Course simplifies Computer Science into a single course ( no need to study Computer Architecure , Assembly, language, complier, OS text books seperately ) ...one shot everthing in it . Don't know much about it ,but ordered the book. read below .TECS - The most amazing CS course I have seen!

Experience ubuntu

What is Ubuntu? I am searching new answers. I will say this is more than an operating system... more than a software or man made computer intelligence. This is derived from people who offer humanity or allow or make a way others to grow in the computer science world.

Ubuntu become very much advanced

Today I tried to play video in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Then its asked for some file encoding software. After checked them to installation , amazing it automatically download the data from net and installed in lap. Now i am quite confident to say after 2 years in Kerala you can see more Ubuntu Desktops in Schools and Houses compared to MS.Ubuntu gives you the power and flexibility for business, education and home use.

Ubuntu can change everything

Yesterday I had installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition. I really wondered on seeing the installation as well as appearence of latest Ubuntu. In that cover of Ubuntu CD ( www.ubuntu.com ), they have described their mission. After one round usimg I realised the tremendous differance between 6th and 8 th version of Ubuntu.You can feel the differance in windows closing ,utilities and in booting ,opening screen. Moreover I understood the strength of ubuntu community ( www.ubuntu.com/community ) . "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word that means "humanity to others " . This Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to software world.

But this time also I missed to make a swap partion. Actually I don't know how to make a swap? How much space needed ? How it should be specified at the time of installation??

Open source business tools

Now I am doing everything with opensource( for my personal things and personal business) . For writing documents openoffice, for editing images GIMP and 'vi' as program coding.Everything is free and available in UBUNTU operating system.

ubuntu counting my patience

I tried to get play audio and video in Ubuntu Linux. But it's showing "Totem could not start up" message. After that I went for downloading some other player.Then Synaptic Package Manager is showing some error like

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://archive.ubuntu.com hoary-updates/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hoary-updates_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)


this. I tried toinstall php also in ubuntu. But it also failed. 'apt-get install' is also not working. Now I am totaly upset.

ubuntu running

Today only I installed ubuntu linux. After installation I had xserver configuration problem in ubuntu so that I could not go to graphics mode. I tried lot off time to login as root(super user) . Actually ubuntu will not ask root password at installation time. Finally I had to google for that. Then I got 'sudo' command. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo . Reconfiguring command for xserver is 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
