It's pretty well known that Linux is a big deal in modern movie making. Linux is the standard base, a literal industry standard for digital effects but, like all technology with momentum, it seems that the process of cutting footage still defaults mostly to a non-Linux platform. Slowly, however, as artists seek to simplify and consolidate the post-production pipeline, Linux video editing is gaining in popularity. Read More

Variables work as temporary storage for any programming language. The coder needs to have a clear concept of using different variables in the code. Variables are used to store specific data. The most commonly used data type of variables are integer, string, float, double and Boolean. The data type of any variable has to be defined at the time of variable declaration for strongly type programming languages. But BASH is a weakly typed programming language that does not require to define any data type at the time of variable declaration.

We are using LVM for flexible volume management so, why can’t we use LVM for swap space?

This allow users to increase the swap partition whenever we need.

If you upgraded the RAM in your system, it is necessary to add more swap space.

This help you to manage the system that run applications that require a large amount of memory.

Swap can be created in three ways Read More

In my last post, I explained how to configure an Apache web server for a single website. It turned out to be very easy. In this post, I will show you how to serve multiple websites using a single instance of Apache.
Note: I wrote this article on a virtual machine using Fedora 27 with Apache 2.4.29. If you have another distribution or release of Fedora, the commands you will use and the locations and content of the configuration files may be different. Read More

One of the most important skills you can learn as a Linux user is how to use a manual page, or “man page.”

This article will introduce you to those simple documents. You’ll learn how to open man pages and identify the contents inside, which will include special markings such as bold and underlined text alongside indicators such as ellipses (…) and brackets ([ ]). Learn More

For any device connected to the internet or a network, it's essential that you log events so you know what the device is doing and can address any potential problems. Increasingly those devices include Internet of Things (IoT) devices and embedded systems. Read More

25 years ago, in Bob Young wife's sewing room, the most successful of all Linux and open-source software companies got its start. Young and current Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst share their thoughts on Red Hat's journey.Read More

Managing an infrastructure of servers is a non-trivial task. When one cluster is misbehaving, logging in to multiple servers, checking each log, and using multiple filters until you find the culprit is not an efficient use of resources.Learn More

Sometimes, while working on the command line, you'll see outputs produced by commands in certain cases are so large that they don't fit into the screen area, and hence, you get to see only the last part of the output (as the initial part scrolls past the screen). Thankfully, there are utilities that are specifically designed to help you in such cases, and one of them is more. Learn More

Linus Torvalds is pretty sure he’ll release version 4.16 of the Linux kernel next week.
The development cycle for this version has been quiet. So quiet that Linus’ weekly pronouncements have been brief, dull and unremarkable, just like each weekly code rollup. Read More
