How Many Distros On One Machine

Want to format a 1 TB Western Digital drive in an old dell 32 bit machine. Machine has Lubuntu installed and a Virtual machine on which which is loaded Windows 7 (32 bit).

Machine does not "see" the new 1 TB (SATA) drive after I physically install it in the machine.

I have other windows and Linux machines. I have some drive cradles in which I can connect to (windows) USB ports.

Is it possible to use the old Dell machine to format the new drive?

(It appears that this question has been answered before. So I will check those materials as well.)

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi,

I have a CentOS 6 machine [Machine X], which I connect to using a putty client or from another CentOS 6 machine.

Now, the machine X intermittently sends a connection reset message to all SSH sessions -

Code:

Read from remote host 1.1.1.1: Connection reset by peer
Connection to 1.1.1.1 closed.

I have switched off the firewall on the machine & there are no session timeout values set.

How do I find out what is causing this issue?


Thanks

One thing i love about Linux is the many different distros! And today i decided to spend a a little on a new lesser expensive laptop to dual boot Ubuntu and Kali.. No Windows at all on that machine. I have an outlook web access account for any microsoft needs. The new machine should be here by the weekend! Cant wait to get it all installed. Im doing it this way to force my hand to use it more often. I am also in school for InfoSec so it makes sense to me. Ubuntu is traditional it seems while kali is the pen-testing king

Any suggestions? Oradvice?

Amazon's chat person says Prime Video will work with Ubuntu 8.04 but I'm using 15.04 and the Ubuntu website is of no help with past distros. Is Amazon lazy or Ubuntu is really a time machine into the future?

Hi guys

We are trying to move Oracle applications database tier archive, that is 111GB (over Linux) to a USB external drive using cp. Though the file successfully gets transferred to the external drive, trying to extract the file from a 2nd machine always fails, saying the archive is corrupt.
We have checked the integrity of the archive using 7-zip, reporting no errors. However totally frustrated as our last few attempts were totally futile.

The interesting part is, if we do scp to transfer the file to 2nd machine, extraction doesn't fail.

Please let us know, how we can successfully move this archive to the 2nd machine which is at a remote location and no possibilities of setting up a FTP for such a huge size file.

Both the source and destination Linux distros are RHEL 5 Enterprise, 64Bit, ext3 file systems.

Hi,
After a long time of about 5 months without my PC and Win7 which I havent had the time to really check out whats wrong with / I am back on a slow laptop with 256 of RAM, PIIIM on 1113MHz which I had for years, and tried out a few lighweight distros after getting rid of Win XP.
Now, I am running on anti x which I found to be a great OS, speedwise as it could be on such a slow machine.
My problem though is I forgot my root pass and my user pass which seem to be different from each other because I remember I could use terminal to update but not the antix Control Center which keeps asking me for a different pass. Any help in getting the both back so I wouldn't have to re-install and before doing a re-install doing a backup?

It's a pain in the ass, since I basically use(d) this laptop for writing, and there are files of plenty.

Ty in advance.

Cheers and good luck!

Hello. I am an absolute beginner with Linux and would appreciate a bit of hand holding. I am building a small computer for use with Ham radio applications and have never used Linux before.

I have downloaded a Ubuntu build onto a wintel machine and created a cd. The drive in the PC is a CCD an I have only ever used one on a windows machine and then I didn't install it.

Can someone guide me as to :

1) how I should format or in some other way prepare the SSd for the installation of Linux
2) tell me anything I should be aware of in installing Linux to the SSD
3) anything I should watch out for in using the SSd with Linux.

That last one may seem silly but I have been warned never to defrag on the Wintel machine as it will damage the SSD.

I look forward to any help / advice that you may have.

Best regards

Pls give me a solve.its give me pain

Hi guys, as I wait for my refurb to arrive to install Linux I have been doing a lot of research. I said in a previous post that I needed a cheap pc to install Linux that will run at least as fast as a Mac or pc. I have been doing some research and I want to know if anyone has used the evolve so distro, the sparkylinux distro or the korora Distro.

It seems to me that these will be perfect Linux light distros to run on an old machine.... Or am I sadly mistaken?
Thanks
