For PHP, MySQL, Apache, other servers and more complicated stuff/settings you need a decent sized pen drive say 16GB and this is liitle costly comparing to traditional Hard-disks.

For installing linux on pen-drive , plug in a blank pen-drive(4gb or more), insert linux installation cd/dvd. Restart. Chose to install your operating system on that pen-drive(you need to format it under installation process), select boot loader in your main hard disk, do not use swap partion. Install and restart when required. Eject cd/dvd. Note: you must plug in your pen-drive when using linux.
Hi iijmanojit,

Thanks a lot for the wonderful reply. Since I am not Linux savvy, please do help me with the following. Sorry, if they are stupid questions.

1. I have an old laptop with Windows XP on given by my company. It has all the legal versions of software on it. It has only one OS and that is Win XP with no partition or any other OS. So if I decide to download Ubuntu then I go to this page.

Download | Ubuntu

Here in the first section titled Download Ubuntu Desktop Edition , which one should I download from the dropdown menu? Ubuntu 10.10 Latest Version or Ubuntu 10.04 - LTS?

What is the difference if any?

2. If I do download any one of the above mentioned 2 versions of Ubuntu, will it have all the servers, Apache, MySQL, Office etc? I just want to use my USB pen drive of more than 4 GB just like any other hard drive. I also want to save office documents and also do some changes/settings/modifications within Ubuntu on the pen drive. Will it save all the changes/settings and created files/documets etc.

3. On the same download page there is another links as follows:

Other ways to get Ubuntu
Order CDs >
Ubuntu Server Edition>
Ubuntu Netbook Edition>


Download | Ubuntu

I am not sure whether I should download the Ubuntu Server Edition. Does the new Ubuntu 10.10 has all the servers and technically complicated things (generally handled by experience Linux admins etc.)

4. Once I download Ubuntu on my Windows XP hard drive, I need to burn it to a CD/DVD and then insert this Cd/DVD into the drive and at the same time insert the pen drive and then restart the pc, right? So both the Cd/DVD and pen drive should be inserted while restarting the pc, am I correct here?

TRAI to come out with recommendations on National BroadBand Plan

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 02:44 AM PST

then , they will Use Wireless (wimax to reach out u )

Well, U must tell Gov and other babu log that , broadband is like Food, Shelter, Cloths and mobile . it is an integral part of everyday today life , so it must received lower tax and other red tapism( harrasemnt by officials )

BSNL is still providing good broadband , but speed is still 2mbps , even after 4 year , then Telecom minister Maran did good job by increasing bsnl broadband speed to minimum 2mbps ,
Other ISP provider like Relaince and Airtel is also proving Landline cum braodband service in cities , but their service have lot lot and lot of condition , and we received double the amount of what we think before purchasing their service. That is the reason we still stuck up with BSNL , otherwise ,

Enjoy guys!!

I agree with Emil....Advanced System Care, and its Sub-utilities, that are to be downloaded, are pretty fine!! Especially given the fact that such nifty apps come for free!!

But same messenger client works in other network like BSNL,TATA,MTL etc... i need reason why i con't use clinet messenger voice domination. In airtel network did u block any port or any restrick in airtel ISP. i check via team viewer with yahoo friends they said problem is airtel broadband line.... that only am asking the reason...
I don't think Airtel blocks any ports - I may be wrong. I myself downloaded Ysupra 1.0.0.62 and was unable to use voice either - perhaps you need to ask on Ysupra and Yhook websites why voice is not working.

I don't personally see much use for this software but I guess some people are finding use for it.

I should probably note I'm not on Airtel Broadband - I'm in another country on a fairly-fast connection and it is not working here either.

I want to know the present exact recharge price for unlimited 3g including taxes...I mean what should I tell the shopkeeper to recharge my sim with....how much amount.... I want the unlimited plan for 1 month...not for 3 or 4 months

another question the sim validity was till 19th oct 2010....so with how much should I recharge to increase the validity?

thank you
You cannot recharge for your sim as its already expired on Oct 2010, better buy a New 3G sim and activate...

Google's netbook running on Chrome OS

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 01:05 AM PST

I dont think it will take 2 years for chrome to catchup. Startup time of 10 secs is something which is great to hear, compared to the painful start time of windows. I would like to own one, if I had enough money.. :)
The success of this lies on the stability and security of the OS, and how well it can integrate MS office and outlook.
