Better than opening in 2 VIM windows , I used to take diff and open its output in vim :). But diff itself has flag which will compare files line by line. diff -ay file1 file2 | less

Pretty easy. yum install httpd ln -s /directory_to_share /var/www/directory_to_share chmod 777 /directory_to_share service httpd restart i take drastic approach when it come to directories.:)

By default Linux has "rdesktop" program. Problem will rise on windows machine(of course!!). 1.Go in Start -> Control Panel -> Windows firewall. 2.Goto "Exceptions" tab. 3.Check "Remote Desktop" entry. 4.Press OK. 5.Open System Properties menu (Computers -> Right Click -> Properties) 6.Goto Remote tab 7.In Remote Desktop menu, check "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer" 8.Press OK. Other variants with similar setting are tsclient on Linux(which is for both VNC and rdesktop),vncviewer(again by default in Linux ,but need VNC on windows machine)

You can refer to my previous post for setting up KVM. Before : [root@euclid ~]# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- 4 veuler running [root@gauss ~]# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- Migration Command : [root@euclid ~]# virsh migrate --live veuler qemu+ssh://gauss/system root@gauss's password: ***** After : [root@euclid ~]# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- [root@gauss ~]# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- 4 veuler running QEMU Vs KVM : QEMU provides virtualization purely by means of software, and can be used as a stand-alone package. KVM--which stands for "Kernel-based Virtual Machine"--provides for hardware-assisted virtualization. It can only be used with newer processors, such as Intel Core 2's or more recent AMD Athlon64's. It must be used in conjunction with Q...

Qcow files are used as disks in KVM losetup -f Get a free loop-back device, say /dev/loop0. losetup /dev/loop0 harshal.qcow kaprtx -av /dev/loop0 vgscan Get the name of the volume group in qcow file, say vg_harshal. vgchange -ay vg_harshal Enable that volumegroup. lvdisplay Get logical volume name for that volume group, say /dev/vg_harshal/root1 mount /dev/vg_harshal/root1 /mount_point Good to Use. Once done, we need to undo the changes. umount /mount_point vgchange -an vg_harshal kpartx -dv /dev/loop0 losetup -d /dev/loop0
