How to Use Clonezilla - Tutorial In past I have written articles describing differences between Clonezilla SE and CLonezilla Live and how to setup a Clonezilla server.

Inkscape Tutorial: Spiro Swirls | Vectors It took a long wait, but Inkscape 0.47 was released on 24 November 2009.

This tutorial assumes no prior Inkscape knowledge, so it may be a tat slow if you are already familiar with Inkscape's interface and the more advanced features such as the path editor. I know...

CÓMO optimizar Ubuntu GNU/Linux para sistemas de escritorio v. 0.3 1. Introducción La configuración que trae por defecto Ubuntu GNU/Linux es perfectamente estable y segura. Sin embargo, es posible realizar pequeños ajustes que optimicen el uso de los recursos para tener un sistema de escritorio más ágil. No voy a entrar en valoraciones sobre si tal o cuál valor en este o aquel parámetro es mejor o peor. Sólo mencionaré que después de aplicar todo lo escrito aquí se obtiene una mejora en el rendimiento y la respuesta del sistema (no la he medido con ningún programa, se nota a simple vista). Los cambios que voy a proponer son aplicables con pequeños cambios a cualquier distribución GNU/Linux que queramos usar en nuestro escritorio. 2. 2.1 Swappiness Por defecto, en la rama 2.6, el núcleo de linux tiene este valor a un 60% (en la rama 2.4 no existe). - Consultamos el valor inicial: "sudo cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness". - Probamos cómo responde el sistema al bajar el valor: "sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=10". 2.2 Consolas virtuales 2.3 Xorg 2.4 Cambiar el núcleo
