Happy new year! I hope all of you had a great holiday season and that you're ready for more Full Circle. This month we have an article on Enlightenment17 (aka: E17) and which distros have, and had, E17. I haven't tried it in quite some time, but I'm tempted to install Bodhi on my laptop. Oh, and Greg is hoping to return next month with his Python articles. He's a bit busy with real life at the moment. But, fear not, the LibreOffice and Backup articles continue. This month Allan looks at DropBox. Last month we looked at creating a persistent USB stick. This month we take it one step further and create an encrypted USB stick. And if you run a web server you'll want to take a look at our article on Varnish web cache. Full Circle Podcast We also have a couple of great games being reviewed and a quick article on how to install Released monthly, each episode and run Minecraft.

  • Ubuntu Kung Fu
    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. Matthew Helmke Administrator, Ubuntu Forums Ubuntu Kung Fu is a fantastic compendium of useful, uncommon Ubuntu knowledge.

  • 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.

  • Mobile Phones and Cloud Computing
    Mobile phones and cloud computing A quantitative research paper on mobile phone application offloading by cloud computing utilization Oskar Hamrén Department of informatics Human Computer Interaction Master’s programme Master thesis 2-year level, 30 credits SPM 2012.07 Abstract The development of the mobile phone has been rapid. From being a device mainly used for phone calls and writing text messages the mobile phone of today, or commonly referred to as the smartphone, has become a multi-purpose device. Because of its size and thermal constraints there are certain limitations in areas of battery life and computational capabilities. Some say that cloud computing is just another buzzword, a way to sell already existing technology. Others claim that it has the potential to transform the whole IT-industry. This thesis is covering the intersection of these two fields by investigating if it is possible to increase the speed of mobile phones by offloading computational heavy mobile phone application functions by using cloud computing. A mobile phone application was developed that conducts three computational heavy tests. The tests were run twice, by not using cloud computing offloading and by using it. The time taken to carry out the tests were saved and later compared to see if it is faster to use cloud computing in comparison to not use it. The results showed that it is not beneficial to use cloud computing to carry out these types of tasks; it is faster to use the mobile phone. 1 Table of Contents Abstract ..................................................................................................................................... 1 Table of Contents ..................................................................................................................... 2 1.

  • Gestión De Respaldos En Debian
    Gestión de respaldos en Debian Los ordenadores en algún momento fallan o errores humanos causan daños al sistema y los datos. Las operaciones de copia de seguridad y recuperación son una parte esencial de la administración del sistema para que el mismo se recupere después de un fallo y siga funcionando correctamente. Para ello, existen tres puntos clave a tener en cuenta para determina la política del respaldo. 1. Saber qué debemos respaldar. 2. Saber cómo respaldar y recuperar en caso de fallo. 3. Evaluación de riesgos y costos involucrados. Debemos respaldar los siguientes archivos: Archivos de datos directamente creados por el usuario: datos en "~/". Archivos de datos creados por las aplicaciones utilizadas: datos en "/var/", exceptuando "/var/cache/", "/var/run/", y "/var/tmp/". Archivos de configuración del sistema: datos en “/etc/”. Softwares locales: datos en “/usr/local/” o “/opt/”. Información de instalación del sistema: un archivo de texto sin formato con los pasos claves (particiones, etc). Demostración del conjunto de datos: confirmado por las operaciones de recuperación experimentales realizadas con antelación. Al realizar el respaldo, debemos tener en cuenta los siguientes puntos: El almacenamiento seguro de datos: protección sobre los fallos de sistema y la sobreescritura. Realizar copias de seguridad frecuentes: de forma programada. La copia de seguridad debe ser redundante: duplicación de datos (data mirroring). El proceso debe ser fácil: en lo posible que requiera solo un comando para la copia de seguridad. Debemos realizar una evaluación del proceso a utilizar: Valor de los datos en caso de pérdidas. Los recursos necesarios para la copia de seguridad: usuario, hardware y software.

  • By Joseeantonior What Exactly Is Ubuntu?
    Introduction to Ubuntu By JoseeAntonioR What exactly is Ubuntu? Ubuntu is an operating system, based on Linux. About Releases We release versions every 6 months, and they are codenamed with a year.month format, and an adjective + an animal that represents the version. In this case, our last version is 12.04, also codenamed Precise Pangolin. About Releases It is a LTS release (long term support), which means it will have support for 5 years, in both Desktop and Server versions. Normal releases are supported in a 18-month basis. Versions As mentioned before, we have Desktop and Server versions. The versions name explain their uses. One of the differences you have between versions, is the graphic interface. In Ubuntu Server, you don't have a graphical interface, while you do in the desktop version. We also have a Cloud version, for cloud infrastructures. How to download Ubuntu To download Ubuntu, you can go to http://www.ubuntu.com/download to download the images. We also host previous releases. You can check all the releases that are still supported in http://releases.ubuntu.com. Non-supported versions are in http://old-releases.ubuntu.com. How to download Ubuntu One of the main questions is, where can I find the torrent link for Ubuntu? The torrent links are available in the releases.ubuntu.com page, the link is in the files list which you can find at the bottom. How to try and install Ubuntu Once you download the .iso file for Ubuntu, you can burn it into a CD, or make a USB stick with it.

Contributor the vast majority of you probably know me (or have at least seen me H around the forums), I feel that I should take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Daniel Griffiths, and I am a 26-year-old independent contractor in Delaware, US. Throughout my life, I have wandered through various UNIX/Linux systems including (but not limited to) MINIX, RedHat, Mandrake, Slackware, Gentoo, Debian, and even two home made distributions based on Linux From Scratch. I finally found Arch in 2007 and instantly fell in love with its elegant simplicity. Some of our more attentive readers may note that Arch already has a monthly newsletter. With the existence of the aformentioned newsletter, what is the point of adding another news medium to the mix? Fear not, newsletter readers, I have no intention of letting Arch User Magazine take the place of the newsletter. In fact, Arch User Magazine and the newsletter are intended to fill two very different needs in the Arch community.
