rm -df?
Could any one be so kind as to explain the command
rm -df *.* and how it differs from
rm -rf *.*I know that rm -rf is recursive and force, but no idea what rm -df is. rm -df is D___ and force?

Install sun java not open java. Thats how I was able to get minecraft working.
About the only component that can be replaced that would cause you to need to reinstall an operating system is the mother board.

Your Ubuntu Partition would be mostly safe if the windows install was some how compromised. About the worst that could happen from running windows (assuming ext4 file system) is the drive could be...
I wouldn't recommend it, its a good way to loose data due to corruption. If it corrupted a system folder then your stability will be affected.
OSX is based on unix core, so is a sister to linux.
Funniest thing I have heard was "that has got to be illegal, no way Microsoft would allow a thing like that on there computers.
I decided to boot into the newer kernel to try to get things working, and when I checked I was connected. I think the sky2 driver was just being wonky for what ever reason. Thanks for the help though.
Since updating to the 2.6.32-24.43 kernel I am unable to connect to the network. Its like the networking was disabled, but its not. I wasn't even able to access my router on the network. Every thing...
Dont bother with IE, it still sucks. Give Firefox, Chrome, or Opera a go, and see if they still crash.
Try pcdecrapifier, it makes it easy to uninstall all the bloat ware that comes on most new...
We cant really do any thing about it so why worry. as long as your not connecting to it whats the issue?
Sounds like your trying to run an SLI or Crossfire setup. I don't think it can be done with two different cards. You would need two ATI or Nvidia cards to Crossfire or SLI the GPU's.
Modified ambiance theme
Icons are Awoken
Window border is Humanoid OSX Black
Background is from OSX
You could likely run the regular, gnome, ubuntu with that. Personally I would run some thing lighter like xubuntu or even Crunch bang linux. Crunch bang is based off ubuntu, 9.04 I think, but is...
BraseroGrowisofs stderr: :-( write failed: Wrong medium typeTry a different type of CD or DVD. Like maybe a CD-R or DVD-R.
I have/will buy an apple product for technical reasons, I couldn't care less if I look cool because I have one. I like the fact that Mac OS X and Linux are extremely close, OS X being unix based....
My problem with the iPad is that you can not connect a USB flash drive to it, and it still uses a hacked up OS X called iOS. I want a tablet ware I can run a full operating system like windows,...
Arguably a defrag is some thing that doesn't need to be done in ubuntu. There are tools to defrag ext3, so i have heard, but i have never used any of them.
#!/bin/bash
rsync -avz -e ssh ****@192.168.0.2:/home/****/Ubuntu\ One/ /home/****/Ubuntu\ One/ Not sure about the password thing but you could try the above code.
It wont cause any problems, I have it set up the exact same way. My primary HDD is windows, for gaming, and my secondary HDD is Ubuntu. Each drive has it's own MBR so they are independent of each...
Try running pidgin from the terminal, that should tell you whats up. Doesn't sound like some one hacking into your machine.

Likely not, I haven't looked at the particulars yet, but most viruses are made for windows as that's the most popular OS.
Think of the bios as the hardware loader. Its a hardwired piece of software that controls the hardware at the lowest level. Up from the bios you have the Operating System.
A partition is just a...
I would also say Ubuntu. Even though OSX is based on a Unix kernel, I don't think apple has the best track record at fixing vulnerabilities in a timely manner. Could be wrong though, don't use a mac.
Linux security =/= Windows security. A firewall in Linux isn't 100% required and if your behind a router you likely don't need one.
Ubuntu does in fact have a great firewall, UFW. UFW is a tool...
