What is Linux?

Linux is an operating system that is now gaining popularity and competing against the Operating System giant, Microsoft. In 1993, a student in Finland, Linus Torralds, created Linux. Both home PCs as well as network Computers need an Operating System to function. Both home users and companies spend millions of dollars in purching these operating systems such as Microsoft Windows or Unix. How nice it will be if we can get a free Operating System. Well, Linux is a free open source Operating System that anybody, home user or companies can download and use it freely.

Linux is based on the Unix operating system. Linux solves all your needs. You can linux in a single computer or in a networked enviroment where there are thousands of computers.
But home users still have many doubts and questions about Linux. In this section we will see some of the frequently asked questions about linux.

There are many advertisements selling Linux. Isn't Linux Free?

Linux is totally FREE. You can download Linux from Internet. But if your internet connection is slow, then it may take several hours or even days to download linux and its related applications using your dial-up connection. Just calculate the phone charges and the internet connection charges for this time. If you have a high speed broadband then you will find no problem to download linux from the internet directly.

But to solve the issue for 'dial-up' users many companies download linux and copy it into CDs and sell them. The cost of the CD disk, the cost for sending the CD to your house, and for the service they provide, these companies may charge a meagre amount for the Linux CD. But if you directly download from Internet, it is totally free.

What is Redhat, SuSe?

These are names of companies that market and sell Linux. The heart of the Linux OS is its Kernel. These companies add many utilities and applications based on this kernel and sell it. There are many such companies such as RedHat, Mandrake, Debian, SuSe etc. The linux offered by these companies are called Linux Distributions or simply 'Distros'. The Kernel in all these Distros will be the same. But the utilities and applications may be different in different distros.

Can I copy the linux CD from my friend and install it in my computer?

By all means, Yes. You can make as many copies of the Linux CD of your friend. It is legal.

Is it very difficult to use Linux?

If you learn and know the linux commands then it is easy to operate your computer. The Character User Interface in Linux requires you to know and remember the commands. But using the 'Graphical User Interface' of Linux, anybody can use Linux without the need to learn and remember the commands. You can use desktop environments such as 'Gnome' or 'Kde' to get the graphical user interface. This GUI environment will be similar to the Windows environment.

Do all hardware work with Linux?

Some old hardware may not work with linux. But all the recent and new hardware works well in linux. A common hardware problem is with the 'winmodem'. If you are using this type of internal winmodem, then you may have to buy the latest modem.

Are there applications for Linux? Are they free?

There are plenty of applications for linux. Most of them are free. Open Office, GIMP, Real Player, MTV, Doom are some examples.

I do not want to stop using Windows. Can I still use Linux?

Yes you can. This is called Dual booting or Multibooting. You can install linux in a separate partition. Whenever you boot, you can select whether you want to boot from windows or linux.

What is Multibooting?

10:00 PM | Computer Information , computer tricks , Linux , Systems Software , windows

Multibooting is the ability to install and use more than one Operating System in the same computer.

Generally most of us use just one operating system in our computers such as Windows or Linux. But there are people who install and use more than one operating systems in their computers. Some of the people who do this are:

Computer students
Computer teachers
Programmers and developers who would like to test, how their application will behave in different operating systems
Testers

Such users who have installed more than one operating systems in their computers will see a menu with a list of operating systems that they have installed. They can choose the operating system with which they want to boot from the list. Likewise they have switch between different OS by rebooting and selecting the OS. This is called multibooting.

How to install more than one Operating Systems in one computer?

1. Disk Partitioning

If your computer has two hard disks and they are not partitioned then you can two different Operating Systems on each of this hard disks. If you have only one hard disk and it is partitioned then you can install different OS on each of these partitions. Each OS needs to have a separate partition.

You can use FDISK to partition the harddisk in windows. This is not an easy tool to use. While partitioning, the data in the harddisk will be lost. Therefore you need to backup the data before partitioning.

If you are not so sure about using this command, there are other more user friendly applications available for partitioning. 'Nortan Partition Magic' is one such tool. You can get this tool, This is not a free tool. 'Ranish partition manager' is a free tool but it is a bit difficult to use.

