UbuntuLinux for Human Beings

"Ubuntu" is an
ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". Ubuntu also means
"I am what I am because of who we all are". The Ubuntu Linux
distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.

Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available
with both community and professional support. It is developed by a
large community and we invite you to participate too!

The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu
Manifesto: that software should be available free of charge, that
software tools should be usable by people in their local language and
despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to
customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit.

These freedoms make Ubuntu fundamentally different from traditional
proprietary software: not only are the tools you need available free of
charge, you have the right to modify your software until it works the
way you want it to.

The team behind Ubuntu makes the following public commitment to its users:

  • Ubuntu will always be free of charge, and there is no extra
    fee for the "enterprise edition", we make our very best work available
    to everyone on the same Free terms.
  • Ubuntu comes with full commercial support from hundreds of companies around the world. Ubuntu is released regularly and predictably; a new release is made every six months. Each release is supported with free security updates and fixes for at least 18 months.
  • Ubuntu will include the very best in translations and accessibility infrastructure
    that the Free Software community has to offer, to make Ubuntu usable by
    as many people as possible. We collaborate as widely as possible on bug fixing and code sharing.
  • Ubuntu is entirely committed to the principles of free software development;  we encourage people to use free and open source software, improve it and pass it on.

Ubuntu is suitable for both desktop and server use. The current
Ubuntu release supports PC (Intel x86), 64-bit PC (AMD64) and PowerPC
(Apple iBook and Powerbook, G4 and G5) architectures.

Ubuntu includes more than 16,000 pieces of software, but the core
desktop installation fits on a single CD. Ubuntu covers every standard
desktop application from word processing and spreadsheet applications
to internet access applications, web server software, email software,
programming languages and tools and of course several games.

Suatu hari, admin dipanggil ke laboratorium. Di situ ada kardos (karyawan/dosen) sedang pusing,
Windows-nya nggak bisa koneksi ke Internet.
Setelah di cek, ternyata alamat IP-nya aneh.
Kata sang kardos,
"Lho, itu NIP saya". (NIP = Nomor Induk Pegawai).

Distro
Linux adalah sebutan yang diberikan pada seseorang atau perusahaan
yang memaketkan kernel Linux dan PLBOS. Selain itu biasanya,
pengembang distro menyertakan program instalasi dan utilitas
pembantu. Setiap distro Linux memiliki tujuan spesifik misal untuk
server, desktop, router, studio multimedia, dan lain-lain.

Informasi tentang perkembangan  distro-distro linux dapat di lihat di Distrowatch, atau anda bisa mengunjungi websitenya langsung seperti Ubuntu, Slackware, Debian, Vector, Gentoo, OpenSuse, DamnSmallLinux dll. Informasi tentang Linux berbahasa Indonesia juga bisa diperoleh melalui website AWALI, Linux.or.idBenpinter,

Buat anda yang ingin mencoba menggunakan atau mengenal Linux untuk pertama kali bisa menggunakan distro LiveCD yang bisa digunakan tanpa harus diinstall terlebih dahulu di komputer anda :) cukup dengan menggunakan CDROM kemudian ganti boot option pada BIOS agar komputer booting dari CD (ps : kalo baru pertama kali masuk di BIOS sebaiknya anda ditemani oleh teman yg sudah berpengalaman untuk menghindari hal2 yang tidak diinginkan :p ).Dengan menggunakan distro  yg berbasis LiveCD, anda bisa belajar menggunakan LInux dan aplikasi2nya dengan nyaman  dan tidak perlu khawtir kehilangan data2 anda dalam hardisk karena LiveCD tidak berhubungan langsung dengan hardisk anda (kecuali anda menginginkan dengan menggunakan command "mount"). Beberapa distro yang berbasis LiveCD antara lain : Knoppix, SlaX, GoblinX, Ubuntu/Kubuntu, DamnSmallLinuX (DSL), Puppy Linux, dkk

Untuk memperoleh berbagai jenis distro Linux pun tidak sulit anda bisa memperoleh cdnya dengan membeli buku atau majalah seputar linux(biasanya disertai dengan bonus CD Linux) di toko-toko buku terdekat, juga bisa dengan memesan langsung di website : toko.baliwae.com, tokoku-online . Anda juga bisa mengunjung warnet-warnet Linux terdekat (awali /Asosiasi Warnet Linux Indonesia)

