Learn Linux Chapter 18 of 40

Posted on January 26, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

Series of videos that walk you through what Linux is, how to get it, try it out in Live CD mode, install it as a dual-boot operating system with Windows, and how to use it, including how to set up the most common applications such as email and instant messaging. The benefit of this demonstration video is that it is a real world recording that takes you through all the steps, so you can later follow along to try out Linux yourself as a Live CD. If you decide you want to install Linux as a dual-boot operating system with Windows, (meaning when your computer starts, you are presented with a menu choice to run Linux or Windows) you are shown how to install Linux. Linux was installed for free using the steps performed in this video. Linux is all about choice, and the best way to decide if Linux is right for you, is to try it out. site: tomlinux.ca

What should I use to replace KNOPPIX 5.1.1 as my Linux-based bootable repair CD?

Posted on June 25, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I repair Windows machines often with KNOPPIX; it’s the easiest way for me to get a clean OS running so I can blow away viruses. However, KNOPPIX 5.1.1 shows its age, as it failed to work on a computer I recently went to service due to the computer being “too new.” KNOPPIX 5.2 is a DVD-only release and so is not particularly useful to me. I’m also looking for a USB-based self-contained Linux. The problem is that the number of choices are staggering: SLAX, DSL, MEPIS…it’s hard to pick one. I’d be primarily using it for command-prompt-based repairs on Windows machines, but I’d need X11 and a browser like Firefox available as well. Having ntfsprogs and ntfs-3g are crucial, and having the “dd_rescue” command would be a very good thing as well. Failing all this, having a guide to rolling my own would be a nice thing to have. I’ll be booting this on anything from a Pentium II to a brand new Core 2 Duo, so a RECENT kernel and drivers is fairly vital.

So, what “live” distros should I check out in my search? And please don’t say “Ubuntu.” It’s the worst Linux distro I’ve ever seen in my life, and horribly slow on top of all that.
