DaemonFCand if you remove Windows from one PC, you can reactivate it on another oneOct 28 13:53

DaemonFCMinceR, Microsoft's actual target with the activation thing was small system builders which would preinstall the same copy of Windows on thousands of PCsOct 28 13:56
DaemonFCbut that's actually the ones who can bypass it the easiest by flashing the BIOS on each model with an OEM SLIC key from HP or Dell or whoeverOct 28 13:57

DaemonFCso to do much other than statistics as a whole, it would be uselessOct 28 14:02
DaemonFCunless you allege that they violate that part of the agreementOct 28 14:02

shreddarI just want something that has good hardware detection but won't break suddenly because of a update. Oct 28 23:16
shreddarAlso, I want to be about to easily check my harddisk usage from kde4. (I don't know if this is ubuntu or KDE4)Oct 28 23:16
shreddarThe last time I used Sabayon I don't think I had any update problems but I think I've heard it can eventually get errors that way too.Oct 28 23:20
cubezzzfedora for meOct 28 23:20
cubezzzor LFS or embedixOct 28 23:21

oiaohmIf you are not using lvm you can use a desktop widget to monitor disk usage under kde.Oct 28 23:29
shreddarSorry pressed [Backspace] by accidentOct 28 23:30
oiaohmAlso the mount manger.Oct 28 23:30

oiaohmBut if your system is lvm they don't work.Oct 28 23:30
shreddarI don't think it's installed It's not check in the synaptic pakage managerOct 28 23:30
oiaohmIts still something on the KDE fix list shreddarOct 28 23:30
oiaohmlvm is not a program its a partitiioning system shreddarOct 28 23:31
shreddarlvm2 shows up in the package managerOct 28 23:31
shreddarIt's not checked though. Are you saying it's a bug?Oct 28 23:32
oiaohmlvm2 are management tools for lvmOct 28 23:33
oiaohmThe ubuntu installer and most moden Linuxs can isntall in lvm mode.Oct 28 23:33
shreddarHow do I find out if my system is using LVMOct 28 23:33
shreddar?Oct 28 23:33
oiaohmdf in terminal.Oct 28 23:33
oiaohmAnd you will see mounts like /dev/mapper/<something>Oct 28 23:34
oiaohmInstead of like /dev/sd or /dev/hdOct 28 23:34
shreddarNo it's /dev/sdOct 28 23:35
oiaohmOk so desktop widget should work with kde 4.3Oct 28 23:35
oiaohmYes slightly different way of getting the same inforamtion shreddarOct 28 23:36
shreddarI have KDE 4.2.2 but that's okay I think dolphin sort of does it I look at properties.Oct 28 23:39
shreddarBut I still would like a overview to see all of my partitions and the freespace I have in them.Oct 28 23:40
shreddarI lets ubuntu partition my drive (they suggested I do it but I normally just have a single one) so now I don't remember what all my partitions are.Oct 28 23:45
oiaohmThe overview is a desktop widget just does not support lvm yet.  I don't know of KDE 4.2.2 had the widget.Oct 28 23:48

shreddar"local disk" is windowsOct 28 23:52
shreddarI'm pretty sure I have a /swap partitionOct 28 23:53
shreddarAnd I think /home is a partition too.Oct 28 23:54

schestowitzI'll make some posts now. WIndows exec has just quit! Oct 28 23:56
shreddarThat reminds me the reason I've been think even more about changin distros is because of the new Ubuntu 9.10. Oct 28 23:57
shreddarI can wait a day for Ubuntu 9.10 or try Sabayon 5 now.Oct 28 23:58
