How TO install Linux OS

Installing Linux is not a difficult job yet it requires some basic level knowwledge about computers and Linux.Once the computer satisfies all the hardware and the software requirements,the installation program can eventually start.
Mostly,you simply follow the instructions,scene by scene.You have to answer either yes or no(most cases) for most queries.Now lets see the hardware requirements

Hardware Requirements(minimal)

1. A 32-bit intel based or a compatible PC
2. A minimum 64MB RAM (few linux distros can run in 12 mb RAM )
3. A 2GB free hard disk space is suitable for most distros for standard installation.
4. Swap space is usually twice or same as that of RAM memory,that is,1GB swap space is allotted for 512 MB RAM.
5. CD-ROM drive and a 3 ½ floppy drive.(floppy drive is optional)

Other Requirements:

Installing Linux

Linux distro comes in the form of CD/DVDs.They are mostly bootable.So,after inserting the CD/DVD,the system has to be restarted. The system must be enabled to boot from CD.If not,check ur BIOS settings and correct it accordingly.

You can install linux either in GUI or in text mode..The first step is to select partitions.These two partitions must be created i) / partition ii) swap partition
You can also create partitions like /home, /var etc..Another partition, /boot is usually created when / and swap partitions are created.You can create partitions even after installation but mainly these two partitions has to be created first.

Next comes the bootloader configuration screen.Here,the bootloader to be used is selected.You can also use the existing bootloader if u have multiple OS in ur system.
The most widely used bootloader for linux is GRUB bootloader.Then the required softwares has to be selected for installation..Informations like your country,time ,username and password has to be filled in..Network configuration and keyboard language selections have to be done..A final screen would request for reboot to clear all the selections made.If you press next button,then system starts formatting the partitions and installs the linux OS and the selected applications.

How To surf the net in Linux

Nowadays,most of the Linux Distros comes with the inbuilt ethernet configuration utility..But still,if the ethernet is configured improperly,it can be reconfigured using the tools like rp-pppoe and adsl rspectively.

Rp-pppoe software can be downloaded from roaringpenguin website..It can be opened either using applications menu or by typing,

#rp-pppoe in command mode.

The GUI interface opens up..The first tab consists of connection name,username and password associated with it. The second tab consists of ethernet device used,that is,eth0 or eth1..etc.Then details like dynamic ip or static ip has to be provided..If static ip is used,then ip address ,gateway ip has to be provided.After completing all the fields,the dial button is to be pressed to start the internet connection..Thus the internet connection can be established.

How To prepare for exams

The word ‘exam’ shreds fear into the soul of school students(mostly not for college students) Many start worrying about exams but never prepares..Even if they do,they are short of confidence resulting in low scores..By planning,you can easily ans successfully score high marks..As far as my experience,I am providing few tips certainly useful during exam days..

1.Dont ask about your friends preparations..It might influence you and distract your concentration..

2.Assess your potentials,how long could you study in a day?? How long could you remember whatever you studied?? How many revisions you require to attend the exams confidently>??

3.Confidence is the key..Too much of it,will pull you down and if its too low,you never will feel complete.

4.After assessing your skills and potentials,prepare a chart or atleast plan about your preparations.

5. Dont sleep till you complete your studies..Keep in mind that lack of sleep will affect you while writing exam.

6. Keep in touch with your staffs..Utilise your staffs skills to the maximum.

7.Priortise your study schedule..A properly planned schedule will save valuable amount of time during exam days.

8.Write hints while studying about a topic.This might reduce ample time while revising.

9.Never try to study in one sitting..you will feel bored..Take a break of 5 mins, for every half hour..It will keep your mind fresh..Listen to music during the break.it will soothen your heart.

10.Last but not least,enjoy your studies.dont feel like it as a burden..The more you get involved,the better your scoring will be..

Guide to purchase a right laptop

As the demands for laptops keeps on increasing,the number of manufacturers does go up..Many fall for their vivid and eyecatching ads,ending uo with a garbage laptop.Let us review few considerations for a good laptop,Laptop,once purchased,cant be cheaply upgraded.So investing in a right laptop,matters a lot.

Motherboard-The most essential part of laptop..The user can choose between Intel orAMD based motherboards while there are dozen other manufacturers out there.Think about your nature of usage and facilities you require in ur laptop.Depending on it,choose the right one.

PROCESSOR-I suggest you to go for the one behind the latest available processors.This way,it costs cheaper and performs more than satisfaction.Intel and AMD provide better performance in its own reasons.

RAM and HARD DISK- Depending upon the choice of ur OS,choose the RAM capability..Do keep in mind if you are a serious gamer or video enthusiastic(you need more RAM dude)..2 GB will fulfill all your desires..The next issue is the storage memory..Why go for less storage when costs less?? A hard disk with 320 GB,preferably SATA,keeps your laptop on and on..Specialised users can opt 560GB..Kingston and Transcend are the popular RAM manufacturers and Seagate ranks high in hard disks manufacturing sectors.

GRAPHICS CARD- The other important visual component is this card.I recommend using nVIDIA as they provide better performance than rival Ati cards..You can feel the difference while playing games and in multimedia.A cost effective card will be Geforce 8600GS/GT from nVIDIA..Am just suggesting,u can select desired card from their websites.

LCD SCREEN
-Here comes the big debate..14’’?? 17”” 15.4”” or a 12’’ which screen fits better?? Its difficult to answer this question But..

14’’ must be most favourite one..Its the popular one too..It provides a blend of compactness and good resolution..Home users and students can use 14’’.

15.4’’,Hmm..I personally dislike it.Its too bulky and looks like a suitcase..But its cheap

12’’ looks sleek and you can marvel its design for ages..But the screen size is little small and hence may not please all the audience.But for an executive,it’s a must..Its really cool.

BATTERY
-Next on the checklist is the battery and heat sinking capabilities.A battery with long standby time easily wins the heart of everyone.But look out,the heat dissipation must be checked out.Too much of heat coming out from your laptop might discomfort you..This will reduce your usage time(even if standby time is longer)
So,I think I have submitted a few necessary and vital tips for purchasing a laptop..
……...Happy Computing…….

YELLOWDOG UPDATER MODIFIED (YUM)

Most of us would be familiar about RPM.The Redhat Package Manager installs the essential RPM files for LINUX OS distributions like RHEL,Redhat,Fedora,OpenSUSE..
But a more advanced version of installation manager is YUM.

The Yellow dog Updater, Modified (YUM) is a free software/open source command line package management utility for RPM-compatible Linux operating systems. It was developed by Seth Vidal and a group of volunteer programmers, and is currently maintained as part of Duke University's Linux@DUKE project.

Though yum is a command line utility, several other tools provide graphical user interfaces to yum, among them pup, pirut, and yumex. Seth Vidal now works for Red Hat and a number of other Red Hat programmers are involved in the development of yum.

Why YUM is gaining more popularity than RPM???
Any package to be installed is associated with different library files and .C files.(cant tell u all).If it is provided along with the distribution,then no worries..If not,it’s a hell a lot of time finding out all the dependant files…Trust me..

So to help us solve our worries,here comes YUM.,The best solution to install a package with all the necessary dependencies.
To configure YUM,
Createrepo command is used to create a repository.A repository contains many packages with complete dependencies(mostly).All it takes is to type a single command,after configuring YUM,

#yum install -y packagename

Everything gets installed..

Configuring YUM is still more easier if u download YUM configurations from websites like dag wieers and livna.org.They provide abundant packages..livna.org is mainly useful for Fedora users while dag wieers for Redhat,CentOS and RHEL..

Have a pleasant Day..
