    [SOLVED] Re: httpd service not availble

    I believe in Ubuntu the service is called 'apache2'. Other said methods work but you could also:

    Thanks everybody. I think I'm starting to learn towards XFCE since it uses the GTK+ library which is what most of my preferred applications run on and use. It also has more of a GNOME feel to it. I...

    [other] What Desktop Enviroment Should I use?

    So I've been a fan of GNOME 2 for quite a while, however after trying pretty hard to take a liking to GNOME 3 in distros such as Fedora 16, it's not for me. I'm not trying to start a holy war or...

    [xubuntu] Re: creating iso of system

    .iso is for optical disks. If you want a bit for bit backup run dd on the partition in question then compress it.


    dd if=/dev/sda1 of=backup.img

    [ubuntu] Re: Difficult Question

    Look up the dd command. You can copy your hardrive bit for bit into a file.


    dd if=/dev/<parition> of=test.img bs=1024k count=10

    That should copy the first 10MB of your hardrive. You can then...

    This wasn't pre-installed at all. I've honestly never ran into that 100MB partition xD. I'm using Ultimate edition, might be something Home Basic does or something like that.

    Re: Run it with Windows

    I wasn't disagreeing, only explaining as to why and where he would see those marginal slowdowns.

    Seriously though I suggest installing it on it's own partition. It's more "clean" that way.

    Re: win7 question

    Never happens to me. Upon doing some research it would appear that it is a boot partition. I wonder if it uses a faster version of NTFS without journaling or something.

    [all variants] Re: wipe disc quickly

    If you want your data gone for GOOD use that dd command. It has to manually set each bit on that harddisk to a 0. A bit for bit copy of a hardrive using 'dd' can hold up in court.

    This is just plain false. I don't believe you can even do that with Windows. You need 1 ~40GB NTFS partition.
