I did install both on the Virtual Machine, I am trying to understand the file structure of the linux, especially where to find the root directories, and / or how to assign a hdd to it. You are understanding me correctly sir. =\

Ahh, thanks.

The reason I asked was because I partitioned the hdd and spare 30 gigs for both desktop and the server (drive E:/) yet none of them seem to be using it and I can not find the root of the storage pan of neither of them.

Like if you know, if you go to the windows commandline, it would show c:/user/doc/filesys/etc. The Root would be the C:/

on the ubuntu server guide it asks you to go to etc/apt/apt.conf.d/....???

These type of commands I have been trying to get in to see what packages are installed and where. So I would atleast have an idea of how it is working with storage, which packages to install and where, how to organize and optimize the file system.

If its all server specific, then I would want to know how to assign the partitioned storage to the desktop so that atleast I would be at ease in terms of knowing regarding what storage pans are being used by desktop.

it would be good to know which storage is being used for servers as well. =\

EDIT: by server specific I mean that there is no way of getting in to root in ubuntu servers.
EDIT2: I will keep on experimenting with both on Vbox, but if anyone would like to add a tip to this thread, that would be great, thanks.

Although Python would be the first choice; As long as you know what you are doing, you can work with any coding language for maths.

Actually I think I am wrong entirely ;

I'll look it up for questions related to the "divisive comparisons" and "Multiplicative comparisons." Thanks you for helping me understand this so far.

ok, thanks. So;

 
=> 6 men in 14 days ; x men in 21 days.
=> 6m * 14d = xm * 21d

 6 men         x men
-------    =  --------
 21 days      14 days

I think I am starting to get that. I understood your first post, the second question as this was kind of confusing to me.

I'll try doing made up questions of these, is it possible to post more solved equations here to have others correct?

Thanks again for help.

EDIT:

This one was straight forward; =\

=> length FP / length FP-Shadow = Length FS / Length FS-Shadow

Please correct me if I am wrong; It could not be reconfigured as second because these are 2 sets of things, and it wouldnt make sense if I write as I wrote before.

In the second one we were talking about just men and days (one set of things,) not "Find the number of men and given the days spent working on one house and given the number of women and given the days spent working on one house.
If it was this case, the equation would be:

 number of men              number of women
---------------     =      -----------------
Days spent by men          Days spent by women

Please correct me if I am wrong. =\

Thanks.
