinkpad T23. The main questions I have about Linux are about problems with drivers, or let's say- emulation of some Windows software like Adobe cs3. Tech specs of the laptop are:Intel Pentium III - 1,2 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 16 MB video card. Thank you for your time.
Like . comment
Spencer Allen: Linux Mint mate would work fine and that's what I recommend to new users. It will probably recognize all of the hardware and install the appropriate drivers during the install. Unfortunately your laptop doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for Adobe cs3 so even if you could get it installed using an emulator like wine chances are it would not run well. So I would suggest using the open source equivalents to the Adobe apps that are packaged in the creative suite. For instance Gimp is a close approximation to Adobe Photoshop but it's easier on the hardware requirements. Julius Steponavicius: Great Thanks, I have found that Linux mint has a bunch of other versions, which one do you prefer? One guy from Yahoo answers suggested Linux Mint with an XFCE4 or LXDE. Which versions ar these? (by number. 5 and 9th? ) Spencer Allen: Well here's what's available to download. http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php. I recommend Mate 32 bit.XFCE and LXDE are different desktop environments so is Mate. For new users I recommend Mate. Here's some more information on the different desktop environments available for Linux. Incase you want to try them out you can always install them after installing the OS then select the desktop environment you want to use when you log in. Julius Steponavicius: Great, thanks man.
One last question, do you think I should prepare some drivers before installing or should I not worry? Spencer Allen: I've used Linux Mint on a similar laptop. It wasn't exactly the same model, Mine was a T42 but it installed all the drivers for me. I expect it to be the same for you. Yogesh Jadhav: I think you can try Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10. It was a good support to an old hardware and gives excellant graphics & performance.
