Properties of Linux
November 23rd, 2005 by delpietocsLinux Pros
A lot of the
advantages of Linux are a consequence of Linux’ origins, deeply rooted
in UNIX, except for the first advantage, of course:
-
Linux is free:
As
in free beer, they say. If you want to spend absolutely nothing, you
don’t even have to pay the price of a CD. Linux can be downloaded in
its entirety from the Internet completely for free. No registration
fees, no costs per user, free updates, and freely available source code
in case you want to change the behavior of your system.Most of all, Linux is free as in free speech:
The
license commonly used is the GNU Public License (GPL). The license says
that anybody who may want to do so, has the right to change Linux and
eventually to redistribute a changed version, on the one condition that
the code is still available after redistribution. In practice, you are
free to grab a kernel image, for instance to add support for
teletransportation machines or time travel and sell your new code, as
long as your customers can still have a copy of that code. -
Linux is portable to any hardware platform:
A
vendor who wants to sell a new type of computer and who doesn’t know
what kind of OS his new machine will run (say the CPU in your car or
washing machine), can take a Linux kernel and make it work on his
hardware, because documentation related to this activity is freely
available. -
Linux was made to keep on running:
As
with UNIX, a Linux system expects to run without rebooting all the
time. That is why a lot of tasks are being executed at night or
scheduled automatically for other calm moments, resulting in higher
availability during busier periods and a more balanced use of the
hardware. This property allows for Linux to be applicable also in
environments where people don’t have the time or the possibility to
control their systems night and day. -
Linux is secure and versatile:
The
security model used in Linux is based on the UNIX idea of security,
which is known to be robust and of proven quality. But Linux is not
only fit for use as a fort against enemy attacks from the Internet: it
will adapt equally to other situations, utilizing the same high
standards for security. Your development machine or control station
will be as secure as your firewall. -
Linux is scalable:
From
a Palmtop with 2 MB of memory to a petabyte storage cluster with
hundreds of nodes: add or remove the appropriate packages and Linux
fits all. You don’t need a supercomputer anymore, because you can use
Linux to do big things using the building blocks provided with the
system. If you want to do little things, such as making an operating
system for an embedded processor or just recycling your old 486, Linux
will do that as well. -
The Linux OS and Linux applications have very short debug-times:
Because
Linux has been developed and tested by thousands of people, both errors
and people to fix them are found very quickly. It often happens that
there are only a couple of hours between discovery and fixing of a bug.
Linux Cons
-
There are far too many different distributions:
"Quot
capites, tot rationes", as the Romans already said: the more people,
the more opinions. At first glance, the amount of Linux distributions
can be frightening, or ridiculous, depending on your point of view. But
it also means that everyone will find what he or she needs. You don’t
need to be an expert to find a suitable release.When asked,
generally every Linux user will say that the best distribution is the
specific version he is using. So which one should you choose? Don’t
worry too much about that: all releases contain more or less the same
set of basic packages. On top of the basics, special third party
software is added making, for example, TurboLinux more suitable for the
small and medium enterprise, RedHat for servers and SuSE for
workstations. However, the differences are likely to be very
superficial. The best strategy is to test a couple of distributions;
unfortunately not everybody has the time for this. Luckily, there is
plenty of advice on the subject of choosing your Linux. One place is LinuxJournal, which discusses hardware and support, among many other subjects. The Installation HOWTO also discusses choosing your distribution. -
Linux is not very user friendly and confusing for beginners:
In light of its popularity, considerable effort has been made to make
Linux even easier to use, especially for new users. More information is
being released daily, such as this guide, to help fill the gap for
documentation available to users at all levels. -
Is an Open Source product trustworthy?
How
can something that is free also be reliable? Linux users have the
choice whether to use Linux or not, which gives them an enormous
advantage compared to users of proprietary software, who don’t have
that kind of freedom. After long periods of testing, most Linux users
come to the conclusion that Linux is not only as good, but in many
cases better and faster that the traditional solutions. If Linux were
not trustworthy, it would have been long gone, never knowing the
popularity it has now, with millions of users. Now users can influence
their systems and share their remarks with the community, so the system
gets better and better every day. It is a project that is never
finished, that is true, but in an ever changing environment, Linux is
also a project that continues to strive for perfection.

Doa seorang Bocah
November 19th, 2005 by delpietocsSeorang bocah yang sangat ingin melanjutkan
sekolah, tetapi orang tuanya tidak mempunyai uang
untuk membiayai sekolahnya. Lagipula ibunya yang
sedang sakit membutuhkan biaya untuk membeli obat.
Akhirnya dia memutuskan untuk menulis surat kepada
Tuhan:
*********************
Kepada Yth
Tuhan
di Surga
Tuhan yang baik, saya mau melanjutkan sekolah,
tapi orang tua saya tidak punya uang. Ibu saya
juga sedang sakit, mau beli obat. Tuhan saya butuh
uang Rp.20000 untuk beli obat ibu, Rp.20000 untuk
membayar uang sekolah, Rp.10000 untuk membayar
uang seragam, dan uang buku Rp.10000. Jadi
semuanya Rp.60000 Tuhan.
Terima kasih Tuhan, saya tunggu kiriman uangnya.
Dari : Rio
*********************
Rio pun pergi ke kantor pos untuk mengirim
suratnya. Membaca tujuan surat tersebut, petugas
kantor pos merasa iba melihat Rio, sehingga tidak
tega mengembalikan suratnya. Bingung mau
dikemanain surat itu, akhirnya petugas pos itu
menyerahkannya ke kantor polisi terdekat. Membaca
isi surat itu, Komandan polisi merasa iba dan
tergerak hatinya utk menceritakan hal tsb kepada
anak buahnya. Walhasil, para polisi pun
mengumpulkan dana utk diberikan ke Rio, tetapi
dana yang terkumpul hanya Rp.55000.
Sang Komandan pun memasukan uang yang terkumpul ke
dalam amplop, dan menulis keterangan "Dari Tuhan
di Surga" dan menyerahkan ke anak buahnya utk
dikembalikan ke Rio.
Menerima uang tsb, Rio merasa sangat senang
permintaannya terkabul, walaupun yang di terima
hanya Rp.55000 Rio pun bergegas mengambil kertas
dan pensil, dan mulai menulis surat lagi:
*********************
TUHAN LAIN KALI KALO MAU KIRIM UANG, JANGAN LEWAT
POLISI, KARENA KALO LEWAT POLISI DI POTONG RP.5000!
*********************
Polisi : Tuiinkk……tuiiiinnnnkkkk……..GEDUBRAKKKK…..!!??!?!!

Behind Blue Eyes
November 17th, 2005 by delpietocsNo one knows what it’s like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes And no one knows what it’s like To be hated To be fated To telling only lies But my dreams, they aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That’s never free No one knows what it’s like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain an’ woes Can show through But my dreams, they aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That’s never free Discover L.I.M.P. say it (x4) No one knows what its like To be mistreated To be defeated Behind blue eyes No one knows how to say That they’re sorry And don’t worry I’m not telling lies But my dreams, they aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That’s never free No one knows what it’s like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes. In the clothes, all the grey I'll stay if you go away Concrete, tall as the sky Movement passing me by And you blush, what a rush Reminisce, cold crush Next door, ear to the wall All the tension made for the call I wish, I wish, I wish it was all that easy I wish, I wish, I wish it was all that easy by Limp Bizkit
Ubuntu
November 17th, 2005 by delpietocs
Linux for Human Beings
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.

November 17th, 2005 by delpietocsSuatu 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).

Introduction : Distro Linux

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.id, Benpinter,
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
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…………………
