Sam asked:

I have installed Ubuntu many times now, on all of my computers. But not my laptop because it doesn’t have enough RAM. I have a Compaq Presario 1700T. I found the documentation on doing a ’small’ install, for low memory computers but I don’t know where to download the iso. Could someone please give me the link to download the small installation iso for Ubuntu 8.04?

fastjet123 asked:

I have 26.1 hard drive space on my C drive Ubuntu requires 4 GB of disk space. Do I have enough space?

Hard drive keeps momentarily cutting out when using Vista, however it does not do this with Ubuntu?

LUg. asked:

It is not the temperature as its only 33 degrees. Is there a setting within Vista I need to tweak. I have checked the power settings and all seems fine, is there a hidden setting ? I have tested the Hard Drive using HDD Life, Health is at 91% and Performance is at 100%.

Any ideas ?

The only reason I am using Vista on one of my partitions is I was daft enough to buy it when it was first released. I hardly ever boot into it though.

How come Ubuntu doesn’t have getpid or getppid?

phossein9539 asked:

My UNIX assignment requires the use of getpid() and getppid() functions, but my Linux distro (Ubuntu) outputs saying that such commands are not found.
I was wondering though… is there a way I can fix this, or is this only specific to this distro?

I’m using the bash shell and Ubuntu 8.04. I’d be very appreciative for any assistance :)
Thanks,
