Server :: OS With Smallest Memory Footprint For VMware
Feb 23, 2010OK I need a Linux OS that will have as small memory foot print as possible to host VMware. I thought about DSL or Puppy Linux but they aren't exactly know for running server class stuff.
View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Small Program / Large HDD Footprint
May 18, 2011I have recently dropped to a command line to run a DB server. In attempting to write a bit of Python to do this process I went to install emacs using apt-get and noticed that the foot print of the install was going to be around 130 Mb. Likewise with a couple other programs the install size was going to be a lot larger than I anticipated. I was wondering how the footprint could be so large and is there a way to install software without this blow out. While I am happy to use vi or import the code from a desktop with a GUI I think this would be interesting to know.

Aug 15, 2010How can I have /etc/resolv.conf point to my router address as the nameserver nameserver 192.168.1.1
instead of picking up the ISP's DNS servers and using that as the nameserver entries? Reason being I have more than one ISP account, and when I change I do not want to have to remember to restart the networking service. because i often forget.
Debian :: Proper Place To List Nameserver (Configuration)

Aug 21, 2010what I mean is which one has the least minimum requirements?I have a friend that has an older acer laptop and he says its running very slow. he's running windows XP , but he only has 256MB of RAM as far as I know , XP requires a minimum of 1GB RAM to run smoothly and this is what I've told him.I've been looking around for some DDR RAM for him but its still kinda expensive. $20-30 and he'd probably do it , but some of the prices I've been seeing makes me think its not worth it. might as well just buy a newer laptop instead.

Jul 6, 2011I'm wondering what the least err unit/ units are for a working Linux. For instance. Is a kernel + a window manager enough? Then let's say you install one app on top of that - now you have one app you can use, right? But is that right (kernel + window manager)? Do you even need a window manager for a functioning system? Do you need more than the window manager?I'm asking because I'm fixing to build something from the ground up but it isn't a regular Linux thing and I want to approach if from the direction of adding just what I need not taking away what I don't.

Aug 23, 2010I'd like to create the smallest-possible installation of Ubuntu 10.04 Server x64 as a VirtualBox OSE VM. I want to run just one service -- a Bitcoin client. The standard installation is about 800 MB. By whatever approach, what's the smallest possible installation? I find various procedures for removing unnecessary packages. However, I suspect that there's a simpler approach that I'm missing. By simpler, BTW, I don't mean compiling it myself. That's far above my current comfort level.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Reduce Memory Footprint 9.04?
Apr 13, 2010Just wondering if anyone has been successful at reducing the memory footprint of ubu 9.04. I have googled and read a number of "suggestion" but when applied had little or no effect on memory usage. So, after a complete new install, I am here asking this question. It is not a biggie but I am always looking for ways to reduce memory usage without sacrificing functionality.
I try to help others who would like to try and or convert to linux but often their systems have minimal memory and they don't or can't purchase more memory. So, being able to install ubuntu with a smaller memory footprint would be a good thing.
A basic ubuntu 9.04 seems to use about 300 Mb and for many that is too much. Hence, my quest for a smaller memory requirement. I have tried the ubuntu minimal cd's but they don't really achieve much in the memory area and they take so much longer to install since one uses the internet.
At any rate, if someone knows what services or programs that can be safely removed in order to achieve a better memory usage Oh, I have looked at numerous other distro's but seem to always return to ubuntu.
Ubuntu :: Reduce Memory Usage / Footprint In 10.04?
May 15, 2010I like a lot of the last Ubuntu editions, but my computer is a little old, and Ubuntu becomes slower each edition to me.
I get a AMD Athlon 2 GHz, with just 512 MB of RAM memory...
I tried to customize my last installation of 9.10, but i just mess up with the OS. Well, I googled for informations about reducing memory usage, as well others speed-ups but all them are a bit older. Does anyone know any resource about this?
Until now I just disabled startups programs, but i really want is remove packages and everything that I don't use.
One thing thats get me up set sometimes is that I run Win XP pro under a cryptographed partition, and even yet its very fast in my PC. I even tried Windows 7, and its was faster than the Ubuntus I installed.
When I'm using the 10.04, there is a lot of memory used by cache, specially Gnome...

Debian Installation :: TeamViewer Daemon Won't Start
Sep 22, 2014I am overseas at the moment, and the wife has been having issues with my machine. After many hours of trying to to talk her through doing things, one of my geeks suggested installing Teamviewer and doing it myself.
I have SSH and WinSCP from work. I am using amd64 so the first attempt to install failed due to unmet dependencies. Then I read the MultiArch bit, installed ai32-libs and the install seemed to work. When my wife tried to start TV, it stated that the daemon was not running. When I try to restart the daemon, I get this.....

Nov 15, 2015I've been using linux for a few months. Recently I have installed debian jessie and I'm learning how to secure my laptop. I have installed
Code: Select allapt-get install sysv-rc-conf
to shutdown few services that I believe I don't need at boot which I found very useful. Among others I have deselected avahi-daemon, cups, cups-browsed, etc. The problem is that, after rebooting, when running:
Code: Select allnetstat -lntup
I still find 'avahi-daemon: r' and 'cupsd' running. I have tried
Code: Select allsystemctl stop cups
systemctl disable cups
systemctl stop avahi-daemon
systemctl disable avahi-daemon
But after rebooting these services are aklways running. I do not know whta to do.

Debian Configuration :: Nmbd Daemon Dies After Boot?
Mar 7, 2010I am running a recently built Debian 'Lenny' system 5.0.4.I used the gui install and asked for desktop/file server/ I created a raid 1 systemsing two similar drives.Finally I set up some samba shares to use from my (wife's) windows PC. I wanted to use PC names rather than IP adresses to access the shares so activated wins.My Debian system, called arcturus, did not appear in windows network places. After much trial and error and googling found that the nmbd service had stopped.'/etc/init.d/samba restart' reported nmbd not present, stopped smbd and then restarted both. My networking then all came to life.There is a Ubuntu forum discussion around this subject and the consensus seems that the samba daemons are starting before the network is properly established. I have installed a work-around by putting the restart line in /etc/rc.local.But I'm concerned that I have some kind of configuration error.The following is a section of my log.nmbd after setting logging to level 3:-

Networking :: How Would One Specify One's Own Nameserver
Aug 19, 2010A server at which I have an account has changed things. The new /etc/resolv.conf fails to resolve a lot of addresses. I can use dig @ with OpenDNS and resolve them successfully, but how do I get apps, such as sendmail, to use a nameserver I specify? It'd be nice if a user could have his own additions to resolv.conf, but I don't see that in the docs, or a way to get sendmail to use a specified nameserver.
