[125013330010] |<title>Magic Trackpad drivers land in Ubuntu Maverick and Upstream! </title>
[125013330020] |If you’ve read some of my previous posts, you’ll note that I’ve been spending some time adding Magic Trackpad functionality to the current Magic Mouse driver in the kernel.
[125013330030] |I’m pleased to report that the changes have landed both in Ubuntu and upstream in Jiri Kosina’s HID tree as it awaits merging into Linus’ tree.
[125013330040] |It will be available in Ubuntu 10.10 and hopefully in Linux 2.6.37.
[125013330050] |There is still one remaining issue with the driver, however.
[125013330060] |The protocol used by the device is unique, and this poses challenges when trying to work with the HID layer.
[125013330070] |In Ubuntu we are papering over the issue, but Michael Poole has a patch that may resolve it once and for all.
[125013330080] |I plan to test the patch out soon, and I hope it is suitable for inclusion upstream.

[125013340010] |<title>MirrorBrain - Download Redirector and generates Metalinks, Torrents and crypto-hashes</title>
[125013340020] |MirrorBrain is an open source framework to run a content delivery network using mirror servers.
[125013340030] |It solves a challenge that many popular open source projects face - a flood of download requests, often magnitudes more than a single site could practically handle.
[125013340040] |A central (and probably the most obvious) part is a “download redirector” which automatically redirects requests from web browsers or download programs to a mirror server near them.
[125013340050] |Choosing a suitable mirror for a users request is the key, and MirrorBrain uses geolocation and global routing data to make a sensible choice, and achieve load-balancing for the mirrors at the same time.
[125013340060] |The used algorithm is both sophisticated and easy to control and tune.
[125013340070] |In addition, MirrorBrain monitors mirrors, scans them for files, generates mirror lists, and more.
[125013340080] |<strong>Install mirror brain in ubuntu</strong>
[125013340090] |First you need to make sure you have <a>install Ubuntu LAMP server</a> once you have this you need to Add package repository
[125013340100] |edit /etc/apt/sources.list file
[125013340110] |sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[125013340120] |Add one of the following
[125013340130] |For ubuntu 10.04 users add the following line
[125013340140] |deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache:/MirrorBrain/Ubuntu_10.04/ /
[125013340150] |For ubuntu 9.10 users add the following line
[125013340160] |deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache:/MirrorBrain/xUbuntu_9.10/ /
[125013340170] |Save and exit the file
[125013340180] |Install GPG key
[125013340190] |sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://wwwkeys.de.pgp.net --recv-keys BD6D129A
[125013340200] |Update source list
[125013340210] |sudo apt-get update
[125013340220] |Install the MirrorBrain packages using the following command
[125013340230] |sudo apt-get install mirrorbrain mirrorbrain-tools mirrorbrain-scanner libapache2-mod-mirrorbrain libapache2-mod-autoindex-mb
[125013340240] |install an Apache MPM
[125013340250] |sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker
[125013340260] |Note :- If the LAMP server has been installed, the prefork MPM was probably preselected.
[125013340270] |It may make sense to switch to the worker MPM in such cases, which is a good choice for busy download servers.
[125013340280] |If something like PHP is in use as embedded interpreter (mod_php), though, then you need to stick to the prefork MPM, because libraries that are used by PHP might not be threadsafe.
[125013340290] |<strong>Configure mod_geoip</strong>
[125013340300] |mod_geoip is configured to look for the GeoIP data set in /var/lib/GeoIP.
[125013340310] |You need to download the GeoIP data set.
[125013340320] |We chose the larger “city” dataset:
[125013340330] |wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz
[125013340340] |gunzip GeoIP.dat.gz
[125013340350] |sudo mkdir /var/lib/GeoIP
[125013340360] |sudo cp GeoIP.dat /var/lib/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat
[125013340370] |<strong>Configure mod_dbd</strong>
[125013340380] |With Ubuntu 10.04, the DBD (Apache Portable Runtime DBD Framework) database adapter for PostgreSQL is already installed, because the driver is statically linked into the libaprutil1 shared object. libaprutil1-dbd-pgsql is a virtual package which is just a pointer to the libaprutil1 package.
[125013340390] |Running the following snippet will create a configuration for mod_dbd:
[125013340400] |sudo sh -c “cat >/etc/apache2/mods-available/dbd.conf <<EOF <IfModule mod_dbd.c> DBDriver pgsql DBDParams ‘host=localhost user=mirrorbrain password=12345 dbname=mirrorbrain connect_timeout=15′ </IfModule> EOF ”
