Linux Ubuntu 9.04 PL 3D Desktop with CompizConfig, VirtualBox and Windows XP Home SP2 PL

Abidoon — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 05:28:25 +0000

It’s my desktop in Linux Ubuntu 9.04. I used: 1. CompizConfig 2. VirtualBox 3. WinXP. It’s easy to do, rlly. When it was working it used about 700 MB RAM and 50 % of processor (opened Mozilla Firefox with plugins, VirtualBox, RhytmBox on Linux and IE6, Minesweeper and Gadu-Gadu (polish on-line communicator) on WinXP). My hardware: 2.0 GB RAM, Intel Pentium Dual Core 1,8 GHz, graphic card 512 MB. Used program to record: gtk-RecordMyDesktop. Thanks for: sausagenmuff from yt and forum.ubuntu.pl – polish ubuntu forum. To mój pulpit w Linuxie Ubuntu 9.04 PL. Użyłem: CompizConfig, VirtualBox i WinXP. To łatwe do zrobienia. Kiedy pracowało, zużywało około 700 MB Ram i 50% procesora przy włączonej Mozilli Firefox, Rhytmbox i VirtualBox na Linuxie i IE6, Saperze i GG na Windzie. Mój sprzęt: 2.0 GB RAM, Intel Pentium Dual Core 1.8 GHz i karta graficzna 512 MB. Podziękowania dla: sausagenmuff z youtube i forum.ubuntu.pl. Po tygodniu od zainstalowania Linuxa (podziękowałem Viście) stworzyłem coś takiego. Będąc całkiem zielonym jest się w stanie zrobić wiele więcej niż tutaj zaprezentowano. Przerzucajcie się na Linuxa bo naprawdę warto (przed instalacją radzę poczytać na forach). W razie, gdy więcej zdziałam, również wrzucę. W jednym miejscu uciąłem film (gdy ładował się Win). Nagrywałem programem gtk-RecordMyDesktop Pzdr all

Best Home Linux Distributions For 2010

Abidoon — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 03:46:54 +0000

HomeDistro (www.homedistro.com) has announce the top 10 list for the best Linux distributions for the home user. The purpose of HomeDistro is to put more focus using Linux on home computers. The home PC makes up over 70% of the desktop market and should not be ignored by developers and remaster geeks. The HomeDistro site reviews Linux distributions and ranks them for home PC use. This would include Notebook computers too.

There are some surprises on this years top 10 linux list. The top Linux distributions are ranked by the best combinations of reliability, simplicity, features, and speed. This is the first year we have “speed” as a major factor in the rankings. There are still millions of computers still in use that were sold when the economy was booming. Many of the recent major Linux distros with the KDE and Gnome desktop environments are sluggish on Pentium III and Pentium IV Celeron class computers from years ago.

The real surprise on this years list is ArchISO. Arch linux has always been a difficult distribution to install and configure. ArchISO makes Arch Linux a very user friendly distribution. The top distros on this years list are: Vector Standard, Linux Mint Xfce Community Edition, ArchISO Live CD, CrunchBang, DreamLinux, PCLinuxOS LXDE Edition, Zenwalk, PC/OS Linux, Salix OS (Bansai Linux), and SimplyMepis 8.0. You may have noticed that three of the distributions are based on Ubuntu, and three are based on Slackware Linux. Of course Ubuntu is based on Debian.

Want A Home Server? You Have One Already! Here’s How

Abidoon — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 02:12:41 +0000

Have you ever wondered about having your very own server and website in your closet, maybe in your den, or in you media niche, or where ever you see it fit? Well, if you’re like me, who’s always wondered how to get a home server up and running without reading forums after forums of tech-perts that only rant about how stupid newbies are, then you have serendipitously landed on this page! Go buy yourself a lottery ticket afterwards…you might just win! In this article, I will show you how simple it is now-a-days to get your home server configured and your webpage brought online, all from the hardware that you currently have.

Disclaimer: Please read this whole article in completion with complete understanding before starting any installations. If in doubt, do nothing. This article is for educational and testing purposes only . As such, it is understood that I or any persons, associates, or references are excluded from being indemnified from all and any monetary, software, hardware, personal or business lost from all or any attempts suggested by this article.

1. Use Your Laptop or Desktop PC

You should really use an old desktop PC that’s reliable enough to run 24/7/365 days a year without your business or personal data on it. No,not your Grandpa’s PC (a mainframe). Get a Desktop PC with Pentium 3 or 4 Desktop CPU. Or use a laptop PC. It doesn’t matter as long as it can run Window’s 2000 or XP at least! If you’re planing to use this for business, don’t do it, because it has no redundancies. This article is for testing a non-production personal home server. I used a “headless” (no keyboard, mouse, or video terminal)Shuttle PC with XP Media Center SP3. Remember, a server is only a software. They only call a hardware a server because of its hardware assembly redundancies in which it can host a software that specifically designed to run services for that hardware, 24/7/365 days a year. Your PC with a server software becomes a server without the hardware redundancies, so please do not use it for business or production purposes unless you place redundancies for it. Now, if you’ve installed Linux on your PC, then you’re reading this article for entertainment value. Leave now or you’ll think I am a newbie. If your PC has Windows OS installed, then I feel sorry for you. I’m joking! Let’s move on. Windows OS is okay, just as long as it’s Windows 2000, XP, or Windows 7, (AVOID VISTA if you can). It is understood that you’re already connected to the Internet with a ubiquitous router and you’re somewhat PC literate, but if not, take some courses on how to run a PC and get an ISP ASAP (if you’re reading this article from a friend’s computer, of-course). .

2. Download and install WAMP on your Windows PC

Back in the olden days, we had to install and configure the IIS, Apache, and the database software to make a web server work for a Win-tel platform. Now, all you have to do is download a package that will install and configure all of the for you for the Win-tel (Windows-Intel) machine. The package that can do this is called Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP or ”WAMP”. If you have Linux, you’ve already installed the LAMP (“L” stands for Linux instead of Windows). So, start downloading WAMP on your Windows machine. You can download WAMP (here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/wampserver/WampServer 2/WampServer 2.0/WampServer2.0i.exe?use_mirror=cdnetworks-us-1).

Home Computer Rack and Servers

Abidoon — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:27:18 +0000

This is my computer rack I use to learn about linux and mostly test stuff from work. The place I work at has a VERY small ISP side and a computer side. I ended up in the ISP side when nobody knows anything about linux. So they are off unless I need to figure out stuff from work. A correction is the two are not pIII 800 they are PIII socket 370 866 processors. All machines except for the imac have 512 meg of ram or more. The opterons have 2 gig of ram. The macs have mac osx server 10.4. I have been using linux since 96. Shortly after winderzs 95 came out.
