zAM, fawad is right, the only way to achive this is through a volume manager. Current options are: 1. LVM 2. LVM2 3. EVMS Your choice will be limited by the distribution you use.

Re: Linux Rocks!

Depending upon what you wish to do with it, oppertunities exists for some while do not for other.
For example, there are more jobs for network administrators, php developers, etc.

If you just wish to use linux, you can use it as your desktop instead of windows.

Dear mrgenius,
the link mahin pointed out contains ntop 3.2 RPMS.
It is upto you to match the correct RPM with your system.
If you can't match the correct RPM, then what are you doing running Enterprise Server?

Re: no Login on reboot

Let me put some light on the situation. 1. HAL is a hardware abstraction layer, it provides the linux system with capability to make hardware just work. 2.
