Problems of space? Perhaps the fault is not entirely of your music files, images and video, but installation packages and unnecessary dependencies in the system. But do not despair, there are some options of apt-get that can help solve these problems.

Apt

APT is Advanced Packing Tool , which is responsible for managing the packages to install and UNINSTALL, and their respective dependencies. <APT was created for Debian , and designed to work with dpkg , but now somemodifications have been done to work with the package manager RPM with apt-rpm.

Original Article by Juan Valencia

Although some file archivers offer us the option of split the files, this can be easily accomplished with two commands: split and cat.

Splitting a file with split

split just needs the size of the parts that we want to create, and the file that we want to split, e.g.:

split -b 1024 file_to_split.bin

If this file is 6 kibibytes long, it will create 6 files of 1 kibibyte each, named xaa, xab, xac, xad, xaeand xaf.

Article by Gabriele
After about a month of work and various tests I’m proud to make public the result of this commitment:

UbuBox “SalentOS” live 11.04.

The idea to make a personal operating system, flashed in my head for quite some time, but for one reason or another I never managed to get to work seriously on such a project. In these days I decided to commit myself “full time” to it and I did it, also pushed by the wave of news that are coming in the world of the penguin! I did not, initially, planned to make UbuBox “SalentOS” public. Then, along the way, thanks to the advice of some friends and the realization that the system satisfy me, I said “Who knows … maybe this could satisfy someone else too. Why not make it public?”.

Easy image mounting with CDemu and Nautilus

I was in need to mount some image from Nero, and so i discovered an useful small program: CDEmu.

CDEmu is a CD/DVD-ROM device emulator for linux, licensed under GPL v2 or later. It is a from-scratch rewrite of the legacy CDEmu project, which was started by Robert Penz.

And while i was searching for some documentation i found this useful from Gentoo Forum, a bit old, but still good:

Now that CDemu 1.0.0 is in Portage i decided to update my Nautilus mount script. What does it do? You Just right-click on an image, choose Scripts, disk-mount. It will load your image into an available device, your desktop’s automounter does the rest. Easy. CDemu supports all kinds of images, as opposed to mount -o loop, which can only handle iso. Also, you don’t need root rights to mount.
