Jeg har en ekstra disk som er i NTFS som jeg har lyst til å formatere til ext3. Hvordan gjør jeg dette?

 

(ja, det er et kjempenoob spørsmål)

Skal du ta vare på innholdet på den?

 

Hvis du ikke skal ha innholdet, er det bare til å plugge i disken og bruke cfdisk (partisjonere) og mke2fs (lage filsystem).

Takker, men er det sjanse for å gjøre dette grafisk? Jeg skal ikke beholde noe av innholdet på disken

[endrebjo]

cfdisk er semi-grafisk.

Men: Fedora 7 "moonshine" () er fri, right-on-time!

Emne:  a few words about Fedora 7

Dato:  Thu, 31 May 2007 03:22:33 -0400 (EDT)  (09:22 CEST)

 

 

My fellow Fedorans,

 

In a few hours (about 10:00 AM EDT/2:00 PM GMT), Fedora 7 will go live

to the world.

 

It's the middle of the night in the main Red Hat offices in Raleigh and

Westford, but I amm in Berlin this week for LinuxTag, which is the

largest Linux conference in Europe (10,000 visitors over 4 days).

 

We have a great looking Fedora booth, and we are holding a FUDCon

(Fedora Users and Developers Conference) here today during which we have

a conference hall that probably seats 150 people all to ourselves.  We

are giving speeches and talks about Fedora all day long, both in German

and in English.  I've already had several people come by asking when

Alan Cox will be arriving.  Answer: Real Soon Now.

 

We have several activities ongoing at the Fedora booth, including an

install-fest, and a troubleshooting contest with prizes that include

free books and free Red Hat training classes.  We have all variety of

Fedora swag as well.  It's quite an impressive setup here at LinuxTag,

and worth noting that the entire organizational force behind the event

was driven by our Fedora Ambassador community of volunteers.

 

This email is my "personal" Fedora 7 release announcement, and also

touches on some of the topics that I will mention during my speech at

FUDCon today.

 

Before I talk about Fedora 7, it's useful to look at recent history.

One of the Fedora Project's mottos is "the rapid progress of free and

open source software."  With Fedora Core 5 in March of 2006, Fedora Core

6 in October of 2006, and Fedora 7 today, that's about 7 months per

release.  And with several million Fedora Core 6 installs, everyone who

works on Fedora should feel very proud that not only is the software

being released often, but it's also high quality, and in high use around

the world.

 

====

 

Fedora 7 represents the culmination of several goals that Fedora has

spent the last few releases (spanning the course of at least 2 years)

working to achieve.

 

I've written previously on this list about the aspects of Fedora 7 that

I think are the most important (http://tinyurl.com/yuc7ax).

 

>From my perspective, it is the fundamental infrastructure changes that

Fedora 7 represents that are the biggest achievement.

 

The entire Fedora toolchain has been freed.  Every step in the

distribution-building process is completely open.

 

Code checked into an external CVS. Packages built on a completely

external build system. Distros and LiveCDs built on completely open

compose tools.

 

All of this functionality is available via the command line or via a

graphical tool that is build on the APIs that we provide.

 

For folks who hack on free software, I hope that this is a compelling

development environment in which to work.  For folks who are end users

of free software, we believe that the Fedora toolchain allows people to

remix Fedora, and customize it in ways that will provide a much wider

variety of Fedora-based spins than we could ever offer if "Fedora

Release Engineering" had to build them all directly.

 

There is plenty more, but this email isn't meant to be an exhaustive

list of Fedora 7 release features.

 

====

 

Additionally, I'd like to mention a few other new things that Fedora has

completed in time for Fedora 7:

 

Our home page, fedoraproject.org has a new look.  We've added a series

of static HTML pages that sit on top of our wiki, and I think it makes

the initial experience of fedoraproject.org much simpler, and much more

useful.  The organized chaos of the wiki is all still just one click

away, but we didn't want first-time visitors to fp.o overwhelmed with

the wiki from the first instant.

 

Our documentation pages have also been given some new organization,

living at docs.fedoraproject.org.

