  After commissioning, the directory/tmp is still 5 GB in size.

  DF h shows still all original directories according to their original format.

  Should what steps I take for on the partition, volume, file system, etc. to enable the directory/tmp 50 GB?

• How can I add a Linux system for a computer restore LAN Windows

  I have 3 MS Windows computers on a Linksys LAN router. There are two available printers by all three computers. I acquired a 1 terabyte computer with Centos6 installed. So far, I was able to conect to my router and installed the program email Evolution and also installed the Firefox browser. What I can't do, is add printers and communicate with other computers... It seems to work as a standalone computer. This question might be more appropriate for a Linux forum, but I thought I would try here first of all, I would really appreciate any help from anyone who might have some experience with Linux. Mine is limited as I do this as a project of learnng Linux.

  Bruno

  What you do not specify how the printers are connected to the network.  They are directly connected to the router with a cable of TCP/IP or are they connected to a Windows computer with a USB cable?  If it's the latter, then to access printers or files shared on your Windows machine, you will need to communicate with NetBios over TCP/IP (NetBT or NBT).  Linux machines usually use the 'Samba' program to achieve this.

• Is there really a customer Cisco VPN for Linux? _Really? _

  Hello people,

  I finally after almost a brain aneurysm trying to think too hard I have my Cisco 881 - SEC - K9 router configured properly for a multi-point my Amazon Virtual Private Cloud IPSec VPN tunnel, so that the obstacle is finally spent, and I think that it has been a very important step in my life somehow. I never thought I'd see the day, I actually got my hands on a legitimate Cisco non - stink... uh... I mean, non-linksys router. Now I can't find a "client" VPN for Linux program. I am running a Xen Hypervisor environment on openSUSE Linux because it is the only Linux distribution that fills all my laborious requirements in a Linux server environment. It is also the most mature and sure Linux on this planet, making it the most significant Linux distribution for my research needs.  Using NetworkManager is not really an option for a Linux based server environment and OpenVPN is just too complicated to understand for my little tiny head.  I've heard of some mysterious "easy VPN", but after that hours of digging online there is no information on this subject, even the Cisco download link leads to a Page not found error.  I see a Linux VPN API for the AnyConnect program, but is it a real VPN client, or just an API?  It seems to want my money to download it, but I have no money nor I really know what it is because it's all closed, the secret-like source and I can not even find a simple README file on him explaining what it is exactly.  I'm just a developer of off-work software attempts to connect to my home for personal use router and I can not really afford to more than $ 1 million for a single program I will only need to download once in my life that should have been included with the router in the first place of the fork. I have that more volunteer will probably not yet able to understand how to use the program when even because I don't know anything about VPN connections, that's why I bought this router so I can try to figure it all out as part of the open source nonprofit, research, I am currently conducting.  Is there some sort of period of evaluation or trial for personal use? Which would be really good if I could at least know if I will be able to understand or not.  I hate throwing money when it is in such a shortage these days. Is there really no alternative to a Cisco router.  It is an absolute necessity for the things I'm trying to accomplish, so try to settle for something else and past with my life isn't really an option. No, it's something that I just need to raise its head on and finish.

  I may be a little too crazy in me for my own good, but I don't see why it should take so much money just to learn to do something for personal use, it is not really a skill that I would never use otherwise.  Wouldn't be great if Cisco did their VPN client open-source and free for the public to use and modify, improve, learn and to grow and bring the whole world together in a community? Even the source code to the discontinuous old Cisco VPN client could be used as a tool for learning valuable for some poor student hungry or developer of Open Source software somewhere trying to cope with Sauce and Ramen noodles noodles Ramen on toast (don't tell me you've never thought about it).  With the ripple effect, it would significantly improve sales over time, because it would open the door to a whole new market where could those who previously could not afford to participate now. That's the real power of Open Source. It creates a more skilled workforce for the future by contributing openly and share knowledge. What happens if the next big internet technology and the solution to the global tyranny - the solution to end all wars forever - locked in the mind of a software developer to unemployment, which could not afford to upgrade their software to router from cisco or access the software they need because he was source closed and required engage in a costly to download service contract?  It would be just terrible, wouldn't it?  I guess there is no way to ever know for sure. I guess I'd be as happy if a kind soul out there could tell me an alternative easy to use for one always on the VPN connection that is running in the background that does not require NetworkManager or having to spend days days searching in and trying to figure out some really poor or extremely complex documents?  I apologize for all the sentences run on posed as a question, but just a few serious mental exhaustion of this, being unemployed is a few people from hard work. I really could use a vacation.  Maybe a camping on the coast trip is in order after I get this job, that sounds nice, isn't it? Nothing like a summer storm on the beach to the ocean--away from technology - to refresh the mind.

