I know removing ubuntu on a dual-boot machine and restoring the windows's bootloader is a simple task of popping in the windows disk and hitting on repair. I've done this before on my old laptop, quite a few times. But that was quite a long time ago.
Now, the laptop is not in a very... pristine ...
@HackToHell i'm just saying, in comparison, 49MB even on a low-ram VPS is not a true concern. I'd stop the service if it causes problems... but dont uninstall
i tried that once, it broke a few things including networking
hasnt tried since
@MarcoCeppi blame @Sathya for anything that happens here.
Named is all DNS stuff, if you're hosting a nameserver on your server it'll stop working. Some companies require you to run your own nameserver for your domains on a VPS
@HackToHell then you can likely remove it. Though you'll want to make sure dnsmasq is installed or if that's using it. That does DNS lookup caching for your machine
@Marco i'll pay you $20 to set up bind on my dedi, after i get it up and running on business-class internet (Comcast is evil slow at this). i've not yet been able to configure it correctly myself, so....
@HackToHell it's pretty much the most efficient way to run php with nginx. Put microcaching with Nginx and you've got a rather efficient low memory footprint
I'm a new user to Ubuntu. And I do install some software. I see many tutorials uses symbolic link to a directory. Like this :
ln -s
Are there any advantages of using this way? Or it is the way it should be done?
@nitstorm I don't think it's a duplicate of that question. That (proposed dupe target) asking a very specific question, which got very specific answers. And it's a question about C programming.

I just read the manpage for symlinks, but I still dont get it ... so hardlinks are pointers to the file/dir. Then symlink is a pointer to a pointer? Whats the use of a symlink then? Why/when should I use on...
I've reopened this because it deserves a good generic answer on this issue (unlike the previous question that was an obscure C example). — OliMay 18 '11 at 14:50
I tried to use the usb-creator.exe from Ubuntu 10.10 desktop i386 ISO image and it does create an USB stick that doesn't boot. When I try to boot from it I get: "Operating System not found".
I try to do this from Windows 7 x64. I'm not looking to create a live Ubuntu media, only an installation ...
@JorgeCastro This is the kind of information I was thinking we needed, when I posted this comment. But the image is really old (in particular, that menu item doesn't say "CD" anymore.
well if you had two computers near you you could boot form a USB stick and then use Ubuntu from there. they wouldn't know if you did it if you only ran it from a live CD. :)

We have BarCamp Bangalore 12 coming soon on August 25, 2012 at SAP Labs, Whitefield, Bangalore. If you're in/around Bangalore, I would like you all to come :)
@GeorgeEdison Nice work on NitroShare! I really like the idea. I haven't much use or it right now, but a few years ago that would have saved me a lot of time. thank you! I've started on translating it to Swedish, somebody might need that one day. Good luck with the development! :)
I want to know why the named daemon is running, do I need it running for my VPS to work properly ?
Can I stop or remove it ?
