I tried ubuntu it is good but it needs a lot of disk space i just need to run the perl thing Here is the config i used Quote:
Also one most common thing i need is SCREEN what is it and how to use it actually for example i want a multiple instace of a profram (.pl) so when i am in console it is not multitasking (I know linux can multi task but how) so i want to open a program and send it back (bacground process) than again i will get the console i will again do the same process again and again until 5 - 8 times. Kindly help and also is there any compact distro that can do this work or is able to easily customize for this kind of work (Please give me a easy alternative already gone for UBUNTU i want a quick info please i am in trouble) |
