Gnome Box Utility

Well, Well, the Box Utility of Gnome is amzingly good.

I used Firefox and then google and my email and my blog piece and started editing the piece.

Not only its saves my time it also do not stress my hardware since it is using only 25% of my RAM.

Mind you I am using Xfce and not KDE like Microsoft Windows take lot of RAM at boot time.

I am going to download a Linux distribution through it.

First Time I used a Slakware Distribution Sackel and it boots well inside the BOX.

Gnome Box Utility

Gnome's BOX Utility is a Virtual machine where one can mount Live Linux System for testing.

One need not run them in FULL RAM as usual.

It reserved 2GB RAM out of 8GB RAM in my NUC. 

It reserved 15GB Disk space for storing Live Images. 

Overall a good utility for Linux Guru as well as a newbie. 

Well today, I tested Russian ALT Linux in the box and this distribution is based on Light Weight Mate Desktop which I have little experience. 

I love Gnome and Cinnamon Desktops by default. 

I have done almost all the testing and I am going to sleep now.

USB Stick Capacity Statements and the actual Validity

USB Stick Capacity Statements and the actual Validity

 I have been using a USB stick of supposed to be 32GB but when formatting with Gpart I found 0nly31GB.

I wondered whether I damaged it while re-partitioning to Install over 30 different Linux Images.

I could not find any data except realizing that the partition tool hide the damaged part and reformat the viable parts.

The cells in SATA disks are supposed to last long time but I do not believe the manufacturer's claims.