[125013340410] |Note:-Edit the password in the template here – take note of it, you’ll need it below, when you create a database user account.
[125013340420] |<strong>Install PostgreSQL</strong>
[125013340430] |Install the PostgreSQL server (here, version 8.4 is the current version):
[125013340440] |sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.4
[125013340450] |Create the postgresql user account and database
[125013340460] |Switch to user postgres:
[125013340470] |sudo su - postgres
[125013340480] |Create user:
[125013340490] |createuser -P mirrorbrain Enter password for new role: Enter it again: Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n
[125013340500] |Create database:
[125013340510] |createdb -O mirrorbrain mirrorbrain createlang plpgsql mirrorbrain
[125013340520] |Exit user postgres:
[125013340530] |exit
[125013340540] |Edit host-based authentication
[125013340550] |Add line host mirrorbrain mirrorbrain 127.0.0.1/32 md5 to the end of pg_hba.conf, which is to be found here:
[125013340560] |sudo vim /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf
[125013340570] |Start the PostgreSQL server:
[125013340580] |sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 restart
[125013340590] |Create needed users and groups
[125013340600] |Create user and group mirrorbrain:
[125013340610] |sudo groupadd -r mirrorbrain sudo useradd -r -m -g mirrorbrain -s /bin/bash -c “MirrorBrain user” -d /home/mirrorbrain mirrorbrain
[125013340620] |<strong>Import initial mirrorbrain data</strong>
[125013340630] |Import structure and data, running the commands as user mirrorbrain:
[125013340640] |sudo su - mirrorbrain gunzip -c /usr/share/doc/mirrorbrain/sql/schema-postgresql.sql.gz | psql -U mirrorbrain mirrorbrain gunzip -c /usr/share/doc/mirrorbrain/sql/initialdata-postgresql.sql.gz | psql -U mirrorbrain mirrorbrain exit
[125013340650] |<strong>Create needed directories</strong>
[125013340660] |Create the following directory for logs, and give ownership to the new mirrorbrain user:
[125013340670] |sudo mkdir /var/log/mirrorbrain sudo chown mirrorbrain:mirrorbrain /var/log/mirrorbrain sudo chmod 0750 /var/log/mirrorbrain
[125013340680] |Once this installation completed you need to follow <a>mirrorbrain configuration steps </a>
[125013350010] |<title>Sqlkit - Edit data in a database</title>
[125013350020] |<a>Sqlkit</a> provides a GUI named sqledit to edit data in a database, as well as a package (sqlkit) in PyGtk. Sqledit (the application) can be run from the command line with arguments and will pop directly into the table/mask of the data, or without arguments and will present an input mask to write the database URL.
[125013350030] |Sqlkit (the Python package) provides SqlMask and SqlTable, two widgets for editing database data.
[125013350040] |It is meant to be used as a base for database desktop applications.
[125013350050] |<strong>Features</strong>
[125013350060] |Main features of sqlkit:
[125013350070] |* Editor of databases in 2 modes: SqlTable &SqlMask.
[125013350080] |Mask can embed tables of related tables.
[125013350090] |* Based on sqlalchemy: can cope with many different database backend (Postgresql, Mysql, sqlite the most popular ones).
[125013350100] |Can be used to edit any selectable you can build with sqlalchemy.
[125013350110] |* Very powerfull filtering capabilities:
[125013350120] |o each field can be used to filter visible records
[125013350130] |o date filtering possible also on relative basis (good for saved queries)
[125013350140] |o works on expressions too
[125013350150] |o works on fields in related tables embedded in mask
[125013350160] |* Completion both on normal fields and foreign key fields
[125013350170] |* Very easy way to draw a layout for mask views
[125013350180] |* Sqledit - the standalone program to browse and edit data: python script to edit db

[125013350210] |* Possibility to display Totals in numeric fields
[125013350220] |* Constraints: any possible sql constraint can be attached to a Mask or a Table.
[125013350230] |It can be expressed as a normal sqlalchemy query or with django-like syntax.
[125013350240] |Works on expressions too.
[125013350250] |* SqlMask and SqlTable are widgets with several Signals
[125013350260] |* Hooks for a very easy customization of behaviour and for validation

[125013530130] |You can then load the history file into DreamPie, and quickly redo previous commands.
[125013530140] |* Automatically adds parentheses and optionally quotes when you press space after functions and methods.
[125013530150] |For example, execfile fn automatically turns into execfile(“fn”).
[125013530160] |* Supports interactive plotting with matplotlib.

