It is a distribution of Ubuntu. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Long Term Support) is named Precise Pangolin and was released on 26 April 2012.
If you want to dual-boot Linux and Windows 7, you will need to install Windows 7 first and then Linux.
I would rather recommend installing each on OS on a separate hard drive with a separate boot record. To achieve that, you need to disconnect all hard drives but one you want to use for OS. Finish installation and disconnect the drive with freshly installed OS. Connect next drive and install other OS. Once you have finished installing all OSes. Connect all drives and use BIOS boot menu to choose from which drive to boot.

How do you hide a folder in ubuntu 11.04?

Which command display all the file systems and the amount of data used by each?
On most Linux distros, try this command:
$ df -m
The df command is popularly considered to stand for disk free, though I don't really know if this is fact or myth.
Caveat: The above command will only display information on mounted file systems.
A lock file is used to synchronization. A program or process can check for the lock file, and if it is present and the current process does not own the lock file then some operations may be prohibited to the calling process.
It is a way of making sure that other processes do not interfere with operations. For example, if you start the line printer spooling software it can create a lock file. This will stop other attempts to duplicate the line printer spooler because it is already running.
Is ubuntu Linux is the best flavor?
This is too subjective to answer. What may be the "best" Linux distribution for one user will be despised by another for a few reasons. I personally do not care for Ubuntu as an Arch user. I don't generally recommend it anymore for new Linux users in favor of Mint because I believe Ubuntu's "suitability" is slowly decreasing due to how its developers seem to think. The planned Wayland switch will probably make Ubuntu irrevocably broken for a lot more users than the Pulseaudio switch.
To me, the developer mentality of community involvement only seems to fly as far as third-party contribution and their developers have a nasty habit of ignoring the Ubuntu community in favor of whatever changes they decide are best for everyone despite outcry (PA was a very unpopular decision, Unity was even more unpopular. Instead of listening, the Ubuntu devs have made it nearly impossible for their users to switch away from both without major issue.).
That attitude was why I switched to Arch, which emphasizes heavily on user choice and doesn't force me to use options the developers "like" for me. I do grant Arch has gotten some criticism as of late for not being as transparent with its decision making as it should. And you should have seen the outcry that came when they switched to systemd as the default init system. Arch is also not the "best" either, as it's certainly not for everyone, being a distribution more geared to intermediate-advanced Linux users capable of resolving Linux issues themselves or finding help for themselves.
Burning alcohol for fuel is a very efficient process true or false?
Wrong. Overall its manufacture leads to more emissions:
- The growing of crops (diverting them from use as food), the harvest, transportation, fermentation and distillation to produce a fuel with less energy density y than hydrocarbons makes no sense at all.
- The conversion of hydrocarbon to alcohol adds an energy intensive step into the manufacturing processes and again makes no sense.
As far as tailpipe emissions, Alcohol gasoline mixtures decrease the emissions of CO2, as well as the emissions of some harmful toxics, such as benzene (a carcinogen). However, it increases acetaldehyde emissions, which is "reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen" and is moderately reactive for ground level ozone formation.
What does the kudzu utility do in Linux?
takes care of many hardware changes.
If i install Linux on PC1, and then put the disk onto PC2, Kudzu will actually note the different vireo, network, audio, etc card, ask you if it should remove the "old" software, and install the "correct" software. I move a disk from a rather old machine, to a new one. Kudzo noticed the difference, and mad the corrections. I mist admit, I was impressed, and amazed.

How do you get ubuntu to load?
Your version is probably too heavy for your system. Try downloading Lubuntu or Linux Mint LXDE from their sites and burn them on a disk. Both are significantly easier on old computers compared to Ubuntu.
Go to ubuntu.com and click the button for "Get Ubuntu". The fastest way to get a CD is to download a CD image (it will be a .iso file), and burn it to a CD. The file will be almost 700Mb, which can take 4-8 hours on a broadband connection. Note that the contents of the .iso file must be burned on a disc, not the .iso file itself. To do this, you will need a CD burning application such as InfraRecorder (infrarecorder.org), which will burn the data in the .iso to disc. It may be a wise idea to backup important files you don't want to lose at this point. If you intend to completely overwrite all your files and previous operating system, or if this is a new computer, you don't need to.
Boot your computer with the CD in the drive. You may have to change settings in your BIOS to make the computer boot from the CD. At the Ubuntu menu, select either "Try Ubuntu Without any Change" or "Install Ubuntu". If you "Try Ubuntu", you will be taken to a working desktop environment, and there will be a shortcut on the desktop to install. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Ubuntu. If you are installing alongside an existing operating system and you do not want to destroy it and all your data, be sure you select the option to resize existing partitions and install side by side. Changes made after this point are generally irreversable. Once you have given the installer all necessary information and options, it will install Ubuntu on your system. Depending on your hardware, this can take up to 30 minutes, but most modern systems should install fairly quickly. Shut down and restart your computer. Ubuntu will instruct you when to remove the CD from the CD drive. When you reboot, you will see your new Ubuntu installation. From here you can check for updates (there are always updates), set up drivers for your hardware, and install new programs. To connect to the internet initially, you will most likely need to connect to a wired network by ethernet.
How do you install an HP DeskJet 895Cxi on Ubuntu?
Hi,
I've just plugged in a Deskjet 895CXi via USB. It was recognised immediately and installed by Ubuntu 10.04LTS but when printing a test page it says I'm using the wrong driver! I went to the HP site, found and downloaded "hplip-3.11.12.run". I deleted the printer and then ran the downloaded file in a terminal. It took about 10 minutes to install, following all the default options and instructions. Works perfectly now :-)
