General :: Installing Code For One Distribution To Another Distribution?
Mar 5, 2009I 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?

Jan 10, 2010What 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.

Feb 5, 2010My company has over 230 servers in the field (running Windoze Server 2003 with cygwin). I frequently write small admin utilities (in Bash or Java) and need to deploy them (new and updates) to all of the servers over ssh. I run Ubuntu (9.10) on my laptop (don't ask about the Windoze servers -- it was NOT my decision).

Nov 13, 2010I just bought a computer from a company that was having a fire sale. Anyway I figured that I'd give Ubuntu another shot. I installed 10.10 yesterday without any real idea of what was in the box.Is this the right distro for this box? I'm not sure if the distro is 64 bit. There's an AMD64 version, but is that only for AMD chips? How do I tell if I'm running a 64 bit or 32 bit distro?

Mar 18, 2011I have an old copy of Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 in a virtual machine that I haven't used in a long time. I want to update the distribution to the latest but I'm not seeing an option to do so under the upgrade manager or the synaptic package manager. When I attempt to refresh my package information I get an error message talking about how the repository is no longer valid. I've even tried to open the terminal and type: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and it doesn't do anything.

Jan 31, 2010I 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.

General :: How To Build Own Distribution
Mar 10, 2010I'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.

Dec 13, 2010I'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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: How To Decide On A Distribution
Jun 21, 2011I'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?
View 14 Replies View RelatedServer :: Choosing A Distribution For NAS?
Jan 15, 2010I'm planning to build a NAS using spare bits of PC. I'm hoping to run the OS from a CF card. I want the machine to host music and also general files. I'm planning to install TwonkyMedia Server for the music.
1. I'd like to choose a small distribution, but one that is easy for me to deploy and manage (I'm new to Linux, but I am an IT professional). What shall I use?
2. I'd like to understand the implications of using Compact Flash. Will the OS need to write to disk? Can I configure my installation so that the CF card is read-only and provide a small writeable partition on my hard drive for any required IO? Should I not bother, and put it all on HD? (My motivation for using CF was to limit power-consumption/noise/heat).
Software :: Mod The Installer From One Distribution To Another?
Mar 30, 2010Is it possible to mod the installer from one distribution to another? For instance i prefer Mandrake's or Pardus's installer's partitioners to Debian's. They are graphical and seem to be more intuitive to me. I've reading up on Linux installers, and I think it would be really cool to could create a mash up of sorts, take the best of installers from each distro and make a new one. Or maybe port(there must be a better word), your favorite installer onto your favorite distribution. Imagine installing Debain via YALI
I know it'll take a lot of work, YALI is made using Python and Qt, d-i uses Gtk (for the graphical frontend to cdebconf). Besides, installers are among the most critical components in the whole setup, i mean a broken installer would mean lots of work for the users and consequently for the dev community. Plus the package management systems differ from distribution to distribution. I guess i am looking for thoughts on this, this isn't exactly a standard question

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Customize The Installation For Distribution?
Jan 17, 2010How to customize the Ubuntu Installation for your Distribution - TUTORIAL I have looked a lot in almost every page in Ubuntu, Google and some other Linux Distributions Forums, Help Guides and Tutorials, and have never been able to customize, or even find a valuable source on customzing the Ubuntu Installation, also known as Ubiquity. Now if you are planning on creating a LiveCD or Ubuntu-based Distribution using Remastersys or some program like that, then you will love this tutorial, as do I. First of all, make sure you have Ubiquity installed.Quickly goto Synaptic now, and check. Once you have that, go inside a terminal and type sudo nautilus.Then goto /usr/share/ubiquity. You will see some system files which I will now mention again in this tutorial for the sake of my tiredness.
Here you will see the images that are presented when you select your region in the installation process. You may customize it, but I hardly recemmond it as the areas I tell you to customize are far more rewarding. Now, just go inside the "ubuntu" folder and see the "logo.png". Customize it to have your own Logo and Distribution Name. After you finish that come out of it, all the way back to /usr/share. Now we go inside the big area, where we customize a LOT. Go inside "Ubiquity-Slideshow" folder. In this folder you will see the images and text that pop up during the installation of Ubuntu. Do you remember?
Now just go into Slides/icons and here you will see the beautiful icons of all the slides. You may notice the extroadinary graphics and input the Ubuntu team has put into most of these, and so I have decided not to customize this, but you can surely go ahead. However, for legal sake, I had to customize the logo which I have changed it to be mine (that is I deleted the Ubuntu logo and replaced it with a High-Quality version of my logo). Once you feel you have done enough, please go out of that folder and scroll straight down to customize the writing on the slides in the installation.
Here you will see 13 .html files. HTML is simple, you do not have to know anything in HTML to customize these files, however you must understand to not go out of the boundaries. Stay in the templates, because saying too much will look un-Professional and dodgy when it comes to size issues. I prefer Cutting huge paragraphs of writing in between the "" and starting to type about the subject in My Distributions way. Making sure that I do not exceed the previous 3-4 sentence that Ubuntu already had. Ok, to customize these .html files I will quickly show you one of them and customize it before I fall asleep on my keyboard. Right-click "accessibility.html". Click OPEN WITH and select GEDIT.
You will see something like this, however where it says Gosalia, that is my operating system, it used to say Ubuntu. CAUTION - Do not copy my work, there will be severe consequences, considering I took 5 minutes to write it and the rough work your Operating System installation will look...

Enjoy, do this to all of them remembering to only write in between the <li> and the </li> Remember one thing, where it says "UBUNTU" you can change it, unless it is a file name, then DON'T CHANGE IT! Oh yes, and now when you create your ISO with Remastersys (or equivalent) then you will have your customized Installation ready in the LIVECD process, check it out! It worked for me, and it is spectacular. Making a Video about this now...