[125013540010] |<title>Justniffer - tcp packet sniffer</title>
[125013540020] |<a>justniffer</a> is a tcp packet sniffer.
[125013540030] |It can log network traffic in a customizable way. can simulate web server logs as the Apache access_log. may include information such as response times. useful to troubleshoot performance issues.
[125013540040] |It can also capture http traffic content (html, javascript, css, images, sounds, etc..)
[125013540050] |And save it in a directory Main differences from other sniffers
[125013540060] |Most of the sniffers are divided into two categories, packet an text sniffers.
[125013540070] |Both suffer from incompleteness of information that may be collected and analyzed
[125013540080] |* Packet sniffers collect too much data, such as packet headers details, and they make easy to analize low level network problem (such as tcp retrasmissions, or ip fragmentation) but make hard-working and time wasting to analize more high level details ( such as content correctness, keep-alive issues, connection timeouts, response time, etc)
[125013540090] |* Textmode sniffers usually rebuild TCP stream but cannot collect low level information such as timestamps.
[125013540100] |They often rebuild the tcp flow in a too simplistic way and fail when dealing with complex TCP/IP issues (reordering, retransmission, reassemlbying, etc).
[125013540110] |TCP reassembling and reordering is a complex exercise, and require a deep knowledge of TCP/IP protocol and long experience in the field.
[125013540120] |Usually,they are useful for pure grabbing content from network traffic.
[125013540130] |Justniffer was born to help in toubleshooting perfomance in network tcp based services : HTTP, JDBC, RTSP, SIP, SMTP, IMAP, POP, LDAP, etc.

[125013610090] |then, do an expect script of your telnet session, the way you want it. (internet is full of articles about expect scripting, and believe me it’s real easy!)
[125013610100] |then in terminal launch the script using expect and use the program “tee” to redirect the output to a file on ur pc.
[125013610110] |example:
[125013610120] |we have an expect script called fetch.
[125013610130] |in terminal we do:
[125013610140] |expect fetch | tee example.txt
[125013610150] |this command will launch connect to telnet, automatically do the commands u put in the fetch script, and send all the output till the end to a file in ur current directory named example.txt
[125013610160] |if the operation is a routine (fetching data for example regularly) u can add the command to cron to schedule it to run anytime u want automatically and save u the output data.
[125013610170] |to do that enter crontab -e in terminal and add the job there, or alternatively do:
[125013610180] |sudo apt-get install gnome-schedule
[125013610190] |and edit cron graphically, but needless to say, the terminal gives u a wider set of control and options on cron.

[125013740020] |downtimed is a program for monitoring operating system downtime, uptime, shutdowns and crashes and for keeping record of such events.
[125013740030] |downtimed is a daemon process which is intended to be started automatically from system boot scripts every time when the operating system of a server starts.
[125013740040] |First the daemon logs its findings about the previous downtime to a specified logging destination as well as in a database file which can be displayed with downtimes command.
[125013740050] |Thereafter the downtimed daemon just keeps waiting in the background and periodically updates a time stamp file on the disk.
[125013740060] |The time stamp is used to determine the approximate time when the system was last up and running.
[125013740070] |In case of a graceful system shutdown it records a stamp to another file on the disk.
[125013740080] |These files are used for reporting the next time the daemon starts.
[125013740090] |downtimes is a command-line tool which can be used to inspect previous downtime records recorded in the downtime database file.
[125013740100] |This sofware works currently on recent FreeBSD and GNU/Linux based operating system distributions.
[125013740110] |It can be ported to other modern UNIX-like operating systems relatively easily.
[125013740120] |The software is available under Simplified BSD license.

