Linux. MountWindowsSharesPermanently. This document describes how to mount CIFS shares permanently.
The shares might be hosted on a Windows computer/server, or on a Linux/UNIX server running Samba. This document also applies to SMBFS shares, which are similar to CIFS but are deprecated and should be avoided if possible (link). (This document does not describe how to host the shares yourself, only how to access shares that are hosted somewhere else. For hosting shares, use Samba.) We're assuming that: Network connections have been configured properly.
How to Easily Install Ubuntu on Chromebook with Crouton. Installing Kubuntu on a Samsung Chromebook.
I am a huge fan of Chromebooks and so is Linus Torvalds. He believes that “…Chromebooks are the kind of things that will make the year of the desktop more possible.” I love Chromebooks not only because they run the Linux-based operating system Chrome OS, but also because they are inexpensive and the app ecosystem around the OS is evolving rapidly. The device needs zero maintenance. TOMAHAWK. TUXEDO Book BU1402 - 14 Zoll matt Full-HD IPS + Ultrabook + Intel Core i7-4760HQ + Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5200 + zwei HDD o. SSD + bis 16GB RAM.

How to create and manage LXC containers on Ubuntu - Xmodulo. While the concept of containers was introduced more than a decade ago to manage shared hosting environments securely (e.g., FreeBSD jails), Linux containers such as LXC or Docker have gone mainstream only recently with the rising need to deploy applications for the cloud.
While Docker is getting all the media spotlight these days with strong backing from major cloud providers (e.g., Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure) and distro providers (e.g., Red Hat, Ubuntu), LXC is in fact one of the earlier container technologies developed for Linux platforms. If you are an average Linux user, what good does Docker/LXC bring to you? Well, containers are actually a great means to switch between distros literally instantly. Suppose your current desktop is Debian. You want Debian's stability. Even without all the goodies of Docker, what I like about LXC containers is the fact that LXC can be managed by libvirt interface, which is not the case for Docker.

How to check package dependencies on Ubuntu or Debian - Xmodulo. A typical .deb package relies on other packages to install and operate properly.
With package managers such as apt-get and aptitude, you can resolve package dependencies, and have all prerequisites installed automatically.

In the following, I will explain how to check package dependencies on Ubuntu or Debian. Best way to backup all settings, list of installed packages, tweaks, etc? Enlightenment E19 Desktop Environement For Ubuntu 14.04/14.10/Linux Mint 17.

GNOME Boxes is a native GNOME 3 application for accessing remote machines and local virtual systems, primarily using the libvirt technology. Consider it an alternative to VirtualBox and VMPlayer. It’s being a usable application for quite some time, but with the release of GNOME 3.14, I decided to give it a test drive to see how far it has come.
Luckily, it came installed by default on the alpha release of Fedora 21. This post shows off some of the capabilities of this native GNOME 3 application with regards to creating and accessing a Guest OS on the local machine. Kinivo releases a pair of inexpensive Linux-friendly USB wireless adapters. Nowadays, if you buy a laptop, it will have a built-in wireless card (desktops; not always). For the most part, these integrated cards work well -- on Windows. You see, most manufacturers build their machines with only Windows in mind. If you only use Microsoft's operating system, you should be golden.
However, for nerds that like Linux (including myself), nonexistent or problematic wireless drivers can be an absolute nightmare. The EvoLution Linux Project - Home. HTG Explains: What Runlevels Are on Linux and How to Use Them. When a Linux system boots, it enters its default runlevel and runs the startup scripts associated with that runlevel. You can also switch between runlevels – for example, there’s a runlevel designed for recovery and maintenance operations. Traditionally, Linux used System V-style init scripts – while new init systems will eventually obsolete traditional runlevels, they haven’t yet. For example, Ubuntu’s Upstart system still uses traditional System V-style scripts. What’s a Runlevel? When a Linux system boots, it launches the init processes. init is responsible for launching the other processes on the system.
However, there isn’t just one single set of startup scripts init executes. More specifically, init runs the scripts located in a specific directory that corresponds to the runlevel.

If you are a gamer and a Linux user, you probably were delighted when GOG announced a few months ago that it will start proposing games for your favorite OS.
If you have never heard of GOG before, I encourage you to check out their catalog of “good old games”, reasonably priced, DRM-free, and packed with goodies. However, if the Windows client for GOG existed for quite some time now, an official Linux version is nowhere to be seen. So if waiting for the official version is uncomfortable for you, an unofficial open source program named LGOGDownloader gives you access to your library from the command line.
