Getting started with Debian - help with Xwindows I've been meaning to install one of the Linux distros for some time, but when I decided to do it a few days ago it was apparent that the packaged distros I had were getting a bit old, so I set about a network installation of Debian. I downloaded floppy images and created bootable disks. Ran the installation and ... 25 Oct 2006 22:51
top - high load We have this problem on our database machine where the load average shown by 'top' goes very high ( > 100) at random times and the database becomes really slow.

command line vs gui I've had a Unix-using acquaintance tell me that he much preferred command lines over GUI, even when using Windows. For all the advantages of GUI I agree that it's much easier to issue a series of commands in a command line or do something like "copy *.* a:" as well. Can we get the best of both worlds with an interf... 29 Dec 2005 00:41