If you like to use windows and linux in your computer, then install Windows first and partition your hard disk and then install Linux in the other partition.

2. Virtual Machine (VM)

Those who want to use multiple OS in their computers can use Virtual Machines. VM is now very popular. By the use of software, VM creates a Virtual environment for different OS. You have installed many applications in your computer. VM is another application. To switch between one OS to another, run the VM application first and then switch to the other OS. Then the VM will generate a virtual environment for the other OS. The other OS will then think that it is using the computer entirely by itself.

Using the Multibooting method only one OS can be run at a time. The selection is done while booting.

Using VM, more than one OS can run simultaneously. Each OS will run without knowing the existence of the other OS. But this will reduce the computer speed and performance. Some of the popular VM are Microsoft Virtual PC (www.microsoft.com) and VMware Workstation (www.vmware.com)

3. Emulators

Sometimes you may not need the full fledged OS. But you may want to use a specific feature of an OS. For instance you may not want the full 'Linux' OS but you want the base shell of Linux to run linux based applications on your computer.

In Windows, you may want to see the look and feel of 'Linux' and you want to run 'Linux' commands on the windows OS. For this there are emulators available for different OS.

For example, you can use Cygwin which is a free tool to emulate the Unix OS under windows. You can download this tool from (www.cygwin.com).

Tutorial to Hide visited websites from others

9:48 PM | Computer Information , computer tricks , Internet , laptop , Software , Systems Software , windows

We search for lots of information on the internet. But it is not necessary that others know about this. Whenever you visit any website this information is captured and stored in your computer in the form of 'cache', 'cookie', 'history', and 'windows registry'. There is a danger due to this. Whoever uses the same computer after you have used can find out which websites you have been visiting. If you have a personal computer that no one else will ever use, then you don't have to worry much about this. But if your home or office computer is shared then you better clear this history. In this tutorial let us see how to completely remove the recently visited websites from your computer.

Cache Folder

Every time you visit a website, every browser has the functionality to store the images, websites, urls etc in your hard disk somewhere in the temporary folders. This is useful to save bandwidth. When you visit the same website again, instead of downloading all the images again, the browser will retrieve them from the temporary folders from your hard disks and therefore increasing the speed and saving internet bandwidth. So when you finish browsing you can clear these temporary folders. This temporary folder is usually referred to as Cache. The exact location of this folder will differ based on the browser you are using. For instance if you use Internet explorer then this cache is located in the 'Temporary Internet Files' folder under your c:\Windows folder.
You can either delete from this folder or you can delete it from your browser. Goto Tools-> Internet Options. Under the General tab click 'Delete Files' button.
History

All the browsers also store the urls of every website you visit. This is used to show the address of the site on the 'Address Bar' when you start typing the first few letters of the websited address, the browser will take from the history and prompt you for the full address. This makes your job easier so that you need not type the full address every time. But if you want to hide the sites you visit then you have to remove this history also. Internet explorer stores this history in a folder called 'History' under c:\Windows folder.

Or you can delete history from your browser. Goto Tools-> Internet OPtions. Select the 'General' tab and click on 'Clear History' button. In the confirmation dialog box select 'OK'. This will clear your history.
Cookies

Whenever you visit websites, some information about you and some information about that website is stored in your computer's hard disk. When you visit the same site again, the information stored in this cookie file will be read to identify you. This is especially useful for sites that can personlize the site for you and displays messages such as 'welcome your_name' etc. But this cookie also stores the name of the site you visit so you should also delete these cookies if you want to hide the sites you visited.

To delete cookies, goto Tools->Internet Options. And click on 'Delete Cookies' button. Or you can choose the security tab and click on 'Custom Level' button to disable or enable cookies.
Registry

Another place in which the websites you visited are stored is the windows registry. It is not advisible to modify registries if you are not sure how to use them. Only those who are confident and willing to take risk should touch the registry. Click on 'Start->Run' and type 'regedit' and press enter. The windows registry will open. Now click on 'Edit->find' and type 'URL History'. In the right hand side you can see a list of website addresses that you visited. You can select them one by one and delete them. programs, viruses and hackers.

