I have a HP mini netbook with 1 gb of RAM and a single core atom processor. Is there an ultra light weight version of fedora that will run on this or should I use something else? submitted by NSAthrowaway123456 [link] [5 comments]

Cannot get full screen when installing Mint inside VMWare

posted 1 day ago on reddit

When I install Mint on my VMWare (fully up to date), the OS only occupies a small portion in the center of the screen. I am able to view the entire desktop, although it doesn not occupy my entire screen. Any ideas? Thanks. submitted by CognitiveJots [link] [comment]

I've got a system that has 2 120GB SSDs. But when looking at how they're split up I'm confused. Help? :)

Just recently got a system that I'm using for some hosting. 2 120GB SSDs. In my past experiences, I can just use df -h and that'll tell me everything I need to know. Now... I have no idea what I'm seeing. Right now, I'm just wondering if a couple people here could help me make sense of the output that I'm seeing. http://pastebin.com/VT2JKtsZ One of the main things that's confusing me is I don't understand why there's so many /dev/root's. Do I have 100GB of space to use? Is it split up between a large number of partitions so it can't spill over? Is it just an odd way to display? I simply do not know. submitted by Lambz [link] [1 comment]

If mdadm is still assembling a device and hasn't finished yet, can I still shutdown/reboot as normal? How about writing to it /dev/md/raiddevice) already?

Virtualization question: when will sharing (or easy switching) of a single graphics card between host and guest become a reality?

posted 1 day ago on reddit

Not sure if this is the best place for this post, but it's something I presume a number of Linux users are curious about, so /r/linux it is. I like to run Linux in a VM under Windows, but find the lack of graphics acceleration bothersome. I've seen various videos and mentions of PCIe passthrough (where a graphics card can be dedicated to a guest OS), but AFAIK it requires having at least two GPUs — one for the host, one for the guest. How far away from we from being able to "disconnect" the GPU from the host and "attach" it to the guest? Or even better, share a single GPU simultaneously between host and guest? submitted by wabbiteh [link] [comment]

Can I install a distro on an external HDD and boot from USB on different machines?

posted 1 day ago on reddit

I just launched crunchbang live from usb, my first experimenting with linux aside from my limited userdel/useradd/usermod stuff at work. I love it, and want to fiddle around with it at work and home, but don't want to dual boot or run VMs on my laptops or PCs yet. Is this possible? submitted by snowden4prez [link] [2 comments]

Went to find a photo fix-it app and HOLY SHI* app called "Raw Therapee" fixed me up. Works well, easy to use, which is good since I am an idiot.

Read some posts here from past development period of this app 3-5 years ago. Apparently it has improved a lot and is now available for Win-dicks and Apple, too. I shoot with old DSLR through glass and this app fixes all the color saturation problems I have had. It is like having a new camera since I already have good detail and depth of field. Great!! Thanks "Raw Therapee." submitted by 1010111000 [link] [comment]
