Hi Fanghua!
Can you please tell me if you have a computer nearby where your notebook
currently is that has Internet connection (by observing the fact that
you download and also send mails I presume you have)? Your problem is
only in your wireless from what I can tell based on your message. Thi
Hi!
You should really think about what you need this for and if Debian can
provide it for you. If you want to run something really lightweight
there are distros specifically designed for this and frankly even a
stripped down Debian is not meant for it. This requirement for such a
low amount o
Hi, Jos :)
Well, in order to produce 64bit binaries you would need a 64bit system
(although maybe with QEMU you can omit that but it's not worth it).
RAM-wise it's no problem to stay with 32bit because of the PAE (physical
address extension) that is a feature of the Linux kernel that you either

Hi Jos :)
Yes, there are some performance benefits but it really depends on the
scenario. Many Linux applications have lived a lot longer in a 32bit
environment hence they are better tested than their 64bit counterparts. As
for the minimum RAM required it's the same as the 32bit version (see

Hi Jos,
Usually SSDs are used to store things that you want to load as fast as
possible. Generally this includes files, that the OS requires during its
booting, application that you use very often etc. I would recommend that
you store things like Music, Documents, Videos etc. to an HDD not only
be
You have to determine where exactly is speed required with your files.
As it was already mentioned (twice) speed is required only for certain
things. Putting a video file that is opened once every couple of days is
most certainly not crutial to the system's performance. I haven't heard
anyone ever
Backups are usually supposed to be done on a different storage device
than the one that is actively used. I wouldn't include the "backup
scenario" here unless Jos is doing backups of a storage device onto the
storage device itself (if that is the case I would strongly recommend
NOT to do that).
As
This is a reply to Jos Collin's weird comment.
What kind of a comment was that? Just waste your battery because - hey! -
it will die on you anyway at some point in the future. How is battery life
NOT important for a MOBILE COMPUTER?!? The whole point of a laptop IS to
use its battery efficiently s
I understood pretty well what you said. That is why I was so flabbergasted.
You are now partially contradicting yourself. Your first post was "Battery
is not important" and now "Use it efficiently" (why if it's not important?)
and "Battery is not important" at the same time.
