I have a Fedora 14 desktop which I'm trying to use to connect to a client's mainframe (running z/OS). There's a popular 3270 terminal emulator for Windows, but I haven't been able to find one suitable for Linux.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
If you are looking to emulate 3270 then there is no dearth of choices.
You can use Wine and Quick3270 emulator. I have tried this and its just awesome.
Linux based:
a. x3270: http://x3270.bgp.nu/index.html - Tried it. Its decent and FREE (free as in Freedom)
b. Jagacy 3270: http://www.jagacy.com/downloads.html (Haven't tried it, but it was used by my colleagues. Its really good.)
My love - Quick3270 running over Wine.

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 wanted to demo a few basic Linux shell (bash) commands to someone. I don't want to go through the whole routine of installing a Linux VM on my system just to be able to do that. I was just wondering if there is some online webpage where I can do that? Something like try MongoDB online.
Would be grateful for any pointers. Thanks!
I know is this one, it is a Javascript PC Emulator
http://bellard.org/jslinux/
This site does a lot of languages in the browser:
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/execute_bash_online.php
Well there is a FreeBSD one, should be good enough for bash stuff, see http://cb.vu/
Fabrice Bellard JSLinux is a full Linux PC emulator running in a Javascript-capable recent browser and it gives a shell (probably not a full bash just a busybox)

i am trying to get the remote access from windows system to linux system using teamviewer but when the connection is established the windows system sees the black screen. so anyone can help me how to establish the fair connection.
I had the same problem - for me with two solutions. On some systems, it just took about 30sec for the screen to build up (in that case, just be patient) and in the other case, there was a driver problem. Try to change the driver to the default ubuntu one and deactivate the proprietary hardware driver in that case.