[125013760010] |<title>Ubuntu Netbook Edition Review</title>
[125013760020] |I got a very good conditioned asus eeepc 701 and the first distro of choice after chatting on freenode channel <a>#eeepc</a> was ubuntu netbook edition or une for short (10.04 Lucid).
[125013760030] |I took the advice and installed away via the instructions from the <a>webpage</a> but there was a glitch..
[125013760040] |I ended up having to mount the usb and having to rename the file isolinux.cfg inside of the isolinux directory to syslinux.cfg as well as renaming the folder isolinux to syslinux.
[125013760050] |The install is simple enough I don’t have to tell you that.
[125013760060] |I let the installer have it’s way with the 4GB solid state disk soldered into this netbook.
[125013760070] |But why does une require 4GB of space for netbooks ?
[125013760080] |Well, it turns out that shotwell had not managed to replace f-spot as of yet and tomboy is still being used by mono as well even though gnote exists along with the countless other “note” taking applications.
[125013760090] |So many applications installed by default, needless to say I freed up over 1.4GB of space by removing lots and lots of unneeded applications.
[125013760100] |I’m using web apps for most of the tasks, using chrome (open source version) but midori would probably be just as good and I probably will switch.
[125013760110] |Turns out there are plenty of web im apps and they work with the webcam &mic just perfect so no need for wasted space on chat applications of any kind.
[125013760120] |It’s called a netbook for a reason.
[125013760130] |And the net is very good at the moment with a plethora of applications for the using.
[125013760140] |But wow the user interface is really awesome (kudos on that canonical &tm.).
[125013760150] |The only problem I’ve had is wanting to add weblinks to my ‘favorites’.
[125013760160] |And I did have to fool around a bit to make a favorite so that nautilus opened to a certain directory on an extra 16GB SD card.
[125013760170] |I’ve not modified the desktop to make any change as it’s easy enough but it could be simplified even more.
[125013760180] |From my end-user view if revenue is of interest to whomever (and it is) maybe offer up more web services and not charge for apps but for the services ie office, chat, email, server usage for downloading apps rather then charging for apps.
[125013760190] |Making the une much lighter as a result and freeing up space for, ahem, people’s FILES you know pictures, documents, music etc..

[125013770020] |The ext3 or third extended filesystem is a journaled file system that is commonly used by the Linux kernel.
[125013770030] |It is the default file system for many popular Linux distributions.
[125013770040] |The ext4 or fourth extended filesystem is a journaling file system for Linux, developed as the successor to ext3.
[125013770050] |It was born as a series of backward compatible extensions to remove 64-bit storage limits and add other performance improvements to ext3.However, other Linux kernel developers opposed accepting extensions to ext3 for stability reasons and proposed to fork the source code of ext3, rename it as ext4, and do all the development there, without affecting the current ext3 users
[125013770060] |<strong>Ext2Read</strong> is an explorer like utility to explore ext2/ext3/ext4 files.
[125013770070] |It now supports LVM2 and EXT4 extents.
[125013770080] |It can be used to view and copy files and folders.
[125013770090] |It can recursively copy entire folders.
[125013770100] |It can also be used to view and copy disk and file
[125013770110] |You can download Ext2Read from <a>here</a>
[125013770120] |<strong>Screenshot</strong>
[125013770130] |<strong>Ext2Fsd</strong> is an ext2 file system driver for Windows 2000, XP, Vista.
[125013770140] |It’s a free software and everyone can distribute and modify it under GPL2.
[125013770150] |<strong>Procedure o follow </strong>
[125013770160] |Important Note:- When creating/formatting the ext4 filesystem, make sure to add “-O ^extent” which means disabling the “extent” feature bit.
[125013770170] |The following steps will not work if your ext4 filesystem still has “extent” feature enabled. ext2 and ext3 partitions should be fine.
[125013770180] |First Download ext2fsd from <a>here</a>
[125013770190] |Right-click the downloaded file and click Properties.
[125013770200] |Set the compatibility mode to “Windows Vista Service Pack 2? and check “Run as administrator”.
[125013770210] |Run the ext2fsd installer.
[125013770220] |During install, we recommend you uncheck the “enable write access” feature to safeguard against losing data in your Linux partitions.
[125013770230] |Restart your Windows 7 PC and run the Ext2 Volume Manager from Start Menu.
[125013770240] |<strong>Important Note:- Use these tools with your own risk if you don’t use them properly it will remove your linux partition data</strong>

