serna On Ubuntu: Multiple Monitors

serna On Ubuntu: Multiple Monitors: "For the most part, Ubuntu works pretty much “out of the box” — run the installation program, boot into Ubuntu, and you're up and running. From what I can understand, computers with multiple video cards and monitors will also work without any tweaking required. Therefore, chances are you won't need to read this article — Ubuntu/X will have done all of the work for you."

Hack Attack: How to triple-boot Windows XP, Vista, and Ubuntu - Lifehacker

Hack Attack: How to triple-boot Windows XP, Vista, and Ubuntu - Lifehacker: "I consider myself a relatively tech-savvy individual. Having built my own DVR and turned my $60 router into a $600 router, I feel pretty good about tech aptitude. However, my operating system experience is generally limited to Windows, and I've always wanted to do something about it. Ever since I first heard of this free operating system called Linux, I've wanted to stick my nose in it. With all the hype surrounding the recent release of the hugely popular Linux distribution, Ubuntu, I decided it was time I dove in."

How to dual-boot Vista with Linux (Vista installed first) | APC Magazine: "Scenario: You want the simplest way to dual-boot Vista and Linux. You've already installed Windows Vista and now want to dual-boot it with Ubuntu 7.04

Summary of tutorial: This is an updated tutorial - we previously used Ubuntu 6.10 and then modified the GRUB bootloader to force Ubuntu to recognise the Vista partition. In this tutorial, we'll use Ubuntu 7.04 which does a much better job in interacting with Vista. We'll use the Vista management tools to resize the main partition and install Ubuntu into the freed space."

How to dual-boot Vista with Linux (Linux is already installed) | APC Magazine: "Scenario: You have Linux already installed but want to dual boot it with Vista on the same hard drive.

Summary of tutorial: We'll dual-boot Ubuntu 7.04 with Vista. With Ubuntu already installed and owning the entire drive, we'll use the latest version of GParted to shrink the Linux partition to create space for a Vista install. Then, as Vista's MBR will then overwrite GRUB, we'll reinstall GRUB to the Linux partition and use EasyBCD to modify the Vista bootloader so that it will boot Ubuntu."

4sysops -- The ninth and best way to elevate a Vista application

I personaly am not sure about this one but it may make things easier foor some of you admins. Just create a scheduled task to run your favorite admin app that you need elevated permissions and create the shortcut.4sysops -- The ninth and best way to elevate a Vista application: "Some time ago, I listed eight ways to elevate a Vista application, i.e. to run it with administrator privileges. Now, I found the ninth way and I think it has one significant advantage over the others.

It lets you start a tool with Administrators rights with just a mouse click and best of all; you won’t see this ugly UAC prompt. Unfortunately, this option is a bit longwinded to set up. Essentially, you have to add a task to the Task Scheduler and configure it to run “with highest privileges”. Then you create a shortcut on your desktop referring to this task. SeanDaniel.com has a detailed description. Hey, I wonder if there is a PowerShell geek out there who can show us how to do this faster with a nice command."
