Going from DOS to Linux is like trading a glider for an F117.
-- Lawrence Foard, [email protected]

49. Avoid the Gates of Hell. Use Linux.
-- unknown source

48. I've run DOOM more in the last few days than I have the last few

40. Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen an angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
-- Linus Torvalds, announcing Linux v2.0

39. Other than the fact Linux has a cool name, could someone explain why should use Linux over BSD?

33. Sigh. I like to think it's just the Linux people who want to be on the "leading edge" so bad they walk right off the precipice. (Craig E. Groeschel)

32. Microsoft Corp., concerned by the growing popularity of the free 32-bit operating system for Intel systems, Linux, has employed a number of top programmers from the underground world of virus development.

2. ...the Linux philosophy is "laugh in the face of danger". Oops. Wrong one. "Do it yourself". That's it. (by Linus)

1. We are using Linux daily to UP our productivity - so UP yours!
-- Adapted from Pat Paulsen by Joe Sloan

Open Source - Linux is based on Open Source, and is completely legal to install it on as many computers as desired with no licence hassles whatsoever.

Rock stable operating system - Linux is very stable, a Linux machine runs several months without having to be restarted with no hangs at all.

Almost no hardware-dependecies - Linux can be used on many hardware-platforms, from an old 386-cpu up to modern supercomputers and 64-bit-cpus.

Professional filesystem - no more windows device-letters, all devices are directly integrated into the filesystem

No forced updates - updates and fixed bugs are available very fast, because new kernel-releases and new program versions become public frequently. However, if you are satisfied with your running system since it functions well, you can kepp it and don`t upgrade at all. Nobody is being forced to upgrade!

Free of viruses, malware - up to today, there are almost no Linux-viruses known, and even if you get one on a system, the danger is quite small, since infected programs are not started by root.

No secret backdoors - there are no "secret" commands that some companies just do not list in their documentation to have market-advantages. All documentation and  Linux Sourcecode is freely available for everybode at all times.

Multi User Systems - Linux is a real multi-user-operating system, which means that on one system many users can work at the same time (for example via network) using only the users own rights and privileges that started the program. Using a normal typical fileserver like Novell or Windows NT, this is impossible. Using multi-user-features it is very easy to remotely adminitrate a machine.

Ressource saving - Linux can be started with no graphical user interface, and all of its functions are still working. This makes a lot of sense especially for server-usage since those services run mainly in the background.

Modest hardware-requirements - Linux is not as ressource-hungry as other systems (ram, performance etc), a typical Linux can run on 16 MB ram as fast and performant as other systems with 64 MB ram.

Comfortable terminal-management - Linux graphics system (XWindow) works via network which means that a user can start programs on distant systems and use its graphical interface on his own computer.

Alternative desktops - users can have multiple desktops to work on, spreaded on one or more monitors, and switching the desktop is just one mouseclick away. So if you have too many open windows, it`s still easy to navigate.

System-changes with a running system - Linux doesn`t have to be restarted after system-changes, even if the configuration has changed completely! All you have to do is restart the processes (daemons). Even system-programs can be changed with running systems.

Ressource allocation - Linux not only offers you secure safety guidelines, but also user quotas monitored by the system automatically.

Internet technology - being a full-valued UNIX, it offers you all possible ways to implement Internet and Intranet. Even the most actual add-ons are available like masquerading (NAT), tunneling, IPv6, ATM and so on.

Networkcompatible - Linux can be installed and configured via a network without problems.

Cooperation with other systems - Linux can be used as file-server for Windows computers, so Novell and Windows NT can be completely replaced. In addition to that Linux can cooperate with nearly all other systems via all known network protocols.

In this article, I'm going to show some of what I consider to be the advantages and disadvantages of running Linux. In some cases, you may agree, and in others you may disagree. This is really written to non-technical managers or others who are just curious about what Linux may have to offer them. Many of the things I am going to say can also be applied to other open-source operating systems, such as the BSD series of UNIX distributions. First, I'll list four advantages, then four disadvantages, and present my conclusion.

Advantage #1 - Stability

If you have used other operating systems, once you have made the switch to Linux, you will notice that Linux has an edge over Windows here. I can remember rebooting Windows many times over the years, because an application crashed, and I couldn't continue working. Linux can crash also, but it is much harder to do. If an application crashes in Linux, it will usually not harm the kernel or other processes.

Advantage #2 - Free Software

Most software can be obtained without cost for Linux. For example, one thing that has kept people from Linux is the lack of office software. That has changed with Open Office, and now you can edit documents and presentations from the popular Microsoft software. The conversion isn't 100% perfect, but it has worked remarkably well in allowing me to correspond and use documents that people send me via e-mail or the web.

