| | [/tab]Do you guys know that IBM has successfully managed to put Linux on a Wrist Watch to prove the fact that Linux can be scaled down to such a huge extent. Their first working prototype has even been ready and put up for display for a long time.

Haha, really... what's the point of having DOS on a wrist watch haha... Get Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, or Sam and Max Hit the Road... but the screen would be too small to read the text  I think it's cool though how small they've been able to get things. Brings back hopes from my childhood to one day get a watch like DickTracy's

Linux Partitioning Guide (new Users)
A very basic guide to partitioning in linux designed for new users (1) QUOTE Partitioning Guide This guide is designed for users New to Linux. 1. All Linux users
run as just that 'a user'. If you are moving from Windows it is most likely that you ran
Windows as an 'Administrator' (root). In Linux, any task which alters the Operating System
(OS) of a Linux distro requires 'root' privileges. You will need the 'root' password
to do this. Basically, this gives you temporary access to the core of your OS. This is what makes
Linux far more secure than Windows. 1. That being said you will now understan....

[c/c++][linux] Linking With A -l Is Static Or Dynamic?
How will it effect distribution and portability? (0) It has been a long time since I coded in C/C++ and I can't seem to remember the exact mechanism
of linking. Say, I compiled and linked the source code given at SQLite quickstart guide (C
example in Write Programs That Use SQLite ) in Linux(Ubuntu) environment: g++ -o"SQLiteTest"
./sqlitetest.o -lsqlite3 It gives me a nice executable SQLiteTest and I can use it on my

statically packaged into SQLiteTest? or is it dynamically linked and the recipient of the prog....

Choice Of Motherboard For Linux Virtualization
Who knows which ones work well? (5) Virtualization is a relatively arcane subject, but it is one which is very rapidly growing, and
apparently very "hot" in commercial enterprises. For the hobbyist with multiple computers (I have

operating systems, and transferring some or all of them onto a single computer platform. First, it
saves energy. Second, once the conversion has been made from real hardware to a virtual "guest,"
the driver problems associated with moving from one hardware platform to another are sol....

My Review And Experiance Of Ubuntu Linux
(4) I have been using Ubuntu 7.10 for about a month now. My experiance began when I sent a request for a
free CD to be mailed to me. Several weeks later, it arrived, however I was reluctant at first to
install it, as there was much hassle when I attempted to install my BCM43xx wireless network drivers
for another distro, Suse. Although I had ran a server on Linux for a while previously, it was easy
to do as Linux automatically detected the wireless network card I was using. This was on an older
computer that I ran the server. On my current pc, a Dell Inspiron 1300 Laptop, a ....
Sandisk Memory Card Write Protection
watch out for that lock switch (13) About a year ago I bought a pocket drive that you put a memory card into and then plug into a usb

memory card into my camera and took pictures on it and at the same time use it as a flash drive to
store other computer files. Everything was going fine until one day I plugged it into my pocket
drive and tried to put a text file onto the card to give to a friend. A message came up "Access

interesting facts about the devious ways in which Microsoft is trying to derail Linux, most recently

What Made You Switch To Linux?
(61) I first tried Linux a few years ago, not because I was completely against Windows or anything like
that, but just because I had some free time on my hands. I started off with Mandrake 9.0 which was
very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn'....
