Comment on Ubuntu 9.10 Unleashed, Amid Windows 7 & Snow Leopard by Ankur Goel

Ankur Goel — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:15:45 +0000

'm using Windows right now. Partitions(drives): C (hard disk drive), D , E , F.
What I want: I want to format C (which I'll do from Windows disk), and in this way I'll be able to get my C partition's space unallocated.
Now I wish to install Ubuntu Karmic on that specific unallocated space. It should not harm the content in D, E , F drives (as per windows). I'm greatly confused whether Ubuntu considers whole disk as a single space and then offers the option to partition: If it is so then certainly all content will be lost.
Can anybody sort this out?

you wanted to know why cant use linux as my primary platform – cad (acad, revit, archicad) sketchup (almost works….) – and no the open source cad programmes dont cut it – yet

but have been using linux in many forms on my laptop for 5 years or so – once can run this type of software on a linux platform windoze is gone for me – and id be more than happy to pay for the platform.

cheers

Comment on Revive the Multimedia XPerience with XBMC by Preston

resource intensive?….riiiiight…..Thats why it can run on a single core ATOM 1.6ghz with 2gb of ram and an ION GPU and only eat up 25% cpu and 512mb of memory running full 1080p video…….interesting.

Normally the 50% cpu is caused by vsync problems, I have it on my ION system which is just an atom and it uses approx 30% on a CPU which is far less powerfull. And as joeren says, when starting a movie (FPS will drop to movie speed) then it uses even less. < 10% on 1080p, thx to vdpau ofc.

It's very very wrong saying it uses >1 GiB RAM, it doesn't use 256mb even. I'd suggest you read up on the resource allocation. In fact my XBMC Live uses about 512mb for the ENTIRE OS with XBMC running.
