You should get the k55a with the i3. If you want to go to the i5 you could do that if you can afford it but the i3 should do everything you want.
If you ever want to try out kvm then the i3 will be...
If you want to learn about compiling then you could check out linux from scratch. It will teach you how to compile a linux distro from source.
What is your partition formatted to and do you have it mounted? Another option that you can do if it is a linux live cd is extract the iso to the partition and have grub point to the necessary kernel...
I agree with this but at the same time I do not. If you are new to linux and don't want to futz around too much, letting the ubuntu installer do the resize for you will be the easist option. I would...
lol good call on that. I think I missed the mark on that one. I was experimenting with too many things that I'm just learning and I think I've over looked one of the more important aspects of...
Bash is a scripting language is it not? From my knowledge I don't really see how you would create a user interface for it. Do you want an interface to create bash scripts? I can't see the use of that...
Here's my script. Wanted to make it good. Got some great practice with various loops and functions as well as putting in failsafes and making it a bit interactive :)
#!/bin/bash
#variables...
Agreed with mastablasta, don't use 10.10, go with 12.04. It shouldn't run any slower if setup right and def go with server edition and if you need a gui use openbox, icewm, flux, or something like...
Sweet, well sounds like we have enough interest to get it started. I'm sure more people will jump on board later. It would be awesome if it got popular enough to have its own subsection of the forum....
If you don't have osx installed to the external(I'd assume you don't" You may need to install rEFIt in osx to get it to recognize the external drive although I don't know if that is relevant...
You have any reason for running a DE on it?? You don't really need one to run a web server and you can configure it so that you can do all your management for it remotely or even just ssh to it. If...
I wasn't sure where to put this, so please move it if it needs to be somewhere else.
When I started using blender, blenderartists.org had an awesome section of its forum where they hosted timed...
I don't like it much. I think the old Today's Post section was better than Latest Activity. Maybe I'll get use to it and come to like it...
A dedicated card + the same cpu will usually generate more heat inside of a laptop because there is more capability to generate heat in that small space.
They totally are, just don't get a massive one and it won't be so costly. I got a 128gb ssd for the same cost as my 500gb ssd in my laptop. The 7500rpm drive spinning up to get some data off it is...
You need to make it executable...
sudo chmod 755 /pathtofile/fileOr you could do it the long way: right click on the file, go to properties, and change permissions to execute. Also you may need...
I doubt you need the nvidia card then. It'll probably be a waste of money when you could get a better processor, more ram, or a solid state drive. I have the nvidia 650m with graphics switching to...
So true lol. On top of that, I'd say when you don't rely on google for every single problem and can troubleshoot a fair amount without searching google. Also when you can get the info you need from...
You try launching it from terminal? And +1 for checking that you have the right graphics driver.
Lol yes they can get their laptops to run for 7 hours but to do that means you are using the laptop for nothing with the screen barely visible... 4 hours sounds about right to me if you are actually...
That seems weird. I can get 2-3 hours on a much less efficient laptop... How many cycles are on your battery? Might be time for a new one. The macbook pro that I had went from getting 4-6 hours on a...
I agree with you that they shouldn't keep logs. They most definitely should not share those logs or even look at them if they happen to keep the logs, that is a massive invasion of privacy! If that...
tecra
was helping some in the forum find a minimal linux for an old tecra computer
Yeah, graphics can be a pain on linux sometimes. You can usually get it working pretty though ;) Definitely try searching for the specific graphics cards and see what other people have to say. I got...
