Partition Editor in Debian

Is partition editor inclusive within synaptic package or where could i download it individually? Btw i'm running Debian live

My first Linux Server

Hy,

sorry if i am wrong but i could not find the right forum to post.

I heared about ZFS from a friend and after much reading i think it is the right time to build my first Linux Home Server.

I planed 1 SSD for System and as cache for ZFS, 3x 2TB Sata HDD on standard Software Raid Controller. The controller is because my mainboard can not handle this Discs.

But i am a Linux newbie (just have a Centos Web Server :D) i have some questions and hope you can help me.

- I want to use ZFS -> SSD as cache or is it the same effect if have have enough ram?
- i read that if i use SSD as cache zfs can cache e.g. Videofiles and spindown the Harddrives if there are no using of this HDDs, is that right? So i can save energy.
- I want to use it as testserver for Webdevelopment and i need php, mysql and other -> apache2 install
- i need samba network share
- i read about snapshot in ZFS, how muc space is used by a snaphot? Is it like a read only copy form the HDD?
- at this time i run windows on this machine and spindown is no problem

Wich Linux can i use for this best? Is this from above possible?

If you need more info please ask. :)

Tanks for your help

Can that long string of letters & numbers get back into an account?

So this is the second time I have locked myself out of Ubuntu by forgetting the password. I changed the password, got in, but cannot access the encrypted home folder. What does that long string of letters and numbers do? Can I get into the home folder with that? I tried a few different ways, looked all over the net for answers, but can't make progress.

Also, if there is any way to display the original password, I could use that info...

Thanks.

mayor repository ?

I have searched around and I am wondering where the main open source repository's are located?

For example I am using eclipse and have the cvs , svn, git , mercurial plugins downloaded and would like to work on some open source projects or at least download them thru eclipse's.

I have located and successfully downloaded the apache projects thru eclipse. Their is about 105 different projects in there repository.

I am curious where the linux kernel downloads are located?
I have downloaded the tar zip source files thru kernel.org site in the past but don't see where the repo location is so I can download it thru eclipse? ( it is obviously cleaner not having to untar and import into my project as opposed to downloading thru git , that is if I can find the repo location).

Also curious where the gnome , kde , gcc, grub , x11 , and other gnu open source source code repo's would be at? (meaning I need a repo location for these)

Essentially what all this boils down to is is their a repository naming convention or some site that list all the open source repositories because not all sites / projects are clear about where their project is (i.e repo located for it)
