Using your LinuxLive USB Key. Your LinuxLive USB key should now be ready! Thank you for using LinuxLive USB Creator. Don't forget to share LiLi with your friends if you liked it :-) Before going any further, properly unplug your USB device then reconnect it. This will force Windows to check the autorun of the key and update the icon. You now have two possibilities: the first one is to boot your Linux directly in Windows (=virtualization), the second one being to boot your PC from your LinuxLive USB key.

In both methods, it is exactly the same Linux that is booted. Using your LinuxLive USB key directly within windows: Open your USB key in Windows Explorer. Virtualize_This_Key.exe: will directly launch your Linux in Windows (inside VirtualBox)VirtualBox.exe: will launch the full VirtualBox interface Be aware that persistence CAN'T be used in VirtualBox. Booting your PC from your LinuxLive USB key: Shutdown Windows and insert your USB key in one of your PC's USB port (preferably a rear one for a desktop PC). BurnCDCC 2.00a Download.

Compiling Software With Debian Linux Note: There are many sources available which cover patching and upgrading the kernel.

It involves downloading patch files or the Linux kernel source code and compiling a new kernel. This is not the best practice to follow on most Linux systems. Most distributions customize the kernel. Any such customizations would be lost if you do a generic kernel upgrade. Upgrading the kernel on your Debian system can be done easily (kind of) using the the apt package tool to install a "kernel-image" package. There is a lot of free software out there that is written for Linux/UNIX that's only available in source code format.

In Linux, the make utility handles compiling and linking. . configure is usually an extremely long and hideously complex shell script that the program's author (hopefully) generated to make your compiling experience easier.

Carlo Wood, March 2007 Table of contents Finding things If you want to find something, there are several classes of objects that you can start with. Click on the link describing what you already have. PackagesThese are the debian packages. Packages When looking for information, you normally first want to find the package name. Dpkg -l The package names are listed in the second column. Dpkg -l name Package files These are the .deb files that contain a package. Information about a package file can be obtained with the command: dpkg --info package.deb This should extract the name of this package: dpkg --info package.deb | grep '^Source: ' | sed -e 's/Source: //' Sources Sources are normally not installed.

Installed files If you have a file /path/filename installed, and you want to know what package it belongs to (if any), then issue the following command: dpkg -S /path/filename This will print name: /path/filename. Other files sudo apt-file update Then, search for the filename using, apt-file search pattern. Apt-get cheat sheet - Iceweasel. Debian Linux apt-get package management cheat sheet - Iceweasel.

Both Debian and Ubuntu Linux provides a number of package management tools. This article summaries package management command along with it usage and examples for you. apt-get : APT is acronym for Advanced Package Tool. It supports installing packages over internet using ftp or http protocols. You can also upgrade all packages in a single operations, which makes it even more attractive.dpkg : Debian packaging tool which can be use to install, query, uninstall packages. Gui tools: You can also try GUI based or high level interface to the Debian GNU/Linux package system.

Aptitude: It is a text-based interface to the Debian GNU/Linux package system.synaptic: GUI front end for APT Red hat Linux package names generally end in .rpm, similarly Debian package names end in .deb, for example: apache_1.3.31-6_i386.deb Where, Remember whenever I refer .deb file it signifies complete file name, and whenever I refer package name it must be first part of .deb file.

What is the default root password? | USB Pen Drive Linux - Iceweasel (Private Browsing) Setting the default root password: Some Live Linux distributions are created without a root password by default (the root account is inactive). This is particularly true with Debian based distributions like Ubuntu. Setting a root password enables us to access some essential tools such as the synaptic installer. In most cases, having no root password is fine when your running from a Live CD and don't need to do administration tasks, make changes or install additional packages. But for those of us who do want to make administrative changes and save them back to a USB device or local storage device on for example a properly created "casper-rw" partition. How to set the default root password: This process is known to work on most Debian based LIVE distributions like Ubuntu or Pendrivelinux releases previous to Pendrivelinux 2008. Open up a terminal and type sudo passwd rootFollow the onscreen instructions to set and confirm your new password.

