Re: [fsug-tvm] best os
You should bitch at Intel. Guys should understand that it is not the OS but the licensing by particular vendors that makes driver integration difficult. I use nvidia chipset on all boxes and I never ran into problem with it. NVIDIA is still propriety but offers excellent support for BSD.

Re: [fsug-tvm] best os
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Solaris are by far the best when it comes to kernel performance. Linux kernel is basically mad patch work. I am now working on building a custom OS with OpenBSD kernel and Debian userland. I got nvidia driver in FreeBSD (195,..), FreeBSD needs some work with audio drivers. I prefer building kde/plasma with ruby instead of python. On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 6:43 PM, Rajeev J Sebastian rajeev.sebast...@gmail.com wrote: Thats pretty awesome David.

Re: [fsug-tvm] Re: Why use Ubuntu , according to Dell
Well, I get your point. All I ever said was not to bash upon any software be it free or propriety. I run 7 OS on my machine for their merits and utilities. In addition, I request the forum administration to cut short all hardware promotions for Linux or Open Source OS since the vendors other than nVidia have not supported it or developed drivers for it (please read 'for the software of user's choice'). In 2007 I bought Dell with Ubuntu install disk, they shipped it with window's logo on it and quick start guide for windows. They didnt even provide any paper documentation.

In addition, I request the forum administration to cut short all hardware promotions for Linux or Open Source OS since the vendors other than nVidia have not supported it or developed drivers for it (please read 'for the software of user's choice').

Re: [fsug-tvm] windows 7 is washing out grub --help-urgent
The issue is related to GRUB 2 and propriety software supplied by Dell the restores windows mbr by overwriting GRUB 2 at restart after setting up a dual boot. People with similar issues should run boot info script from live cd in order to detect errors. There are handful of options in Open Source, I suggested super grub disk after evaluating the quality of initial post. For comprehensive analysis and fix please down load boot info script from sourceforge.net, store it on desktop and go to terminal and run 'sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh' (replace * with the script version). The script will post an output in desktop folder with a name RESULTS.TXT. After this you can install GRUB 2 from terminal, make sure you assign correct partition for install. In addition, one can fix windows virus with Unix Live CD and repair windows with it. Users should stop bashing propriety software and preserve their breathe for a workaround.

Now grub 2 has magic built-in and it tries to detect other oses and totally messes up the configuration. There is no single configuration file, instead you have to write grub scripts!! There is no response to bugs filed (not only this one, many critical bugs are open on grub 2 for a long time). Some rant on the net on this topic http://aronzak.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/stay-away-from-grub2/ Just go through the comments as well As an add on. my personal experience, to boot into Fedora, now I have to enter grub shell and manually enter root, linux, and initrd lines with all options _every_single_time I want to boot into Fedora. I tell my friends it is a high security system :( If some one want to boot into Fedora they need to know the logical volume name (which grub can't tab complete). Probably it is doable, but I find it easier to just go to grub shell and manually enter the details (I did try to mess up with the configuration). -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് GPLv2 I know my rights; I want my phone call!

Re: [fsug-tvm] Why use Ubuntu , according to Dell
You guys are unnecessary wasting your guts on bashing windows, every system serves a purpose. There are more reasons that Dell can imagine to use free software. The promotion is a sales pitch as it saves them effort developing drivers and I am sure it wont bring down the cost of hardware. I appeal to forum administration to see to it that subscribers use this forum for enlightenment and not for market promotion.

Well you dont need to download or install restricted extras, it will not make any good if you play games.

[fsug-tvm] Re: Tally and Ubuntu
Please find equivalent software at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty, you will be amazed by the ease and functionality that is on offer. Tally systems can not be customized and by default any PC/propriety software will run slow for a fact that they use MS database and reporting engine.

[fsug-tvm] Re: hardy to jaunty upgrade
Mate, the easiest way to do a safe upgrade would be changing software update mirrors under Sytem-Administration-Software Sources, just change the mirrors and hit update. It will give you an option in update manager saying a latest version is available. This way you will not loose any customization or data.

APTonCD will back up the root directory and it will reverse the changes. On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 2:53 PM, V.

I think one way to preserve the configuration of the system is to backup /etc. I am not sure, but it should be possible to retain the customisation by backing up the .files in /root. Best -- V.

Try unetbootin, you can find tutorial/instructions on their site. At first run it for DSL or Damn Small Linux, a 50 MB Knoppix based OS. There are many options and I guess it works fine.

Just go to Systems-Administration-software sources-Ubuntu software and change the mirror from a list at download from. It will take 4 hours with 512 kbps internet speed for an upgrade. This is safe and you will be able to keep your old settings intact.
