Androids Linux based OS IS (eligibly) Taking over ......watch out Microsoft !

Posted ven, 03/12/2010 - 00:16 by alexoverton

With the massive influx of the new Google Android phones, Microsoft
does not stand a hope in hells chance of a long term high player in the
Mobile phone market . Great news for anybody who appreciates the freedom
and open mindedness of open source software . Microsoft used to be the
leader in the hand held market , but it is only a matter of time before
Android gobbles it all up . I will be soooooo
happy when this happens .
Microsoft needs to realise that its old business model of digital
rights
and closed source is a closed book ! People think with their wallets

What can you do with an old laptop that has no hard drive ?

Posted mar, 02/09/2010 - 12:31 by alexoverton

My latest bit of excitement in my life .....yes its that good ! has been to set up a thin client ....WHAT ? I hear you say ....it is when you use the processor and memory of your server "Fat client " to run your client (thin)computer . The thin client only uses the keyboard - display and graphics card so does not need a hard drive and can be fairly old .

I achieved this using good old Ubuntu and booting from the network . get in touch if you want to know more .....I will send you the links ...

next time I introduce you to the world of ssh and secure file transfer .

10 reasons why I prefer using Ubuntu/Linux over Microsoft Windows

Posted ven, 02/05/2010 - 16:38 by alexoverton

1. Ubuntu is stable - you boot up and it works .
2. No anti-virus software required (THAT EATS YOUR SYSTEM RESOURCES )
3 Free and massive collection of software that you can install in 3 mouse clicks (or apt-get install if you prefer)
4. Updated freely be people who have not necessarily a financial gain involved .
5. It just works, no windows messages like " are you sure you want to install/run this software on your computer " bla bla .....every time you want to run some software that has not been approved by Microsoft !

Web Designers give your self a break and forget shared hosting

Posted ven, 10/02/2009 - 16:22 by alexoverton

You could say that I am "shooting myself in the foot" by letting out my gems of experience . I don't claim for a second I know all the answers but thought it was about time contribute to the WWW to maybe help out those struggling web designers (if there is such a thing !)

Its cheaper in the long run a virtual server and have complete control over your resources . Even better would be to have a dedicated server but you need more dosh !
