Are You Moving to KDE4?

I have tried KDE4 spins by dozens of distros including those from biggies like Fedora, OpenSuse, Kubuntu and Mandriva, but found varying degree of annoyance and/or lack of completeness across all of them. So what? I am waiting for Tex and/or Warren to bake KDE4 for me. I am sure KDE4 will be ready for mass consumption when it makes way into PCLinuxOS or Mepis.

May be it will happen after KDE4 reaches big increments like 4.5 or above, may be it will ship in mepis 10, or may be after 1 year in PCLinuxOS. Till then happy computing with good old KDE3.

Do you think the same? If so, drop a line.

Puppy Linux 4.2.1 is not a Puppy, but a Poppa to Many!

Puppy has long been the posterboy for all those who needed a light distribution. However, I never really tried it before. I was happy in the crowd of biggies like Mandriva, PCLinuxOS, Mepis and Ubuntu. This morning I downloaded Puppy Linux 4.2.1 (puppy-4.2.1-k2.6.25.16-seamonkey.iso, the incremental .1 is a bugfix) just like that. And Lo! After popping it on my notebook, it a sort of stunned me for its beauty, simplicity, speed, usability, wealth of applications, and overall integration of the whole.

It is an independent distribution on diet by JWM and a careful selection of applications for almost any task you do on your home desktop.

It has around 170 odd ones including a word processor (Abiword), spreadsheet program (Gnumeric), batch renamer, download manager, torrent client, IM client, media player, vector and rastor graphics program, ftp client, archiver, copy disk tool, cd/dvd/brd burner, iso image editor, audio ripper, sticky note utility... and a lot lot more that it seemed more comprehensive than the complete Fedora 10 DVD. You name it, and it has a slimmed down version of it. All of them packed in just 100MB. God! Is it a miracle?

The most astounding part of this tiny distro is that all the tools, applications and utilities it has work flawlessly. No wonder, at #8 on the distrowatch ranking it is outdoing many heavyweights.

As for the beauty, Puppy does the best JWM. It is sure to allure you with a grey color theme and shiny orange icons.

It seems "Puppy is actually a Poppa" (Daddy). It has it all. It is a must for everybody, especially for those who want to breath new life into their rather old Desktops/Notebooks.

Mandriva 2009.1 Spring Gnome, a Perfect Desktop Linux

Though I was happy with the Gnome One CD I could not resist trying the latest Mandriva 2009.1 KDE One CD. After two days I formatted my hdd and installed the Gnome One CD.

May be I am not that smart enough to use KDE 4.2. May be KDE 4.2 is still not as complete as KDE 3.5.10. I will try Mandy KDE versions when it will ship with KDE 4.5 or later.

Now that I installed the Mandriva 2009.1 Spring Gnome One again, I customized for my home desktop. I was surprised how the Mandy people have improved the whole distribution. Mandy's touch of beauty to Gnome Environment, Boot Optimization and System Responsiveness is simply surprising.

Best of all, Mandy installation has done a great job in removing unnecessary drivers. Here are some of the screenshots of my fully loaded Mandy 2009 Spring Gnome that prove that Mandriva 2009.1 Gnome desktop is a heavily optimized distribution for desktop computing.



Screenshot of list of services of my home desktop: 17 services in all.



Freshly booted Mandriva 2009.1 Spring Gnome desktop takes just 116 MB



Just 6 applications are running on my Mandriva 2009.1 Desktop



With the above list of applications it consumes only 2.2 GB of HDD space.

Hereunder is the list of packages that my Mandy 2009.1 Spring installation has.

Mandriva Linux 2009.1 (Spring) – Steps Ahead in Linux Desktop War

My Last tryst with Mandriva was the Powerpack version of 2008. It was good but not great. PClinuxOS 2008 MiniME seemed to me a better choice in terms of stability, wireless configuration and usability.

I had tried Mandriva 2009. It was full of promises (though there were some showstoppers). When a few days back Mandriva released the latest version of its operating system, Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring, I could not stop myself from downloading it.

What's So Great About It?

1. It has that extra polish (trademark of Mandriva Spring Release).
2. It has Kernel 2.6.29 (with many new drivers and support for ext4).
3. It has option to remove unnecessary drivers after installation.
4. It dwarfs many Linux distros in terms of boot-speed and overall system responsiveness.
5. It has packaged many latest (yet stable) applications such as OO.o 3.0.1, Firefox 3.0.8, Gimp 2.6 and More.
6. It has professional looking theme and style.
7. It is a very stable release!

What's Not So Good?

Only one - package management. The default package management frontend gurpmi seems somewhat not so polished. I also tried other alternatives such as smart and easy urpmi. None are for me. I am dreaming of a day when Mandriva will have a better package management frontend that is as good or better than apt-get (synaptic).

