Re: My Best Linux OS -->> Linux Mint (Updated)
Help please
I've installed the LINUX CINNAMON 64 bit the new one(my first time) and then after installing there is this gray and white like a scratch .. after that loading to linux logo a couple of minutes the OS seems stuck up so I turn off and on my laptop after that. then the gray and white scratch disappear.
the question
should I install the 32 bit instead of 64 bit?
is the dual boot viable or should I use the virtualbox?
should I use the cinnamon or the other kinds of linux version? sorry No idea what is mate,mint,kde,xfce..
ano pag kaiba pala ng UBUNTU at LINUX mga sir .. nabasa ko sa mga site at na compare ko sila sabi ng mga UNKNOWN same lang sila..
gagana kaya dito yung packet tracer at gns3? yan kasi ang need ko sa work >.<
thats all TIA!
Hi,
should I install the 32 bit instead of 64 bit?
This question is applicable even in MS Windows. The answer is:
1. Unless most of your applications are native 64-bit apps (or you have an application at work na palagi mong ginagamit na required talaga na 64-bit), you can go ahead with 32-bit. The reason is because hindi pa ganun karami ang mga apps na ginawa as native 64-bit. Kung tutuusin (for example sa MS Windows), karamihan ng apps ay 32-bit pa rin. So even if you are running MS Windows 64-bit, the apps still run in a 32-bit "mode". Do a Google search for WoW (Windows 32 on Windows 64) mode. From an overall perspective, wala pang substatial number of apps na ginawa as native 64-bit. Halos karamihan pa rin ng applications/software ay 32-bit.
2. Although in MS Windows, if you have 4GB of RAM (memory) or more, the only way to maximize it is to use a 64-bit OS, even if most of your apps won't benefit from a 64-bit architecture. In Linux, this limitation does not exist, due to the PAE Kernel being enabled (don't worry about this jargon). It simply means that even if you use a 32-bit OS, Linux can still "see" and "use" the entire 4GB RAM.
is the dual boot viable or should I use the virtualbox?
Virtualization (VirtualBox, VMWare) is typically used only if you want to test an Operating System, so that even if you mess it up, hindi affected ang main OS mo, which makes it "safe". However, it is not "designed" for long-term use, unless in your work, security is a main concern - there are certain situations in the workplace where a virtualized solution is best. Pero kung regular home use lang, no need. Plus, virtualized environments (depending on your hardware) won't use the native drivers of your hardware. A virtually-installed OS will use virtualized drivers. Plus, if your hardware is not strong enough, the virtualized OS is a bit slower.
should I use the cinnamon or the other kinds of linux version? sorry No idea what is mate,mint,kde,xfce..
KDE, Cinnamon, GNOME, XFCE, Unity are desktop environments. To make it simple, think of them as "skins" or "look-and-feel" (although technically, calling them "skins" is incorrect...pina-simple ko lang). In MS Windows: sa XP eh "Luna" ang desktop environment. Sa Windows 7 naman, "Aero" ang tawag sa desktop environment niya. If you want a technical explanation of it, you can read here:

Linux, technically speaking, is not an OS. It is the kernel. A kernel (sa usapin ng computers/computing) is a very important piece of the Operating itself. Although in everyday language, people refer to Linux as the OS and not the kernel, kaya sinasabi nilang parehas lang yun.
Ubuntu naman is a "flavor" of the Linux OS. Tawag sa kanila ay "distributions" or "distro" for short. Napakarami pong Linux distributions. If you're interested to read more about it, you can start here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions. Diyan mo rin makikita ang Linux Mint, which is also a distro.

Yes, there are different network analysis tools for Linux.

napadaan lang..
