Linux Anybody?


Recommended Posts

yup! i like it. may kahirapan lang sa drivers and some setup compared sa proprietary pero marami namang benefits. first is you get to taste the geeky world's ideas pero not to exage naman. pero ayos kasi wala kang takot masyado sa sites and viruses. ayos eh B-) talo lang sa magagandang apps na pinagkagastusan like games, photoshop, video edz tools pero i'm not into games, photoshop etc. kaya okay sakin lenux. pero parehas lang yan. maganda lang talaga for your secured browsing and di ka takot sa links na pinagpipipindot mo. hehehe.

been using UNIX/Linux for like 5 years now. Started with Slackware - Fedora - Ubuntu (desktop) FreeBSD - Ubuntu Server - RHEL 4&5 - Solaris 8,10[sPARC x86-x64]. I find ubuntu the best os replacement for windows, unfortunately though, on gaming perspective, dito lang nagkatalotalo. kase most of the games are really not created to run on Linux. I mean you can make it run, but you have to do some configurations which would be EASILY resolved by just doing dual boot. :))

I installed Win7 and Linux Mint on a new laptop. Guess which one gave the better experience? ;)

 

With Win7 I had to go to the manufacturer's website to download all of the drivers and install them one by one. My monitor wasn't displaying the right resolution on plain Intel HD graphics. Wifi wasn't working. This required downloading several hundred MB's of drivers.

 

With Linux Mint, everything worked after install -- VGA, wifi, bluetooth, even my laptop's hotkeys. I had a full-blown office app installed, and it downloaded codecs during install so I could play any video format immediately. It's not the usual Linux install, which usually requires some typing on a terminal, but the progress is very visible.

I did the same for a new Core i3 Desktop, Win7 Ultimate and Ubuntu 11.04. My monitor performed better with Ubuntu 11.04. Pictures are much clearer, crisp and vivid.

Just rebooted the box? Get notified when it comes back online with audio alert using old good ping command :)

 

ping -a YOUR_IP_HOST_NAME

 

You may want to add the wait delay using the -i and count using the -c for avoiding panic mode

 

ping -i 30 -c 10 -a YOUR-IP-OR-HOST-HERE

 

The above will check server 10 times with 30 seconds wait between sending icmp packets. The -a well give audio when packet received.
