Here we are going to give a shout out to good Mac and App reads to add your RSS reader and bookmarks list!
In a latest development, Canonical, the company that owns Ubuntu Linux has announced that it will be launching a Certification program that will aim to train junior level system administrators to administrate a Ubuntu-only system.
We are starting text search and replace here.
Many times Linux Administrators have to deal with large files. Some times conditions are critical e.g We have thousands of files where we want to replace a specific string like techbabu.com into techbabu.net in general conditions it may become hard to replace text in large number of files.
It is observed that in some cases certain files open in applications which are not well suited for those files.
When user creates JPGs in Photoshop. Mac OS X naturally wants to open it up in Photoshop. But for preview purposes it seems a slow process. To open the file in Preview mode is better solution.
This question is asked by many of us too often, well it depends upon your needs, requirement and expertise. In this post I will try to compare 9 top of the line Linux distributions I have worked upon, and found them very rich in features, it might help you to decide about the distro you should choose.
The Debian Project has announced that with the next release, FreeBSD kernel will be used as the base for its distribution. It would also make Debian as an authentic UNIX, as FreeBSD is an authentic UNIX, as it is based on BSD 4.4.
Both FreeBSD & Linux are reliable and Servers running either software often stay up for years. But disk I/O of linux is non-synchronous by default which corrupts filesystem after system crash.
Freebsd’s disk I/O is high performance for transactions based applications for example databases. It is observerd that under heavy network load, the network performance of linux is 20-30% below of Freebsd under same hardware.
openSUSE is a free and Linux-based operating system for your PC, Laptop or Server. You can surf the web, manage your e-mails and photos, do office work, play videos or music and have a lot of fun!
FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for modern server, desktop, and embedded computer platforms. FreeBSD’s code base has undergone over thirty years of continuous development, improvement, and optimization. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals.
Surprisingly Linux is becoming choice of supercomputers. World’s top 10 super computers are using different flavors of Linux operating systems. More over it Linux has approximately more than 80% share of the top 500 supercomputers. In past, IBM focused on AIX, but now involved in Linux. People chose Linux because it is open source and people believed Linux can run a computer the size of Blue Gene. In short, it seems that Linux has captured the supercomputers market almost completely.
