While Linux is running our phones, friend requests, tweets, financial trades, ATM’s and more, most of us don’t know how it’s actually built. This short video takes you inside the process by which the largest collaborative development Project in the history of computing is organized. Based on the annual report“Who Writes Linux,” this is a powerful and inspiring story of how Linux has become a community-driven phenomenon. The Choice is Yours A learning curve-Very easy to manage-Free operating system-No anti virus software to worry about Get to learn more about the computer and open source software you use Social Media;Office, Art, Video, Skype, Facebook, Mumble, Instagram, Netflix and plenty more. For Amateur Radio and other hobbyist tons of software to install already preinstall in synaptic Package Manager or Muon Package Manager Here are your choices Upgrade to Linux. Yes there is a learning curve and Massive Development building your own Operating System with a Software Bank of over forty thousands plus software. Linux Desktops Have Better User Interface and Unix As Compared To Windows And Mac! The quality of Linux from using the distros. It has the most attractive User Interface and elements now. Leading Linux distro companies like Canonical are hiring young and talented designers to improve the looks and User Interface of Linux platform. The user experience is not just about themes anymore. The progress of User Interface changes is real and measurable now. Linux distros are best at customization. Since Linux is an open source OS, companies releasing new distros are offering much more customization options as compared to Windows or Mac OS X. You can do anything you want with Linux, users have access to the code, core features, packages, repositories and every single thing. Proprietary operating systems like Windows and Mac lack at flexibility in User Interface. While Linux likes to continue its minimalistic approach towards all the User Interface elements, proprietary OS are little complex. The changes in Linux User Interface can be done with great ease. No wonder why Linux has such massive active developers community. User can easily install and configure dock within few clicks on Linux distros. Installing a theme is an easy task too. Proprietary OSs lack these kinds of customization options. The 3 Amateur Radio Linux Alternative V3 Copyright © 2016 JMD | All Rights Reserved. window decoration and positioning of User Interface elements is neat and tidy in Linux. Distros like Fedora 21, Arch Linux, elementary OS, Ubuntu distros have very beautiful User Interface. Distros like Ubuntu have employed the powerful Unity Unix in the system too. Everything in the latest versions of leading Linux distros is very neat and professional. If you compare the User Interface in next generation Linux distros., it makes Windows and Mac OS X look extremely encumbered. Linux has the breath of fresh air. The freedom that Linux gives is just incomparable. tch the video Easing into open source 2.Open Source versus Proprietary Software Get a betting understanding of open source and propriety software Proprietary software are those that are created by companies to turn a profit.

Everyone who is unaware of the dangers of back-door entries in Microsoft Windows and associated software including governments make the mistake of posting online in its original Word documentation this mistake its revision history is visible to anyone who know where to look and find other information, this is how in many cases leaks are obtained from IT Spies and computers sniffers Inspect documents for hidden data and personal information Microsoft Support while they try to address the problems just by using your keyboard with specific commands and recovery software the information can be retrieve, it's stores on the hard drive.

This causes many problems for many people, hence this article was written. Many individual issues arise from this single problem, so the page is broken down into multiple problem areas. Read the article Linux is Not Windows. Read Windows to Linux: A Beginner's Guide 7.Windows Under Linux There are a certain number of applications, both open-source and commercial, that will allow Windows applications to run under Linux. They are referred to as emulators, meaning that they replicate the functions of Windows on a Linux platform. Many MS Office applications, games and other programs can be run using an emulator with varying degrees of success ranging from nearnative speed and functionality to only basic performance. Wine is the primary open-source Windows emulator for Linux. It is a kind of compatibility layer for running Windows programs, but does not require Microsoft Windows to run the applications. Installed through any Linux distro via the software center Package Installer. Wine versions are rapidly packaged by the Community Repository members and made available to users. Wine is pre-installed on all Linux operating, it can be downloaded from the software center (aka apps store) 8.Minicom Minicom is a text-based serial port communications program, similar to Cutecom. It is used to talk to external RS232 devices such as mobile phones, routers. It's available for all versions of the Ubuntu family.

This respin is geared toward the newer Linux user. hamOS uses the lightweight LXDE desktop environment and is therefore suitable for older hardware (I've used it on a PII 300mHz machine w/ 256mb ram). Check out the Get Extras folder on the desktop to run some custom scripts that will automatically grab flash, codecs, and other non-libre software. Instructions for fixing the repositories in hamOS 12.48. Download the sources.list file and the thirdparty.list files to your Downloads folder. Open up the file manager (icon looks like a filing cabinet) and navigate to your Downloads folder. Open up a terminal in the Downloads folder by pressing the F4 key on your keyboard. Copy the following command to the terminal and hit ENTER (You will be asked for your password). sudo cp sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo cp thirdparty.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/thirdparty.list && sudo apt-get update This should copy the correct sources and update the available software.

Centos The CentOS Linux distribution is a stable, predictable, manageable and reproduceable platform derived from the sources of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). We are now looking to expand on that by creating the resources needed by other communities to come together and be able to build on the CentOS Linux platform. And today we start the process by delivering a clear governance model, increased transparency and access. In the coming weeks we aim to publish our own road map that includes variants of the core CentOS Linux. Since March 2004, CentOS Linux has been a community-supported distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by Red Hat. As such, CentOS Linux aims to be functionally compatible with RHEL. We mainly change packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork. CentOS Linux is no-cost and free to redistribute . CentOS Linux is developed by a small but growing team of core developers. In turn the core developers are supported by an active user community including system administrators, network administrators, managers, core Linux contributors, and Linux enthusiasts from around the world.
