  • Linux - Eminent Choice Or Not? - Linux has been something like monotony nowadays. Its fame makes it being the talk of the town - various Linux downloads, Linux programs, etc... And what's great about this is - it's all for free!
  • Linux vs Windows Web Hosting - When choosing a web hosting solution the first thing you should consider is the proper operating system for your project. The major hosting operating systems include Microsoft Windows and Linux.
  • Top Ten Reasons For Learning Damn Small Linux - Number 1, It's Free - Are you old enough to remember the 1992 Janet Jackson song entitled The Best Things In Life Are Free? Or maybe you are so old that you can remember the 1956 Hollywood movie of the same name.
  • Yet Another Reason To Learn Linux - Linux Certifications - There are currently four programs that enable people to become certified as Linux Systems Administrators. These programs are offered by the Computing Technology Industry Association, the Linux Professional Institute, the Novell Corporation, and Red Hat, Inc. The first two are professional industry associations whose certification programs do not depend on any specific Linux distribution. Novell and Red Hat Linux certifications are closely associated with their popular Linux distributions. Should you wish to prepare for either of these two certifications you will definitely need access to their Linux version.
  • The Top Ten Reasons For Learning Linux, Number 10 A Potpourri Of Reasons - And we now complete our series comparing Linux to Windows. This article lists and briefly describes several additional advantages of Linux. We would not be surprised if Linux buffs come up with still other advantages that are not mentioned here. When you seriously get into Linux you become a member of a special community. Whenever you have a Linux problem you can go to an on-line forum. It usually isn't very long before someone has the answer. You have full access to the complete Linux operating system. You can learn how things actually work.
  • Linux: Find Files Containing Text - Because of our being forgetful in nature, we oftentimes forget the files that we have created. We can only be fortunate if we can still remember the path, folder, or directory where we have stored those missing files. If that's the case, it would never be a big deal then. However, trully this a big problem and even painful if we can't even remember where we have placed the missing files in our computer. "Simple," I'm hearing you... "find it." Yeah, we can find it. But wait, do you know the filename? Forgetting files and forgetting the filenames are most common in us. I will never believe somebody out there have a photographic memory and has never experienced missing some of the files he had created before.
  • Top Ten Concepts For Linux Beginners - Number 2, Directories - Linux people like to claim that directories are just another type of file. This statement can be misleading. We saw in the previous article that you use a file editor to create a file. We will see later in this article how to create a directory. So what exactly is a Linux directory?
  • Top Ten Reasons To Learn Damn Small Linux - Number 2, Lots Of Free Applications - Don't misunderstand. Microsoft Windows comes with plenty of free applications. The most widely used freebie is Internet Explorer. To find most of the others go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, and start clicking. Outside of Internet Explorer how many free Windows applications do you actually use?

  • Damn Small Linux Text Processing - Damn Small Linux can be an excellent tool for learning Linux commands and running the Linux operating system. But what if you don't want to be a computer nerd; can this software still be useful?
  • Top Ten Concepts For Linux Beginners - Number 1, Files - Of course as a Microsoft Windows user you are familiar with the concept of files. This familiarity means you won't have to start from zero to learn about Linux files. However, you will have to relearn several concepts and techniques to apply files in the Linux environment, whether using Damn Small Linux or other versions. You can do several great things with Linux files that can't be done easily or at all under Windows. This could mean yet another reason to switch from Windows to Linux. Files have unique names. This rule is not as simple as it may seem. There is no conflict between a hard disk file named pay12june and a file named pay12june on your removable USB flash drive. In fact, be sure to backup all your important files.
  • Top Ten Reasons For Learning Linux - Number 3, Internet Integration - And here is today's technology history lesson. No, Bill Gates and Microsoft did not invent the Internet.
  • Compatibility Contrast Of Old Games Between Linux And Vista - Although Linux could run software games basing on Windows through Wine simulator, it is no doubt that compatibility is probably not very good. Some games based on Windows XP platform could not run in Vista, but they could create miracles in Linux system. We can do some tests on the latest Vista system and Linux system. Test 1: "Soldat": this is a free game.
