Linux Mint Issues
by Andrew Nduati 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Happy New Year Skunks, Now I have encountered an issue with Linux Mint "Cinammon" where it claims it does not have enough disk space. It's on dual boot with Windows 8. I have tried using Gparted to format a 300gig partition to ext4 then have the 4GB allocated to mint "extend" to it(and vice versa). That way Mint would have 304GB. Is there any way of making the linux partiton get to the 300gig? Or do I have to get rid of mint? Thanks in advance.

Sending mail attachments

Hello skunks, I have a small office with 512/512 Kbps dedicated. Number of users is 6 (not heavy users but send quiet a number of mails per day) Is this bandwidth sufficient to occasionally send files between 5-10MB's? I noted that sending more than 5MB makes outlook on some, especially older computers enter "hung mode" Do I need to have the bandwidth increased? The client is kind of cost conscious. Kindly advice, Jeff

I wonder how this would have been handled, if it was in KE. I see the PTV already screwed up in an attempt to 'protect themselves' despite having been genuinely contacted. http://goo.gl/Z04c4a -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."
