Eh, you can do that? I thought swap partition is a must. D:

I have two partitions for Ubuntu home and root. For Fedora, I use only one partition. But creating a separate partition for home dir is a good idea. Comes handy when something goes wrong with your OS.

if u have alot of ram, u can shrink ur swap partition and use swappiness=0  brows.gif

sos: What is swappiness and how do I change it?

I have 3GB of ram (ddr2, amd.. pfft), but I think I still need swap... Sometimes firefox and flash becomes stupid and eats all my ram, same with nautilus (probably nautilus-elementary's fault, iunno). I just create a partition of 4GB just in case and set to use the swap when the ram used is about 60%.

You can use 'sudo' since you're in ubuntu. If you prefer GUI, you can use `gksudo <command>`. For example, to move some pictures to root-owned dir, you can use nautilus as root by hitting Alt+F2 to open the run dialog and typing in
CODE
gksudo nautilus

and insert your password.

But running as root, you need to be extra careful wink.gif

My login page just like the picture I attached but I don't have the option to choose GNOME/KDE like the picture.

Now I am stucked with KDE and don't know how to switch back to GNOME.

When you click on certain user, and the entry box for password appear, you should see the option to choose your preferred session...

I would like to try to boot bodhi linux and install it,but after the normal grub2 menu on the cd,it doesn't show the boot screen,it just show weird line all over the screen.
Incase you wonder,my hardware is a asus notebook,with AMD E-350 APU and radeon HD6310M.I think something can be done on boot menu,but don't know who to do it.

I belive it's just some driver problem for the boot screen. The OS is probably loading in the background. Try wait until like 3 minutes. If nothing happens, then something wrong with the boot cd.

Hi there, few things regarding Linux I want to ask.
1) First of all, Gnome, KDE and Unity are distributors of the core software(notepad,paint??) in a Linux system? (which is the more popular one ?)
2) Archlinux by default doesn't comes with anything right? So I have to install one of the above( Gnome,KDE,Unity) to have a GUI to make it a looks like Windows?
3) If I want to learn more about Linuxs Konsole/Terminal commands, what should I google in Google?
Thanks in advance!
*
1) Nope. GNOME & KDE might be true, but Unity is just a compiz extension (last time I check). Anyhow, you still can run linux without those three.
2) I'm not sure about Arch, but probably instally unity is not straight forward.
3) google "shell commands", or "bash". Basic commands are 'ls', 'cp', 'rm', 'mv', and 'chdir'.
