General :: What Is The Difference Between Red Hat And Ubuntu

Feb 9, 2010

what is the difference between Red Hat and Ubuntu and where can I find information about using Linux as an OS?

I'd also like to learn about the pros and cons of using Linux and again if someone can give me directions to a useful source of information, I'll be happy with that. (might even get back into writing code!)

I'd like to find out how to ensure I load the correct drivers for my laptop and where I can find these.

I suppose I could buy a Linux for Dummies book but I suspect that is aimed at writing code which is not what I want to do (at least, initially).

df -k

21G used[code].....

The 3.4G is correct because we have removed all non essential file but free space reported by df is not consistent with the actual free space that should be there.

General :: Difference Between /dev/hdc And /dev/sr0, /dev/cdrom

Apr 19, 2011

I created 2 virtual machines with VMware Workstation 7. They have identical hardwares. One guest is CentOS 5.6, another is Mandriva 2011.
When I try to mount the cdrom in guest OS, in CentOS, I should execute

mount /dev/hdc /path/to/mount

in Mandriva, I should execute

mount /dev/sr0 /path/to/mount

I also remebered in some other Linux variant, I had to use

mount /dev/cdrom /path/to/mount

What's the difference between hdc, sr0 or cdrom? Is there a consistent way to mount cdrom in all Linux variants?