 

The lifespan of a Fedora release has been increased to "two releases

plus one month".  This means that Fedora Core 6 will continue to be

updated until one month after Fedora 8 is released, and Fedora 7 will be

updated until one month after Fedora 9 is released.

 

We've put into production new mirror management software.

 

The EPEL project, which aims to make packages from the Fedora repository

available for Enterprise Linux customers, has been making tremendous

progress.

 

The Fedora News team, which already had been doing a fantastic job, has

expanded the coverage that they provide the Fedora Project, and their

Fedora Weekly News reports offer people a fantastic summary of all the

interesting things that are happening in the Fedora Project.

 

And more.

 

====

 

Finally, a few words of thanks.  I debated for a while listing specific

names in this email, but the number of people who deserve credit for

Fedora 7 and all of the work that has happened around Fedora 7 cannot be

enumerated without accidentally forgetting someone.  So instead I will

simply say that every item discussed in this email has happened as a

result of tremendous work by Fedora contributors both inside and outside

of Red Hat.  And it is the partnership of Red Hat and the Fedora

community that allows both groups to be successful.

 

And I speak for everyone at Red Hat when I say that it is an honor to be

a part of something like Fedora.

 

Congratulations to everyone on today's release.

 

Sincerely,

Max Spevack

Fedora Project Leader

Emne:  Announcing Fedora 7 (Moonshine)

Dato:  Thu, 31 May 2007 03:28:41 -0700  (12:28 CEST)

 

 

Howdy, cousins!  Welcome to our little Fedora hollow, where we've

brewed up some mighty, mighty Fedora 7 Moonshine for your enjoyment.

Here, I'll help you pour that ... and some for me ... *cough, cough*

Smoooooth ... sure does taste good.  It's been sitting here in the jug

for almost a whole month now!  Go ahead and help yourself to some

more:

 

http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora.html

 

What's the most important thing to do if you are upgrading your Fedora

version?  Why, that's easy!  Read the release notes, it prevents

hangovers:

 

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes

 

What are new things to do with your Moonshine?

 

* Mix and remix this Moonshine to come up with as many flavored drinks

  as there is Joe-Pye weed in the Appalachians.  Want an OS to

  send home with the students or staff?  Add packages, remove

  packages, spin it any way you like.  Let a thousand distros bloom!

 

* Bottle up that custom mix and call it an appliance.  ISV building an

  appliance product?  Make an RPM, identify the minimal number of

  packages needed for an appliance around that RPM, then build a

  distro and a live image.  Easy as moon pie.

 

Gol' darn, but this is good 'shine.  *hic*  There, is that enough?  No?

Here, let me pour us some more, and we can toast the most important

part of this Moonshine -- the makers.  You thought I made it?  Oh, no.

No special elite brewmaster here, I'm just a bartender, and this log

is my bar!  Ha ha.  No, really ... see ...

 

Fedora 7 is the first release where the development was one hunnerd

and one per-cent in the community.  How?  It's simple, cousin -- all

the code was merged into a single external repository.  Why?  Same

great distribution quality, even more high-quality developers able to

work directly with the code and improve the flavor of over 7500

packages.

 

Grab that jug, look inside, and you find:

 

* KDE?  Yep, with Moonshine, Fedora and KDE are gettin' downright

  friendly with each other.

 

* Laptops?  A tickless kernel means better power consumption for

  laptops; extended wireless functionality, meaning more chances

  hardware will Just Work.  Yee-ha!

 

* Get those Live images, burn CDs or DVDs, and share them with your

  friends and neighbors.  This is the first Fedora distribution with

  full Live CD/DVD capability.

 

* Interoperability?  Let's start with resizing and reading of NTFS

  file systems.  How about those Liberation fonts, d'you like how they

  just slip right in where other fonts were used?

 

* Why stop with just one fruit jar of virtualization?  This release

  includes support for KVM and overall more virtualization capability.

 

* As always, tasty new graphics for the Fedora 7 desktop, as well as

  an updated Website look and functionality, including a new build and

  package update system.

