Depending on the distro... you need to limit the output per phase. You can use 2 16amp and 1 32 amp per phase.
Yes, IF the generator has overcurrent protection and each circuit on your distro is individually protected as well (most are). You will not be able to load the distro to it's full capacity of 125 amps (obviously), you will be limited by the genny's rated output.
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power
at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND
always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes
(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)
to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

480 volts 3 phase is not a household service in any country and cannot be dealt-with as a DIY project.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.AnswerYou cannot obtain 240 V from a 480-V three-phase supply, if you are describing a three-phase, four-wire, system. If 240 V is a phase voltage, then the corresponding line voltage must be 415 V. If 480 V is a line voltage, then the corresponding phase voltage must be 277 V.
There are a few different virtualization packages available for Linux. These include VMWare, VirtualBox, and Parallels. VirtualBox is free, whereas Parallels and VMWare cost money. VirtualBox is also provided by most distro's repositories, so it is the easiest solution to set up. After you have installed VirtualBox, click "New Machine" or "New", depending on what version you have. Name your machine something appropriate, like "Windows XP." On the next page, specify the amount of RAM. Windows XP will need at least 64 MB, but 256 MB is a more reasonable minimum. Next, create a hard drive. You have two options. One is a dynamically sized image. This image does not occupy as much space on your hard drive immediately, but will expand as you put more stuff on Windows XP. It is also slightly slower. The other option is to create a fixed-size image, which will perform better, but also occupy more space on your hard drive, even if you don't need it. Now that you have given the machine a name, RAM, and a hard drive, it will ALMOST be done. By default, it does not enable sound or USB (if you have the OSE version, there is no USB). It also will attempt to boot from the empty hard drive . Click the options on the right side of VirtualBox to enable a sound card, and to "insert" a CD. You can choose either an ISO image or your actual CD-ROM drive to boot from. Once you have done this, start the machine. You should see Windows XP setu begin. Continue the installation, just as you would on a real computer. Once Windows XP is installed, go to Devices > Install Guest Additions on the box that you are running XP in. This will "insert" a CD that provides extra drivers, and allows you to move your mouse and copy-paste between Linux and XP.
There are amny tutorials on the web to do this. I would first look at what I wanted to concentrate on. Do you want to program for the web? games? business? be a hacker?. There are a lot of opportunities out there if one is willing to work. PHP and XML besides a good basis in C++ are good nowadays. Get yourself a good Linux distro like Ubuntu 7.04 or Fedora 7 and start playing around with shells and that will get you into the real programming world. Forget about windoze that old hack will soon wear out. The future is in Linux. Don't just take my word for it. My brother works for IBM (and has been a programmer for over 40 years, goes back to the days of punched cards, if anybody remembers that) and he says the same thing.
It's an abbreviation for distribution.
The term 'distro' means a set of software components, typically open source components, that have been packaged into a larger product or component for distribution to end-users.
A Linux distribution, known as distro or flavor, is an operating system that uses the Linux Kernel. I think the most common one is Ubuntu.
Distro Kuomboka was created in 1979.
Most modern Linux distributions have a method of updating the system without requiring a clean install. The exact procedure for this varies by distro.
That depends on what steps you used in the installation program.
Any distribution using a kernel newer than 2.6.8 (aka any distro except the Small Linux that you'll find in 2009).
As with any program, installation instructions vary by distro. Most distros should have Pencil in their repository, though, so if you know how to install programs on your distribution, you should be able to install it.
The updates are provided by the distribution maintainers. You can usually update through your distro's package manager (if it has one). Major updates may be made only between releases and you may have to completely reinstall to update.
Whichever distro you're most comfortable with.
There are several good distro's of linux, it really just depends on what you are trying to do with it. ie programming, regular desktop use, or trying to run a server. One of my favorites is debian, but if your a new user I would suggest ubuntu or opensuse.
There's no mention of a specific distro being used in any specifications that are available on the internet. It is thus likely a custom / from scratch creation for the device.
