Hi Ardhian,
Great piece on Installing SAP ERP 6.0 EhP 8 on MaxDB 7.9, I’m a fan of the ‘flowery’ style Looking forward to more long form articles ??
Totally new to Linux. I am running an older Acer Aspire one laptop with a 1.6 ghtz processor and plenty of ram. I downloaded Linux Mint (Cinnamon version) along with the proper unetbootin-windows-613 to my 8gb blank USB…well, I believe it is the proper version. I did get the 32 bits as that is what my system is.
The ext3 file system is an enhanced version of the ext2 file system. The most important difference between Ext2 and Ext3 is that Ext3 supports journaling. After an unexpected power failure or system crash (also called an unclean system shutdown), each mounted ext2 file system on the machine must be checked for consistency by the e2fsck program.
But nice Article Mate! Great Information! Keep up the good work!
Merci,
Kevin
