Thread: CMN goes Linux

8.10 with its usually quirky name has been released so hers a link to a few tips for you Linuxers out there

Linux: Five Tweaks for Your New Ubuntu Desktop

quite happy with the version I have at the moment.

anybody tried 8.10?

are there any benefits?

if it aint broke......

missed that,

duly noted and redded !!!

No idea if this is of use or news to anyone but it was on a website I geek around on.

useful it is, thanks.

i'm changing the title of this thread to something less insulting.

bladdy power hungry mod.

I preferred the first title.

Simulation environment

Research simulation into momentum wave phenomena in almost incompressible fluids, is performed on a rather simple platform. Some basic details are listed below.

Computer
Motherboard Asus P5B SE
CPU Intel Pentium D (Celeron) (2 cpu) - 2.8 GHz
RAM Memory4 off Kingston KVR800D2N5/2G - total 8 Gb
Operating system Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 (x86_64)
Kernel 2.6.16.46-0.12-smp x86_64
Graphics ATI Technologies Inc.
Cooling CPU cooler, graphics card cooler
Additional 7 case cooling fans (local hot climate)

Software platform
FreeFem++ (Freefem++ Home Page (7-november-2005))

Current models (typical)
Domain 3×10mm rectangle
Obstruction 0.20mm circle centred at (2, 1.5)mm
Mesh ~182k triangular elements
Element types P2 - velocity; P1 - pressure; P1 - temperature
Solver Penalty-type solver for Navier-Stokes
# iterations 5000 (typical)
Memory usage ~ 7.2 Gb (typical)

Try that for size...

^ nah, looks like a crap title.

if you want to have a play , grab a flash drive ( they are cheap ) and head over to pendrivelinux.com - using qmeu you can run other distros while you are running you main OS ( give slax a try )

amarok really uses up big lumps of my PC resources.

had to get rid of it.

i need a new PC i guess.

I'll give it a whirl and see what its like, more out of boredom than anything.

probably not. More like you need some nice optimization.

What do you mean? Are you selling the system?

Nope, I'm asking someone to read the spec & operating parameters - & make an informed comment.

This is what an affordable Linux platform can do. CFD computation (Navier Stokes) is one of the more arduous simulation requirements to be asked of a stable platform. This type of environment is where Linux excels.

It was an attempt to provoke a level of high-tech computer discussion around the Linux platform.

ahh, but this is the 'help me, i'm a luddite thread'.

Spec wise its absolutely average. The software looks specialist so only yourself and colleagues would know that end. I dont really have much use for stuff that solves PDE's.

Careful. You'll hurt his planetary sized ego...

anyone try Wubi 8.10?

From what I've read on different forums Amarok is bugged and not useable. Lots of complaints about it and the whole KDE4. Most of the people has returned to the old Amarok 1.6.
