linuxbyexample.org In this video I am going to show you some Linux commands, that you can use to check the specification of a new server you have just purchased. Many hosting companies are now offering virtual private servers, with a wide variety of specifications, after receiving your username and password from the company, you want to be able to check that the server has been set-up with the specification you have paid for. Here, I have already logged into my new server using SSH, and the first command I am going to use is the “DF” command, which reports the size of the disk. Used with the dash H switch, this command will report hard disk usage in Gigabytes. You can see here, that my total disk space allowance is seven point four Gigabytes, which is correct for my server specification. Next, we want to check the memory allocation. This can be done by issuing the “FREE” command with the dash M switch. Here you can see that my server has a total memory allocation of two hundred and twenty eight Megabytes, and this command also displays how much memory is currently being used, and how much is available for use. Many hosting providers offer different Linux distributions, so you need to check that your new server has been set-up with the distribution you intended to use. You can do this be using the “CAT” command to output the contents of the LSB release located in the etc folder. As you can see, I decided to go with Ubuntu ten point zero four as this is an LTS release …

Linux Live CD/DVD – Ubuntu Linux & Knoppix Linux – Overview
Sunday, October 2nd, 2011
There are “live” versions of Linux and installation versions of Linux – and some versions are both! For example, there’s a version of Linux named Knoppix and it’s only available as a “live” version (on CD or DVD). As another example, there’s a Linux distribution named Ubuntu Linux and it boots from CD / DVD and runs as a “live” CD / DVD version, and you can also install Ubuntu from the Live version CD /DVD! So, from just one Ubuntu Linux CD or DVD, you can run the “live” version of Ubuntu Linux or you can do the steps install Ubuntu onto your hard disk. When you boot with Ubuntu Linux, it starts up and begins running as a “live” version of Linux. At this point, you can either just continue to use Ubuntu as a “live” version, or you can install Ubuntu onto your system from the “live” version CD / DVD. Therefore, from just one Ubuntu Linux CD (or DVD), you can run the “live” version of Ubuntu or you can install Ubuntu onto your hard disk. If you decide to install Ubuntu, you run the installation routine from CD / DVD and install it on your hard disk. This copies the Linux files onto your hard disk and so you won’t need to boot with the Ubuntu CD / DVD any more. You just boot from your hard disk to start Ubunut Linux. A Linux Live CD / DVD is used to boot and run Linux temporarily, for as long as the power’s turned on, and you may be able to save your data or you may not – once the power goes off, you need to boot from the CD / DVD again.
