Was versteckt sich hinter “Linux”, dem berühmten offenen Betriebssystem? Linux ist ein von Anwendern gemeinsam entwickeltes offenes System, dh der Quellcode des Programms ist über das Internet jedermann frei zugänglich. Durch die kollektive Arbeit einer großen Programmierergemeinde können so bessere technische Lösungen entwickelt werden als bei den kommerziellen Produkten aus einer “geschlossenen”, proprietären Systemwelt, deren Hersteller ihre Programmcodes nicht preisgeben. Darüber hinaus kann sich jeder Anwender Linux kostenlos aus dem Internet herunterladen. Die Dokumentation stellt den Finnen Linus Torvalds vor, auf dessen Entwicklung Linux hauptsächlich zurückgeht. Ein Mann mit einer interessanten Geschichte, der beschloss, den üblichen Lauf der Dinge zu ändern: Anstatt seine Erfindung für sich zu behalten, entschied er sich dafür, sie der ganzen Welt zur freien Nutzung zur Verfügung zu stellen. Seine eigenen Grenzen erkennend, zog er es vor, sich auf diese Weise in eine Kollektivbewegung einzureihen. Heute ist Torvalds ein reicher Mann. Er lebt mit seiner Familie in Santa Clara, im kalifornischen Silicon Valley. Seine gesamte Zeit widmet er der Entwicklung neuer Linux-Versionen, denn es gibt immer wieder Möglichkeiten, das System noch zu verbessern. Für Programmierer in der ganzen Welt ist er heute der Superstar, die Symbolfigur für freie Software. Aber wie wird man reich mit freier Software? Der Film präsentiert die verkannten kreativen Genies unserer Zeit …

Showing some things you can do with Puppy Linux (430 Firefox remaster) and how it can look, on an old PC/laptop. This is only with the Xvesa X server and JWM window manager. As shown in the beginning the computer has 512 MB RAM and 2.4 Ghz processor, but much lower specs will also work. As you can see at the end of the video (from 6:10), Puppy has not that many packages in its package manager, but there are a lot available on the forums. Btw: video playing looks laggy, but that’s only if you watch in 360p, YouTube dropping frames. (Video made using Drec 2.0)
This time it’s one of those things that most of us dreamed about doing but never had either skills or time to. It’s “How to build your own custom Linux system?” Why is it so important to do so? It’s not really, but if you could have an OS that had all the applications, games, codecs & such (that you use most often) “out of the box” without the need of spending time & installing them afterwards wouldn’t you want to have a system like that? On top of that, think about all the software that clutters your hard drive & you never ever, even once turned on but it came preinstalled with your distribution? Wouldn’t it be just great not to deal with it? Well, I don’t know about you but it sounds awesome to me… So to answer that need (or my curiosity if you may) I’ve spend some quality 1-on-1 time with the internet & found few of the sollutions that can just achieve that. Anyway, to get to the heart of the thing, the software or more likely a web app I’m going to talk about here is SUSE Studio. Now, you may think that there’s no proper Linux other than Ubuntu/Debian based distros but that is wrong. And untruth. Both. ^__^ I do run either Ubuntu or Mint on my main machine on a daily basis & I’ve converted both of my parents to use Ubuntu rather than Windows too, however I do not think of it as definite OS. I consider it more as of the OS that answers more of my needs than any others do. That said it could change if I could customize a distribution to fully have what I’m looking for …
Hi everybody. I’m a frequent Windows user and I recently installed Linux (Ubuntu to be precise) in my second primary partition just for testing purposes. Its installation simplicity and all of the available software in its repository leaves no excuse for not trying this wonderful OS. If the open source community keeps the good job (as I proved) Windows Se7en will confront a worthy competitor. Even for touchscreen. At least Ubuntu’s graphical environment is better than Vista. If you don’t believe me just watch this video that shows my Ubuntu desktop. Ok, I’m a Systems Analyst and some command line console is no big deal for me (I write code all the time), but even if you don’t want to mess with the terminal you can do so in Ubuntu. As I said: its simplicity lets you configure the OS and install software only with your mouse (just like Windows). I’ve found all of my applications equivalents: Winzip, Alcohol, Nero, Ghost, PowerQuest Drive Image, ConvertXtoDVD, DivX Converter, Windows Movie Maker, Smart Ripper, Windows Live Messenger, Download Accelerator Pro, Paint Shop Pro, Sun Java, JBuilder, MySQL, JUDE, Office, Vuze, eMule, Ares… Each one has its ‘twin’ in Ubuntu. Most of them are listed in its repository. You only have to pick the one you want, apply changes and it will install. If you only have Internet access in some other Windows PC just use ‘wget for Windows’ to download the required .debs and use them in Synaptic. Security issues? There are almost no viruses for …
