One cannot expect an average user to install Linux to dual­boot with their current Windows installation. In fact, Linux is no harder to install than any other Operating System. But since Windows comes pre­ installed, all the user must do is to activate the end user license to get going. The only thing we – Linux users ­ must do, is to install it on their computer in dual­boot mode, and give them a few how­tos on how to work with it. Isn't that something we all have done in the past many times? Linux is ready for the desktop if you never hear back from those converted users again.

The project started in 2003 from the source code of the Netscape browser which had been released when Netscape went bust. In April 2009, Firefox recorded 29% use worldwide (34% in Europe). Firefox is standards compliant and has a system of add-ons which allow innovative new features to be added by the community. OpenOffice.org is an office suite similar to Microsoft Office. It started life as Star Office. Sun Microsystems realised it was cheaper to buy out Star Office than to pay Microsoft for licence fees for MS Office. Sun then released the source code for Star Office under the name OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org is mostly compatible with MS Office file formats, which allows users to open .docs and .xls files in Open Office. Microsoft is working on a plug-in for MS Office that allows it to open .odf files. ODF (Open Document Format) is Open Office's default file format. Once this plug-in is complete there will 100% compatiblity between the two office suites. VLC is the VideoLAN Client. It was originally designed to allow you to watch video over the network.

  • Easy Slackware
    1 Создание легкой системы на базе Slackware I - Введение Slackware пользуется заслуженной популярностью как классический linux дистрибутив, и поговорка "кто знает Red Hat тот знает только Red Hat, кто знает Slackware тот знает linux" несмотря на явный снобизм поклонников "бога Патре­ га" все же имеет под собой основания. Одним из преимуществ Slackware является возможность простого создания на ее основе практически любой системы, в том числе быстрой и легкой десктопной, о чем далее и пойдет речь. Есть дис­ трибутивы, клоны Slackware, созданные именно с этой целью, типа Аbsolute, но все же лучше создавать систему под себя, с максимальным учетом именно своих потребностей, и Slackware пожалуй как никакой другой дистрибутив подходит именно для этой цели. Легкость и быстрота системы определяется выбором WM (DM) , набором программ и оптимизацией программ и системы в целом. Первое исключает KDE, Gnome, даже новые версии XFCЕ, остается разве что LXDE, но набор программ в нем совершенно не устраивает. Оптимизация наиболее часто используемых про­ грамм и нескольких базовых системных пакетов осуществляется их сборкой из сорцов компилятором, оптимизированным именно под Ваш комп, причем каж­ дая программа конфигурируется исходя из Ваших потребностей к ее возможно­ стям. Оптимизация системы в целом осуществляется ее настройкой согласно спе­ цифическим требованиям к десктопу. Такой подход был выбран по банальной причине, возиться с gentoo нет ни­ какого желания, комп все таки создан для того чтобы им пользоваться, а не для компиляции программ, в тоже время у каждого есть минимальный набор из не­ большого количества наиболее часто используемых программ, на которые стоит потратить некоторое, не такое уж большое, время, чтобы довести их до ума. Кро­ ме того, такой подход позволяет иметь самые свежие версии наиболее часто ис­ пользуемых программ.

  • COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen
    COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen Citation Bogost, Ian. Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism. Cambridge, MA: MIT, 2006. Keywords: Mythical and scientific modes of thought (bricoleur vs. engineer), bricolage, cyber texts, ergodic literature, Unit operations. Games: Zork I. Argument & Perspective Ian Bogost’s “unit operations” that he mentions in the title is a method of analyzing and explaining not only video games, but work of any medium where works should be seen “as a configurative system, an arrangement of discrete, interlocking units of expressive meaning.” (Bogost x) Similarly, in this chapter, he more specifically argues that as opposed to seeing video games as hard pieces of technology to be poked and prodded within criticism, they should be seen in a more abstract manner. He states that “instead of focusing on how games work, I suggest that we turn to what they do— how they inform, change, or otherwise participate in human activity…” (Bogost 53) This comparative video game criticism is not about invalidating more concrete observances of video games, such as how they work, but weaving them into a more intuitive discussion that explores the true nature of video games. II. Ideas Unit Operations: Like I mentioned in the first section, this is a different way of approaching mediums such as poetry, literature, or videogames where works are a system of many parts rather than an overarching, singular, structured piece. Engineer vs. Bricoleur metaphor: Bogost uses this metaphor to compare the fundamentalist view of video game critique to his proposed view, saying that the “bricoleur is a skillful handy-man, a jack-of-all-trades who uses convenient implements and ad hoc strategies to achieve his ends.” Whereas the engineer is a “scientific thinker who strives to construct holistic, totalizing systems from the top down…” (Bogost 49) One being more abstract and the other set and defined.
