Picaros Diego Linux for children. here are a few distributions aimed at children: Doudou springs to mind, Tand there’s also Sugar on a Stick. Both of these are based on the idea that you need to protect children from the complexities of the computer (and protect the computer from the children). Picaros Diego is different. There’s nothing stripped- down or shielded from view. Instead, it’s a normal Linux distro with a brighter, more kid-friendly interface.

  • Présentation Ligne De Commande
    Kit de survie en lignes de commandes ... pour les nuls. Ceci est la version légèrement corrigée, étendue et complétée de la présentation du jeudi 2 juin 2018. Pourquoi la ligne de commande ? La ligne de commande est une chose qui a, pour des raisons marketting et en lien avec la massification de l'usage de l'outil informatique, peu à peu disparue alors qu'elle faisait partie intégrante des ordinateurs dans les années 80 et jusqu'en 1995 pour le grand public. Actuellement, la ligne de commande est perçue par les néophytes comme un objet de toute puissance ou de diabolisation. Les stéréotypes véhiculés par les media traditionnels associent souvent la ligne de commande, et in extenso le terminal, à un outil de hacker. Alors que cela a été pendant longtemps le quotidien de beaucoup d'utilisateurs. Posons un peu de vocabulaire : Linux est un noyau c'est à dire un binaire qui communique avec le matériel. Autour de lui est le système GNU (pour GNU is Not Unix). Le système GNU a été pensé dans les années 80 comme étant une alternative Libre au système (gratuit) mais propriétaire Unix. Dans les années 80, à la préhistoire informatique, les systèmes d'ordinateurs n'avaient pour ainsi dire pas d'interface graphique (et encore moins de souris) : un noyau, un interpréteur de commande (shell) et quelques utilitaires suffisaient à faire un ordinateur fonctionnel. Ici le système Microsoft Disk Operating System fonctionnant avec les fichier : msdos.sys et io.sys (l'équivalent du noyau), config.sys et autoexec.bat, à partir de là l'interpréteur de commande (ou shell) : COMMAND.COM s'exécute et affiche l'image précédente.

Proprietary software in a non-default area. [3] Official website www.debian.org Debian (/ˈdɛbiən/) is an operating system composed of free software mostly carrying the GNU General Public License, and developed by an Internet collaboration of volunteers aligned with the Debian Project. It is one of the most popular Linux distributions for personal computers and network servers, and has been used as a base for other Linux distributions. Debian 2 Debian was announced in 1993 by Ian Murdock, and the first stable release was made in 1996. The development is carried out by a team of volunteers guided by a project leader and three foundational documents. New distributions are updated continually and the next candidate is released after a time-based freeze. As one of the earliest distributions in Linux's history, Debian was envisioned to be developed openly in the spirit of Linux and GNU. This vision drew the attention and support of the Free Software Foundation, who sponsored the project for the first part of its life.