 

More?  Read up at:

 

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-note...n-OverView.html

 

Oops, looks like we drank up all that jug.  Guess I'll just make a

trip over the torrents to get me another.  All right, then, we'll

see you.  Y'all come back soon now, ya hear?

Nye Fedora må prøves.

[Mr.Elendig]

Litt nytt frå ArchLinux fronten.

Anbefaler tå ta ein kjapp titt på videoen for dei som er interisert.

Linuxtag 2007 Impressions

 

Hey everybody!

 

Just so you know a bit how it looks like over here, I've uploaded our today's special for you.

 

*tadaaaa*

 

Here's the Duke Linuxtag Ed. install video: Download

 

Have fun!

 

Also, www.linux-gamers.net created a live-DVD with several games based on Arch. We had the honor of being able to test play Sauerbraten, Enemy Territory and Torcs amongst others as one of the first people ever touching that DVD. It will be released to the public in a couple of days.

 

Greetings from our team at the booth. Hope to see at least some of you soon!

Etter sommerferien blir det ny laptop til ca. 10K, finner jeg noe brukt som veier ca. 1kg og støtter linux bra?

[BarteBaluba]

Ett kg? du tuller nå?

 

http://itavisen.no/php/art.php?id=383795

 

Det er nok den eneste laptoppen i dag som veier 1 kg.

Ja, jeg drømmer.

Er lei av klumper på 2.7kg, kan fint ha en på 1kg med specs 500mhz, 128ram, bare den veier lite.

Blir vel 1.6kg eller noe jeg må gå for.

[Simen1]

Fujitsu Siemens har en del modeller som veier rundt 1kg. Faktisk noen gram under. Jeg husker ikke helt modellnumrene men det var vel P7000, P7010, P7020 eller noe sånt.

 

Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook P1510 - 990 gram:

http://www.hardware.no/tester/baerbar_pc/f...k_p1510/22816/2

 

Ellers så har du Dell Latitude D420 på 1,36 kg. Den har jo både en fornuftig pris, en ok størrelse på skjermen (12", mot FS Lifebook P1510 sine 8,9")

Apropos, postet nettopp en "idé" på Dell Ideastorm om Ubuntu på 12". Stem i vei!

 

Og i andre nyheter har vi et intervju med Mark Shuttleworth i Phoronix.

Litt om linux fra dell:

[JonJ]

Apropos, postet nettopp en "idé" på Dell Ideastorm om Ubuntu på 12". Stem i vei!

 

Hadde akkurat samme ide, da jeg har sett veldig på XPS 12" men vil unngå Vista-lisensen som følger med maskinen... Jeg hadde nok uansett lastet inn Fedora eller CentOS, men om jeg kan unngå å betale for Windows så er jeg fornøyd.

[Frysning]

Finnes det en distro som krypterer root som default?

[Simen1]

JonJ: Du kan jo få refundert kostnaden for den ubrukte Vista-lisensen.

Du må ringe Dell om dette. Har hørt et eller annet om at dette kun gjøres på bedriftsmodellene, som jeg uansett vil anbefale deg å kjøpe fremfor XPS, som er en Inspiron. Inspiron-modellene holder lavere kvalitet enn Latitude. Dette er også noe Dell selv sier. Skal du kjøpe en laptop fra Dell, kjøp for all del en Latitude (eller Presicion hvis du har større krav til grafikkort). Hilsen en som har hatt en Latitude i over 3 år og som faktisk er fornøyd med Dell.

Veit ikkje, men dei aller fleste har luks/md-crypt med på innstalasjonsmediet og ståtte for det i init scripta

Jeg vil helst slippe å måtte gjøre det i etterkant, men det er en mulighet, ja.

 

stigfjel: Kikket på Latitude nå(Det var den eneste modellen med 12" utenom XPS), og den har mindre harddisk, svakere cpu og jeg må betale 2k ekstra for intern DVD-brenner... Den blir nok ikke aktuell for meg.
