Open Source Software

[gr82d8]

wala akong mabilis na connection kasi

parang mas maganda ang GNOME kesa KDE!

 

Kung nasa makati ka, I can download and burn one for you, kunin mo lang sa office. Ano ba yung kailangan mo, for desktop/server/live cd?

If you go to the ubuntu website you can actually register and they'll ship you a disk. i tried this and it arrived in a few weeks... pero i live in london and i dont know if that will ever make it to your address via the phil postal service.

 

tried running it on my laptop, runs great... although you might run into some difficulties with driver support for some devices if you're using something exotic.

Ubuntu 6 is default to gnome. ang ganda nga ng interface nito as compared to Windoze; one of the incentives sa mga sups to change to linux. hehe. it is a live CD and installer at the same time. and napansin ko as compared to the previous version, masmadali ang networking and software repository (mas user-friendly). If you are close to Makati area i can burn you a copy too. big fan ako ng linux. yun ang aking petix: to download linux distros off the internet. I use Suse 10.1 for my desktop here at the office. Napagkakamalan ngang Vista ang gamit ko lalo na kung 3D mode ang takbo (nakakabagal nga lang ng takbo but not that much)

 

Slackware na lang ang hindi ko pa nasusubukan. Ubuntu is debian based. I am more of an rpm junkie. try mo rin ang freespire (680+ Mb, the free version of Linspire, Debian based) and Zenwalk (490+ Mb, slackware based, am about to install it in a computer) distros.

 

other distros you can download off the web: fedora, centOS, old redhat distros for PIII units, BAYANIHAN LINUX (masyado mabagal ang download nito, better to get your copy from UP technopark; with support pa eto take note), Mandriva/Mandrake.

 

btw, sino dito may old copy ng LINDOWS? Meron ako before but the CDs got corrupted na :cry: perfect for PIII units sana and maganda pa ang interface neto. Pacopy ng mga installers if anyone has it.

I tried ordering the Ubuntu CDs before (Ubuntu 5). Took the package two weeks to arrive but complete CDs ang pinadala (32 bit, 64 bit, server) and may kasamang stickers pa :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Oo nga pala, one drawback with using Ubuntu and having a slow internet connection is the downloading of updates. Here at the office it takes me at least 45 minutes to 1 hour to download all updates (for Ubuntu 6) and that is using a T1 connection. Just turn off the updates when you're using a slow connection para hindi sagabal sa performance ng computer mo.

go to sourceforge.net - good resource if you're after open source projects... some nifty stuff out there.

[Diego Lo]

cool site toh ah!

[businessgeeks]

I would also like to recommend FreshMeat.Net as a directory of various software for different platforms. You can find a regular updates from its directory by going to my website.

Guys,

 

Magkano UBUNTU or KUBUNTU na DVD?

 

at saan makakabili?

 

$10.00 lang sa Amazon.com eh

 

Ubuntu is Free to download. If you are located in Makati, I can actually give you one of my CD's! Just PM if you're intrested

[cruesome]

most useful OSS stuff for me, in no particular order:

 

iptables/netfilter: http://www.iptables.org/

iproute2: http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/Iproute2

dansguardian: http://www.dansguardian.org

samba: http://www.samba.org

 

and a lot more day-to-day packages.

 

love gnome over kde btw

[Steere]

i would also recommend sourceforge.net. There are many open source projects that are available there.

guys ano po magandang sites to learn about Open source technologies?

[Guest Leviticus]

guys ano po magandang sites to learn about Open source technologies?

what? super broad ng question mo. please specify what you want to learn about opensource? Do you need the GNU license agreement? Do you need a list of opensource software? a definition of opensource? history?

 

super broad ka magtanong. what sites do you want? there is always google.com you know.. and wikipedia.com. kung kulang pa meron din ang dictionary.com or m-w.com para sa definition of terms mo.

[makubex]

if you are really interested, the best way to learn opensource software is to embrace it. ditch microsoft, use linux to accomplish your day to day computing requirements.
