Hi Uncle Urmas, can I delve deeply Into your mind. I have decided to install Linux 18 Cinnamon onto my PC as this is a long term Distro until 2021. At the moment I am running Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3 64bit on a 1500 hard drive but intend to keep that as if it all goes pair shaped I can re install it with no trouble at all.
Now I intend to install Mint Cinnamon 18 64bit on a spare disc a Seagate desktop SSHD 2000GB what advice can you give me or what should I look out for? Any help or advice...

I am writing this in the Linux Forum as was not sure where to put it perhaps it should be in the general. Well anyway I have been a Microsoft user from 1999 using XP,Vista, W7, W8, and then W10. I had a dabble with Linux but never really used it because it was two much bother using dual boot also I worked in a local authority IT centre where if I wanted any help or downloads I could have them FOC ( I had nothing to do with computing I was the caretaker) anyway I was used to Microsoft's...

I'm bored.

So lets have a looksee at how speedy folks hard disks are. Want to play along ? It will only take a few seconds and you may be surprised at the results.

Open up a TERMINAL and run as root or via sudo the following command,

Code:

hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

Here are the results from my old Dell with a ssd (sda) and with a sd card running from a usb 2 port (sdb).

Code:

Drives: HDD TotalSize:136.2GB(37.0% used)

I have just timed the boot time for Mint 25 seconds from the switch on to the login window, not bad.

I bought a Raspberry Pi 3 to use as a 3D Print server (using Octoprint, but more on that later!). I noticed that the same shop had a Raspberry Pi Zero in stock for just £4... crazy to think that you can buy a mini Linux PC for that price!

I'm going to have a tinker with it next week to see how powerful it is, but I'd be interested to know if you guys can think of anything interesting that could be made with a mini £4 linux powered device? I'm considering using it for wireless audio...

Well you can laugh but lots of tears this end. As you know my last SSHD disc died on me and I installed a new 2TB one. I reinstalled Mint downloaded all my files and at the end of that found all my music and pictures found that the music wouldn't play as I downloaded from my Backup external drive, yes you have guest it they were a MS backup, Pictures OK but over 5,000 tracks sweet FA. Without thinking in bad temper and frustration I re installed Mint and now have to re download all my...

Below I have posted a few pics of the various parts I've put aside for a project I started several months ago but shelved due to confusion on my part.

I have all these parts in a carry case stored under my bed atm, I think I have everything I need with the possible exception of a screen or small monitor if I can't access this setup via a computer using Windows 10. I can access the eventual Raspberry Pi Zero setup using either hard wired Ethernet or from my wireless router.

My intention was...

For while now I have had an itch to host a Ghost blog running from a Pi located at home.
So have finally made a start.

I am attempting to run Docker on a Pi2 with a ghost instance running in a docker container.The Ghost will be accessible from any pc connected to the internet. If I am successful I think the Pi and my broadband will cope with the/any extra traffic my blog may attract.

I'll assume that you are all familiar with the Raspberry Pi. If not have a read at the link,...

This may not be the right section, as I'm using an AndroidX86 build, but it's essentially a Linux OS so I hope one of you Linux gurus will know the answer .

I'm putting together a touchscreen Android computer for the kitchen, which will run widgets and apps that we often use (i.e. there's a shopping one, music, recipes, calendar, etc...). However this doesn't need to be on all the time, just in the morning and evenings. I tried using Android apps to put the device to sleep and wake it up...

Thought some of our Linux users might be interested in this security flaw labeled "Dirty COW." I read that it can be patched, thankfully. Here is the link: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/10/21/linux_privilege_escalation_hole/

Well I downloaded KDE on a spare drive and had a good go on it all day in fact, what did I think of it. Firstly it downloaded faultlessly and was easy to install. I found the boot up was quick and the picture quality was excellent far better than Cinnamon in fact more like a 3D screen and if it worked in Cinnamon it would have been the best experience that I could have had. But I found it confusing and difficult to navigate, so after trying to use it for a day I gave up and reverted back to...

Recently inherited a Dell 4700 which is a 2005 era pc. I added more ram and popped in a more modern gfx card and gave it a dust out with the ol' fire extinguisher.
What to do next ? Install a os of course.
So I chose MX-15 as it runs on,