Debian-User: [SOLVED] Re: How to move debian from one drive to another and keep it working? Security-Enhanced Linux. As part of its Information Assurance mission, the National Security Agency has long been involved with the computer security research community in investigating a wide range of computer security topics including operating system security. Recognizing the critical role of operating system security mechanisms in supporting security at higher levels, researchers from NSA's Trusted Systems Research Group, formerly the National Information Assurance Research Laboratory, have been investigating an architecture that can provide the necessary security functionality in a manner that can meet the security needs of a wide range of computing environments. End systems must be able to enforce the separation of information based on confidentiality and integrity requirements to provide system security.

Operating system security mechanisms are the foundation for ensuring such separation. This work is not intended as a complete security solution.

Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP - Windows 7 Forums - Iceweasel. Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. - Iceweasel. Although Fedora was formally unveiled only in September 2004, its origins effectively date back to 1995 when it was launched by two Linux visionaries -- Bob Young and Marc Ewing -- under the name of Red Hat Linux. The company's first product, Red Hat Linux 1.0 "Mother's Day", was released in the same year and was quickly followed by several bug-fix updates. In 1997, Red Hat introduced its revolutionary RPM package management system with dependency resolution and other advanced features which greatly contributed to the distribution's rapid rise in popularity and its overtaking of Slackware Linux as the most widely-used Linux distribution in the world. In later years, Red Hat standardised on a regular, 6-month release schedule.

In 2003, just after the release of Red Hat Linux 9, the company introduced some radical changes to its product line-up. Recent versions of Fedora have introduced a new flavour of the distribution called Atomic Host. Fedora. Why doesn't Linux need defragmenting? - Iceweasel. . . . That is a question that crops up with regularity on Linux forums when new users are unable to find the defrag tool on their shiny new desktop. Here's my attempt at giving a simple, non-technical answer as to why some filesystems suffer more from fragmenting than others. Rather than simply stumble through lots of dry technical explanations, I'm opting to consider that an ASCII picture is worth a thousand words. Here, therefore, is the picture I shall be using to explain the whole thing: This is a representation of a (very small) hard drive, as yet completely empty - Hence all the zeros. We shall begin with a simple filesystem of a sort that most users are familiar with: One that will need defragmenting occasionally.

We add a file to our filesystem, and our hard drive now looks like this: (Empty rows g-z ommitted for clarity) To explain what you see: The first four rows of the disk are given over for a "Table of contents", or TOC. So far so good? To illustrate: Here is approach one. Create / modify keyboard shortcuts in Gnome under Linux / UNIX - Iceweasel. Q. I’m using Ubuntu Linux and I’d like to create or modify keyboard shortcuts in Gnome desktop system?

How do I do it? A. You need to use GConf-Editor or gnome keyboard shortcut tool. GConf-Editor is a tool used for editing the GConf configuration database. It might be useful when the proper configuration utility for some software provides no way of changing some option. The main window consists of a tree showing the GConf configuration database hierarchy, a list of the keys available, and documentation for the selected key. Easy to use - Keyboard Shortcuts tool Use the Keyboard Shortcuts preference tool to customize the default keyboard shortcuts to your requirements. Click on System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts to launch the application and view the preconfigured shortcuts. To edit a keyboard shortcut, perform the following steps: Click the action in the list. Advance keyboard shortcuts tool - gconf-editor (GConf-Editor) Run gconf-editor. Creating global keyboard shortcuts in GNOME - Iceweasel.

Posted by Steve on Mon 11 Aug 2008 at 11:09 The GNOME desktop environment is the default for Debian etch, and is one that I use every day. One thing that I always have a hard time remembering is how to setup global keyboard shortcuts, so this quick guide will document the process. There is a simple applet (reached via the menu "Desktop | Preferences | Keyboard Shortcuts") which allows you to specify which keys should be used for common activities.

Using the applet you can, for example, setup the keybinding Ctrl-Alt-t to run a terminal. However the list of actions is static, and it isn't possible to add a new command there. If you wish to bind Ctrl-Alt-e to launching emacs you're out of luck - to do this you must use the gconf-editor . Launch the editor by opening a terminal and running: skx@pies:~$ gconf-editor Using the gconf-editor we will need to do two things: Define a new command.