Different types of Internet connection and their advantages and disadvantages.

9:13 PM | Computer Information , Internet

Which Internet Connection plan to choose?

Internet has become part and parcel of our lives. Not only for individuals but even for a country's economic growth, scientific growth, organizations' success, Internet is very essential. The companies that offer these internet connections are called ISPs (Internet Service Providers). These ISPs offer many different internet connection plans. How to select the best connection plan for home use or for offices? The following tips will give you an overview of different types of internet connections, their advantages and disadvantages.

PSTN Dialup

Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) dialup uses your phone connection to connect your computer to the internet. You need a modem, phone line and a computer for a PSTN dial up connection.

Advantages of PSTN dial up

This is the basic internet connection and all the ISPs provide this type of dial up.
To install PSTN dialup and to use it is very cheap and affordable.

Disadvantages of PSTN dial up

The speed of a typical PSTN modem is 56KBPS. Therefore the speed of the internet connection will be slower than this.
During the time you are connected to the internet, you have to pay the telephone charges.
While you are connected to the internet you cannot use your telephone to call anyone because you are using that phone line for connecting to the internet. You also will not receive any calls from outside during this time.

ISDN dialup

Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) dialup uses a higher end digital telephone line to dial up. To use this type of connection you need ISDN telephone line, computer and a 'Terminal Adapter'.

Advantages of an ISDN dialup

While you are connected to internet using ISDN dialup connection you can use your ISDN phone to make phone calls simultaneously.
When you are making phone calls while connected to the internet then the speed of internet will be 64KBPS.
If you are using the ISDN phone line just for internet then the speed of internet will be 128KBPS.

Disadvantages of ISDN dialup

Not every place has ISDN connection.
Even if your place has this facility, it is expensive to get an ISDN dialup connection from your ISP.
Not all the ISPs provide ISDN dialup plan.

Leased Line Internet Plan

In both ISDN dialup and PSTN dialup you need to dial up from your computer before getting connected to the internet. And you close this connection when you no longer need internet connection. If you need a continuous connection 24 hours of the day and 7 days a week then you need a 'Leased Line' also known as 'dedicated line'. This type of permanent connection is called 'Always On'.

Advantages of Leased Line

You get 'Always on' connection 24 hours every day.
The speed of the internet ranges from 2.4 KBPS to 2G based on your subscription.

Disadvantages of Leased Line

The disadvantages of a leased line is that it is very expensive.
Since your computer is always connected to the internet your computer is exposed to many vulnerabilities such as viruses and spywares. So you may need to secure your computer using firewall and Antivirus software

DSL

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) also uses a normal PSTN phone line. But using DSL you can use both internet and phone simultaneously. Therefore many prefer DSL to PSTN dial up.

Advantages of DSL

The speed of DSL connection is fast. 64 KBPS, 512 KBPS, 1.5MBPS and higher speed can be achieved in DSL connections.
DSL also provides 'Always On' connection 24 hours a day always.
You can also use your phone while using internet

Disadvantages of DSL

More expensive
You need an ADSL modem to connect but the distance between this modem and your computer cannot be more than 18,000 feet.

Why Multiple Domain Hosting is Recommended?

9:42 PM | DNS , Domain , Hosting , Internet , JMD Infotech India , Linux , Software , Web Developing , windows

In the web hosting industry today, getting a website is very easy because the prices of domain names are getting cheaper. Once you choose a particular web provider, they will provide you almost everything making you ready to launch your website in a short time. However, there are companies out there that only allow you to register a single domain. For those who only want to create one website, this won't affect them but for those who aim to have more than one, that company will not be their choice. If you want to have another website, you will have to get multiple hosting accounts and this will definitely cost a lot.

However, in the industry today, solutions to that problem have arisen. Companies now provide you the power to manage everything under one account. With the ability to have multiple domains, you can decide what site you want to create. In other word, you can have one website for your blog, one for your online shop and so on. The best thing is you can relate those sites with your chosen domain names.With your multiple domain accounts, you also get email addresses, FTP accounts, database, sub-directories attach to each domain. Most companies will provide this and even provide you with control panel application that enables you to set up your domain with ease. All you have to do is access the add-on and fill out the application like filling out a form. With providers like GoDaddy, you are able to purchase multiple domain accounts at an affordable price and then register it with your web host.

