As the topic states, I'm a noob to linux. I know these questions will probably be answered somewhere else, but the problem is is that I don't even know where to start.
System Specs:
Suse 9.1 Pro[Got it with that Novel survey thingy...], also running Samba
1.67ghz AMD
512mb RAM
200gb WD HD
Onboard everything else.
I'm going to use it as a place to store all my media files.
My two questions:
1) I'm looking for a way to access this machine from another computer so I don't have to use a monitor. I know how to ssh into the machine, but certain programs, like irssi, close when the ssh session is closed. I tried to use VNC but I couldn't get it to work. If anyone knows a way to get VNC to work, that'd be best since it would turn out to be a little easier on myself.
2) Is there a way to broadcast mp3s? I've ripped my cds and put them on there and I would like to be able to broadcast them to other computers in my house[not to people over the internet, just on my LAN]. I'm looking for something akin to shoutcast, I guess.
Any help is appreciated. I would google, but like I said, I don't even know a good place to start, other than asking here. Thanks in advance...
Edit: I suppose I should have mentioned my problem with VNC. At first, I could get it to run on the machine and my XP machine would at least acknowledge that there was a VNC server running on my Suse machine, but it would refuse the password. I retyped it in multiple times and it didn't work. After a few reboots, my XP machine refused to acknowledge that there was a VNC server running at all. My Suse machine seemed to be running the server, though. I dunno. =/
