Linux Anybody?

[R@v3n]

What's wrong with biting the "Hype of today"?  are you scared to know if what is 'Hype' today might be the 'Standards' of tomorrow?  You claim that Linux "still remains to occupy the server niche more than the desktop users and I don't really see it tipping to the other end in the near future" - is totally wrong - because a lot of user have totally installed it in their desktops already.  As what I've said you just can't feel it there in Manila bec. a lot of people are using Microsoft and it's pirated copies.  I don't have to describe every detail of Linux compared to Microsoft as the discussion would prove nothing as Linux is totally different from Microsoft.  But the point that you are downplaying the role of Linux in the IT world is far from the real truth.  Linux and its likes were already existing since Microsoft was invented, it's just that Microsoft purused the better marketing of selling itself with equivalent to money.  Linux is not.  The bottom line, a lot of systems would be  invented now and then and it's only Linux that has proven to establish the worthiness of an Open Source System that battled Microsoft's Marketing Strategy.  Linux provided an option for an open source system which delivers - security, stablity and efficiency to the likes of Microsoft without having to invest on big money.

I agree completely. Also, as further proof of Linux, or rather open source, being a threat to Windows, here's a link: Click here. :headsetsmiley:

 

guys, meron ba counterpart ang MS frontpage express sa opensource?  para direct to the folder na ang paggawa ko ng internal webpages (using apache). 

 

ang ginagawa ko now is through Samba shared folder.  Ok lang sa akin but I really want to do away with windows TOTALLY.

There is. It's called Nvu (weird no? ). Anyway, its site can be found here. :headsetsmiley:

Pag nag-higpitan sa pirated windows software, siguro that's the time i'll shift to linux and other open source softwares.

FYI, there is a new update for windows XP that will show a message that you are using a pirated copy.

It normally makes no sense but the message window will keep on showing.

I've been using linux for almost 5 years now starting with slackware to RH to Fedora etc.

 

Linux though is not for the faint of heart if you want to go into its depths. But using it with a GUI is somehow comparable already with windows in one way or another. It is also true that Linux is far more secured, only if you know how.

 

I also agree that it is slowly growing in numbers when it comes to desktop users. The only people now who uses windows purely are those who doesn't have the enthusiasm to learn it, are forced to use it maybe because of your work or just plain scared of old horror stories on how to administer a linux system.

hmm... do you mean kapag wala na ang windows pirated cds or kapag nagraraid na ang mga CIDG?

 

better shift now if you are using it for business.

 

I am currently using fedora 5 and I tell you, it is a big improvement to the red hat OS, better even than RH E4.

This is a specially developed "nagware" by M$ in order to make those people who are using pirated copies of Windows, but are not aware that they are, aware that they ARE using a pirated version of Windows. It can be uninstalled easily from the Add/Remove Programs in the control panel. (I think...at least last I heard... ) :headsetsmiley:

guys meron bang equivalent ang visual basic/visual studio sa linux?

[pistonring_man]

Any advice for a linux beginner?

[hitman531ph]

Linux is not prone to virus since most viruses out there target Microsoft-based programs/documents. Although im not discounting the possiblity of being attacked by a Linux virus.

 

Linux is great for business. No license fees, no raids, nothing to pay for.

 

But Linux graphics are no better than Microsoft. Difficult to use graphics and multimedia. If you're into graphics and multimedia, Linux isn't the way to go. Even Mozilla Firefox has problems getting graphics correctly in a Linux operating system

If you're going to program in C# or any .NET language, there is a free open source IDE which is striving to be the equivalent of Visual Studio on the Linux platform. It's called MonoDevelop. Click here for more details. :headsetsmiley:

thanks for the replies sirs, we are in the midst of a transition to linux kasi hehe

 

pano naman ang html? i think one cannot write html in linux. anong equivalent nun?

[dauphin74]

Hi,

 

HTML is a portable scripting language so it could run on any operating system. All you need is a browser to view the output.

 

If you want to write HTML scripts, Linux already has several editors bundled with it.
