Hi guys. Musta?

I can't believe natangagp ko na kahapon ang CDs ko! 1 week lang ata tinagal na tanggap ko na ang Ubuntu!

A few days ago bago ko matanggap yung CD, I downloaded Fedora Live, then pumunta akong POEA.

Sa sobrang tagal doon, natapos 600 MB na download ko, 5 hours mahigit ata ako doon.

Comparing sa live versions ng Ubunti and Fedora, Ubuntu is Faster!!!

Anyway sa main forum ko posts ang results ng comparison ko. Nedd ko kasi reply ASAP.

Planning to install Linux. 1 hard disk ng laptop ko. 100 GB. Hati sa dalawa. Isa main disk at yung isa recovery disk pero walang laman.

Pero nag install ako dati sa D: ng WinXP then delete ko old WinXP sa C: ... naging secondary storage ko na lang sya.

Now, sa D: may 3 GB space left, sa C: nag delete ako, 4-5GB space.

Question, pano ko convert yung space na iyon sa isang partition pa without having na ma-delete data? Para doon ko ilagay ubuntu.

And, wala bang friendly partition manager dyan? Yung installer kasi hirap hirap. Di ko alam ext, swap etc.. at ano ba dapat size swap? 512mb memory ko. Pentium M(pentium 4) 1.7ghz 400mhz fsb, 2mb l2 cache.

May friendly ba na pang windows partition manager pati partition manager na lalagay sa cd tapos doon ako boot...
nahihirapan ako sa installer ubuntu. Di friendly.

Excited na ako maramdaman na stable sya sa live kasi, mabagal pa din...

Please help me ASAP, install ko na sya this afternoon.

Kung happy ako, sa friends ko nagpapatulong sa PC nila, install ko Ubuntu instead of Windows XP or Bayanihan Linux. hehehe...

ano ba talaga ang pinaka minimum requirements nito?

Thanks in advance!:guitar:

Oi, maligayang pagdating. Magkapit-bahay lang pala tayo, hehehe! Malapit kami sa Marikina.

Sali ka din sa chat: irc.ubuntu.com.
Yung mga masters dito tulad nila Jucato, nakatambay din dun. Pasok ka sa #ubuntu-ph channel. Baka mas mapadali ang mga sagot sa mga tanong mo.

For the system requirements go here: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/desktopedition

Are you running XP now? If you are using Vista, it has a utility to "shrink" your partition without messing up the data. From your post, it seems you are running out of space for Ubuntu. You can "shrink" your partition to make room for a new one as long as those sectors/tracks are contiguous. Ubuntu needs at least 4 GB though I find 10GB more realistic given the huge number of applications you will be tempted to install.

For the swap partition, 512MB will do.

Welcome to our forum and to the FOSS world.

Thanks sa invite. Wow may taga Marikina or malapit lang dito. San ka ba? Unfortunately, I am using SMART Bro, closed ata lahat ng ports nila eh, even off Firewall ko... How can I connect to IRC kung close lahat ng ports ng ISP ko?:mad:

^Dito ako sa Pasig, pero malapit lang sa Sta. Lucia. Tawid lang ng Marcos Highway, Marikina na.
Closed ports? Yan ang hindi ko masasagot... :(

usually linux people uses the freenode server,

for irc client, you can use one of these,

1. Pidgin
2. xchat
3. xchat-gnome <-- automatically connects to ubuntu irc server ;)
