Dude I have a dell xps M1730 and an ASUS EEE PC.

 

Triple boot on the Dell:

 

Win xp (with Cygwin for ssh)

Kubuntu with Beryl

Fedora Core

 

 

what apps do you use in fedora core? i'm kinda curious...

[itikbitik]

I use fedora mostly for testing scripts. not much apps. Amarok, Firefox, Opera, Gimp, VLC

 

But my Kubuntu has GIMP, Inkscape, Blender for editing image files. MythTV because i sometimes use it to record tv shows hehehe.

for desktop linux users, I would recommend using UBUNTU.

Pag medyo advance user na, mostly Redhat or SuSe (Fedora and OpenSuSe pag free naman)

it's pretty much the same.

What Linux-HA can do now

Heartbeat currently supports a very sophisticated dependency model for n-node clusters. It is both extremely useful and quite stable at this point in time. The following types of applications are typical:

 

• Database servers
  
• ERP applications
  
• Web servers
  
• LVS director (load balancer) servers
  
• Mail servers
  
• Firewalls
  
• File servers
  
• DNS servers
  
• DHCP servers
  
• Proxy Caching servers
  
• Custom applications
  
• etc.

Good day sirs, i recently bought an Acer Aspire Laptop 4715Z (with 80gig HD)with a preinstalled Linpus Linux. i wanted to remove the Linux OS and install winXP. however, when i insert a winXP cd, it cannot detect the entire drive, only a drive with 38gig. i assumed that the other 40 gig was partitioned, so i tried FDISK from a win98 setup disk, but it cannot totally remove the partition.

 

Is there a way for me to delete the linux drive as a whole?

 

How do I go about with installing WinXP. I also tried Win Vista, still to no avail...

 

Badly needing your help masters... thanks

may paraan po if you want to remove via FDISk.

Merong portion dun to delete, i think thats number 4 option.

Otherwise try to delete via partition magic or acronis.

Download the linux livecd called partedmagic, just around 40mb: http://partedmagic.com/wiki/PartedMagic.php

if you need to remove linux from a hard drive, and have attempted to do this with the default DOS fdisk , you are having the "Partitions exists but they don't exit" problem. The best way to remove non-DOS partitions is with a tool that understands partitions other than DOS.

 

You can do this with the installation floppy by doing the following. Start the installation, select install (versus ugrade) and when it comes to partitioning the drive, choose fdisk . In fdisk type p to print out the partition numbers and remove the Linux partitions with the d command. If satisfied with the changes you have made, you can quit with a q and the changes will be saved to disk. If you deleted too much, type q and no changes will occur.

 

Once you have removed the Linux partitions, you can reboot the box with Control-Alt-Delete instead of continuing with the install.

DRDB is block device mirroring over the network, Heartbeat facilitates the failover

dunno if the following question still belongs to this thread, but i'll ask anyway... does anyone know where i can study linux systems administration and/or linux network administration? i tried inquiring from meralco institute inc (MFI) but wala pa silang sched. i also tried blue point foundation pero wala rin silang sched for total linux. total linux reload lang, which is an update course to total linux.

 

i'd really appreciate all the help. thanks in advance! :thumbsupsmiley:

 

to be honest i dont know of any school that teaches formal linux. but as a start, if you want to learn. internet is the best place. there are lots of pure linux forums out there which are quite helpful. And of course you need to have a linux machine to apply what you learn. you can get any linux free version on the web.

sumasakit na ang ulo ko... hindi ko maintindihan ang pinaguusapan...

 

pero gusto ko lang naman humingi ng tulong for an 8 gig netbook with linux as OS. Im pretty satisfied with Linux, yun lang i cant use my sun broadband plug in kit to be online anywhere. (for the broadband requirement is Windows) and i also wanted to maximize yung memory nya.

 

Any suggestions with a simple and not-so-computer-techie like me?

 

Thanks in Advance!