[125013820010] |<title>Pinguy OS 10.04.1.2 released and Review included</title>
[125013820020] |A couple of months ago I released Pinguy OS and posted about it <a>here</a>.Since then it has had many improvements and bug fixes, so if you had any problems with it before they should now be fixed.
[125013820030] |Pinguy OS an out-of-the-box working operating system for everyone, not just geeks <img/>
[125013820040] |This OS is for people that have never used Linux before or for people that just want an out-of-the-box working OS without doing all the tweaks and enhancements that everyone seems to do when installing a fresh copy of Ubuntu or other Linux based Distro’s.
[125013820050] |<strong>What Is Pinguy OS? </strong>
[125013820060] |Ubuntu is a great OS and undoubtedly the most popular and easiest Linux based Distro to use but even with its default setup and chosen programs it’s still lacking functionality and ease of use for most new users.
[125013820070] |So what I decided to do was build a Distro that looks good, could do everything most user would ever want to do and that was very simple to use.
[125013820080] |I started out by listening to what my friends and family wanted to use their PC for and found the most user friendly programs for the task they wanted to do.
[125013820090] |After a while I got a good idea what most people use their PC for and what programs where the easiest to use.
[125013820100] |Like using Shotwell for easily uploading images to Facebook, gtkpod for putting music, photos and video on a ipod/iphone and mvPod for converting the video to a iPod friendly format.
[125013820110] |So all the programs in Pinguy OS have been chosen because of there ease of use and functionality, I also changed every file type to open with the right program, like for some reason by default .iso are opened with Archive Manager so I changed that to Brasero Disc Burner.
[125013820120] |As I already said apart from it being easy to use I also wanted it to be a very good looking operating system.
[125013820130] |There are now a lot of programs out there for Linux to give the OS a very smart and polished implementation, like <a>CoverGloobus</a>, <a>Gloobus Preview</a>, <a>GNOME Do</a>, and <a>Docky</a>.
[125013820140] |These programs don’t just give the OS a good look and feel but they are also very useful and handy.
[125013820150] |Pinguy OS is just an optimise build of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS <a>Minimal CD</a> with added repositories, tweaks and enhancements that can run as a Live DVD or be installed.
[125013820160] |It has all the added packages needed for video, music and web content e.g. <a>flash and java</a>, plus a few fixes as well.
[125013820170] |Like fixing the wireless problems, gwibber’s Facebook problem and flash videos in full-screen.
[125013820180] |Everything is set-up for samba, all you need to do is right click a folder you want to share and add a password in samba using system-config-samba.
[125013820190] |It also has a UPnP/DLNA server (pms-linux) so you can share your music, video’s etc.
[125013820200] |With a PS3, XBOX 360, Smart Phones or any other UPnP/DLNA media reader.
[125013820210] |Nautilus has been replaced for <a>Elementary-Nautilus</a> with added <a>plug-ins</a> so it can get <a>music</a> and <a>video</a> art from the web.
[125013820220] |The default theme is <a>Elementary</a> using <a>ttf-droid</a> font with <a>Docky</a> and a custom <a>Conky</a>.
[125013820230] |<strong>Here’s Some Screenshots: </strong>
[125013820240] |I have added DVB support to Totem for anyone with a TV card that wants to watch tv on their PC but don’t want to install a dedicated program like myth-tv.
[125013820250] |<strong>Why Make Pinguy OS? </strong>
[125013820260] |I know what I am doing is not going to appeal to everyone, and a lot of people are not going to like the idea of me using Ubuntu instead of building my own base, even though Ubuntu uses Debian.
[125013820270] |I do have a set of goals for Pinguy OS that I am going to keep too.
[125013820280] |The problem is if you loose track of your goals and try to keep everyone happy the Distro will fall apart very quickly.
[125013820290] |There maybe a few programs on there that may seem out of place like PMS-Linux, but this will be a must have program pretty soon because its a UPnP/DLNA server, and lot of people are getting entertainment systems that use UPnP/DLNA to stream music/video.
[125013820300] |Nearly everything that is coming out has the ability to access a UPnP/DLNA server.
[125013820310] |So this is something I thought the Distro should have.
[125013820320] |I was going to use Mediatomb but after testing it on a few people they really struggled to get it working that’s why I ended up with PMS-Linux.
[125013820330] |What I would like for this Distro is for everyone to be able to install it and use it straight away with little or no knowledge about Linux or computers.
[125013820340] |But I don’t want to make it so simplistic that it becomes un-usable for more complex tasks that a more experienced user would want to do.
[125013820350] |There doesn’t seem to be a Distro out there that’s setup and ready to use with the minimal amount of needed programs.
[125013820360] |The Distro’s I have seen that go over 700MB seem to try and fill a 4.7GB DVD.
