Linux Anybody?

[slimboyefx]

Hello Linux gurus!

 

1. meron bang Photoshop and Flash equivalent and Linux distributions?

2. ano pinakafriendly na distribution (i.e. yung less worrisome for a newbie? internet problems, Ipod sync, phone sync)? Slackware, Ubuntu, etc?

IIRC kapag nag install ka as text, by default runlevel 3 ang init.

kapag gui ka nag install, runeleve 5.

128mb kung recent distros ang gamit, i think hindi nito kaya ang graphical installation so dapat pag boot, walang X.

 

i think sa redhat derivatives ganto, not sure about debian and others.

Try using an Xbox as an FTP server.. does it quite well and you don't need to worry about running it for quite a long time..

also would serve as your gaming machine, video server, dvd-player and all-around NAS drive so far works for me..

in linux distros there is the program the gIMP that is the equivalent to photoshop, but flash (sorry hindi ako familiar with flash, this is an html graphics program right?) I think there is NVU as it's equivalent, not sure though.

 

kanya kanyang taste na ang type of distro that you get. go to www.distrowatch.com for a list of distros. for me ang pinakafriendly/comfortable ako ay Suse linux but problem lang ay malaki na rin ang requirement for it to run on computer.

 

I tried the ubuntu-server distro. at first takot ako sa console-type commands. hindi ako sanay sa walang gui. will take me a while to get used to it. will still forge on ahead with the ftp server though.. one diff that I realized was that ubuntu used a debian core or something similar to it.

[Guest Leviticus]

dude, ubuntu IS a debian-based distro.

re:photoshop, flash, and linux distro

gimp still has a long way to go before it can be seriously considered as an alternative to photoshop.

if you want to create graphics and flash movies in linux, you have to do it through WINE or use a virtualization software to run windows.

 

ubuntu, by far, is the most user friendly distro i've tried to date.

hehe. though there are SOME similarities with redhat I still need to struggle with commands. the first hurdle was installing a tr.gz file. sanay ako sa .rpm

1. no, but you can try gimp, blender o blender3d (its close to PS), flash wala (dati may ffl[flash for linux] but nastop due to a legal ekek about flash being window$ only).but if you really want to run PS and flash, use VMWARE and if may prob with drivers use ndiswrapper...thats the most stable setup that i tried.

 

2. ubuntu or yung dating lindows(forgot the new name, google mo na lang)

question of my own: anyone know any great opensource and preferably free virtualization software?

hello po, meron po bang gumagamit ng Linux-Musix dito? nahihirapan po kasi akong iset na dual boot sila ng windows eh

[TaDo1981]

newbie rin po ako ng linux yung isang boss sa office namin sobrang linux os collector kaya nung humingi ako ng cd binigyan nya ako ng Mandriva, tapos nakakuha rin ako ng free cd ng ubuntu nung nagtry ako mag request sa website nila ng free cds, tapos nakapagdownload ako ng musix, grabe ano gagamitin ko ngayon dito hehehe

 

pero kakatuwa, sobrang promoted ang ubuntu ha, nung nagrequest ako sa website 2 wks pa lang piniapa pick up na sa post office sa min

[dragonballsy]

May I ask experienced linux users here as to which distro have quick boot-up time?

I use fedora core 7 and it takes ages to boot-up.

Thanks.

have you tried installing apps through apt-get?

basta nasa repository ng ubuntu, auto download and install na yun application.

 

ie. "apt-get install <application>"

 

we have. we're using ubuntu and we didn't even have to use the command line (sorry po, please don't hate the noob )

just point and click.

 

i like ubuntu, it helps a lot of people make the transition from windows easier

[nuggetable]

Never used it, am not clever enough, but love the concept !

debian installations naman apt gamit namin

openVZ gamit namin sa mga mail servers namin, the usual apt get install openvz pero edit mo muna apt source mo. gumagamit din kami ng virtouzzo para sa mga customers namin. eto yung commercial version ng openvz, syempre may dadag tools.

ano difference ng openvz sa xen sa vmware server?

ano difference ng openvz sa xen sa vmware server?

 

basically yung xen at vmware halos pareho ang architecture kasama hardware sa virtualization. yung openvz OS level ang vitualization :

 

xen / vmware

 

Virtual Environment 1 | Virtual Environment 2

Virtual HW 1 Virtual HW 2

Host OS

real hardware

 

OpenVZ

 

VE1 | VE2

Host OS

real hardware

re: Photoshop and Gimp, I have to agree with Ronin. Gimp's still a way off-- but it's highly usable for web graphics (i.e. jpg, gif at png). So far hindi ko pa naman siya kinailangan for print, at least not seriously.

 

Anyway, you can use combinations of applications to do complex work. Tulad kunwari Inkscape+Gimp. Sa Inkscape ka mag-layout, sa Gimp mo i-process yung raster images, tapos bahala ka na kung saan mo i-finalise yung artwork.

 

As to Flash. I also agree with Ronin. I run my Flash through wine and it works alright.