How much do you have to pay for it? In today's web hosting market, you can easily get one for less that $10 per month. The question actually lies in what sort of business you are doing and the scale of your business. With that price, you can get enough features to support you in creating your ideal website. However, you must still find a hosting company (personally I recommend Bluehost) that provides reliability in its service.

In conclusion, having multiple domain names is a very good way to expand you business. It also increases your chances to make profit in your business with more exposure that you get by having more than one website. You get to save money and increase your profit at the same time. That is killing two birds with one stone.

How to Save Money on Domain Hosting and Website Cost

9:35 PM | DNS , Domain , Hosting , Internet , JMD Infotech India , laptop , Linux , Software , Web Developing , windows

In many instances, when people think about having an affordable custom website designed, they forget about the cost of domain registrations, and of monthly hosting charges, but, unlike web design, which is a one time investment, domain registrations are annual, and hosting costs are monthly, so shopping around is important!

Here are a few key points to remember when looking for web hosting for your affordable business website:

• Different domain name extensions, for example .com, .net, .biz and others are priced at different rates.

• This means that not only might you be able to get your chosen name, albeit with a slightly different extension, but by opting for anything other than a .com, you might pay less for it too. Even though you may save a couple of dollars by choosing a less common extension, most people remember .com.

• Most large web domain registrars and hosting companies offer package deals from time to time that include a small amount of hosting space, and perhaps a single pop3 email account.

• While these types of packages may be a good idea for a very small starter site, if you are planning a site with graphics, photos, tables or other features, chances are you will need to opt for a separate hosting package.

• Another good idea, particularly if you will be having staff working for you, or plan to, is to sign up for more email addresses, which will help you sort through emails.

• Speak to the web designer you have chosen for the your affordable custom web design project, and find out how much space they recommend you opt for, based on your website plan, and then you'll need to address bandwidth, which will determine how much traffic your site can handle! There's no point in having a great site, that's well marketed, and receives a lot of traffic, only to find you don't have the bandwidth to support it!

• Check that the hosting package you choose has an FTP upload portal, which will make uploading your site, an updating it later on, much easier.

• Shop around for the best packages, and try considering smaller companies as well as larger ones, like godaddy.com, or yahoo.com.

Getting a professional, affordable custom website is entirely possible, although, you will need to take all factors into account. High domain registration charges, or monthly hosting costs, can add up, and may even end up costing you more than the web design cost itself!

If you are using a web designer, ask them to include the cost of domain registration and hosting, if they offer it, in your quote, as a separate item. You may find that it is easier, and possibly cheaper, to use their services, but if not, it gives you the option to shop around.

So remember, when planning an affordable custom website for your business, that design is not the only cost issue you will need to take into account. Make sure you get the best domain registration and web hosting package, that offers adequate space and bandwidth, along with email accounts, if necessary, and save all round!

What You Need to Know About Domain Name Registration and Web Hosting

9:22 PM | DNS , Domain , Hosting , Internet , JMD Infotech India , Linux , Web Developing , windows

When you are setting up a website for the first time, in addition to having it hosted on the web by a web hosting company, you need to have your domain name registered so you have an actual address on the Internet and you can make sure that your website's name is secure. While there are separate services that will do domain name registration, if you are just setting up your website and are shopping around for web hosting companies, chances are you can find a hosting package that includes domain name registration along with the hosting costs.

There are domain web hosting plans that include hosting, domain registration along with other tools for designing your website. This is especially a good plan to go with if you have a personal or small business website and you want to get it up on the Internet with as little fuss and bother as possible. This includes the fees for all of this in one easy payment structure rather than having to pay a separate fee for each service. Some web hosting companies that offer hosting for as little as $20 and many will offer you a substantial discount if you offer to pay for a year's worth of service in advance. That is something to keep in mind as you budget for your website.

Another advantage to hosting is that it usually offers many features that may be important to you or your small business. These can include maintenance tools and tools for managing storage and bandwidth. If you are running an e-commerce website, you are bound to be running a software program that is managing all your transactions and keeping your records straight. A hosting plan can make sure you have access to all of the tools you need in order for your website to be successful, whether it is just a personal website or a large scale website for business purposes.

