General :: Operating System Command Cross Reference Site?
Oct 18, 2010
Does anyone know of a decent Operating System CLI cross reference website where I can compare diffent CLI commands against others? For example I have a MAC OS 10.6X running Darwin and I needed to know what the equivalent command using CentOS of rusers would be? It would be users running that same command at the MAC cli.
I just booted into Linux and the Update Manager prompted me to restart. After the restart the GRUB interface I expect to see is no longer there and now it is just a command line that says press tab for more options. I have not got a clue with shell language as I have had no time to learn it as of yet. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Linux or is there a command that can be typed that boots up the operating system. Even better if there is something I can do is there also another command that can bring back that interface I was used to.
I have synology nas box DS710+ that has intel atom processor inside. i've installed ubuntu under virtual box, downloaded needed toolchain for x86 processors, and decided to cross-compile openvpn.
I 've started from compiling lzo library, but first question that appeared in my head - how i have to move all compiled binaries to my synology?
1. configure - okay 2. make - okay 3. make install - this is not necessary?
Will --prefix parameter helps me? or do i have to use chroot? cause there is a plenty amount of files that i need to move to my synology.
I am making a text search engine. I need to first convert binary documents to text. I want to go with cross-platform (we develop both on windows and linux) command line (so that I can get the output via python subprocess). What are the choices for this?
Assume I have a computer on which I want to use ubuntu for a while (single boot). Assume also that in about six months I want to give this computer to Mr. X, but I do not want Mr. X to know that I have been using ubuntu. I don't want to install anything over top of ubuntu, I just want the computer to be completely (or as nearly completely as possible) blank so that Mr. X cannot infer what I've been doing on it. The trick here is that I can't use operating system x_{1} to delete operating system x_{0}. I don't want Mr. X to know anything about which OS I have been using. Mr. X, by the way, is a sophisticated computer user but not particularly interested in tracking me down. Once he sees that the computer is blank Mr. X will just install his own operating system and everybody will be happy.

I have been using various operating systems on this computer. At the moment I am using AntiX Mepis. I switched to Linux because my Windows used to freeze all of a sudden after a few hourse or even minutes. Now my Linux was quite stable for a few days but again, it freezes in a few minutes when I use a Window Manager. In the terminal without using any Window Manager it never freezes. Can anyone tell me the solution to this? code...
I would like to start a videoic operating system;hwever,I know nothing about linux systems.Is it possible to select a button,press it;then have small video packets play special videos?For example:I select;and press, the "control panel" icon.A video displays the floor of my displayed image ,raising;then,displays a short travel through a hallway to a door labelled "control panel".Afterwards, the door opens to display various controls;each of which has video displays in them.Each button would contain a short video display "packet". I have a linux red hat 9 book and cd's.
I installed Linux on a laptop once.. i'd like to do a dual boot but i've never done it before. Is there anything special i need to do? i don't want it to write over my current operating system.
I installed LinuxMint on an external harddisk. I shutdown the laptop and removed the external harddisk. Then when I restarted the laptop (external harddisk was not attached).
Error: No such device <hex number>, Grub Rescue>
The laptop showed me the above stated error. Now I am not able to boot any OS on it until I reconnect the external harddisk!
The original operating system system for this laptop, an Acer Aspire One, Model No. ZG5, is not working. How do I get a copy of its original operating system to reinstall
What are the challenges that are involved in porting an Operating system to a new architecture? Say I want to port linux to new architecture called XYZ, what are the things that should be taken care of?
Normally, on my website, files are either handled by WordPress or by me doing FTP. I'd like to copy my entire site to a new folder. I don't want to copy it down to my local drive (with wget) and then just upload it. How close is this to the line I'd need (except near midnight)
mv -r fromfolder \%todaysdate%
I've played with Unix and Linux for a few days over the years, but I'm a Windows (and DOS-prompt) guy. So, I don't know how to get to the server's command prompt on my 1and1-hosted site.
I'm currently switching to a new laptop that will be my main machine and currently I use a laptop and a desktop on a daily basis. The laptop will continue to be used by another member of my family but the desktop will no longer have any use (well I might later build a new desktop but this one has finished his service).
The machine in question has: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ @ 2.4GHz 4x512MB DDR-400 (2GB Total) Seagate 200GB SATA 7200RPM 8MB Cache Hard Drive Geforce 6600GT 256MB GDDR3
Since I will no longer use it as a desktop/working machine I'd like to set it up as a home server. However I can't decide which OS to use for that. I have access to all Windows Versions since XP/2003 (with the exception of Windows Home Server) and I have some knowledge using both Windows and Linux so that's not a problem on my choice.
I am interested in changing the Operating system on an old laptop of mine from Vista to Linux. Problem is I don't know anything about Linux. I have been told Fedora is a good distribution for me to get started with. uninstall windows and get started with Linux?
Windows XP is installed in my C drive. Can I install an another fresh copy of Windows XP or Linux or Windows 7 in same C drive without formatting the previous one?
I've come across this rare issue, I have a friend that uses some software that is particularly slow in Windows 7, the best compatibility is in Windows XP, I told him to make a partition and have both OSes in the computer, at which he replied: "Could I have a different OS for each user?", it seemed like a good question to me, so is that possible?, suppose that I login and it boots me to Vista, then I loggout and Linus Torvalds comes and logins and boots him into Ubuntu, he gets bored and logs out, afterwards my friend comes and logs in, booting into XP, summarizing:
The operating system that will be loaded will depend on the user that logs in.
