Q. I've been wanting to play around with Linux and learn how to use it. Is it possible to run / boot it from my external USB hard drive? Is this possible to do safely but still use the hard drive for storage when I'm using Vista?
A. Yes, you can run other OSs from removable media. I have heard of some people running Windows XP from a Compact Flash card. You would need to plug the device in, then reboot. You should see your normal BIOS load screen. Press the Setup function key, then select Boot> Boot device. Select USB External HardDrive or whatever, then reboot again.
How to make my own dedicated linux server?
Q. I would like to know how to do it like those websites that offers some like "OVH", but one that doesn't consume a lot of power (that mean no screen and all) but that i can acces through filezilla and that i can ssh so i can type codes directly in the terminal. Thanks for you answer, if you don't know how to do it, can you just tell me what is the name of doing this ?
A. First, install Ubuntu Server. Then, when it is up and running, look for and install LAMP. LAMP includes everything you need to run a web server. Once set up and installed, it's very easy to activate ftp and ssh on the Ubuntu server. LAMP typically has options to enable and configure these since it knows you're going to use them. There are many many detailed guides on how to install LAMP. The Ubuntu Server installation is pretty straightforward so no guide really needed for that, but there are some out there if you need it. Too much to type in here so just Google it. You start the LAMP install by a simple apt-get command.