Web hosting provides you with everything you need to get started and to continue having a presence on the web. While the use of the features is up to you as an individual, you should allow for some flexibility in terms of storage space because you want there to be room for your website to grow as your small business grows.

It's a solution that thousands are turning to for their web hosting needs.

Web Hosting Features & Services

9:08 PM | DNS , Domain , Hosting , Internet , JMD Infotech India , Web Developing

With many different possibilities of web hosting companies on the internet, which one should you choose? The best way to choose is to analyze what type of features and services they offer. Knowing what some of these features and services are will help you narrow down your decision.

Disc Space
Disc Space, the more the better right? Not exactly having a lot of disc space is wonderful, but not necessary. A normal website might use 50 MB and a large website could use 2 GB. It really matters on how many pages and what type of multimedia files you are. Images, movies and flash application could take lots of disc space. Website page files don't take hardly any space. Try to think of what you might need to your website; remember to think down the road. Find a web hosting company that can provide you with a desired space and a reasonable price. Don't pay extra for space you don't need. There are lots of shared hosting companies that offer unlimited disc space. If you are looking into a dedicated server, this can be expensive. On a dedicated server you will pay for different amounts of disc space.

Bandwidth
How much traffic are you going to have a month? Lots, little, not sure? When looking for a web hosting plan watch for how much data you can transfer in a month. This could get very expensive if you go over the quota. A regular website won't have any problem going over the bandwidth quota. But keep in mind if your website expands. If your website has 20,000 unique visitors a month, you're going to need a large amount of bandwidth and could be costly. What type of multimedia files are you doing to have? If your website has lots of pictures, movies and/or flash, you could be using lots of bandwidth to stream.

Domain Names
Most web hosting companies will give you a free domain name if you sign up for their service. The trick here is to see how many domain names you can host on one account. Maybe you have a main webpage, but you want to have smaller branches that will require a unique domain name. Some web hosting companies will limit how many domain names you can host on one account. I think unlimited is a good number. I don't see why they should limit you to how many websites you can have on your account. If you have the disk space and the bandwidth, then there shouldn't be a problem. There are a couple of companies that will offer a Free Domain Name for Life. A domain name for life is that the hosting company will pay the renew fee for your domain when you are using their service. Web hosting features to look for in the domain department is add-on domains, parked domains and sub domains. These different domain names will help you keep things organized and could help with usability.

Email Accounts
Your own email account from your website can look very professional. Web hosting companies will have an easy way to create and access them. But how many can you have and how much space will they allow for them? Do a quick look at how many email accounts you can have and how much space they will allow.

MySQL
If you are planning to have databases, ecommerce store or a content management system you will most likely need MySQL. Double check the company will support it and the web language you will be working with. Most companies will put a number of databases you can have on your web hosting account.

Extra Features
Everyone likes extras, right? See what else the hosting company can offer you. Maybe your website wants a photo gallery, blog, discussion board, shopping cart, or connections to third party companies. This could be valuable source. Not only for cost, but also time. These web applications are easy and quick. If you don't have a strong web development background, this would be something to look into.

Support
Check their support options. See what hours they are available and how you can contact them. They should offer phone service and email service. Usually they will also have a live chat that can get you in and out. Web hosting support can be a headache of a lifesaver. If something goes down on your server or you mess something up. Getting quick and knowledgeable support can be priceless.

Domain Names and Web Hosting - Basics You Must Know

8:30 PM | Domain , Hosting , Internet , Web Developing

Internet address... Domain name... www dot something... There are probably no words in today's everyday life that are used more often that these. Internet has entered each and every aspect of our lives and is considered to be one of the biggest inventions of all times.

Still, how many people really understand the value of domain name; that part of internet address that follows www? Better yet, how many people HAVE Internet address with their own domain name? Do people realize that their domain name might be the biggest asset they actually have?

If you run a business, it's no news anymore that having an Internet address for customers to find you is an imperative. Having an Internet address with the business related domain name is almost necessary for online success. It's your ID in the online world.