Kategori ini akan saya isi dengan beberapa distro yang sudah saya coba, semoga bisa memberikan masukan dalam memilih distro :)

Linux dan GNU/Linux

Linux
adalah sebuah kernel atau sistem operasi bergaya UNIX yang bebas
free, stabil, dan berjalan di banyak platform perangkat
keras. Linus Benedict Torvalds membuatnya pada saat beliau menjadi
mahasiswa di Universitas Helsinki, Finlandia. Pada saat itu Linus
terinspirasi oleh sistem operasi MINIX buatan Andrew S Tanenbaum dan
menjadikan Linux sebagai proyek hobinya.

Kernel
Linux dirilis ke publik di bawah GNU General Public License (GPL)
pada tahun 1991 –versi 0.01, dan sampai sekarang dikembangkan oleh
ribuan orang di dunia. Versi terakhir pada saat modul ini ditulis
adalah 2.6.13.x.

GNU/Linux
system merupakan istilah yang "disarankan" oleh RMS untuk
sistem dengan kernel Linux dan aplikasi-aplikasi dari proyek GNU,
tapi sebagian besar orang umumnya menyebut sistem tersebut dengan
Linux saja.

Kenapa
Kita Harus Memakai Linux/PLBOS?

Banyak
keuntungan yang bisa kita dapat dari Linux dan PLBOS, beberapa di
antaranya adalah:

  • Bebas dan Legal

  • Murah dan Hemat

  • Relatif stabil dan aman

  • Lengkap dan fungsional

  • Dukungan komunitas dan budayanya
    yang menyenangkan

  • Banyak dokumentasi dan informasi
    yang mudah didapat

  • Pengembangan yang cepat dan
    berkualitas

  • Menghindari ketergantungan pada
    satu atau lebih vendor perangkat lunak

  • Kesempatan dan potensi berkembang
    lebih banyak

Apa
yang kita harapkan dari perangkat lunak? Agar pekerjaan kita selesai?
Mungkin itu salah satunya. Gunakan Linux/PLBOS, karena dengan
perangkat lunak ini semuanya tersedia dari pekerjaan untuk mengetik
Office Suite, aplikasi grafis, multimedia, sampai dengan
komputasi tingkat tinggi. Jadi mengapa kita harus menghamburkan uang
lebih banyak dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak
proprietary/closed-source?
ketergantungan yang semakin besar pada vendor dan kekhawatiran
dalam bekerja karena memakai produk tidak legal menjadi bagian
masalah yang umum terjadi. Apalagi soal rentannya keamanan dan
kesempatan berkembang yang lebih sedikit.

Linux Semua deh ada di sini…………………

Perangkat Lunak Bebas dan Open Source

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

Berawal
dari pengalaman buruk Richard M Stallman (RMS) berhadapan dengan
perangkat lunak proprietary dan closed-source, tahun
1984 beliau membuat sebuah proyek bernama GNU –dibaca guh-noo–
singkatan  dari GNU is Not Unix, yang bertujuan membuat sistem
operasi bergaya UNIX yang bebas bagi masyarakat. Di sini lahirlah
sebuah gerakan Free Software atau Perangkat Lunak Bebas yang
memperjuangkan kebebasan untuk menggunakan, menyalin, memodifikasi,
melakukan peningkatan, dan mendistribusikan perangkat lunak.

Proyek GNU sendiri "dipayungi" oleh sebuah yayasan bernama
Free Software Foundation (FSF).

Kemudian pada tahun 1998
beberapa aktivis dan pengembang perangkat lunak bebas membuat sebuah
inisiatif bernama Open Source Initiative (OSI) yang bertujuan untuk
melakukan manajemen dan mempromosikan Open Source Definition (OSD)
bagi komunitas. Secara umum, OSI melakukan uji kelayakan terhadap
suatu perangkat lunak agar dapat "dikatakan" Open Source.
Definisi lain dari Open Source adalah metodologi pengembangan yang
mengijinkan kita untuk mempelajari, memodifikasi kode sumber dan
mendistribusikan kembali perangkat lunak.

