windows - Rename an account from XP command prompt

Missing disc space on Ubuntu Hardy

I have a Dell Mini 10 running Ubuntu Hardy. I ran out of disk space; looking at Disk Analyzer I noticed that in addition to the standard /dev/sda2 filesystem, there was a second called gfvs-fuse-daemon, each with 50% [5.9G] of my available disc space [11.8G]. Reading around a bit, it seems that gvfs has decided a network drive is in fact a root partition href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simplebackup/+bug/227753" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simplebackup/+bug/227753 I unmounted gvfs-fuse-daemon, which removed it from the partition list but unfortunately didn't free up the 5.9G - I think it's somehow 'hidden' and would like it back as I am chronically short of space. I'm certain this is related to plugging in a badly- formatted USB drive a couple of weeks ago. Re...

routing - IPv6: differences between "routed prefix" and "link prefix"?

What are the exact differences between "routed prefix" and "link prefix" for IPv6? How do these differences in a wireshark-Trace? (if you observe a Host with an assigned "routed prefix" or a Host with an assigned "link prefix"). How do these differences in the Neighbor Discovery Protocol? (from the point of view of an other/external Host) Do they working together , these two types of prefixes?

linux - Which *light* ubuntu to use as a git central server?

At my company we're currently using a self-deployed copy of the noreferrer">http://gitorious.org code to manage our repositories.. It's an absolute monster!! Gitorious is a very heavy ruby on rails app and the server crashes about every 2 weeks.. It's running Ubuntu Server 10.04 And it has 1GB of RAM!! Were a team of about 5 developers with currently about 10 repositories including stuff like vim configs etc.. I'm thinking about switching us back to gitosis running on an old CLI / Server edition of ubuntu.. Ideally i'd like to have it running as light as possible on a box with 256mb of ram.. Which ubuntu is new enough to support all the gitosis dependancies and but old enough to cope under 256mb of ram? Thanks very much Daniel ...

We use gitosis in house, manage a bunch of repositories that are about 20G in size compressed and have a lot of developers accessing them 24/7. The server usage is very light, never had an ...