  I won't step in all the discussions in there, but you might want to look into is vpnc and openconnect.

  The two opensource projects that seem to work with devices Cisco, for a long time, I've been a user of vpnc.

  http://www.infradead.org/openconnect/

• What are the features of Mozilla Firefox for Linux?

  I found an article about Firefox Desktop features. Linux and Windows have the same characteristics?
  If this isn't the case, I need to know the characteristics for Linux.

  Firefox for Windows, Mac OS x (10.6 +) and Linux (from mozilla.org) are pretty much the same.

  You can find some of the shortcuts from the Menu and KB is a little different on the three operating systems because of their BONES in the Human Interface (HIG) guidelines followed. May also have small differences in appearance.

  For example, tools-> Options on Windows is Firefox-> Preferences on Mac and editing-> Preferences under Linux.

  Adobe is kind of screwing with Flash by Linux users only supported Flash 11.2 with security updates.

  Hello.

  Mozilla has released, on 11 July, FF 5.0.1 to bring increased compatibility with Mac OS X Lion. You said:

  Please note: users on Windows and Linux do not need and will not see the updated offer.

  Yesterday, I noticed that FF 5.0.1 for Linux and Windows are available.

  However, I can't find any credible information on the Internet which is all about. "Notice of security for Firefox", "The Mozilla Foundation security advisories" and 'US-CERT current activity' pages did not mention of FF 5.0.1 for Linux and Windows at all.

  Could you please shed some light on this particular and still mysterious version?

• Question about the care for Portege Z30A tool batteries

  Hello

  I used some thinkpads with the function to take care for the conditioning of the laptop battery.
  A useful feature is to disable if you plug the power adaptor so charged above for example, 75% of battery charge.

  It monitors the condition of the battery and advises when a cycle of preparation is necessary.
  Is there a such use for the Porteges or should I use a third party program?

  How about BatteryCare utility?

  It is a free utility that helps you keep your laptop in good condition battery.
  It monitors the battery discharge cycles and helps to increase independence and improve life expectancy. In addition, it provides detailed information battery and monitors the battery discharge cycles.

  But Toshiba also provides own software called Toshiba PC health monitor.
  It gives you a graphical overview easy to read things like the temperature of the portable computer, the fan speed and the condition of your battery.

• Partitioning of a M400 pannels for Linux

  After getting my Portege M400 working to my satisfaction on Windows, it's time to install Linux before I get bored!

  I booted from a Linux installation CD (Gentoo, to be precise) and outside of him take me a while to understand that the 2.6.17 simple kernel does not work on the M400 and switch to installation CD containing an older kernel, everything important seems to be perfectly detected.

  The next step is to resize the NTFS of Windows partition to make room for Linux. Since the M400 does not come with any installation of Windows Media, just the recovery DVDs, I want to pay attention to this topic. I'll write a disk image before proceeding, but I would like to know if there are things that I should be careful.

  I was under the impression that the recovery DVDs uses a hidden partition to restore the system to its factory condition. However, fdisk indicate only a single NTFS partition, taking up the entire hard drive. This means that there is no hidden partition to be careful after all? Also, is it possible to write the master boot record too in order to install the Linux boot loader, or should I avoid that?

  I'd appreciate it really all the advice, in particular accounts of the experiences of others with the installation of Linux on a M400.

  Thank you

  Toby

  Hello

  The hidden partition is not known to me on Portege M400 Unit.
  Of course some other laptops as a series Qosmio support a partition hidden due to the Qosmio player or other portable because of the Express media player.

  Usually the restore CD erase the whole HARD drive also partitions created.
  The old version of the recovery CD contained two recovery modes: standard and expert mode. With the expert mode, you were able to choose the partition where the OS is to be installed. I don't know about the recovery with the RECO m system CD.

  But I installed Linux on my laptop Toshiba no in different way.
  I first installed the Windows operating system, so I created a Linux partition with partition magic and in the end, I installed Linux.
