But remember that Linux doesn't have write access to ntfs partitions. PS: Writing to NTFS is not enabled by default in linux distro's, as its not considered fully stable yet. You could use something like Captive NTFS. However, I suggest that you use a tool like explore2fs to copy the files from the linux partitions to windows, from within windows. < Post Edited as per request > Edited September 15, 2005 by Vishal Gupta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kagashe 1 Report post Posted October 13, 2005 Hi, Ubuntu 5.10. released today: http://www.ubuntu.com/newsitems/release510 You can dowload from the link above or order free CDs from here: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu comes with Gnome desktop if you like KDE you can download Kubuntu: http://www.kubuntu.org/ Edubuntu is a partner distribution based on Ubuntu that is specially focused on the needs of schools: http://www.edubuntu.org/ Ubuntu for servers is a CD installer specifically optimised for server installation: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/ Major new features in Ubuntu 5.10 * Thin Client Integration: Ubuntu is the first distribution in the world to include deeply-integrated thin client technology. This allows you to deploy Ubuntu in large scale networked environments or, for example, in classrooms, with a lightweight Ubuntu image booting over the network. All Ubuntu management tools work for the thin client image as well as for the server. * OEM Installer Support This release of Ubuntu has special support for OEM hardware vendors. Ubuntu can be pre-installed and tested without configuring end user information. The user will be asked to complete that configuration (name, timezone and password) upon first startup. * Launchpad Integration Launchpad.net is the new infrastructure that Ubuntu and its derivatives use for translation, bug tracking, sharing code patches, fixes and technical support. Users of Ubuntu 5.10 can make technical support requests for any package in Ubuntu, and can help to translate their software, directly from the built-in Help menu in every desktop application. To see it all, you'll need to try the CD, but the highlights of Ubuntu itself include: On the Desktop * GNOME 2.12.1 * OpenOffice.org 2.0 beta 2 * X.org 6.8.2 with wider hardware support * An enhanced tool for easily installing new applications (see "Add Applications" on the Applications menu) * A new tool which makes it easy to install support for multiple languages (Language Selector) * Editable GNOME menus * Applications are now linked into the Launchpad infrastructure (new entries on the Help menus for translation and support) * Support for writing audio CDs (Serpentine) * Graphical startup process with progress bar (USplash) * New documentation (Ubuntu 5.10 Quick Tour and Ubuntu 5.10 FAQ Guide) * Language packs with updates from the Rosetta translation platform, part of Launchpad.net, which makes contributing translations easy for everybody in any language. On the Server * Kernel support for cluster filesystems (OCFS2 and GFS) * Plone 2.1 & Zope 2.8.1 * PHP5 * Support for automatic storage allocation into LVM volumes * Built-in thin client functionality produced in cooperation with the LTSP project * Simple NFS root setup with automatic hardware detection through initramfs-tools * Support for up to 4 gigabytes of RAM by default on 32-bit architectures Hardware Support Improvements * Linux 2.6.12.6 with many updated drivers from third parties * Further enhancements to laptop support (hot keys, and working suspend/resume on more models) * HP all-in-one printer/scanner devices are supported out of the box * Bluetooth input devices (such as keyboards and mice) are supported out of the box * Multiple audio devices are handled more gracefully (and one can easily select the default device) * 64-bit PowerPC kernel available Installation * A new OEM mode to simplify the process of preinstalling Ubuntu on computers for resale or redistribution * Automatically makes existing hard drive partitions available to the desktop * Simple "dual boot" configuration with automatic resizing of an existing installed OS * The second stage of the installation now has a progress bar "Under the hood" * GCC 4.0.1 * glibc 2.3.5 * New early userspace infrastructure based on initramfs-tools * More modular X.org packaging * Python 2.4.2 As always, Ubuntu includes the very best of the 100% free/libre application software world, and each new release incorporates countless new features and bugfixes from the global development community. kagashe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kagashe 1 Report post Posted November 27, 2005 Hi, I upgraded from Ubuntu Hoary to Breezy. It was not exactly an "upgrade". I installed Breezy on the partition which had Hoary. You can read the details on my blog. I had used free CDs for the upgrade so I could download "kde" without exceeding 1 GB quota of RConnect freedom plan. Now I am logging to any of the 3 desktops on Ubuntu kde, gnome and xfce. It is fun. I am also learning to configure kde and gnome to use less resources since I have only 128 MB RAM. I find the new Open Office faster than the old version. By the way I am grand father now. You can read about it on my other blog. kagashe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dacodecz 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 do we have any software for linux as DUMETER in windows for recording data usage.if yes plz tell. Hi, One of the easiest GUI based solution could be gkrellm { http://gkrellm.net }. Most probably your linux distro have installed it by default so navigate the menu and fire it up. You would need to configure it before using, read the on-line docs or man page of gkrellm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
