- Proxmox 04 - Linux Virtual Machine (2026/06/03 05:21)The heart of a Proxmox Server is setting up Virtual Machines (VM) and Linux Containers (LXC). In this article, we will look at setting up a virtual machine running Linux. It really doesn't matter which Linux distro, since they basically all install similarly. So, we will install Linux Mint 22.2 XFCE as a virtual machine. Installation Media The first thing to do is download the ISO file needed for the installation of Linux Mint. I downloaded version 22.2 XFCE from... https://www.linux.org/threads/proxmox-04-linux-virtual-machine.61667/
- Banana Pi R4 (BPI-R4) - DHCP for Multiple Subnets (2026/05/21 19:15)We are going to set up the Banana Pi R4 as a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses on multiple subnets. The Banana Pi R3 has four 1-gigabit Ethernet ports, which we will use to create four subnets. These four subnets will allow traffic to be routed between them. There are three Local Area Network (LAN) ports and one Wide Area Network (WAN) port. Which we will connect the WAN port to the local network that is connected to the Internet. The three remaining ports will allow for three networks... https://www.linux.org/threads/banana-pi-r4-bpi-r4-dhcp-for-multiple-subnets.61666/
- Run Windows Apps on Linux with WinBoat (2026/04/29 21:16)For anyone running Linux who wants, or needs, to run a Windows program, there are few ways to do it and sometimes it doesn't work. Some Windows apps will not run on WINE, or the like, and you are stuck not being able to use it. Some people will run a virtualized Windows system inside Linux and make it work that way. WinBoat is another such virtualized system that runs on Docker. This method has a few more alternatives and seems faster. In this article, I can help you get WinBoat set up... https://www.linux.org/threads/run-windows-apps-on-linux-with-winboat.60069/
- Getting Started with the Radxa X5 SBC on Linux (2026/04/03 12:40)The Radxa X5 is the newest product in the ‘X’ series of Single Board Computers (SBC) by Radxa. This board is an upgrade from the ‘X4’ which had an Intel N100 CPU. With the newer CPU type, this board has better performance. Specifications The ‘X5’ has the following hardware specs: CPU Intel N150 4 Core GPU Intel Graphics - Alder Lake N Up to 1000 MHz Display 2x Micro HDMI Ports 4K at 60 Hz RAM... https://www.linux.org/threads/getting-started-with-the-radxa-x5-sbc-on-linux.64236/
- Python Series Part 23: Text Widget - Part 1 (2026/03/18 02:06)Now that we've covered the primary commands, we can start on the Methods, Tags and Marks. If you intend on using a Text Widget, or multiples, these are very handy abilities other than the standard options. Methods Now, we can move on to doing something with text in the Text Object. Let's start with the five methods: insert delete get index see Insert Method We can insert text into the Text Object by specifying the line, character place and... https://www.linux.org/threads/python-series-part-23-text-widget-part-1.60068/
- Proxmox VE Series Part 3: Basic Configuration (2026/03/15 11:53)Initially after installation, there are a lot of things that you may want to 'fix'. These are some basic configuration issues that are made not only on the Proxmox Server, but from the remote systems using the Web UI for connection through Port 8006. Some of these may be useful to you; but not all may be useful. Even if you do not need them, they may be beneficial to know for future use. Web UI Once you have the Proxmox Server started, you can access the server from a web browser... https://www.linux.org/threads/proxmox-ve-series-part-3-basic-configuration.60067/
- Banana Pi R4 (BPI-R4) (2026/03/05 21:49)The Banana Pi R4 is an open-source smart router. You can use it for networking jobs, as you will tell from the specs on the hardware. Keep in mind that this Single Board Computer (SBC) may be small, but it is powerful, especially when dealing with networking over any type of connection. Banana Pi R4 Specs The main specs are: MediaTek MT7988A (Filogic 880) quad-core Arm Cortex-A73, 1.8GHz processor 4 GB/8 GB DDR4 8 GB eMMC flash 128MB SPI-NAND Flash Micro SD... https://www.linux.org/threads/banana-pi-r4-bpi-r4.60066/
- Python Series Part 23: Text Widget - Part 1 (2026/02/19 03:28)Within Tkinter, there are text boxes that allow the entry or viewing of text. The text can be newly entered or edited by the user. From the programming side, you can format the text as you wish. There is the use of colors, fonts, etc. Keep in mind that the Text Object can be a single line of text or multi-line. Some of these parameters are basic ones that we've seen before, so we will pass over them with examples because they are general options that nearly all objects use. Let's look at... https://www.linux.org/threads/python-series-part-23-text-widget-part-1.59025/
