One of the common requirements in a Linux-based network is to include Linux workstations. There are a multitude of ways to do so; if this network also includes Windows workstations that are connecting to the Linux file server, you’re likely already using Samba. This document describes how to have a Linux workstation access data on a Linux file server via Samba. Here’s a quick tutorial to the essential steps involved in setting up a Linux File Server and having Linux workstations connect to it, using Fedora Core as an example.

his tutorial explains the installation of PHP 5, bundled with Apache and MySQL server on a Linux machine. The tutorial was written primarily for SuSE 9.2, 9.3, 10.0 & 10.1, but most of the steps ought to be valid for all Linux-like operating systems.

Such a modern system gets data from database tables and includes them in the web page that is delivered to the user.

This project serves as an introduction to client-server programming. You will be expected to implement an abstract protocol called Simple Registration Protocol using simple TCP socket programming. To illustrate the use of the protocol, you will also implement a concrete application: a simple appointment management system. This application will introduce you to the use of LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP), a free, powerful and commonly-used combination for Web-based applications.