And then there are personal web pages i.e. Internet addresses. With continuous growth of Internet, more and more people start their own personal web pages to share their personal interests, hobbies etc. They simply wish to mark their presence on the Internet and to do that easily they tend to personalize their domains.

The most common way of getting your own domain name is by getting it from a free web hosting provider. However, the risk of doing that is far greater than people think. What it comes down to is that you simply DO NOT OWN your web site / Internet address / domain name. In other words, if that free web hosting provider runs out of business, you LOSE EVERYTHING. Another big obstacle when choosing your own domain name is the fact that most of the TLDs names (top level domains such as .com, .org and .biz) are already taken.

Luckily, there's an alternative...
For almost a decade now, people are using the benefits of being a .ws domain owners. By registering with GDI (Global Domains International), one of the fastest growing INC 500 companies today, you get to see the true meaning of "value for money" principle. For $ 10,- per month you get to chose your own domain name, but more importantly - you get to OWN it, as well as your 10 pages web site, 10 email addresses, a web site builder and an email forwarding service.

If this still doesn't seam good enough to you, GDI offers all the above as an actual product for you to pass on i.e. to sell to other people as a GDI Affiliate. Should you choose that, there's an outstanding ongoing support system in place and incredible 5 levels affiliate commissions program. So, you have a safe and professional web hosting package on one side and a highly demanded product / service to earn from, on the other. If you're familiar with Affiliate business at all, you'll recognize the power of promoting a highly demanded product that requires no warehousing, but is instantly delivered.

All in all, with Internet being everybody's business today, GDI and its .ws are turning into and therefore rightfully being called A NEW .COM BOOM and the most reliable MLM system today.
So, do you have your own .Com domain yet?

Hard Disk Drive Video Players Hit The Mainstream

Introduction

External storage with DivX, XVid and DVD output.

DVD players can be found in almost every living room today, having long ago replaced VHS VCRs. Many of these players can even play back files encoded in DivX and MP3. But there's a big catch to using these formats, too: you have to squeeze the files onto a blank DVD so that you can stick them in the standalone player. And that in turn means that you have to have your own DVD burner and lots of blank DVDs.

One new alternative is the use of hard disk drive (HDD) players that are based on a 2.5" or 3.5" IDE (ATA) hard drive. These video players dispense completely with optical media; the files are transferred via USB 2.0 to the installed hard drive and played from it directly. The copy process takes about a minute per gigabyte; the files are then played back directly from the disk of the HDD player with the same ease as using DVD players, and of course, with the convenience of a remote control.

HDD players support a wide range of video and audio compression methods. Among the best-known are DivX, xVid and MP3. Unlike MPEG-2 (DVD), DivX-coded files are considerably smaller and thus take up less room. Thanks to constantly improving video code compression algorithms, DivX and the others are more than a match for their DVD counterparts. The latest functions of the DivX codec now even support menus and chapter selection, similar to what we're used to with DVDs. Unfortunately these menus are (still) not supported by the players. Thus, if you want to continue to use this convenience, you will have to switch to the DVD structure. The video_TS directory familiar to us from the DVD medium is accepted by HDD players. All functions such as chapters, subtitles, alternative languages or camera angles can be used just as with a standalone DVD player. It is only a matter of time until the boxes support these DivX codex functions, probably via a firmware update.

Players will refuse to play protected MP3 files downloaded from the Internet, such as I-Tunes files. The same goes for video download portals that offer DVD or AVI files. Files protected with digital rights management (DRM) always need online access, which HDD players don't have. Only after you get a release code can the DRM file be played back, for example on Microsoft Media Player. This received code, however, only applies to that one computer and cannot be transferred to the HDD player or any other computer.

Our three test candidates have gigantic amounts of storage. With a 500 GB hard drive, you could store roughly 10,000 minutes of video in MPEG-2. With DivX-compressed video files, that would in theory mean 60,000 minutes or almost 1,000 hours of video! Sounds great, doesn't it? And you don't have to cut any corners on quality. In the case of MP3 music files, that storage would amount to a guaranteed 3 months of uninterrupted playback!