[125013820370] |The problem with this is they fill it with way to many programs that most users are never going to use, and the programs are usually poorly chosen because they just don’t have the time to test and try other ones.
[125013820380] |Also I see some of these Distro’s install KDE and Gnome together.
[125013820390] |I have never understood the reasoning behind anyone using more then one desktop on the same Distro.
[125013820400] |Then there are the Distros that just don’t add enough because they have to keep it under 700MB.
[125013820410] |These Distro just feel unfinished, they are lacking so much functionality out of the box, they look dowdy and stale compared to a more modern operating system and can’t even share files on your network because most of the time Samba has been left out.
[125013820420] |I have never understood why any one would release a Distro that looks worse then XP and could do less out of the box.
[125013820430] |<strong>Pinguy OS Goals</strong>
[125013820440] |The goal is to have an out-of-the-box working operating system with intelligent chosen programs that all work and are easy to use.
[125013820450] |I don’t want it to have every program under the sun like Ultimate Edition does, I just want a few well built programs for tasks that most people do.
[125013820460] |I don’t want to many programs on there that can do the same task.
[125013820470] |Most people buy their PC/Laptops with the OS installed and preconfigured.
[125013820480] |Not many people install their OS their self and the ones that try usually haven’t got a clue what to do afterwards.
[125013820490] |What I am trying to do is to have a operating system that works and acts like a preconfigured OS like the ones you get when buying a new PC. that’s also very easy to be installed.
[125013820500] |<strong>32-Bit or 64-Bit? </strong>
[125013820510] |If you have a 64-Bit processor you should go with the 64-Bit version of the OS, unless you have a technical or business reasons for not migrating to 64-bit Linux with compatible hardware, there is no reason to stick around with a 32-bit.
[125013820520] |The main reason for going with 64-bit is because it’s <a>faster then 32-bit on the same hardware</a> and there aren’t many programs now that don’t run on 64-bit.
[125013820530] |<strong>The following processors support 64-Bit:</strong>
[125013820540] |<li>AMD 64-Bit processors ( Athlon 64, Opteron, later Sempron, Turion 64, Phenom, Athlon II and Phenom II processors)</li>
[125013820550] |<li>Intel 64-Bit processors (Celeron D, later Pentium 4, Pentium D, later Xeon, Core 2 (not Core Duo), Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, and Atom processors)</li> 
[125013820560] |There maybe more so please check to see if your processor is compatible.
[125013820570] |If you have any doubts or are not sure if you have a 64-Bit processor go with the 32-Bit version as this will work on both 32 and 64-Bit processors.
[125013820580] |<strong>Recommended minimum requirements</strong>
[125013820590] |Pinguy OS should run reasonably well on a computer with the following minimum hardware specification.
[125013820600] |However, features such as visual effects may not run smoothly.
[125013820610] |<li>700 MHz x86 processor</li>
[125013820620] |<li>384 MB of system memory (RAM)</li>
[125013820630] |<li>8 GB of disk space</li>
[125013820640] |<li>Graphics card capable of 1024×768 resolution</li>
[125013820650] |<li><em>Sound card</em></li>
[125013820660] |<li><em>A network or Internet connection</em></li> 
[125013820670] |<strong>Recommended for visual effects</strong>
[125013820680] |<em>Visual effects</em> provide various special graphical effects for your desktop to make it look and feel more fun and easier to use.
[125013820690] |If your computer is not powerful enough to run visual effects, you can turn them off and will still have a usable Pinguy OS desktop.
[125013820700] |Visual effects are turned on by default if you have a graphics card which is supported.
[125013820710] |For information on supported graphics cards, see <a>DesktopEffects</a>.
[125013820720] |<li>1.2 GHz x86 processor</li>

[125013830020] |Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. Java applications are compiled to bytecode, which at runtime is either interpreted or compiled to native machine code for execution.
[125013830030] |The language itself derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities.
[125013830040] |JavaScript, a scripting language, shares a similar name and has similar syntax, but is not directly related to Java. 
[125013830050] |<strong>Install java in ubuntu 10.10</strong>

[125013850020] |Synaptic is a graphical user interface (GUI) for managing software packages on Debian-based distributions.
[125013850030] |If you are using Debian or Ubuntu you will easily find Synaptic in the System Tools menu or in the Administration menu.
[125013850040] |Synaptic uses the GTK graphic libraries .
[125013850050] |So, if you are using GNOME on your debian-based distro you will probably have Synaptic installed as well.
[125013850060] |Synaptic is a graphical package management program for apt.
[125013850070] |It provides the same features as the apt-get command line utility with a GUI front-end based on Gtk+.
