General :: Compare Distributions By Ram Usage?
Jan 20, 2011
compare the best ram memory usage among linux distributions?
At the moment with some live linux distributions I run "free -m", on the terminal of the graphical dektop environment, without running any other command or application. Is "free -m" the rightest way to evaluate the amount of all the available ram memory left by a linux distribution? Which are the values to sum to evaluate all the available ram memory for the operating system?
Code:
free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 499 451 47 0 23 229
-/+ buffers/cache: 198 300
Swap: 1027 0 1027

I was trying to get the status of memory usage and disk usage using sigar in windows and ubuntu. done this in windows by just copying the sigar library into jdk library. But i was unable to do so in ubuntu. I've copied the library to java-6-sun library but still can't run the program.

And I mean what the thread title is sayin', when new version of the distribution is released? But I don't think that it would be bad if they all would have some general promo video. I think of it as a nice way to promote your distro and I also think that that kind of promotion would attract more users. As an example, here's the link to Sabayon 5 promo video; [URL].
I find it to be very simple, short but at the same time great. And I like it very much. In my opinion, all that should be said, considering all the facts that is, was said in that video and in a very nice way. I think that there was no inner distro things in it for a reason, if you understand me. Anyhow, my vote goes for that kind of promotion, but sadly I have seen only few of that kind of videos on the net.

I've got a great little Thinkpad X22 laptop that I hate to put to rest. It isn't really any good for the latest and greatest Linux distro since it's something like 10 to 12 years old. What I've been wanting to do for quite a while, now, is build a text-base laptop that I can run VI, Emacs, Mutt, etc. I'm looking for some recommendations for distributions that will allow me to do an install without a GUI desktop. Also, a distro that, in this form, will still have good support for wireless. I figure that if I can get my wireless card(s) working, I can pretty much do anything with it. I've been running Slackware, Ubuntu, and Fedora 12 on my Thinkpad T41. Do either of those distributions allow an install without a GUI desktop?

I have no real LINUX system experience and therefore the company has tasked me to get a VMware Appliance running in which they can build their product.
The product runs on Red Hat 7.2. I have attempted many times to get Red Hat 7.2 installed on VMware player. It always fails when I get to Xwindows. I need Xwindows as the company is going to use NetBeans 6.9 for development.
I downloaded an Ubuntu 10.04 Appliance, which runs fine.
The idea is to build the product on the Ubuntu and run it on the Red Hat target.
All systems are x86 platforms.

What are the default tools used by most distributions? This includes, embedded distros, BSD's systems, Unix-like...I'm asking this because nowadays distributions come with more and more software. But as far as I know "binutils", "bash", "grep", "ed" and "awk" are standards. What are the standards utilities to start learning that are most cross-platform [i.e.: the "shells", "services", "editors" and others].

Is it practical to have 2 different Linux distributions which share the same home partition? I know that programs save their configuration in home directory and that can mess up, yet I would like to play with different Linux distros at the same time while always finding my files at home.

As I was trying to do some patching on Ubuntu's kernel I've found out kernel.org's patches cannot be merged correctly with the kernel source. I'm wondering if distributions like Ubuntu have their own kernels different from official ones?
Another thing that I think could be related to this question is the name of the directory of source tree in Ubuntu that is linux-headers-2.6.31-21. What does that 21 stand for? Also there is a directory named linux-headers-2.6.31-21-generic. What's the difference between these two?

I would like to add latest tc+esfq functionality to machines running older distributions, FC3, FC5 etc. I am told I should down load the latest kernel and recompile with the proper patches which I can do. Are there problems with using latest kernels with older distributions, they are all running 2.6.x, but the x has of course gone up since FC3.

I first tried latest version 10.10 desktop. very slow booting in a Centrino CPU laptop not booting at all in a N455 CPU netbook. Tried version 10.04 which seems to work better fast booting in Centrino CPU laptop. fast booting in N455 CPU netbook. From Centrino Laptop with Windows XP on HD, once loaded Ubuntu as persistent live program from a USB drive, tried to install the program on SD memory card in PC slot. Upon request, installation made onto that memory only, not on inside HD, hence formatting only that memory. Upon completion, after removing the external memories and booting again the PC it does not boot of its own any more. XP OS damaged. I have recovered the system with a Toshiba backup CD but the HD has been formatted and all data lost. How can this happen ? I'll never try anymore to permanently install Ubuntu. I'll use it as persistent live on an external memory. I only have an old PC laptop with 128 MB RAM for further installation testing but no Ubuntu release can boot there. By the way, Lubuntu 10.10 look more fast and safe although appears to have more limitations then Ubuntu 10.10.

I am trying to install 2 or 3 versions of linux on my hardisk of 500GB capacity.The configuration of my machine is Intel Dual Core, 4 GB Ram, 3.0 Processor Windows XP is not installed on this.I tried to use a tool called GParted but was unable to use as it was not able to bring up the XServer So I booted the machine with fedora14 installation CD and chose "Custom Layout" After reading about the partitions needed by Fedora I created 3 partitions in /dev/sda
/dev/sda1 the boot of 500MB formated as ext4
/dev/sda2 the swap of 6096MB formatted as swap
/dev/sda3 / size 150GB formatted as ext4
The installation went well and fc14 runs well on this.
However when I went to install the other linux version ....the installer was not able to recognize the unallocated space of nearly 350 GB on the hard disk.....So I am not able to create new partitions and then install the new linux on the newer partition.As a result I am unable to make use of the remaining space on the HDisk.I think I should have created /dev/sda4 /dev/sda5 etc when I installed fc14 itself....
Would appreciate some tips on how to install the other versions of Linux on this HDisk....
