Some more Linux information –

Calendar November 8, 2005 | Posted by Mike

Thanks to Chris, today I saw Ubuntu run perfectly on an IBM Thinkpad. This distribution seems very complete and is easy to install on a laptop. It has great driver support. Here is a good site to help with Ubuntu, Ubuntu 5.04 Starter Guide.
From Christiaan, of Home Networking Help, SuSE has a live CD version that runs purely in RAM. It is a pretty full featured and can be used to install a small partition too on the system for perm files but still run off the CD.

The original AIDA32 – now called Everest

Calendar October 26, 2005 | Posted by Mike

Here is a link to the original AIDA32 system information utility. This program is no longer supported. The new program Everest, has a FREE home version that will not work if you are connected to a network domain. I still use AIDA32. Great utility that also works standalone on a USB stick.

TreeSize

Calendar September 29, 2005 | Posted by Mike

This utility accounts for the girth of your burgeoning data, helping you figure out where it could use a nip or a tuck. Open the program from a context menu of a folder or drive to learn the size of the folder and all its subfolders. You can watch the results appear before your eyes. The wasted space can be written up in a printable report, giving you some idea of a pattern for the necessary alterations. This version is FREE. I have been using the Pro version for years tracking wasted space on my hard drive. Download it [here]