FS dan OSI adalah dua
gerakan yang hampir sama dalam berbagai hal kecuali pada prinsip,
etika, dan idealisme yang dibawa. Walaupun begitu keduanya terus
melakukan kontribusi dan kerjasama secara praktis di dunia perangkat
lunak, oleh karena itu banyak orang sering menyebutnya dengan Free
and Open Source Software
(FOSS) atau dalam bahasa Indonesia
menjadi Perangkat Lunak Bebas dan Open Source (PLBOS). Dengan PLBOS,
perangkat lunak berkembang dengan cepat, semua orang dapat bebas
menggunakan, bahkan ikut serta dalam pengembangannya.

Software is like SeX………………..It’s Better when It’s FREE… ;p

Bed of Roses

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know 'cause a bottle of vodka's still lodged in my hand and some blonde gave me nightmares, i think that she's still in my bed as I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead. 

With an ironclad fist, I wake up and french kiss the morning While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're talking about all of the things that I long to believe, about love, the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is, baby you're all that I need. 

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses for tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails i want to be just as close as, the Holy Ghost is, and lay you down on a bed of roses. 

Well I'm so far away Each step that I take is on my way home a king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to speak through this payphone still I run out of time or it's hard to get through till the bird on the wire flies me back to you i'll just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true 

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses for tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails i want to be just as close as, the Holy Ghost is, and lay you down on a bed of roses. 

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry The barkeeper's wig's crooked and she's giving me the eye Well I might have said yeah but I laughed so hard I think I died. 

now as you close your eyes, know I'll be thinking about you while my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again tonight, I won't be alone but you know that don't mean I'm not lonely i've got nothing to prove for it's you that I'd die to defend. 

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses for tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails i want to be just as close as, the Holy Ghost is, and lay you down on a bed of roses.

Some additional KDE keyboard shortcuts (useful, but non-essential)

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

<Alt><Tab>
Walk through windows. To walk backwards: <Alt><Shift><Tab>

<Ctrl><Tab>

Walk through desktops. To walks backwards: <Ctrl><Shift><Tab>

<Ctrl><Esc>

Show the table of processes running on my system. Allow me to kill any of the processes I started (or send other signals to them).

<Alt><F1>
Access the K-menu ("Equivalent to MS Windows "Start" menu).

<Alt><F12>
Emulate the mouse using the arrow keys on the keyboard.

<Alt><LeftMouseButton>
Drag a window to move it. Normally, I move a window by dragging its top title bar, but occassionally I manage to get it off the screen. With this shortcut, I can drag by any part of the window.

<Alt><PrintScreen>
Take a snapshot of the current window into the clipboard.

<Ctrl><Alt><PrintScreen>
Take a snapshot of the entire desktop into the clipboard.

<Ctrl><Alt><l>
Lock the desktop.

<Ctrl><Alt><d>
Toggle hide/show the desktop (great to hide the Solitaire game when your boss walks in).

<Alt><SysRq>
(Non-essential.) This is a group of key combinations implemented at the Linux kernel level (a low level). It means, chances are these key combinations will work most of the time. The combinations are meant for debugging purposes and in an emergency (mostly developers); you should try other, safer solutions first. The key <SysRq> is also knows on PC as <PrintScreen>. The combinations can be enabled/disabled by setting the relevant kernel variable to "1" or "0", e.g. : echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
<Alt><SysRq><k>
Kill all processes (including X) which are running on the currently active virtual console. This key combination is know as "secure access key" (SAK).
<Alt><SysRq><e>
Send the TERM signal to all running processes except init, asking them to exit.
<Alt><SysRq><i>
Send the KILL signal to all running processes except init. This may be more successful in killing runaway processes than the previous key combination, but it may cause some of them to exit abnormally.
<Alt><SysRq><l>
Send the KILL signal to all processes, including init. The system will not be functional.
<Alt><SysRq><s>
Run an emergency sync (cache write) on all mounted filesystems. This can prevent data loss.
<Alt><SysRq><u>
Remount all mounted filesystems as read-only. This has the same effect as the sync combination above, but with one important benefit: if the operation is successful, fsck won’t have to check all filesystems after a computer hardware reset.
<Alt><SysRq><r>
Turn off keyboard raw mode. This can be useful when your X session hangs. After issueing this command you may be able to use <Ctrl><Alt><Del>.
<Alt><SysRq><b>
Reboot immediately without syncing or unmounting your disks. Your will likely end up with filesystem errors.
<Alt><SysRq><o>
Shut the system off (if configured and supported).
<Alt><SysRq><p>
Dump the current registers and flags to your console.
<Alt><SysRq><t>
Dump a list of current tasks and their information to your console.
<Alt><SysRq><m>
Dump memory info to your console.
<Alt>SysRq><digit>
The digit is ‘0′ to ‘9′. Set the console log level, controlling which kernel messages will be printed to your console. For example, ‘0′ will cause only emergency messages like PANICs or OOPSes displayed on your console.
<Alt><SysRq><h>
Display help. Also, any other unsupported <Alt><SysRq><key> combination will display the same help.

