Hi there. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to a VPS server i'm renting and get that. Have no clue about what's related. "Googling" i found no answers besides "re install", the thing is I already did that 3 times with same result.

I do use aliases to turn on color for some commands by default. But I'm wondering if there's an easier way at telling my system, color is supported, don't make me use --color for grep, ls, etc.
I want to setup some VMs running as small a Linux as I can.
The criteria:
1) package system based on Apt.
2) Runs some GUI ( can be very small ).
3) Runs in as little ram as possible: in this context 64M is good and 256M is bordering on too much.
4) Install on a hd, not ram resident.
5) As littl...

Is ubuntu's /etc/init.d directory exactly equivalent (functionally) to what I presume to be the more standard /etc/rc.d/ (at least on arch)? Is there any particular reason canonical used init.d instead of rc.d for startup scripts?
The asker seems to snob Ubuntu assuming that if Arch and Ubuntu aren't doing the same thing, Arch must be using the standard; xenoterracide said it wasn't that way

How can I pause an rsync that's running?
First time I did Ctrl+C to kill it and used -P flag to run again. Is this prone to corrupt the current file transfer?
Second time I simply put MacOS to sleep (by closing the lid). Looking at the running process I can see 2 (not sure why) with a status o...
I just discovered that I couldn't add more than 4 layouts for my keyboard. Googling revealed that it was a universal limit (at least for GNU/Linux) and the only way(s) to get around it was to use some hackish way with scripts. Is there really a technical reason behind this? If yes, what is it?
