Well, well, well, dear reader, so you are reading this and possibly planning to do this yourself, right? Let me tell you my story: The hardware: IBM thinkcentre M50, even with 3,5 inch floppy Pentium 4 512 RAM DDR1 333 Mhz (to be 4 GB next week) 270 GB HDD My wife uses windows occasionally for work, and some software of mine is better used on a real machine rather than as virtual machine. Both licenses for XP pro and win7 ultimate cost me about 32 EUR. After several attempts to achieve the triple boot I just discovered the lack of software to fix the MBR or GRUB bootloader. In the end I did this manually with a manjaro live CD. Anyway, the right order is XP pro, then win7 and the manjaro linux for M$ is just using ONE bootloader and XP cant insert itself into win7, but the other way around easily. In the end you will geht a boot sequence like this: pick "Windows 7" in GRUB2 and then pick "Windows 7" or "Previous version..." in M$ Bootl...

Diese Tage stellte Microsoft den Support von Windows XP ein, was schlussendlich bedeutet, dass Nutzer keine Ansprüche mehr stellen können in Richtung Aktualität, Sicherheit und Kompatibilität. Ich hatte ja schon öfter über Linux geschrieben, und ja, ich nutze es täglich, ebenso meine Frau. Und wir sind beide sehr zufrieden damit. Auf unseren Rechnern (Dell Inspiron 1300 und Lenovo E525) läuft jeweils Manjaro -Linux - jeweils sehr schnell. Da wir beide weder Spieler sind, noch Adobe Photoshop brauchen (nutzen GIMP) oder auch WORD nutzen müssen (->OpenOffice), ist die kostenlose und freie Alternative Linux perfekt für uns. Für mich spielen auch noch andere Gründe eine Rolle, wo an erster Stelle Freiheit steht, gefolgt von "Spass an der Sache"; aber allgemein ist es auch die Legalität bzw. Einfachheit Software zu bekommen. Welches Linux man/frau später nimmt, ist völlig egal, denn alle Versionen haben einen Paketmanager, mit welchem schnell mit einem Mausklick Softw...

After I have changed my debian server from rvm to use rbenv I gave it a shot for my local system: These commands should work: git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc " type rbenv" should show something like "rbenv is a function" git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv-gem-rehash.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/rbenv-gem-rehash rbenv install 2.1.1 -k rbenv global 2.1.1 gem install rails   But unfortunately first ruby and then rails were not working as good on manjaro/arch as on debian. So I had to find solutions: CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-readline-dir=/usr/include/readline" rbenv install 2.1.1 OR (could not get console working, tried following) curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/mislav/a18b9d7f0d...

Two posts ago I wrote about my disappointing experiences with manjaro, but after testing a beta version I am all in and love it! First: not just the graphic card was initialized correctly but also font rendering. And after getting into grips with yaourt (the arch linux user repos app) I will always go for manjaro again. It is just not simple enough for beginners with linux hence you have to install codecs by hand, meaning knowing their names. So my vote goes to mint for beginners, but for me it is perfect.

First of all, once a while I enjoy digging deep into a linux version. So I decided to use the free time before my wedding to burry my head in linux and the command line. Recently I found a site about the best distros 2013 so far and read about the upcoming rolling releases of manjaro and sabayon. A rolling release is something nice and after being stuck with kdenlive in an old version with no functional support for slow motion I considered it to be something nice always ahead with updates. Well, both manjaro and sabayon worked fine as a live cd, but installed they turned into hell. AND THE WINNER IS: fucking ATI! I will never buy a laptop with ATI again - it just sucks. Manjaro is very young and talked about as a light arch linux, but it was everything but light, and the wiki or help pages were very thin, same goes for community support: read the wiki.... do more reading.. blablabla. Sabayon is a gentle approach of bringing gentoo to the masses, and it was nice to try...