Advantage #3 - Runs on old hardware

If you have an old 386 or 486 laying around collecting dust, you can use this to run Linux. I remember running Linux just fine on a Pentium 100 with a 1 GB disk drive, and 16 MB of memory. One use of an old machine like that could be a file server. Just go to your computer store, buy a large hard disk (as long as your old stuff can support it), and you can make a great storage server. With all the digital pictures and movies around today, this could be a great use for Linux. Look into using Samba, a server application for Linux that allows you to make your machine share the disk as a Windows share.

Advantage #4 - Security

Linux has the advantage of the code being in the public domain. This can be a double-edged sword; while you can look at the code, and developers can fix holes rapidly, it also means hackers can find bad code. I have been very impressed with the security of Linux, and the programs that run on it. I think having the code out in the open, and the ability to fix things yourself if necessary is a big plus. Who likes to work blind? With some distributions, on installation the computer will ask you what levels of security you would like for your system. You can be very trusting, or you can be paranoid. Linux gives you this flexiblity.

Disadvantage #1 - Learning curve

I won't lie to you; Linux is going to take some time to learn. I know that our society likes to be instantly gratified. Learning Linux is definitely worth your time, but to really master it, you will need to spend some good time in front of your machine tinkering with things. Don't expect to be an expert after reading something like “Linux for Dummies”. If you are contemplating this for your company, you will need to budget some money for training and learning time.

Disadvantage #2 - Equivalent programs

While I gave the example before of an office suite of programs that is working well, there are still applications that do not exist in Linux. Thankfully, this list has become much more narrow in recent months. You will want to think carefully when you switch to Linux about what programs you currently use, and if they have Linux support for them. It may not make sense for you to switch if you are going to spend tons of time converting databases and application data.

Disadvantage #3 - More technical ability needed

You will want to make sure that you train someone in Linux really well. Alternately, you could hire someone who has experience with Linux. A good Linux administrator needs to be on hand as you start to migrate your systems over. This is a disadvantage financially, at least in the beginning. You may find over time, however, that you only need a temporary administrator to handle the routine tasks.

Disadvantage #4 - Not all hardware compatible

Some of the latest and greatest hardware that is being produced is not compatible with Linux. At least, not yet. The people that contribute program code and drivers to the Linux kernel are great at including support fairly quickly. Until that time, not everything you buy for hardware in your system may work. I've had to rely on third-party drivers and other means to make hardware like a new Ethernet card work. Eventually, the support will be built in. One thing you can do is before your purchase, ask if the hardware vendor has support for Linux. Some manufacturers do write their own Linux drivers and distribute them with your purchase, making it very easy to integrate with your existing system.

Conclusion

Linux is a very viable operating system for your business. While initially requiring a significant investment in training and development, your company may see the benefits of having a great, stable operating system that is a real workhorse. Linux is not only a great server, it is also a good workstation, and with the many programs available, can lower the costs of software licensing fees for you. I'd encourage you to take a look at Linux. You will be glad that you did.

SEOUL - Menurut analis, Korea Selatan dinilai memiliki akses internet tercepat di dunia, mencapai 12 megabits per second (Mbps).

Data dari perusahaan jaringan terbesar Akamai, yang dilansir melalui Big News Network, Jumat (30/7/2010), menemukan jika rata-rata kecepatan internet jaringan global hanya sekira 1,7 Mbps. Meskipun beberapa negara telah mengimplementasikan layanan internet tercepat.

Dalam temuan tersebut, kota Masan di Korea Selatan menduduki peringkat teratas untuk internet kecepatan tinggi dengan akses mencapai 12 Mbps. Di tempat kedua diisi oleh Hong Kong dengan kecepatan 9 Mbps, dan Jepang menyusul di posisi kedua dengan akses 7,8 Mbps.

Di posisi empat dan lima, masing-masing ditempati Romania dan Latvia dengan kecepatan yang sama, 6,3 Mbps.

Negara yang paling antusias dengan kecepatan internet broadband adalah Inggris. Namun dalam data yang dimiliki Akamai, negara tersebut menduduki posisi 27 di antara total 201 negara yang disurvei, dengan rata-rata kecepatan internet hanya 3,8 Mbps. Angka ini masih di bawah target yang dikalkulasi regulator Ofcon.

"Kecepatan 100 Mbps juga tersedia di Korea Selatan namun tarifnya belum bisa terjangkau oleh masyarakat karena mencapai ratusan dolar per bulan," ujar Kepala Marketing Akamai David Belson.

