  • Algorithm derives from the name of the Islamic mathematician Al Khwariizmi, who has written Al-Jabr , a very wide spread and influencial book about indian numerals (today we call them arabic numerals) and arithmetics calculus. The word algebra derives from that booktitle.

  • As I've understood, it offers the ability to download files from different 'one-click' hosting platforms at 'premium' speed without having to pay for 'premium' at each platform individually.

  • If I was to install one more home partition from the LMDE installation USB, would it automatically fix things for me in Grub or would I have to fix things myself before or after?

    If I understand you right, you want to install two additional SSDs, one for Linux root (system), probably ext4 formatted, and one 'home' for your personal data?

    If that's the case, the boot loader GRUB is going to be installed onto the system SSD and will usually automatically detect the Windows boot loader on your current, Windows only, hard drive. If it didn't, you need to toggle an option in GRUB's configuration file and run update-grub again.

    For your home-partiotion on the other SSD, there exist two options:

    1. The home partition is Linux exclusive, probably ext4 formatted (this doesn't work with NTFS), and all your data will be stored there. Yet, afaIk, you need to install an ext4 driver in Windows to access the data when you're on Windows.
    2. The home partition is mutually accessible. (This the setup on my wifes laptop). There it's NTFS formatted and the respective folders (Documents, Downloads, Pictures,... ) are mounted one by one using bind in /etc/fstab to their Linux counterpart.

    Edit: I've forgot to mention that, first I created folders named Documents, Downloads,... on the new partition before being able to mount them in Linux.

    After copying the data in Windows from the old folders to the new ones, the old folders can be deleted and replaced by hardlinks to their new counterparts using the Windows command line or PowerShell.

  • I assume they mean they won't pay for a Hue Zigbee bridge, a relatively closed eco system, (and some cloud subscription or whatever they mean with Hue Premium) and new (expensive) Hue bulbs, but they already have Hue bulbs in use in an ad-hoc mode with a Zigbee controller.

    dpkg doesn't resolve dependencies (that's a feature of apt) which means that if you install a Debian package with dpkg, you'll have to manually install all dependencies first, and they won't be marked as automatically installed

    Usually installing a manually downloaded package and its dependencies works like this:
    # dpkg -i package-file.deb
    # apt-get -f install

    So apt-get can be used to install missing dependencies afterwards while marking them as automatically installed.
