Ubuntu Operating system
-
Totally rocks!. wht u think?
Is it the demise of M$?
-
Probably not. Linux still has a long way to go.
-
sigh. i need to learn ubuntu server stuff next sem
-
i wish its more easier to use.
sometimes changing simple effects like theme are quite confusing -
OpenSuse for the real newbies. I've got to admit trying to figure out Ubuntu is harder than OpenSuse.
-
i dunno leh.. my friend install suse linux in a easy manner .. when i try.. its like wth.. i can't install.. i prefer ubuntu.. easier for me .. suse linux requires abit of knowledge to me
-
Ah... installation of Suse. That I've to say it's hard. It's actually easy... but not so clearcut.
Ubuntu installation is easy, but when it comes to usage, sometimes it can get a tad hard.
Looking at PCLinux too... but this one is one hell to install. You can't dual boot without crashing another OS first.

Reminds me of when I first tried installing Fedora 4 earlier this year on my laptop for fun, deleted all my data in XP without any backups...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Looking at PCLinux too... but this one is one hell to install. You can't dual boot without crashing another OS first.
Anyway, going to try install Xubuntu later on my laptop... kind of tired of Windows but I still need it for school at the moment, so need to dual boot. -
XP owns all.

Linux is not hard or difficult, it is just different.

You don't need to reinstall your OS just because something goes wrong. Pick up some command-line skills and fix it the way it's mean to be fixed.Originally posted by meltz:i just crash my ubuntu twice

If you intend to use Linux properly, you need to undo the bad habits you have learned from Windows. Otherwise, you will never go far. -
Doubtful. While i have no experience with PCLinux, it is not likely that it will crash another OS.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Looking at PCLinux too... but this one is one hell to install. You can't dual boot without crashing another OS first.
Installing a bootloader (be it GRUB or LILO) will not affect or alter your other OS's partition. -

One nut here.Originally posted by Where Is God:Doubtful. While i have no experience with PCLinux, it is not likely that it will crash another OS.

Download the ISO file, boot up to it, and install. See if it gives you the choice to install without affecting another partition.
Also, try it with Windows installed first. I see how you can avoid reformatting Windows and get PCLinux up to dual boot. -
I don't think i have to download the ISO, boot it up to see your problem. It's pretty clear you are not well versed with partitioning. The problem you described here is likely due to the fact that your HD was singly partitioned previously, hence you had to delete the windows partition. If your partition is well done, you would be able to leave the windows partition untouched while altering your other partitions.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:One nut here.

Linux requires the minimum of 2 partitions to install, root partition and swap partition. In my case, my 40 gigabyte harddisk is partitioned into 4 sections. 25% for windows, 25% for root, 40% for home partition, and 10% for swap partition. This way, when i install a new OS, i simply format the root partition. My windows partition stays intact, and so is my home partition. Swap is negligible.
If you had a single partition previously and want to dual boot, you can choose to either format or split your partitions. Splitting partitions is not recommended, however, it may be the only choice in some situations. There are many tools which serves this purpose on linux, e.g. fdisk, cfdisk or sfdisk. All of these can help you resize your partition.
Now who's the nut? -
Try then tell me. I have no problems with other distros, just PCLinux.Originally posted by Where Is God:I don't think i have to download the ISO, boot it up to see your problem.

Instead of challenging me, why don't you educate yourself. The problem lies with you, not PCLinux. The number of partitioning tools for Linux can be counted with both hands. I don't need to download a whole Linux distribution just to run a piece of software i can apt-get easily. That is just plain stupid, and I'm surprised you can come up with that.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Try then tell me. I have no problems with other distros, just PCLinux.
Frankly, you're making a fool of yourself. To think you are the mod of tech forum.. Pathetic. -
You have not even tried.
-
That's because I'm not as stupid as you are.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:You have not even tried. -
Yea, I find her pathetic as well, being a mod herself, to be insulted by a naive newcomer who pops up at the tech forum once in a while and thinks that everything in theory should go well in practice.Originally posted by Where Is God:Instead of challenging me, why don't you educate yourself.

And excuse me, may I know is your first name Hitler? I couldn't agree with you more, man. I think natural selection should get rid of idiots as well. But unfortunately, it doesn't work well in practice. I mean, you're still alive and kicking, right? -
hmm now now, this isn't eternal hope. lol
relax la, we're all here to learn.
hmm my uncle tried to intro me to use ubuntu cuz i refused to upgrade to xp, saying that win 2000 is the most secure. then he said then why dun i try ubuntu, i can just install and dual boot, just to try it out. that way i can continue using windows as well. -
eh eh eh... don't steal my business ar... flaming threads has my copyright one k?
