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