Informasietegnologie Linux Ubuntu Or Windows? POST LIST INFORMASIETEGNOLOGIE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LINUX UBUNTU OR WINDOWS? In this article we will look at a few of the common differences between Ubuntu and windows 8. Firstly with any software package before making decisions most people will look at what it would cost me as user to purchase it. With windows 8 you are looking at a retail price of R800 upwards, but of course as a student of Stellenbosch University, it can be purchased for a mere R180-00 from the Student IT Centre. However with Ubuntu, it’s completely free! Now let’s have a look at how they differ at first glance, Ubuntu brings their Unity look to the platform whereas Windows 8 brings there new metro look to theirs. Ubuntu is also a fairly light weight operating system compared to Windows 8 which takes up 16 to 20 GB of hard drive space compared to Ubuntu’s 4.5GB. Below is a table of a list of relevant comparisons. Feature/App Linux Windows Cost to end-user Free R800 and upwards Office application Libre & Open Office, Google docs, Libre & Open Office, Google docs, Office 365 + choices Office Web Apps, Soft maker Office Web Apps, Microsoft Office suite, Soft maker Office Space required for OS size 4.5GB OS size is 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit) installation Risk of software Almost non existent Various malicious software, High risk security threats Email clients Thunderbird, Evolution, KMail, Opera Thunderbird, Evolution, Opera Mail, Pegasus Mail, Pegasus Mail, Claws Mail Mail, Claws Mail, Windows Live Mail, Office Outlook Web Browsers Google Chrome, Firefox/Waterfox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, Epiphany, Konqueror Firefox/Waterfox, Opera Music/Video Rhythmbox, VLC, Songbird, Musique, Windows Media Player, VLC, Winamp, Media Players Clementine, Boxee, Miro Monkey, iTunes, Clementine, Zune Player, Foobar2000, RealPlayer, MPC, Gom Player Instant Messaging Pidgin, Empathy, Skype, Digsby Pidgin, Skype, Google Talk, MXit, Digsby, Yahoo Messenger Image Editors GIMP, GimpShop, Inkscape, Picasa GIMP, GimpShop, Inkscape, Picasa, Adobe Photoshop, Paint.net, Adobe Illustrator Cloud Storage Ubuntu One, Dropbox, Skydrive ( Amazon Cloud drive, Google drive, Skydrive, through SME) Ubuntu One, Dropbox Games services Steam, Ubuntu Software market, tons of Steam, Origin, uPlay, online stores including online stores including GOG, many GOG, Xbox Live Marketplace, Microsoft Store games through WINE (Windows 8) With regards to applications, the list is really endless as there are applications available for free or as paid options of software on Windows, so there are fully-featured versions of apps that do the same thing on Linux. Some of them are free, others are paid for. The beauty of both operating systems is that you’re not that limited for choice – just a glance at the table shows that there’s more choice for Windows users than ever before. And if you’re more comfortable with the way Windows works, you can still save money in other areas – using Libre Office, Thunderbird and GIMP in place of their paid-for counterparts like Office, Outlook and Photoshop. Ubuntu and Windows 8 desktops In terms of user interfaces, both are easy to get used to. I’m not too fond of the way Ubuntu handles maximised applications but that’s okay because you can install any interface you’d prefer. Windows works more or less the same, but there are options, apps and skins to make it look and work the way you want it to. As far as driver support goes, though, you may struggle here and there with particular objects. Many peripherals and devices are natively supported in the Linux kernel but some require proprietary software to work properly, as in the case of graphics drivers from NVidia, AMD and Intel. All three do support Linux to some degree, although it’s nothing like the support users enjoy on Windows. So to conclude its entirely up to you with which operating system you go with. This comparison guide should assist you in making that decision in deciding which one suits your requirements from what you looking for in an operating system.

  • Free Email Software Download Best Free Email Client 2021
    free email software download Best Free Email Client 2021. This article is all about best free email clients and how they can help you be more productive. We also talk about Clean Email, an easy-to-use email cleaner compatible with virtually all major email services. But before we go over the best email clients for 2021, we believe that we should first explain what advantages email clients have over web-based interfaces of various email services. Clean Email. Take control of your mailbox. What Is an Email Client and Why Should I Use One? If you’re like most people, you probably check your email at least once every day. And if you’re someone whose work involves communication with customers, clients, and coworkers, the chances are that you deal with emails all the time. Even though we spend so much time writing, forwarding, and managing emails, we hardly ever pause for a moment and think about how we could improve our emailing experience. We use clunky web interfaces that are not meant for professional use, we accept outdated applications as if alternatives didn’t exist, and we settle for the default email apps on our mobile devices even though app stores are full of excellent third-party email apps. Broadly speaking, an email client is a computer program used to access and manage a user’s email. But when we use the term email client in this article, we only mean those email clients that can be installed on a desktop computer or a mobile device—not web-based email clients that are hosted remotely and are accessible only from a web browser.