  • Linux Web Hosting Pakistan - It was originally designed for the Intel x86 platforms. Now, it is also available for Intel, Mac, alpha, various embedded devices, and a lot of other platforms. Linux is actually a UNIX like operating system which is very consistent, reliable, steady, stable, and flexible. It is used on personal computers, workstations, servers, routers and almost, every other computing platform. Linux is multi-user and multi tasking so it can perform virtually every job or set of jobs rapidly and efficiently. Linux is as influential as any other operating system, and most significantly it is free. Linux was created to be a free substitute to UNIX.
  • The Top Ten Concepts For Linux Newbies - Number 6, Kernel And Processes - A process is a program in execution. Unix was designed to handle multiple processes. Linux follows this excellent tradition. The operating system gives users and particularly the root user control over processes. Let's take a closer look at processes and what they mean to users. The kernel is the part of the Linux operating system that handles system management. It is not accessible to ordinary users.
  • The Top Ten Reasons For Learning Linux, Number 8, More Control Over The Computer - Linux has dozens and dozens of commands that enable you to control your computer to a degree far exceeding the possibilities of Windows systems. For example, let's take the ls command which lists files and directories. To the uninitiated this is Linux's version of the Windows DIR command that also lists files and directories. Both the ls and the DIR commands provide lots of switches; options that enable a savvy user to fine tune some operations. But the Linux ls command (don't type in LS) has multiple, powerful options that simply often do not exist in the Windows world. For example, the ls command displays file and directory permissions. With a simple command the system administrator can block regular users from modifying or executing a file. What does this mean to you?
  • The Top Ten Concepts For Linux Beginners - Number 8, Programming Language Support - Damn Small Linux can be an ideal platform for supporting a wide range of programming languages. You can even program directly from the command line via a programming shell such as Bash. Major programming languages used in this environment include C, C++, and Java. If you are developing for the Internet you may want to use PHP, a web programming language and MySQL, a language for database system development. All these programming languages are also available in the Windows environment. So the question arises, why would you want to program under Linux rather than under Windows? Many web developers and Internet service providers feel that Linux provides a more stable web site environment than does Windows. The most widely used web server, Apache, is available under both these operating systems but its new features, security enhancements, and bug fixes are always available first on the Open Source (LAMP) version.
  • The Top Ten Concepts For Linux Beginners - Number 7, Runs On Obsolete Computers - When it comes to the environment do you want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem? If you don't want to be part of the problem don't toss that supposedly outdated computer onto a landfill. Your discarded computer remains will take decades to biodegrade and leach scads of poisonous chemicals into the environment during the process.
  • The Top Ten Reasons For Learning Linux, Number 4 Enhanced Virus Resistance - Let's start by mentioning some facts that may be very disconcerting to die-hard Linux and Unix fans. Serious computer viruses appeared first in Unix systems. And what may have been the worst computer virus attack in history occurred on Unix systems about twenty years ago. Fortunately the lessons learned from this attack were integrated into the constantly evolving Unix and Linux systems. To some extent they have been integrated into protecting Windows systems, and that's also good news.
  • Personal Knowledge Of Free Software Development Works! - SCO also sent a letter to some 1,500 commercial users of Linux distributions, warning them that Linux may be an unauthorized derivative of code owned by SCO. That is, SCO alleges that Linux actually to some extent is owned by SCO and may not be distributed under the GPL.
  • The Top Ten Concepts For Linux Beginners - Number 7, Shells And Utilities - A shell is the command interpreter program that serves as an interface between some users and the operating system itself. We say some users because most users rely on the graphical user interface. The Windows shell is the DOS command line interface accessed by clicking on Run and then entering the cmd command. The Windows graphical user interface is Explorer.
  • The Top Ten Concepts For Linux Beginners - Number 5, Inodes - Many aspects of Linux functionality are found, albeit in a different form in Windows. Inodes, the subject of this article, are an exception to this rule. Given the practicality of inodes, Windows now contains an imitation of this functionality. But really, to take full advantage of this somewhat complicated concept, you'll have to go to Linux or Unix. So what are inodes and why would anyone want to use them? Inodes are the internal description of a file. As we will see below, the specific inode contents for a given file are different in memory and on disk. But the key to the inode is that a single file may have different names. Why would anybody want to do that? One very important reason is that a user may access a shared file by an intuitive name.
  • The Top Ten Concepts For Beginners to Linux - Number 3, Users - Unlike Windows, Linux users must have an account. This account is accorded permissions such as reading and writing files and executing programs. Accounts are combined into groups to simplify their management. Users who are members of a given group may be assigned additional permissions that smooth the process of accessing common files. Let's take a closer look at how Linux handles these users. A future article examines permissions and groups.