Berikut negara dengan internet tercepat di dunia,

1. South Korea 12Mbps
2. Hong Kong 9Mbps
3. Japan 7.8Mbps
4. Romania 6.3Mbps
5. Latvia 6.3Mbps
6. Sweden 6.1Mbps
7. Netherlands 5.9Mbps
8. Czech Republic 5.4Mbps
9. Denmark 5.3Mbps
10. Switzerland 5.2Mbps

Jim Cartlon, seorang wartawan Wall Street Journal, baru-baru ini mengumpulkan keluhan dari pengguna
komputer Amerika semasa di awal era komputer.

 

1. Compaq pernah mempertimbangkan untuk mengubah perintah “Press ANY Key” menjadi “Press ENTER Key” kerana banyak penggunanya yang telefon yang menanyakan dimana tombol “ANY” di  keyboard. 

2. AST Technical Support menerima laporan komplen kerana kesulitan menggunakan mouse. Semasa Techincal Support datang ke rumahnya, mereka menjumpai mouse tersebut tidak boleh digunakan…  kerana masih berbungkus rapi di dalam plastiknya. Penggunanya (seorang wanita) takut dengan mouse
(tikus) sehingga tidak berani mengeluarkannya dari dalam plastik. Takut diserang mouse komputer? 

3. Di tahun 1980-an, ketika disket masih berukuran besar, Compaq pernah menerima keluhan seorang pengguna yang disketnya tidak boleh dibaca oleh drive-disk komputer. Setelah diselidiki, ternyata pengguna itu sebelumnya memasukkan disket ke dalam mesin taip dan menaip label yang tertampal di
disket itu. 

4. Sebuah keluhan lain dari pengguna AST yang mengatakan disket mereka terkena virus yang sukar dibersihkan. Petugas AST meminta orang itu mengirimkan copy disket yang terkena virus itu untuk diselidiki. Beberapa hari kemudian, petugas AST menerima fotostat disket dari pengguna tersebut. 

5. Seorang pengguna DELL mengeluh dia tidak dapat mengirimkan fax via komputer. Setelah diarahkan selama 40 minit melalui telefon, petugas DELL mendapati pengguna itu mencuba fax via komputer dengan cara memegang kertas yang akan di fax di depan monitor, sambil menekan tombol “SEND” di layar. 

6. Seorang konsumen DELL lain mengeluh karena keyboard yang digunakannya sudah tidak berfungsi sejak dibersihkan. Ketika ditanya cara ida membersihkan keyboard, dia menjelaskan, “Saya mencuci dan menggosok semua bahagian keyboard dengan sabun, dan membilasnya dengan air, lalu menjemurnya.”

7. Seorang pengguna DELL marah-marah kerana tidak boleh menyalakan komputer yang baru dibelinya. “Semua sudah terpasang dengan baik.Tapi setiap kali saya tekan pedal kaki , tidak terjadi apa-apa.” Setelah diselidiki ternyata “pedal kaki” yang dimaksud orang itu adalah : mouse. 

8. Seorang lagi pengguna DELL marah kerana komputer barunya tidak nyala.
Dia menjelaskan semua sudah terpasang dengan benar, dan ketika dia menunggu selama 20 minit, tidak terjadi apa-apa pada komputernya. Ketika teknisi DELL menanyakan apakah “power switch” sudah dinyalakan, dia balik bertanya, “Power switch apa?” 

9. Berikut adalah tanya-jawab antara petugas Novell NetWire dengan seorang pembeli : Penelefon : Hello, boleh bercakap dengan Tech Support? Novell : Ya, boleh saya dibantu? Penelefon : Tempat letak cawan di PC saya patah. Apa mungkin saya bisa menggantinya? Novell : Tempat letak cawan? Apakah itu hadiah saat Anda membeli komputer? Penelefon : Tidak. Tempat letak cawan ini sudah ada di komputer saya. Dan ketika saya meletakkan gelas saya di atasnya, tempat itu patah. Yang saya ketahui, di bahagian depan tempat itu ada tulisan “CD-ROM, 16X”. 

(Saat itu juga, petugas Novell langsung mematikan telefon dan tertawa terbahak-bahak…)

Seorang SAHABAT FACEBOOK kita kini menghidap BRAIN TUMOR dan amat memerlukan darah jenis 'O' Negatif. Pohon rayuan dari seluruh rakyat Malaysia tanpa mengira batasan agama dan bangsa untuk tampil membantu.

Sahabat itu kini kritikal di dalam HUKM. Minta hubungi saya, Rizan +60122853630 (24jam) atau inbox Sdra. Armand (li...nk dibawah) kepada yang sudi membantu. POHON JUGA SEBARKAN DI WALL MASING-MASING. Terima kasih. ht
