Grub, Ubuntu and updates
Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:23:53 GMT
When Ubuntu's updates process replaces a kernel, it writes and
installs a new grub bootloader entry. By default, the newly updated
kernel becomes the default to be booted.
Furthermore, any other OS on the disk are by default the last entry in
the grub boot menu.
So, on a church laptop I am responsible for, th ...

Basic bootloader question
Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:29:55 +0100
I use grub 0.97 extensively on my multi-OS test PC.
I want to try an OS that uses Lilo as its boot loader, but going away from
grub is not an option.
Is there any way I could install this OS under grub?
Thanks for any help.

ACPI says temp is 256C
8 Sep 2009 08:13:36 GMT
On my laptop (HP 6735s) 'acpi -t' tells me the temperature is 256C
(critical). It obviously isn't; the laptop feels quite cool and it is
working normally. Is this a bug in acpi or what?

suggest cheap low-profile PCI Graphics card for linux NetVista box?
Mon, 7 Sep 2009 13:45:37 -0700 (PDT)
Hi All
I have an IBM Netvista machine on which I dual-boot XP and Gentoo
Linux. In general the machine is rock-solid - however I have been
getting increasing troubled with problems due to the onboard Intel
845G Video, and the Linux drivers for same. So much so that I'm
considering buying a separate graphics ...

Is an Atom better than an Athlon XP 2400+?
Mon, 07 Sep 2009 13:31:50 +0100
I'm wanting to replace my ageing home desktop with a new small machine
that I can leave on most of the time. It's for very basic email, web,
openoffice use with the occasional light photo editing. Eventually would
like to add audio streaming.
Something like this could be ideal:

iPAQ and PNA vs. Fedora (and others?)
Sun, 6 Sep 2009 22:01:35 +0000 (UTC)
Fedora 10 seems to think that anything running Windows Mobile must, by
definition, support mobile broadband. Consequently, /var/log/messages
shows the following sequence of log messages:
kernel: usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
kernel: usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 ch ...

Security without upgrades
Sun, 6 Sep 2009 09:17:19 -0700 (PDT)
Ubuntu sends me "essential security upgrades" about twice a week, on
average. How secure, then, is Puppy Linux, which I love but which
hasn't been upgraded in many months? Can I trust it?
