May 20, 2010After trying many diferent LiveCD Distros I found one that is pretty perfect for me, the SLAX one, especially because it gives me the option to start directly on a command line mode (wich is what I'm focusing now). So I'm wondering what others distros have this option at startup. I guess Slackware has this too right? Can you sugest any other distro with that option?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: No Offer To Update To 10.04?
May 20, 2010I've been running 8.04 for a long time w/o problems. However, videos tended to hangup, as if waiting for more data. I have a Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS graphics card, so I attempted to load the latest driver. That landed me in Low Graphics Hell, where I couldn't change the resolution (even when a better one was offered) because I couldn't get to the bottom of the screen to get to 'Apply.' I had down loaded 10.04 and burned a couple of CDs, and I attempted to upgrade. But neither the Update Manager or CD worked because I couldn't get far enough down the update screen. After a long struggle, I have a reasonable resolution, with the Nividia x server running.
Now, when I try to up date, 10.04 is no longer offered to me, either by the Update Manager or the CD. Apparently, I've used up all of my chances to upgrade. What now?
Fedora :: Yum Update Offer Unneeded Package Only?
Apr 12, 2010Now, every time I do yum update my system will also offer me package for F12, F13, F14. But if I try to install it, it will not resolve because I my system is still F11. I don't remember exactly what the error message is, but I think it said that I should have system > 13 to install that packages. What should I do so next time I do yum update I just offered packages I needed only?

General :: Share /var And /usr Among Different Distros?
Feb 9, 2010I currently have one very big partition in my laptop that runs Ubuntu. I have to install Fedora for work and I'd also like to try out OpenSUSE, so I'll have to repartition. Since I don't want to duplicate data, I will move /home to a different partition and mount it from all three. I'd like to know, can I also do this with /var and /usr? If so, would that mean that every program I install will be available from all three?

Do any commands exist in one distro but not in the others? ARE ALL Distros compatible on the CLI-basis ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Which Distros Install From USB/Live USB
Jun 26, 2009A friend of mine is working at a company that's getting a lot of netbooks. None of them have optical drives so USB is important. They are going to switch most of the netbooks from Windows XP to Linux. I told him that both Ubuntu and Ubuntu Netbook Remix can be used this way. He installed both to a USB Drive and what he likes is at bootup it gives the option to either run it from USB as a Live Distribution or to install it to the hard drive.
The installation would give him a way of switching them to Linux and in other cases for users who prefer Windows XP they still have the option of using a USB Flash Drive when they want to use Linux. The question: What other distributions work this way? I have looked at Fedora, CentOS, Mandriva, and OpenSUSE. Would either of these install from USB or even work as a Live Distribution from USB or even do both? Are there other distributions that would do this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Distros Appropriate For Specific Computers?
Mar 4, 2010I'm looking to install Linux on two of my home computers. Here they are, with a brief description of what they will be used for. Rig #1: main desktop: Dell Dimension, P4 3.0GHz, 2GB Ram, 128MB PCIe Video Card Currently, I have WinXP Pro installed and it is my main workhorse computer.
I would like to have a fairly full featured distro that I can test drive as an alternative to WinXP (which I use mostly for web browsing and mp3s and games... I know I may be out of luck with getting many of my games working on linux, but I can live with that). The only other caveat with this machine is that it has to work using a USB wireless network adapter. The wireless router is nearly inaccessible and too far away to plug into. And there are no wired ports in the house.
Rig #2: old computer: Celeron 850, 512MB Ram, 30GB HD, 64MB AGP Video card My really old computer that has just been sitting around collecting dust. I would like to install a fairly lightweight distro (for obvious reasons) to play around with. Maybe get some experience using linux from an admin perspective, like installing/compiling packages, running servers, etc...
I have already tried to install Linux Mint and Xubuntu on my main desktop. While both installed without any errors, neither of them was able to boot into linux. Presumably because of this bug:
bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/403408
Which seems to be a problem with Grub/Ubuntu. So I'd like to stay away from Ubuntu. So what are some distros that you guys would recommend for these two rigs, given my potential uses/limitations?
General :: How To Tell What Distros Compatible With Processor
Jul 23, 2010I have an old mini-desktop computer I want to have as a spare machine for internet browsing and checking email. It has a copy of XP currently, but the previous owner didn't put the key in so I can't get onto it at all. I plan on putting linux on it, just not sure what it can handle. It has 384 megs of RAM I believe, and the processor is a via C3, so I'm not even sure if I can run linux on it. I've checked the faqs and googled a bit, but I can't tell if it's i486, i586, or one of those things, and I'm not sure what linux distros(if any) are compatible. Will linux mint be able to run on a 900mhz processor of this sort and 384 megs of RAM? I'm thinking no, but it's the only linux distro I've dabbled with before. If not, will ubuntu? Will opensuse?
View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: ATI 5800 Drivers With Various Distros?
May 24, 2011I was using Ubuntu but changed distros recently due to Natty which I found buggy with Gnome. I just don't care for Unity. I have tried Fedora 14, Fedora 15 Beta, OpenSuse 11.4. I am leaning towards Linux Mint.
Except for Ubuntu, my ATI 5800 video card fan is running constantly. I ran the Dell diagnostic on the card. It reported the card was running correctly. It also runs correctly in Windows 7.
I am a semi-newbie and have some confusion as to which drivers to use for my card. Two questions:
Is there a a thread someone can point me to to correctly install the correct driver for any particular distro?;
Is there issues with ATI video card drivers and certain distos?
General :: Could Two Distros Share The Same /home

edit: meant to put this into Linux General, not Debian. Could anyone move it?

View 8 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Installing Multiple Distros On One Hd
Jan 19, 2010I want to install multiple distros on one hd just to get some experience with them. I'm wanting to try out different distros and DE's, so I think I'm settled on wanting to install Ubuntu, Mandriva (or PCLOS), opensuse, and Linux Mint, all on a 40GB drive, giving a little more than 10GB to one of them to use as my primary Linux OS. I also have a current XP install on another hard drive that I'd want to leave connected so GRUB will detect it (not touching it at all during OS installs).
After trying several times to get 4 (or even 3) OS' installed on one drive using one GRUB has been a pain, so it looks like I'll have to put each OS' GRUB on it's respective partition and use one OS' GRUB as a primary in the MBR. With all that being said:
1. What's the best GRUB to use? Much difference between Ubuntu 9.10's and Mint 8's?
2. I'm not worried about saving data on a separate /home partition, so could I use one swap partition and a / root for each OS (giving each one about 10GB)? Would that just mean resizing the previous install's partition and manually creating a 10GB / ?
3. I've read the GRUB 2 guide several times, and when manually adding all of the GRUB's in different partitions to the "main" GRUB, all I need to enter is the title, root entry, and possibly chainloader +1?? This is the area I need the most help in... manually adding entries to GRUB 2... not too worried about Windows because that's usually detected, just adding other distros.