  • My Top Ten Reasons For Learning Linux, Number 6, Linux And PHP - In this article we examine some programming languages used to build dynamic websites that interact with databases. These languages run on the web server. They are a major step up from traditional web page development languages such as HTML which run on the client computers. The Open Source product is PHP (which stands for Hypertext Preprocessor in case you wanted to know). The Microsoft competitors are ASP (Active Server Pages) and ASP.NET (Active Server Pages in the Microsoft .NET environment.) ASP.NET is more expensive, more complicated, and more powerful than its sibling. For simplicity's sake we refer to Microsoft's offerings as ASP. As you know PHP is free. ASP is also free but to run it you may need Microsoft's IIS (Internet Information Server) which is not free.
  • Why Your Website Needs Managed Linux Hosting - Managed hosting is a type of outsourcing to ensure that your business websites function correctly 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Outsourced hosting is a necessity for many commercial organisations, as IT knowledge is usually minimal and the costs are significantly higher to host in-house and therefore outsourcing is essential to guarantee that server uptime is almost one hundred percent. There is a large number of hosting companies offering managed hosting to various clients from all over the world. Many hosting companies provide their services through dedicated servers and the server uptime is almost one hundred percent.
  • They Tell Me Only To Use Microsoft Windows Not The Free Linux Operating System - Most people purchase computers to run programs – whether it is to send email, browse the web, meet friends of girlfriends on msn messenger, do office work or just play solitaire.
  • Top The Ten Reasons For Learning Damn Small Linux - Number 5, Linux, Apache, and MySQL - Linux and Windows have many things in common. For example, most people aren't very interested in knowing how they work. Both of these operating systems make the computer available for the applications that people want to apply; such as running an Internet server, browsing the Internet, creating and accessing data bases, writing programs, playing music, or, or, or. All these tasks are coordinated by the operating system and require specialized programs that drive hardware efficiently and correctly. We'll talk about Linux's closely integrated "friends" and compare them to the similar but oh so different Microsoft offerings. The Linux group is called LAMP, an acronym standing for Linux, Apache, MySql, and PHP. There is no similar acronym for the Microsoft set of interacting products.
  • The Top Ten Concepts For Beginning Linux Users - Number 4, Permissions And Groups - The easiest way for you to learn Linux permissions is to study an example. The ls -l command generates a list of contents, such as files along with their permissions. Let's examine the default values for a file called Filename. We have added spaces to make the output more legible. - rw- r-- r-- other information about the file Filename The initial - signifies that this is a file (not a directory).
  • PHP And LAMP Software - PHP is the most widely used web scripting language.
  • Free Damn Small Linux Games - Part 1 - Damn Small Linux can be an excellent tool for learning Linux commands and running the Linux operating system. But what if you are not interested in becoming a computer nerd; can this software still be useful to regular people? The answer is a resounding yes; you can make use of this tiny operating system whether or not you want to learn the sometimes gruesome details of operating systems. This article presents several free games that are immediately available once you have downloaded and installed Damn Small Linux. To access these games either click on the DSL button in the lower-left hand corner or on the Apps icon toward the top of the screen. Then open the Games: there are eleven;
  • Microsoft Windows vs Linux - The Fundamental Issue - The comparison of these two operating systems (OS) and the debates which developed have been ongoing for years. Clashing opinions have recently heated up and received even greater exposure due to the One Laptop per Child's XO vs. Intel's Classmate issues. (Two competing low priced laptops intended for use by children in developing remote areas.) XO choosing to use Linux and Classmate choosing to use Windows has fueled the debate as if the OS created and marketed these laptops themselves! The fundamental difference between these two systems is Microsoft Windows is closed source while Linux is open source. Once computer software is written it can be copied and reproduced at a very low cost.

  • Why Learn PHP - PHP is the most widely used web scripting language. This great software enables even relatively inexperienced programmers to develop dynamic web sites for virtually any web application. In a nutshell that's why you should learn it. Don't let anyone tell you that learning PHP is a piece of cake. Like any other programming language, mastering PHP is not a simple task. In spite of any promises, you won't become a master in 48 hours.
