Linux Ubuntu

[Krakista]

One thing that the people behind Ubuntu GETS is that they fit the distro in only one CD as Windows XP also comes in one CD. Most of the other Linux distros come in at least 3 CDs and some of them even come in as much as 7 CDs.

@Ajinomoto
If you're in the vicinity of Mandaluyong, I could give you a pressed ubuntu CD. Free, of course.

Ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop, Kubuntu the KDE desktop while Xubuntu uses XFCE (this is a lightweight version of Ubuntu, usually for computers that don't meet the minimum Ubuntu specs)

Gnome vs KDE vs <your favorite Desktop Environment> is a matter of personal taste.

Once you have Ubuntu, you can change to Kubuntu or Xubuntu DE anytime.

@vness re IP change when switching OS.
Yes, it has to.

Thanks. Sa Mandaluyong ako ng college..san area nyo?

Yung XP ko nung start up, hindi nagrerespond. Kaya ngayon nasa live cd ako. Walang read/write (NTFS) permissions sa live cd diba?

[pup2]

ubuntu muna!

ano na kaya nangyari sa bayanihan linux? base daw sa debian, dapat ginaya nalang nila yung linspire at mepis na binase nalang yung bayanihan sa ubuntu.

Inexperiment ko din itong BL even before Ubuntu and after Red Hat. I found the forum support totally lacking so I tired Ubuntu. So far, I think it's the friendliest Linux out there and the forum support is pretty complete and fast.

Bakit nagme-mail ng Ubuntu. Di ba you just d/l the image file then burn it? That's what I did.

Live CD ng XP o Ubuntu? Anong ire-read/write mo, yung CD (obviously hindi puwede) o yung XP installation?

[Vness]

Wala kasi akong cd writer kaya nag-request ako ng cd's. Eh libre naman kaya sinubukan ko.

Nasa Live CD ako ng ubuntu ngayon. My harddrive is in NTFS format. By default hindi maka-write sa NTFS ang ubuntu, read lang. Kailangan maglagay ng ntfs-3g (libre din hehe). Yun yung nabasa ko para makasave/write ng files to a drive that is in NTFS format.

I'll check kung madetect niya ang external usb drive ko. Thanks sa replies niyo.

[Vness]

Nadetect niya agad yung mp3 player ko that's in Fat32. Pero yung usb drive, kailang may gawin pa ako sa terminal.

Almost ready to install na.

[gibo]

for usb

either use devfsadm or volcheck

im not sure which... im not sure either kung tama nga yun command na yan. hehehe

Ubuntu comes in two CDs right? Di ba isang 'live' CD at isang 'install' CD? SimplyMEPIS is actually the one that comes in only 1 CD. It's both 'live' and 'install' in 1 CD. You can try it live first, and when it's working, you can opt to install it from within the working live system. That way, you can be sure that the installed system will run once installed.

My favorite lightweight distro is SLAX. Only 190MB download (iso). Try n'yo ang SLAX. It's one of the few live distros that actually as fast as an installed system, specially if you have plenty of RAM. What's great about it is that you can save your settings online to a SLAX server. You can then boot anywhere there is an internet connection and restore your settings from their server. I think you can even save your data, but that will take time downloading and uploading it from/to their server.

[Vness]

Actually isa lang. The live cd can install. May option to install at boot or once nasa loob ka na, may install icon sa desktop.

[elyserva]

Ah, para na rin pa lang SimplyMEPIS. Matagal na rin kasi akong hindi naka try ng Ubuntu eh. Maybe they copied it from SimplyMEPIS dahil repository ng Ubuntu rin ang ginagamit ng MEPIS ngayon eh.

[Vness]

Sorry wala akong alam dyan hehe. This is my first try ng Linux. 7.04 pala Feisty Fawn ang tawag sa latest dev.

im using Fedora 7 right now pero balak kung bumalik ng ubuntu pag labas ng 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)

I'm currently using Kubuntu and I'm loving it! Any kubuntu users out here?

[Vness]

Finally! I have Linux Ubuntu. I got a brand new drive just for it. I love how flexible it is. Can't wait to try the apps.

I'm one happy customer of an absolutely free product.

Good for you Vness! Ako din I'm so happy with mine. It's an older release 6.04 LTS yata but I wanted to start with it kasi I figure mas marami ng help na puwede ko makuha. Tsaka gusto ko mag-upgrade pag kabisadong kabisado ko na.

I'm about to start trying to make my video stuff work now. Can you help? Ano na tini-tinker mo sa iyo?

[mong_cute]

isle of man is a country near ireland. yes, it's a legitimate place.

[mong_cute]

guys paturo naman kung papano i-partition ang laptop para malagay ko ito...

[Vness]

Yung Live CD ng Ubuntu mero program na Gparted. Pwede mo yun gamiting pang-partition.

[Vness]

Eto na siya...
