Ubuntu Server 12.04 Installation from Flash Drive
Performing an operating system installation is not an easy job. You can study the steps, but you have to understand the process and wait for every progress check-points. And after years of experience, I notice this one thing that can help to speed up the time needed for an operating system installation – by means of using alternate installation media.
In the market, you can always buy an installation package that comes with a DVD/CD. Or for Free and Open Source Software (F/OSS) you can download the .ISO file from the server and later burn the image file onto a DVD or VCD.
But for me, I prefer to create a flash-drive installation media, why?
- It’s more compact to carry around
- PC access flash-drive faster!
Those are my two reasons.
2 Recommended Cloud Storage
Did you know that when the Internet was first initiated, it was called “The Galactic Network”
And I like the idea, that the internet isn’t just a virtual space, but an interconnected physical space in design. And if we are talking about physical data, they are available across the network, too.
Well, back then, the way I handle my data across the internet was by storing it on an online data storage (such as DepositFiles) and then keep the links in a text file (and take the file with me – in a flash-drive). You might think that was difficult, well it was. And I think it was similar to the times BEFORE free online storage are available. We tend to send the files onto emails – and have it downloaded when needed.
But the login-search-download steps are too much of a hassle for me. So I went for another way to handle my data, in a more simple way.
Okay, there are so many options being available out there; but to share my experience, I will discuss two online data storage that I use.
AdSense for Domains Are Going Away
What would you monetize those undeveloped domains of yours?
Well, from now on, you can opt-out Google AdSense fo Domains. Because they have decided to retire the Hosted domains product within AdSense. It’s time to seek for another domain parking providers.