  • Why You Should Learn MySQL - MySQL is the most widely used database management language. With this program even inexperienced programmers can create and modify databases consisting of multiple tables.
  • Web Hosting, PHP vs ASP - Web pages used to be simple affairs, where everything you needed to do could be done in HTML, there was really one set of rules and one set of expectations. Today's world is far more complex. Web pages can be more complex and customers expect more from web pages. Terms like PHP and ASP now compete with HTML when starting a web page and it can be hard to figure out what option best suits your needs.
  • SCO Groups legal actions against Linux! - UPDATED: Did Microsoft help fund SCO, and, by association, Scot’s lawsuits against Linux vendors and users? A new internal memo leads to that conclusion. Is there always fire where threes smoke? In the open-source community, the rumor that just won’t die claims that Microsoft Corp. is funding The SCO Groups legal actions against Linux. On Thursday, those allegations rose again with reports of a memo that links Microsoft with a financial backer of SCO. The rumors center on a $50 million investment in SCO by the Larkspur, Calif.-based Bay Star Capital investment fund last October.
  • Installing and Configuring NTP on LINUX - NTP (Network Time Protocol) is an application developed to provide the synchronisation of computers and computer network devices. NTP defines algorithms and a protocol structure to accurately synchronise computer time.
  • The Business of Free Software - The concept of free software has amazed me because so many developers were willing to put in time outside of their day jobs for the fun of it and just to give away their work. Its voluntary nature, made me expect that the free software movement would stay in the realm of more technically inclined people and would not to turn into mainstream business. However, it has defied all my expectations, going from strength to strength. I got a clue that it had arrived when Dell announced a line of PCs based on Linux. But how does a movement whose premise is being "free" get the attention of the world? One of the less obvious traits of free software is that nowhere does it ban from charging users money for software.
  • How to Get Help in Linux - Sometimes, especially for Windows and Macintosh administrators, a move to the Linux operating system can seem a bit intimidating, especially because of the more traditional approach to administration through the Command Line Interface (CLI). The good news is that Linux includes ample, built-in help including "man" pages, "info", "help", and "apropos". In this article, I'll explain your options and give you some practice using each of them. The information in this article should be applicable in any flavor of Linux. Using "man" "man" formats and displays the online manual pages. There are manual pages for nearly every command imaginable.
  • Bring New Life To Your iPod - There are many methods that are used to hack and mod iPods and in this article we will examine three popular methods: iPod Linux, Rockbox and iPod wizard.
  • The Era of Open Source - Open Source has often been viewed as a free software. That is true to certain extend. The main difference between both lies in the availability of the source code. Free software does not releases its source code but Open Source does. Anyone can add or edit the code and it is also made available for everyone. When we ponder on the last sentence we can see that these ideas creates some of the most spectacular projects that is available today.
  • File Comparison Software - Comparing is a Good Thing. File comparison is a process in the computing universe. It is the process of automatic comparing between files on a file system. The results of comparisons are generally displayed to the user and can be used to complete tasks in networks, file systems and revision control. Some examples of file comparison utilities include FileMerge and Microsoft File Compare. Meet the creators. Most file comparison tools find the longest common subsequence between two files.
  • Use PHP Tips For Better Program Outputs - Price Compared to ASP, PHP installations are absolutely cheaper to install. PHP perfectly runs on Linux (which is a free OS) and programmers use MySQL .(which also comes FREE)ASP runs on the IIS Server (Internet Information Server) which requires Windows N.T/2000/2003 Servers or better. Aside from that ASP mostly uses MS-SQL Server as the back end which is really expensiveThe Bottomline: PHP is CheaperCross Platform compatibility PHP programs run on a wider variety of OS Unix, Linux, Solaris and Window’s.ASP on the other hand only works flawlessly with Windows.Bottomline: PHP tops in terms of versatility.SecurityThe biggest disadvantage with PHP and any open source software must be the fact that companies do not want it because they do not trust PHP.

  • Overview of DB2 - A Little History DB2 is a relational database management system produced by IBM that IBM refers to as a "data server." What is a relational database? A relational database is a set of files that has been analyzed for all of the relationships between fields. The related fields are pulled out of the original files in order to minimize redundancy in the data being stored. For example, instead of storing the information that TN is the state Tennessee in every record, that information is pulled out of the original file and stored only once in a state code file. The idea of a relational database first arose in 1970 when Dr. E.F.