Linux Essential Keyboard Shortcuts

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

<Ctrl><Alt><F1>
      
Switch to the first text terminals. Under Linux you can have several (6
in standard setup) terminals opened at the same time. This is a
keyboard shortcut, which means: "press the control key and the alt key,
hold them. Now press <F1>. Release all keys."

      

<Ctrl><Alt><Fn> (n=1..6)
Switch to the nth text terminal. (The same could be accomplished with the rarely used command chvt n.  "chvt" stands for "change virtual terminal").In text terminal (outside X), you can also use <Alt><Fn> (the key <Ctrl> is not needed).
       

tty
       

Print the name of the terminal in which you are typing this command. If you prefer the number of the active terminal (instead of its name), it can be printed using the command fgconsole (="foreground console").
       

<Ctrl><Alt><F7>
       
Switch to the first GUI terminal (if X-windows is running on the 7th terminal, where it typcially is).

 <Ctrl><Alt><Fn>  (n=7..12)
Switch to the nth GUI terminal (if a GUI terminal is running on screen n-1). On default, the first X server is running on terminal 7.  On default, nothing is running on terminals 8 to 12–you can start subsequent X server there.

 <Tab>
       
(In a text or X terminal) Autocomplete the command  if there is only one option, or else show all the available options. On newer systems you may need to press <Tab><Tab>.  THIS SHORTCUT IS GREAT, it can truely save you lots of time.

 <ArrowUp>
       

(In a text or X terminal) Scroll and edit the command history. Press <Enter>  to execute a historical command (to save on typing). <ArrowDown> scrolls back.

 <Shift><PgUp> 
Scroll terminal output up. This works also at the login prompt, so you can scroll through your bootup messages. The amount/usage of your video memory determines how far back you can scroll the display. <Shift><PgDown> scrolls the terminal output down.

 <Ctrl><Alt><+>
       
(in X-windows) Change to the next X-server resolution (if you set up the X-server to more than one resolution). For multiple resolutions on my standard SVGA card/monitor, I have the following line in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config (the first resolution starts on default, the largest resolution determines the size of the "virtual screen"): Modes "1024×768" "800×600" "640×480" "512×384" "480×300" "400×300" "1152×864"Z Of course, first I had to configure the X server, either by using Xconfigurator, xf86config, or manually by edition the file /etc/X11/XF86Config, so that it supports the above resolutions (mostly the matter of uncommenting the line that defines my video chipset, and specifying the synchronization frequencies my monitor supports).  XFdrake (Mandrake configuration utility) can do it from GUI. See also the commands xvidtune and xvidgen.

<Ctrl><Alt><->
       
(in X-windows) Change to the previous X-server resolution.

<Ctrl><Alt><Esc>
       
(in X-windows, KDE) Kill the window I am going to click with my mouse pointer (the pointer changes to something like a death symbol). Similar result can be obtained with the command xkill (typed in X-terminal). Useful when an X-window program does not want to close (hangs?).

<Ctrl><Alt><BkSpc> 
(in X-windows) Kill the current X-windows server. Use if the X-windows server cannot be exited normally.

<Ctrl><Alt><Del>
       

(in text terminal) Shut down the system and reboot. This is the normal shutdown command for a user at the text-mode console. Don’t just press the "reset" button for shutdown!

<Ctrl>c 
Kill the current process (works mostly with small text-mode applications).
       

