First steps with Fedora 9

I have installed Fedora 9 on my portable one and of it I have received a beautifulst impression; truly it compliments the development team. However I do not want to make a recenzione of the distro, also because us of they are already many in net, I want to only signal a problem that I have had with sendmail and sm-client. My portable one is in net with the desktop on which there is Ubuntu 8,04 and to the boot it was stopped for approximately 3 minuteren to the control of sendmail and sm-client, thus they have gone to control the /var/log/maillog rows and I have seen the following error:

May 15 11:28: 35 maddomlinux sendmail [2149]: My unqualified host name (maddomlinux) unknown; sleeping for retry
May 15 11:29: 35 maddomlinux sendmail [2149]: unable to qualify my own Domain Name (maddomlinux) - using short name

Solution: it has been enough to editare the /etc/hosts rows and to insert the line:

208.69.34.132 maddomlinux.local maddomlinux

The outline is this:

[ipaddress] [hostname.local] [hostname]

Google Earth 4,3 on Ubuntu 8.04

I have tried Google Earth 4,3 (beta) on Ubuntu 8,04 and is a wonder. Miscredente Chiamatemi, but sincerely I did not think could work well thus. The installation is easiest, enough to go here, to accept the licence and the site of google incaricherà of farvi making the download of the version for linux. To this point you open finishes them and headed to the folder where you have unloaded the eseguibile (es. /home/tuousername/Scrivania), therefore launch a beautiful $sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin. When the installation ends not launch the program directly, some customers report of anomalies with this option, but you richiudete and executed Google Earth launch it from the menu of Gnome.
