compress is a Unix shell compression program based on the LZW compression algorithm. [1] Compared to gzip's fastest setting, compress is slightly slower at compression, slightly faster at decompression, and has a significantly lower compression ratio.
A light-weight Linux distribution is a Linux distribution that uses lower memory and processor-speed requirements than a more "feature-rich" Linux distribution. The lower demands on hardware ideally result in a more responsive machine , and allow devices with fewer system resources (e.g. older or embedded hardware ) to be used productively.
Distributed compilations of software based on the Linux kernel that do not by default include systemd. Pages in category "Linux distributions without systemd" The following 56 pages are in this category, out of 56 total.
As of version 3.13 of the Linux kernel, zswap also needs to be explicitly enabled by specifying value 1 for the kernel boot parameter zswap.enabled. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 4 ] The maximum size of the memory pool used by zswap is configurable through the sysfs parameter max_pool_percent , which specifies the maximum percentage of total system RAM that ...
The Linux distribution can then be installed on its own separate partition without affecting previously saved data. [45] In a Live CD setup, the computer boots the entire operating system from CD without first installing it on the computer's hard disk.
ZFS (previously Zettabyte File System) is a file system with volume management capabilities. It began as part of the Sun Microsystems Solaris operating system in 2001. Large parts of Solaris, including ZFS, were published under an open source license as OpenSolaris for around 5 years from 2005 before being placed under a closed source license when Oracle Corporation acquired Sun in 2009–2010.
All of the Linux filesystem drivers support all three FAT types, namely FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32.Where they differ is in the provision of support for long filenames, beyond the 8.3 filename structure of the original FAT filesystem format, and in the provision of Unix file semantics that do not exist as standard in the FAT filesystem format such as file permissions.
