1. Linux is less prone to system crash unless the hardwares are failing or the kernel i simproperly configured. The Windows analogy is similar but not applicable. For instance data corruption can occur in Windows in case of a system crash if the database in "E:" drive is in use at the time of the crash. "/usr/local" if in a separate partition does not insure against data corruption, but is helpful in preserving the data in case you decide for a system upgrade. The best way to keep your data safe is to have regular backups of your sensitive data, on removable media. The options are many and softwares like BRU can be of help.
2. Regarding kernel panic you haven't said when it occurs and what are the exact messages. 3. Regarding hot technologies under Linux, you may regularly visit sites like linuxtoday.com to keep your self updated. -- narsingh --- santosh dubey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi All, > > Please give solutions to my problems: > > PROBLEM 1: > > Where should I keep my data in a linux system to > protect it from system crash? > > As in windows, if o.s. is in c drive and my data is > in e drive then if windows crashes then I can > retrieve back my data from e drive safely. > > In my machine , I have following partitions: > > / > swap > /usr > /home > > I figured, it is /usr/local…am I right?
