Thanks for the update.


And for what purpose would acting like this serve? I don't get it.

LTS and Debian Stable as main. I usually play with atleast 5 other partition installs and often VB .vdi's of newer and other distros. If I ever reach retirement, and still have a few marbles left...

Ubuntu community is truly an amazing thing to be a part of. I really enjoy all aspects of it, even this conversation around the growing pains and oversights. I think it still is a driving factor...

A monumental "faux pas".

I am deeply saddened.

;p

I read your post too. I have been reading about free services. He states "I would highly recommend paying for a good vpn proxy service of some kind to save yourself the headache." If I were to decide...

More information to consider.

Thanks.

Yes, I do now. I didn't before you and others explained.

If I want anonymity with an online service, then sign up with it using a web proxy and use it with them. If I want encryption also, there...

I dunno, because I am stupid maybe?

Alright. I'm finished with it then. I was getting tired of using it anyways.

Thanks.

;p

Question about this please?

I only use TOR when going to banking institutions online. I signed up for them without TOR, before I starting using it.

Should I not use TOR for them given the above...

Hmm ... you guys are tweaking my interest. I had Windows 7 ultimate edition I believe, running in a vm a couple of years ago, and it was ok. Maybe I'll stick it on my new drive for a another test...

I am in the same situation with my Ubuntu 10.04 install and have also been experimenting with different distros/DE's ( multi-booting as always ) ... My choice for replacement to Ubuntu 10.04 is...

Thanks Fred.

I was going blind and getting friggin' confused until I realized that I don't need to know how windows does things before and after vista. So, I started skipping stuff.

Basically,...

Duh! I read the rest of the thread, and true to form, nothingspecial answered this question too.

:oops:

I might use the bind command in /etc/fstab file to auto-mount a separate /data partition's folders to /home. ( or use symlinks, I haven't decided yet ).

From here:

Hi everyone.

I had a thread yesterday that I changed the title to have Solved! (in the first word). Today, I noticed that an Adm. changed the prefix to read [SOLVED]. I appreciate the help! But, I...

I was questioning myself as I wrote, that the MBR was in the drive /dev/sda1. I was thinking I would be corrected pretty quickly if I was wrong by a geek reading my thread, but it took until now by...

I have been reading more about this, including other people's suggestions, which all pretty much say the same as your guides, that I have found.

I am trying to learn enough about this before the...

Thanks oldfred.

I will be making a separate data partition on next disk install.

I have decided on using Carla's setup proceedure here:

Thanks oldfred.

A lot of interesting reading there written by some familiar "heavy hitters".

Hi everyone,

From man fdisk:

It can use swap files and/or swap partitions, but the latter are more

@tartalo

I think you are probably correct. An epic battle has probably begun between the supporters of Gnome and Canonical because of the mobile market. Of course though, add in Mozilla, Android,...

yaourt -S xcalib

That worked.

I asked on manjaro forums, and now I see you have told me too.


Thanks.

;p

Thanks. It seems xcalib is not in the repos. I couldn't install it either. Thanks for the commands. I'll use it for other packages. I guess I will have to learn to compile for this distro. My best....

Are you saying that others before Ubuntu haven't taken open source code, developed it to their liking in house, before releasing the code hasn't been in practice?

If that is that the case, then...

@kevdog I installed Manjaro distro yesterday. It is based on Arch, but with the novice/casual user in mind with helpful ideas to that end. See the link, for them. It looks promising, and will be fun...
