General :: Where To Get The Single Packed Ubuntu Distribution Softwares
Oct 8, 2010
I am using ubuntu 10.04 and have been told the only way to install any software is by entering the command 'sudo apt-get install software_name' at the terminal, but really the command works when online I need just like windows to DOWNLOAD ONCE,SAVE AND INSTALL MANY TIMES so long as i have the same copy of the softwares without Internet intervention.

I would like to install a program (R for statistical computing). I am using Slackware. On the download page of R (The Comprehensive R Archive Network) there are options to download the code for Debian, Redhat, Suse, and Ubuntu. Which one should I download in my case (using Slackware)? Is there any of them which I should not download?

Is there a way to get the matching Linux kernel headers automatic on a regular kernel update via the Ubuntu packed manager? Every time I get a new kernel I must do an aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`

Windows I have the abbility to right click on a zipped file and see what the unpacked size would be, even without unzipping the file first. Maybe it's plugin from one of the Unzip, Untar programs I got or maybe a windows tool, I don't know. Is there something similar in Ubuntu?So here's what I want to do:I have 1000 tar files and I want to know1) the file size of the packed files (which is easy as it's just the file size now)2) the file size of the unzipped files (and I really don't want to untar all files)Is there a nice command that can give the information I need to complete task 2)?

I have a several year-old Apple computer that has the latest Mac operating system (OS X 10.6.2). I wonder what are the advantages (and disadvantages) of converting my operating system to Linux. Or simply using Linux side-by-side Mac I take it that I would be able to use Linux and Mac on a single computer -- is this assumption correct?

What does "distribution" mean? My Acer computer, on which I have linux linpus lite, comes with very little documentation and while I have a physics BA and have had exposure to technology, my knowledge of linux is just about zip. Is there a good place to start? As you can see, this question about the word "distribution" is a razor thin top of an enormous iceberg of ignorance.

I need a 64-bit Linux distribution to beta test TeraChem, a GPU-based quantum chemistry package. I have never personally used Linux, however, and I don't know anything about the available distributions. I was wondering if I could get some recommendations.
My system specifications:
CPU: Xeon W3520
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 275
Motherboard: GIGABYTE EX-58 UD5
Current OS: Windows 7 64-bit
I would not use Linux as my sole OS but would want to dual-partition (I think that is the term?). However, I think I would end up using the distribution for more than just running TeraChem. I may even become a convert!
What am I looking for in a distribution? Ease of use, efficiency, 64-bit. What do I know how to do? I can build computers, code in C++, comfortably use a command line.

I've been using and relying on linux for some time. I have even tried distributions like Arch. I was wondering what would be a good book for learning the inner workings of linux, how to write shell scripts, compile my own kernel, how to build my own distribution, things like that. I also would like to know if there is a good book for linux networking works. I want to be able to modify distributions specifically for my hardware, and have a better home net work set up.

I've used Ubuntu for about a year now and I really want to move on to a distribution that involves more hands-on customization and more cutting-edge packages (with a wide availability). I'm mainly looking at Debian Testing, openSUSE, and Fedora, but I'm open to any other suggestions. I know Debian has a huge repository of packages, and I was also wondering if there were any good third-party repositories to get significantly more packages in Fedora or openSUSE.

Where would I begin if I want to develop my own distribution? I have the kernel 2.6 downloaded, so obviously I need that. Anyone have a decent site or book I can look at? I want to use KDE/Gnome, with a GUI installer. I know a bit of C/C++, and I'll need a good, (and cheap if possible) book to brush up.

I've been trying out various variants of Ubuntu (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Linux Mint, Ultimate Ubuntu, to be specific) as well as the latest Fedora. The only thing that I can distinguish between the various distributions is the desktop environment that it uses (but some distributions, like Fedora, have multiple versions) and the software packages it comes with. But sofware can always be installed afterwards, and so can desktop environments, so what varies between the various distribution branches on a deeper level, on the things that the newbie user like me can't directly see? And is there any easy way to compile my own version of Linux?

I want to use Gentoo's packages on Fedora. Is this possible?
EDIT: I meant that I want to use Gentoo's portage tree.
UPDATE: How about Ubuntu's packages on Fedora? Or Fedora's on Gentoo? Or any other distribution's packages/package manager on another?

I bought mini-pc and I plan to install linux on it. My first choice would be the Ubuntu distribution. I plan to use it for playing videos, ssh access, network/wifi (router) and running flash (not browser, native app) files. So... linux as "firmware" for my small pc box.What distribution would you propose?

I'm learning about the process of creating a Linux Distribution. My teacher said that I need to show him how to built Linux Distro from Linux kernel - only basic level not details. I read the Linux From Scratch project. They write in details but I only need a general level to write a document.
