Guest Leviticus Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Mga sir help naman sa mga command sa DOS Mode... sa Ubuntu linux.... nsa DOS mode palang po ako bali na install kuna yong Ubuntu.. nakakapag login na ko kasu hanggang don palang... step by step.. paunti unti.... pano gagawin.. thanks po mga sir...DOS mode? are you planning on doing a DOS emulation to run on linux? or are you referring to the shell command prompt? Take note that there is a difference between shell command prompt and the X terminal window. hehe.. this is basic windows vs linux dilemma. usually when you are in windows bihira mo na binubuksan ang DOS command prompt, unless of course you're a system administrator. in linux you will ALWAYS perform shell commands. but in the case of UBUNTU.. i don't think you need to enter the terminal window. besides, they have nice GUI in their last distro release. also, better not attempt to do it because newbie ka pa lang; you might accidentally tweak something or worse, erase the whole drive.

heightdeprived Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 In most cases, your laptop uses a WinModem. These types of modem require the use of Window's based device driver (which is not found in Linux) to work. There are many projects out there on how to get a winmodem working on a ubuntu based system. I suggest that you do a search in their support forums. And there is actually a pinoy based thread. if you found nothing, try googling for it, I used to encounter the same problem before some hardware providers supply LInux drivers for their PCI modems while some don't, while there are also ones available for a fee. Back then I found a winmodem driver for an Conexant PCI modem, kaya lang free version unlimited use pero hanggang 14.4 kbps lang siya... Quote Link to comment
heightdeprived Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Been using Linux since the release or Redhat 6.0. Been using it mostly for server applications. It's indeed a good desktop replacement for Windows. Linux has come a long way. But still using Windows as my primary OS at home coz I'm not the only one using my PC. maybe if I buy a second PC and use it by myself I can use Linux as my desktop OS and totally ditch Windows. I was able to ditch windows and boot my PC solely with Linux and my sisters were able to adapt on it, while my father has been able to play music in it and shut it down, and my sister's experience with using desktop Linux has even became a plus in her resume...

makubex Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 to begin with, its not called DOS mode. The proper term is 'terminal console' welcome sa mundo namin Quote Link to comment

Guest Leviticus Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hey.. OpenSuse 10.2 is already out. Tried it here at the office. What can I say, it's an improvement from 10.1. However, some programs that ran in 10.1 doesn't run on 10.2 like nvu editor oh well, hintay na lang ako until nvu will release a new version. Until then, I'm back to good old 10.1. oo nga pala, the graphics and GUI were awesome in 10.2 :cool: some reviews mentioned that it is comparable to vista (I wouldn't know cause never pa ako nakakita ng vista; although I heard that vista is buggy?) good platform to start ang Suse and Ubuntu. Both have good sides and bad sides. that's the beauty of linux. you can install as much linux as you want until you find the distro that is for you unlike sa windoze :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Guest Leviticus Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 i'm testing opensuse10.2 din now sa isang box. i really like suse's yast tool.i'm planning on using this for my primary work box, palitan ko na yung ubuntu. there's something that feels really wrong when i'm using ubuntu, i just can't put my hands on what it is. kung di ko na-test 'tong opensuse10.2 i would've gone back to centos or slackware.ahehe.. meron pala ako kaparehas. Before I tried out may distros: redhat, fedora, bayanihan, CentOS, Gentoo, Mandriva/Mandrake, and ubuntu. Yup, there was something I can't put my finger on ubuntu. When I tried it, it was too easy and "user-friendly" for me to the point that I was lookiing for a catch somewhere. Hindi lang ako nasiyahan that much with ubuntu, until i tried Suse. Now Suse ang gamit ko para sa work :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
dee_oh_em Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 been playing around, experimenting, using it for quite a while (since '99). i use it for work, mental sustenance, and for enjoyment. i have tried different distros, and also developed our own distro for our machines at work Quote Link to comment
hamie Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Nasubukan ko na din yang Linux. Nababagot ako sa Windows noon kaya tinry ko. Caldera OpenLinux ang una kong sinubukan. Tapos Slackware, then Red Hat. Sinubukan ko din yung Fedora Project, pati Mandrake, pati Lycoris.. ang last na tinry ko eh yung Gentoo.. Oks naman gamitin ang linux eh, nung mga time lang na sinubukan ko, hindi pa masyado oks ang WINE. Kaya balik Windows ako. Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 hey... Suse 10.2 supports RAID partitioning hanep sa olryt. something new for me to learn :cool: Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 bumalik ulit ako sa ubuntu. decided to give it one last chance.balik ka na ng suse 10.2, RAID is very interesting! imagine, two physical HDD running in sync with each other or one HDD mirroring the other (something like a backup system but is primarily not). It depends on the RAID level. One thing that got me interested is the RAID zero (0) level. medyo mahirap ma-gets ang description but eventually I think I got the gist of it. Imagine two hard disks running in sync to create one (1) virtual drive. the best to my understanding; in windows when you have two hard disks, when the primary hard disk only has little disk space, let's say about 5 Mb remaining and then you have a 10 Mb file, you can't cut the 10 Mb file to fit the remaining disk space in the primary disk while the remaining 5 Mb of the file will be stored in the secondary HDD. with RAID 0 you can do that fascinating isn't it?

businessgeeks Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 can i start off with a pentium 3 laptop for my linux adventure? i will refortmat and start it clean. then what's next? where can i find a step by step 'how to' to kick off my linux adventure. which flavor is best for a fortysomething linux adventurer? whew that is scary! that means i got to have the right stuff and install them and then learn quick to get back to MTC. yaiks! that's how it is going to be! new year means new beginning and new adventure. this newbie bows to all the gurus in this thread! i backread several pages and i found very very good stuff! my hats off to all of you guys keep it coming! Im actually using a P3 system. And ubuntu edgy eft simply flies on the system. after a few modificatoins of course. :mtc: Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 dude, raid is not enough incentive, matagal ko na ginagawa yan sa servers. bow ako sa iyo :boo: I implemented it yesterday and worked out fine (after a few hours of reading and research ) I guess layman users won't appreciate these little things and the effort we put in learning about linux.