  • The Behringer PODCAST & RECORDING
    PODCAST & RECORDING QUICK-START GUIDE Welcome to the Behringer PODCAST & RECORDING quick-start guide Thank you for choosing one of our podcast-capable recording products. This top-notch hardware bundle lets you creatively produce professional-sounding podcasts, voice-over sessions, narration, and music projects for online distribution.

Move up to the next step in the evolution of broadcasting and free yourself from the limitations of conventional communication. Podcasting Basics Before you get started, it is important to understand some of the terminology and uses surrounding the emerging field of podcasting. Podcasting is a term derived from the combination of the words “iPod” and “broadcasting,” and is defined as the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio programs or music clips, over the Internet. This is accomplished by using one of two syndication techniques that allow users to access media on such portable media devices as smart phones, tablets, MP3 players, and laptop computers. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and Atom are Web content syndication formats written in XML that provide either podcast content or summaries that link to content and additional file information. Podcast is a feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for public access. Anyone can subscribe to the feed and download the media files. This allows you to collect programs from a wide range of sources for listening or viewing media content, either online or offline with your computer or an appropriate portable device.

    Prepared exclusively for Alison Tyler Download at Boykma.Com What readers are saying about Ubuntu Kung Fu Ubuntu Kung Fu is excellent. The tips are fun and the hope of discov- ering hidden gems makes it a worthwhile task. John Southern Former editor of Linux Magazine I enjoyed Ubuntu Kung Fu and learned some new things. I would rec- ommend this book—nice tips and a lot of fun to be had. Carthik Sharma Creator of the Ubuntu Blog (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com) Wow! There are some great tips here! I have used Ubuntu since April 2005, starting with version 5.04. I found much in this book to inspire me and to teach me, and it answered lingering questions I didn’t know I had. The book is a good resource that I will gladly recommend to both newcomers and veteran users.

  • A Usability Study of the Opera Web Browser and Its Contexts of Use
    User Attitudes and Environmental Factors: A Usability Study of the Opera Web Browser and its Contexts of Use Curtis Peterson Nick Bateman Luke Burnett Introduction Information from a usability study on a product can provide beneficial information for a specified group or individual with user problems, ideas for development, and recommendations for the product. Our usability test compares a new option for browsing the web called Opera with the more familiar browsers Internet Explorer (IE) and Netscape. Opera has recently become available in Michigan Technological University’s Center for Computer-Assisted Language Instruction (CCLI); our intentions were to invite CCLI users to take the test and record the data straight from the actual environment. We found seven participants. Dawn Hayden, the director of the CCLI, accepted our proposal to conduct this test; in turn, we promised to provide her with information for further recommendation of the product, in future considerations of CCLI software. The question we want to answer is this: Is Opera initially impressing users as an improvement over existing web browsers? To answer this question, Opera’s aspects of initial attraction for new users must be defined. There are three areas where a new browser must succeed in impressing intended users: · Adaptability of user features · Accessibility of user option preference · Navigability of user interface. Methodology Imagine you are asked to design your “ideal” web browser that will compete on the big market. True, it is not an easy task. So do you think you could just draw a picture of it? What would your options be? We asked a group of users to do just this exercise during this usability test.

  • Release Notes (PDF)
    RELEASE NOTES April 2020 Elcomsoft Internet Password Breaker Version 3.10 Elcomsoft Internet Password Breaker instantly extracts passwords, stored forms and AutoComplete information from popular Web browsers and email clients. Obtain individual passwords or export all data in order to build a perfect custom dictionary for password recovery attacks performed with other tools. Summary In this release, Elcomsoft Internet Password Breaker receives an update to add compatibility with the newest addition to the Web browser family. This release introduces support for the latest Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows editions. In addition, the tool was updated to support the latest builds of Google Chrome, Opera and Chromium. Essential updates The Chrome update The latest versions of Chrome no longer employ Microsoft DPAPI for protecting stored passwords. Instead, the passwords are protected with industry-standard AES 256 GCM encryption, while DPAPI is only used to protect the vault encryption key. The latest versions of Opera, Chromium, and new Microsoft Edge browsers are based on the same encryption scheme. Elcomsoft Internet Password Breaker 3.10 was updated to support the latest encryption scheme employed in the latest versions of Chromium-based Web browsers. Microsoft Edge (Chromium edition) With Microsoft planning to ship the new Chromium-based Edge browser with every Windows installation, Microsoft Edge can become Chrome’s major competitor. Thanks to using the same engine as Google Chrome, Microsoft is offering a straightforward migration path by importing data including stored passwords in a click of a button. New Elcomsoft Internet Password Breaker 3.10 retrieves user-saved and synchronized passwords from the new Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browser, both 32-bit and 64-bit.