<Ctrl>d
       

(pressed at the beginning of an empty line) Log out from the current terminal. See also the next command.

      

<Ctrl>d
       
Send [End-of-File] to the current process. Don’t press it twice else you also log out (see the previous command).

<Ctrl>s 
Stop the transfer to the terminal.

<Ctrl>q
       
Resume the transfer to the terminal. Try if your terminal mysteriously stops responding. See the previous command.

<Ctrl>z 
Send the current process to the background.
      

exit
       
Logout. I can also use logout for the same effect.  (If you have started a second shell, e.g., using bash, this command will make you exit the second shell, and you will be back in the first shell, not logged out. Then use another exit to logout.)

reset
       
Restore a screwed-up terminal (a terminal showing funny characters) to default setting. Use if you tried to "cat" a binary file. You may not be able to see the command as you type it, but it still will work.

<MiddleMouseButton>
       
Paste the text which is currently highlighted somewhere else. This is the normal "copy-paste" operation in Linux. It a fast and powerful supplement to the widely-known GUI "copy-paste" menu-based operation.  (It doesn’t work inside older versions of Netscape which use the Mac/MS Windows-style "copy-paste" exclusively. It does work in the text terminal if you enabled "gpm" service using "setup". It also works inside any dialog boxes, etc.–really
        convenient!) It is best used with a Linux-ready 3-button mouse (Logitech or similar) or else set "3-mouse button emulation". The
<MiddleMouseButton> is normally emulated on a 2-button mouse by pressing both mouse buttons simultanously.

~
       
(tilde character) My home directory (normally the directory /home/my_login_name). For example, the command cd ~/my_dir will change my working directory to the subdirectory "my_dir" under my home directory. Typing just "cd" alone is an equivalent of the command "cd ~". I keep all my files in my home directory.

.
       
(dot) Current directory. For example, ./my_program will attempt to execute the file "my_program" located in your current working directory.
       

..
       
(two dots) Directory parent to the current one. For example, the command cd .. will change my current working directory one one level up.

Im Still Here

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005
I found the pieces in my hand They were always there It just took some time for me to understand You gave me words I just can't say So if nothing else I'll just hold on while you drift away 

Cause everything you wanted me to hide Is everything that makes me feel alive 

CHORUS: The cities grow the rivers flow Where you are I'll never know But I'm still here If you were right and I was wrong Why are you the one who's gone And I'm still here 

I'm still here 

You've seen the ashes in my heart You smile the widest when I cry inside and my insides blow apart I try to wear another face Just to make you proud Just to make you put me in my place 

But everything you wanted from me Is everything that I could never be 

CHORUS:The cities grow the rivers flow Where you are I'll never know But I'm still here If you were right and I was wrong Why are you the one who's gone And I'm still here 

Maybe tonight it's gonna be alright I will get better Maybe today it's gonna be okay I will remember 

I held the pieces of my soul I was shattered And I wanted you to come and make me whole Then I saw you yesterday But you didn't notice You just walked away 

Cause everything you wanted me to hide Is everything that makes me feel alive 

CHORUS: The cities grow the rivers flow Where you are I'll never know But I'm still here If you were right and I was wrong Why are you the one who's gone And I'm still here 

The lights go out the bridges burn Once you go you can't return But I'm still here Remember how you used to say I'd be the one to run away But I'm still here 

I'm still here

Important facts about file names in Linux

Saturday, November 12th, 2005

1. File names that begin with a period character are hidden. This
only means that ls will not list them unless you say ls -a. When your
account was created, several hidden files were placed in your home
directory to configure things for your account. Later on we will take a
closer look at some of these files to see how you can customize your
environment. In addition, some applications will place their
configuration and settings files in your home directory as hidden
files.

2. File names in Linux, like Unix, are case sensitive. The file names File1 and file1 refer to different files.

3. Linux has no concept of a file extension like legacy operating
systems. You may name files any way you like. The contents/purpose of a
file is determined by other means.

4. While Linux supports long file names which may contain embedded
spaces and punctuation characters, limit the punctuation characters to
period, dash, and underscore. Most importantly, do not embed spaces in
file names. If you want to represent spaces between words in a file
name, use underscore characters. You will thank yourself later
