I would go for the dell xps 13 developer edition. It's a very nice laptop. If you need more ports, you can get a USB 3.0 port replicator. If you want multiple monitors, unfortunately the HD4000 does...

Repositories are essentially what you described. They are central places that house software pre-compiled for your version of Linux. They are simple to add to apt, and since 9.10 (correct me if I'm...

You can always pick and choose features as you like. You can start with a pretty vanilla maverick install and then add repositories for software that isn't in the default.

For example, I use my...

Since each drive has it's own boot loader, one option is to select the startup disk at boot. For example, on the machine in front of me, if you hit F12 at boot, you have the choice of which hard...

When I say home, I mean the /home folder and not /home/username. I suggest moving the entire home folder and not just one user's directory, although it is possible to do that with a linked folder.

Like was said before, not much you can do to get beyond the hard data cap (unless they are strictly measuring http traffic). There are a few things you can do to stretch the cap. Disabling images by...

First try this:
sudo usermod -d /path/to/new/home -m

If that doesn't do the trick--

Create the folder on the partition you want and set up the correct permissions:

mkdir /path/to/new/home...

I still think for your use, it makes much more sense to just install onto that thumb drive instead of making it an "actual" live install.

Yes, although I would recommend getting the latest version from the virtualbox site and not use the ones in the repositories. I'm fairly certain there's a PPA with the latest version as well.

I highly recommend Duplicati (http://code.google.com/p/duplicati/).

It's just a clone of duplicity, but also has a nice graphical interface and is cross-platform. It supports incremental and full...

If you're looking for a very lightweight version, I highly recommend lUbuntu. I think it comes pre-loaded with Abiword and Gnumeric (which are much faster than OpenOffice, but don't have quite as...

I often have trouble with those automated utilities. A simple dd of the image to the flash drive usually works for me.

e.g. (where sdb is your flash drive)
dd if=/path/to/myimage.iso of=/dev/sdb

I'm not sure I see why you want it to be live? Perhaps, it might suit you to just install the OS right on the thumb drive. I highly recommend lUbuntu. It's very light and makes my cheap eee901 fly!...

VirtualBox is definitely what you're looking for. It's not much to install. Otherwise, the only thing you could do is dd the iso to a thumb drive and boot from that.

The super simple way is to simply go to System>Preferences>Appearances and change to clear looks.

I just followed this and it worked beautifully. I haven't had a chance to actually connect my Nexys2 development board yet, so I'll let you know if it all went smoothly later when I get home.

There are some pages in the google cache. That's about all I can find.

I mean, you create two partitions that are different sizes than the partitions you are cloning. Without copying the partition table, it's not going to work. So basically you'd need two drives to do...

I'm not sure I follow. If a user has root access, they have the keys to the kingdom (in the words of my former OS professor) and you can't stop them from doing anything.

I think what you want is a...

Be advised that this solution will store your password UNENCRYPTED. Use at your own risk.

What was the link to your forum?

Try using the UID instead of the username. I believe the first account created is 1 (with root being 0).

Bad news: This won't work the way you want it to because the partition map won't be set correctly.

Good news! Burn yourself a copy of the gparted live cd. It has a feature for partition...

Imgburn all the way. If it won't burn with that, it won't burn.
