| xcrileyx | Is anyone here than can help a newb out? | 01:14 |
| xcrileyx | ? | 01:15 |
| xrileyx | good morning, is anyone here that could help out a new guy? | 13:13 |
| ogra | !ask | 13:14 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 13:14 |
| xrileyx | well i did last night | 13:15 |
| xrileyx | and on one responded | 13:15 |
| xrileyx | so i just wanted tos ee if anyone was in today | 13:15 |
| xrileyx | Im looking to build a carputer, and to save space i was going to run the UMPC from a usb flash | 13:16 |
| xrileyx | is the only option for doing that a "Live Session" | 13:16 |
| ogra | you cant do a normal install to the flash indeed | 13:18 |
| xrileyx | dang.. not even if i get one of those 16gb drives? | 13:18 |
| ogra | sorry, typo | 13:19 |
| ogra | s/cant/can/ | 13:19 |
| xrileyx | oh.. so i CAN get ubuntu to install to a flash and recognize the flash as my main drive? | 13:20 |
| ogra | sury | 13:20 |
| ogra | *sure | 13:20 |
| xrileyx | I know that the upsides to this are: less space required, less heat, and faster boots | 13:20 |
| xrileyx | what would be the downside? | 13:20 |
| ogra | ubuntu usually only cares for the UUID of the drive | 13:20 |
| ogra | so you should be able to use any media that had a filesystem and is known by the kernel for your rootfs | 13:21 |
| xrileyx | fantastic! | 13:22 |
| xrileyx | thanks | 13:22 |
| ogra | no downside apart from the hardware induced ones | 13:22 |
| ogra | dont use a swap partition ;) it will wear out your flash | 13:23 |
| xrileyx | swap partition? | 13:23 |
| ogra | yes | 13:23 |
| xrileyx | oh, this is the equivilant of page size in windows? | 13:24 |
| derekS | hey guys. 2 questions: 1) is there any tutorial on encrypting the home directory? 2) are there any articles on optimizing for SSDs? | 15:32 |
