We need to set up a Git server in our team.
I have decided to first go with a VM, and expand in the future if needed.
I've gathered Linux would be the easiest setup.
Problem is, i have very limited experience with Linux, some questions that i'm trying to answer are:
What is the actual procedure for installing the Git package? is it a simple matter of RPM installation ?
Following the installation, i'd need to map the Git repo to some net share. how is this done? i believe that i need to configure xinetd.d, looking for exact steps.
How is authentication is set up for various users to access this machine?
Which version of Linux makes any difference? we have the RHEL 5 64 bit here.
Anything else i'm currently missing?
Haven't used RHEL 5 but yes, any modern distro should have git available in a package. I'm guessing that "yum install git" would do it.
Depends on the type of net share. Google it.

Shouldn't.

Hi everyone.
I recently purchased a VPS with CentOS 5.3!
However, I want it to run on Ubuntu. How do I convert the system to Ubuntu?
I guess the best you can do is to ask system administrators of the company you purchased your VPS from. They may do it manually and backup data on your VPS you may want to save.
This option also might be accessible on the control panel of you VPS provider.
Reinstalling OS by hand on your VPS may result in a lot of headache and I wouldn't recommend it.
Just install Ubuntu; it doesn't matter what's already installed.
If you have any data on the machine that you care about, back it up first.

I would want to install a free Linux OS in my laptop. I am not a techie. I am looking for Linux OS which will have inbuilt features for Fn(Function) keys. Please suggest me if you know any particular Linux OS with these features.
This OS have a laptop version. Easy to use, and supports the newest hardwares:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
There are so many choices. Ubuntu is the defacto first distro, although I don't really care for it ever since they went to Unity and Gnome 3. I would rather use Mint with Cinnamon.
A good start is to look at something like Linux Watch http://distrowatch.com/ and see what distros sound good to you, then burn the live disk and check it out. If you like it you can then install it.

I been trying to install Ubuntu for my new laptop for ages now. Always getting the same error the very last second of the install.
Here is a screenshot and a the log of the install.

Used the windows installer. Tried to reboot multiple times. But the OS is not showing up on the list on boot.
First, the distrib is ubuntu, not ubunto.\
Secondly, I recommand you to use a live CD or a USB stick if you want to try the system, and if it works well and/or you like it, install the system using that same medium.
There are plenty of howto on the internet, so I won't explain here, but the principle is to reduce windows partition (or allocating a full hard drive for linux) and manage the partition scheme throw the installer.
Hope this helps, at least a little :-)
First, it's ubuntu, not ubunto. From my google searches your problem is a pretty common one with no apparent solution. Burn the ISO to CD and install that way, it is the most reliable method. If you cannot do that, try the USB or netboot options, but the CD is the best way.

I want to install a virtual linux system within my Windows7 operating system. I was thinking of using Cygwin. Any suggestions of other good/better softwares to use?
Thanks for the help
For running UNIX-y apps within Windows, Cygwin is pretty much the de-facto standard. The programs that are installable through Cygwin are essentially clones of the Linux ones, but compiled under Windows so that they run natively. Note though that you can't run a Linux program under Cygwin.
On the other hand if you want to run native Linux programs or a Linux distribution like Ubuntu, you'll need something like VirtualBox.
I cannot help but mention the amazing JavaScript PC emulator running Linux .. http://bellard.org/jslinux/ since you do not specify what you are trying to do with Linux, that may well answer your needs.

Here is an example. If I built an application in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, and it can run in this environment well. Now I switch to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11. But I don't rebuild the application, and I directly run it in SUSE11. What's the problem if I do it? If the application can still run, are there any potential problems? Is the performance worse? Many system libraries are different, so I guess maybe there are some problems even if it can run.
There will be problems only if the libraries the application depends on changed their ABI. A typical example is if it uses libpng 1.4, but on the newer system, libpng 1.5 is installed. Since they are incompatible, you will need to rebuild it, or find the appropriate .so file.
If there is no dependency, everything will be fine. The Glibc is always compatible between versions.
You won't know until you try. Install the newer SUSE onto a virtual machine and test-run the application.
