I like Ubuntu, but one thing that has always annoyed me about it was that it adds a lot of different Grub menu items that I never use. This isn't the end of the world, but I like to have my menus nice and neat, and this menu is not nice and neat at all.

The only thing I currently use Grub for is to choose if I want to boot into Windows, Ubuntu, or any other operating system I might have installed at the time. This tutorial will show you how to remove the old versions of the Linux kernel, the recovery mode options, and remove the memory test (memtest86+) options.

In openSUSE it's easy to install Octave. All you have to do is add the Pacman repository, search for Octave, and mark it for installation. For some, people the base version of Octave is enough for what they need to do, but sometimes additional packages are necessary for more specialized tasks.

2. Download Octave Packages
3. Install Octave Packages

I was in this very situation just recently, but as you can obviously tell, not anymore! This is going to be a very simple and non-technical guide on how to get your website online. I found that most of the guides I found on the internet were either overly complicated, or focused solely on one aspect of the process. This left me searching for guides on the other parts. Now lets get started. The process basically comes down to three steps:
