Split & Join Files
We have a file which size is too big to save in USB Flash drive.
To split it to be a small size so its fit to store in USB is easy in linux platform, use “split” command which has been bundled in GNU Coreutils.

root@hardy:/home/bearisusanto/test# ls -alh
total 700M
-rwx—— 1 bearisusanto root 700M 2008-06-02 03:22 ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso Read the rest of this entry »

Finding Files
You now know what each major directory holds, but it still doesn’t really help you find things. I mean, you could go looking through directories, but there are quicker ways. There are four main file search commands.

% which bash
/bin/bash

Virtual Machine VMware on Ubuntu 8.04
Running other OS on ubuntu is a great moment. We could use virtualbox ose, xen or use vmware. I think vmware is more interesting because it doesnt need special linux-header like xen or virtualbox. You could get vmware server freely from its website and you could request serial number freely too.
