in General, Internet, Tips and Tricks
Recently, I moved to Slicehost because I was really fed up with Bluehost and their low quality web hosting. Dj Flush of Sizlopedia helped a lot to transfer my blog from Bluehost to Slicehost. While installing the web server we faced many difficulties.
The first one was that we were not able to start XAMPP on our server after installing it because Slicehost offers 64-bit machines only. XAMPP is currently only availably as 32-bit application. We will have to use 32-bit library to make it work.

How To Create A Live USB Stick Of Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy
There are several ways to install Ubuntu on your system, and those methods have proved quite handy. For instance, if you don’t have a CD/DVD-ROM, you can use your USB stick to install or run Ubuntu. Methods for installing Ubuntu through hard disk or a computer on another network are also available. But the best method I like is to use a bootable live Ubuntu USB stick.
This is a new method and is being adopted and used by many, since it’s more easier, faster and portable way of installing Ubuntu on a computer. You only need a 1GB USB stick and Ubuntu already installed on a computer.
