Are you newbie in Linux? Or, Are you getting problem to choose Linux Distro(s) you want installed on your PC?
The answer is here. Just surf to this site and get your right distro.
Have a nice experience with Linux.

It's get annoying when we had to reboot our computer first to take some files in Linux. But this case was resolved with EXT2-FS. You can mount your ext2 or ext3 to Windows drive. So you can read or write the system easily.

Since yesterday my flash disk error. My Windows can't detect it properly. So I couldn't format it. Then I plug it into my PClos, even the flash can't be detected too at least I still can format it.
Don't worry, in Linux we can format with fat32 file system. So it still can be read in Windows. Here is the command to format using fat32:
mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1

Finally I am thinking about this,
Why Windows could't do that??
Or Was Linux "too" good, than ...??
:P

There's many effect related to disk capacity, so you need to know about it. Problem that usually occur is:
1. /home full, user except root can't login.
2. /var full, your program can't runs and there wouldn't be logs.

Just type this command
df -h
And waste your unusefull files.

The easiest way to look for file(s) in Linux we can use command locate. Just simply type locate (file you want to)
example:
locate http

You can combine with grep, so you can find files more specific.
locate http | grep etc

It will find all of files named http in directory etc.

For using locate, you need to make index firts with command updatedb. The complete command will be.
updatedb
locate http | grep etc

Run Level is a mode of operation in one of the computer. There's six type or mode of operation in Linux. The configuration system allows you to choose one of them at once.

The Options
0 - Halt
1 - Single user
2 - Not used/User definable
3 - Full multi-user, console logins only
4 - Not used/User definable
5 - Full multi-user, with display manager as well as console logins
6 - Reboot

The command
init(space)(number of the options above)
Example, I want to change from GUI to text mode. So I should type on the console/terminal:
init 3

You had to be root to do this command.
This way absolutely usefull to fix Linux configuration system, like my post before.

For all of beginner in linux, the first command you had to know were:

• info
  

Just type
info
Then see the result to know every command in linux.

• man
  

Type man space command
ex: man man
the result show you everything about the command.

• --help

Type --help after every command.

To Install a RPM packet type this in your console
rpm -ivh packet.rpm

If there was an error message, the packet needs dependency(s). So, you had to install the dependency(s) first then try to install the packet again.

Did you usually do something Like download Linux Iso(s) in the middle of the night? (cheap internet traffic reason)Or you have to do something in the future but in the same time you must meet your boss?
The best solution is using crontab.

Command

Just type these command below to use crontab:

crontab -e # Edit your crontab file, or create one if it doesn't already exist.
crontab -l # Display your crontab file.
crontab -r # Remove your crontab file.
crontab -v # Display the last time you edited your crontab file.

File Syntax

* * * * * command to be executed
- - - - -
| | | | |
| | | | +----- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0)
| | | +------- month (1 - 12)
| | +--------- day of month (1 - 31)
| +----------- hour (0 - 23)
+------------- min (0 - 59)

Example

A line in crontab file like below removes the temporary files from /home/myuser/tmp each day at 7:00 AM.

* 17 * * * rm /home/myuser/tmp/*

Just type the command below on your beloved shell. And see the result.

ps -aux | sort +4n

TGZ is commonly used in linux. It's using tar to archive the files then compress by gzip. It's usually a source code of a program. If you having problem how to install program with this extension, read this carefully. I give an example to install program xxx.tgz

First, extract the file with this command.

Then, move to the xxx folder

There's usually an INSTALL file. Just go read it.
If theres's no specified How To, we can move to the next step.

Compile the program with command below.

If there's nothing failed, then just go install it.

The installation is completed.

If the compiling process get stopped, usually it needs a dependency.
