Bom, depois de quase morrer até achar um cd virgem, mais uma morte depois por dar falha de gravação, e por fim, gravando num DVD-RW, vim aqui para ensinar vocês a instalar o básico no ubuntu 8.10 intrepid =)

1) baixe este pacote. (ubuntu-tweak)

Agora instale-o. (éé, isso mesmo, dá dois cliques nele e clica em instalar xD)

LINUX es un sistema operativo de mucha actualidad y difusión debido a que es de libre distribución. Tiene la misma filosofía que UNIX.

Linux (pronunciado con una i corta, como en LIH-nucs) es un clónico del sistema operativo UNIX. Soporta un amplio rango de software, desde TEX a X Window al compilador GNU C/C++ a TCP/IP. Es una implementación de UNIX versátil, distribuida gratuitamente en los términos de la Licencia GNU.

En el presente manual aprenderemos algunos de los comandos mas útiles que podemos utilizar en este sistema operativo.

From time to time I have the time to attend a TLUG (Tokyo Linux User Group) meeting :-) - I did so a few times since I arrived here in Tokyo. I especially remember the Nomikais or "Social Meetings"... And two months ago I did a talk there, about Jabber and Jabber RPC (which I could recycle from the PSG Summer Camp) (you can find the slides on my publications page). Anyway, my advice for anyone into Linux and visiting / staying / living in Tokyo: join us at a meeting!

Working on a paper, I needed to generate DVI files to be able to mark the changes using changebar. Well, nothing special, I did that before and my LaTeX files contained some code so that switching between PDF and DVI was only a matter of calling pdflatex or latex -- or so I thought. But to my surprise, calling latex now produced PDF files as well! What?

Well, the solution is simple. There is this well known code fragment probably used by everyone in the world to detect pdflatex:

\newif\ifpdf
\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined
\pdffalse % we are not running PDFLaTeX
\else
\pdfoutput=1 % we are running PDFLaTeX
\pdftrue
\fi

Unfortunately this has the side effect to set pdfoutput=1 whenever pdfoutput is not undefined.

Consider you've got Mandriva LE2005 on DVD, but the computer you want to install it on doesn't have a DVD drive, but has Debian (or any other Linux) pre-installed. Fortunately you've got another computer with a DVD drive and both computers are of course connected to your local network. So what is the easiest way to get the installation done?

Well, I chose the following way: copy from the DVD isolinux/alt0/* to the other computer. If it is using grub, you can now reboot, then switch to grub's command line and enter:

kernel (hd0,0)/alt0/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=128000 vga=788
initrd (hd0,0)/alt0/all.rdz
boot
