...How to Dual-boot Linux and Windows (on a PC with Windows 7 already installed) The purpose of this Instructable is to set up your computer to dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux. Dual-booting is a technique which allows a single physical computer to run two or more operating systems (OSes). This is useful for experimenting with new OSes without putting all your eggs in one basket. Step 1: Getting Prepared Prerequisites: 1. A PC running Windows 7, with at least 30 GB of free hard-drive space. 2. A CD/DVD burner and blank CD/ DVD or a USB drive with a capacity of 1GB or more 3. An external Harddrive big enough to backup your Windows installation 4. Administrative access to the PC 5. Internet Connectivity Most PCs sold in the last three years should meet the criteria for number 1. To confirm what version of Windows you are running, go to My Computer and click on “System properties.” The listed version should be Windows 7. From that same screen, you should see how much free space you have left, which is underneath the blue bar for each disk. In the example image, there is "8.49 GB free of 55.7GB". NOTE: The 8.49GB shown in the example is not enough space for most people. While you can install Ubuntu to a partition this size, you will typically want more space store documents and applications. 20GB is probably the minimum size you would want. Step 2: Select a Linux Distro Linux comes in many flavors. Some distributions are aimed at full configurability...

...it is difficult to find real devices for which students can easily write drivers. Moreover, providing devices to students might be financially infeasible, even if an appropriate device could be found. We have thus found it easiest for students to write a driver for a virtual device. Specifically, we have them implement a RAM disk driver, which allocates a large block of memory and presents it in the form of a block device ------------------------------------------------- Supported Hardware Ubuntu does not impose hardware requirements beyond the requirements of the Linux kernel and the GNU tool-sets. Therefore, any architecture or platform to which the Linux kernel, libc, gcc, etc. have been ported, and for which an Ubuntu port exists, can run Ubuntu. Rather than attempting to describe all the different hardware configurations which are supported for AMD64, this section contains general information and pointers to where additional information can be found. Supported Architectures Ubuntu 12.04 supports...

...Security summarized 1. First of all: there is no 100 % security. Not in real life and not in the digital world. Not even when your computer is running Linux. You should always use your common sense. And even then it can go wrong. A certain amount of risk, however small, is unavoidable. A Frenchman would say: c'est la vie. About viruses, firewalls and exploits I can be brief: Antivirus software 1.1. You don't need antivirus software in Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Debian. Because a virus can't do anything in Linux. Mainly because of this: in order to install on your computer, a virus needs your password. And that it doesn't have. Furthermore, you generally only install software from the secured "software store" (repositories) of your Linux distribution. This is a very effective barrier against malware. Therefore there are no Linux viruses "in the wild" (with the exception of web servers, but securing web servers is quite a different cup of tea). The best protection against viruses is this: - install a well-supported Linux, like Ubuntu or Linux Mint; - check daily for updates; - don't use antivirus, as antivirus in Linux gives only a false sense of security, but simply use your common sense. For the full story, read on (item 2 and further). Firewall 1.2. A firewall is already installed by default. It's called IPtables. IPtables can be managed through the application Uncomplicated Firewall (ufw), which is also installed by default. By default the firewall isn't...

...Windows 8 on my Asus machine the windows operating system was installed when I purchased my machine. For my Virtual operating system I chose an Ubuntu (64bit) operating system since I had no former experience with it I will be running the operating system on the Oracle VM Box Manager. My first experience with the Virtual Operating system is that I had to go to https://www.virtualbox.org/ to download the files to use to get the program for the virtual operating system. This took some leg work for me because I wanted to make sure that I was doing this correctly I didn’t want to accidently download a virus or something that would hurt my machine or break it so to speak. I consulted http://www.pythian.com and I found that the information there seemed legitimate so I went ahead with the downloading process. When you look on the site for the Oracle VM Box Manager they do include a very detailed manual so I found the correct install for my host which is windows it only took a couple of minutes for it to download. Once downloaded you go through the wizard which is pretty straight forward but I do highly suggest keeping the manual open for a reference so that you are able to know how much RAM to allocate your guest operating system. Once you have your virtual machine named and set up with a virtual hard drive you are ready to install your guest your operating system. Don’t worry there is a wizard for this and again there is also the handy manual located on their site. I will...

Installation media You can use any media you want. You can burn iso to DVD of CentOS 5 or 6 or Fedora. Network selection. For the Network Configuration, I renamed System eth0 and System eth1 to Public andPrivate respectively. I configured each NIC with static information and made sure to check theConnect Automatically checkbox for each — otherwise NetworkManager will not bring the NICs up. Package Selection For this section either you can rely on kickstart file which will have all packages listed in a tab called %packages or you can have minimal install like “Server”. Post-Installation Steps. Disable the Firewall It’s possible to have the firewall running — you just need to ensure that the proper ports are opened. For simplicity, and since this server is in a private network, I chose to have the firewall turned off.

...(GFS) and of the MapReduce computing paradigm. Hadoop’s HDFS is a highly fault-tolerant distributed file system and, like Hadoop in general, designed to be deployed on low-cost hardware. This document describes how to install, configure and manage non-trivial Hadoop clusters ranging from a few nodes to extremely large clusters with thousands of nodes. Required Software Required software for Linux and Windows include: 1. Java 1.6.x, preferably from Sun, must be installed. 2. ssh must be installed and sshd must be running to use the Hadoop scripts that manage remote Hadoop daemons. Installation Installing a Hadoop cluster typically involves unpacking the software on all the machines in the cluster. Typically one machine in the cluster is designated as the NameNode and another machine the as JobTracker, exclusively. These are the masters. The rest of the machines in the cluster act as both DataNode and TaskTracker. These are the slaves. The root of the distribution is referred to as HADOOP_HOME. All machines in the cluster usually have the same HADOOP_HOME path. Steps for Installation 1. Install java 1.6 Check java version: $ java –version 2. Adding dedicated user group $ sudo addgroup hadoop $ sudo adduser --ingroup hadoop hduser 3. Install ssh $ su - hduser Generate keypairs: $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -P "" Enable access to the local machine: $ cat $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys $ ssh localhost 4.

...American Intercontinental University * Leonel A Silvestre * ITCO211 * File System Hi As your help desk technician I will do everything we can to help you with the operating system problem. Everybody knows what is a Hard Disk or Hard Drive let me refresh your mind, with a simple explanation: Hard Disk/ Drive, is a device for storing and retrieving digital information, primarily computer data. It consists of one or more rigid rapidly rotating discs (platters) coated with magnetic material, and with magnetic heads arranged to write data to the surfaces and read it from them. With that been said, now move forward with Operating System and Hard Disk/ Drive. I would like to recommend you the best operating system is DOS (Disk Operating System), why? Because has everything you need. Let me tell you a little more about DOS. Disk Operating System: Most often abbreviated as DOS, refer to operating system software used in most computers that provides the abstraction and management of secondary storage devices and the information on them (e.g., file systems for organizing files of all sorts). Such software is referred to as a disk operating system when the storage devices it manages are made of rotating platters, such as floppy disks or hard disks. In the early days of microcomputers, computer memory space was often limited, so the disk operating system was an extension of the operating system. This component was only loaded if needed. Otherwise, disk...