Mandriva Benchmarks on My Notebook (Celeron M 1.73GHz, 1GB RAM)

Boot time (from Grub to full Gnome Desktop): 35 sec
Shutdown time: 9 sec
Memory footprint on freshly booted desktop: 110 MB (gnome desktop with only 19 services running)

Hardware Detection and Configuration

It readily detected and configured my X3100 graphics, Broadcom 4311 wlan card, webcam and external bluetooth dongle. Like always, Mandriva 2009.1 is great when it comes to hardware detection and configuration.

Conclusion

Once the leader of desktop linux, Mandriva is all set to acquire its old glory. 2009 Spring release is great in many ways. The more you use it, the more you will like it.

Red Hat and Fedora are Poles Apart

While Fedora is too bleeding edge, Red Hat (and Centos) is too conservative. Both are poles apart. Red Hat and its community bandwagon, Fedora don't offer anything in between. Of Course, there are Blag, Scientific Linux, StartCom, but the leading flavors of Red Hat Camp are still Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Centos) and Fedora.

While most of the people in Linux World know what to use, the rest of the world has no exact idea. For example seasoned Linux Administrators will never deploy Fedora as Server or Desktop, they will stick with RHEL or Centos. However, they might backport some packages from Fedora to get something done in RHEL or Centos.

There is nothing wrong if an enterprise distribution is somewhat conservative and its backed community distribution is bleeding edge. But the situation becomes grim if some people consider both to be somewhat same. I have witnessed many such unfortunate situations.

My previous employer wanted to replace the entire Windows platform with Linux. To ensure the transition smooth, he hired a Linux consultant. On his first day in office, the consultant configured on Web and Data Server Centos 5.2 (It is running seamlessly). Next day, after some discussion with the CEO, he installed Fedora 10 on the desktops. (Reason: The consultant convinced our CEO that Fedora is backed by Redhat, the most trusted name is corporate world) And here is where all the pleasure ended. For next 10 days the office was chaotic with heated Fedora bashing. That Consultant was again called in. This time he tried Centos on desktops but could not succeed. The new and shiny desktops and laptops just refused to Centos. Reason? Centos is really very old and our hardware is too new.

Blame it on the yesteryears and the popularity of Redhat, most of the people even today mean Linux by Redhat. Still worse, they equate Fedora with Redhat and proceed deploying Fedora as an alternative to Red Hat only to fall into trouble.

PS: We have installed PCLinuxOS 2007 and 2009.1 in our office desktops after the disappointing experience with Fedora. There has been no glitches so far.

Debian Lenny, Mighty Debian!

Blame it on me because I also thought Debian is not for newbies for use as a Desktop Linux. The latest from the Debian Project, Lenny changed me. Many are in the thought that Debian is a good server operating system, and many suggest its derivatives such as Ubuntu, Mepis, Pardus and Linspire for desktop usage. Pity! Debian has come of age since Potato and Woody, and now, as much I experienced, is perfect for desktop usage.

I found pure Debian to be better than its so called derivatives in many ways.

1. It's rock solid. I hope nobody will defy this statement.

2. It is easy and I mean it. Before installing I prepared myself for an uphill task for pulling non-free packages, configuring the closed-source wlan device, integrating codecs/plugins into browser and installing some proprietary applications. First of all, installation of the default Debian Lenny was as easy as installing any modern Desktop Linux. The plain pink installer was painfree. After installation I pulled in ndiswrapper module and got my wlan up and running. Finally setting up Debian-Multimedia repository was only as easy as placing an URL in the synaptic. And then all my favorite packages such as skype, unrar, w32codes, libdvdcss2, vlc, mplayer and firefox (remember Default Debian install has a pure opensource clone of Firefox, Iceweasel). With main, contribut, free, non-free and multimedia repositories active you are just a click away from around 25,000 packages!

3. It is a performer. Previously I thought it to be slow trying to appease a lot of criteria. But I was wrong, I found it to be as responsive as Mepis or Ubuntu.

4. It supports all. Many are in the wrong opinion that "Debian owing to its stable principle and delayed release cycle does not support modern hardware". Rest assured, with Xorg 7.4 and Kernel 2.6.26 Lenny is not outdated at all. Most probably it will support your desktop and laptop devices including some esoteric devices as well.

In conclusion I would suggest all of you who are using Ubuntu or other Debian Derivatives to try Lenny. It is worth the time!

Linux Desktop is not in the Menu of Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Sometime back I had tried Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop 5.2. Well, I did not purchase it. My cousin, an RHCE aspirant got that for me. The interaction was short – First I installed RHEL 5.2 on his Desktop (specifications: Intel 845 motherboard, PIV 1.8 GHz processor and 1 GB RAM) then tried to installed the same on an HP DV notebook. Installing on the desktop was painless, but it could not install on the HP DV notebook. So, when the 5.3 release was announced I was really curious to try that. After all, version 5.3 has many updates, especially those about device drivers.



Having decided to try RHEL 5.3 I browsed the www.redhat.com. Registration was damn easy. After a short while I got mail with details of my account and activation for downloading the evaluation version of RHEL 5.3. Having those info with me I logged in to Red Hat Network (RHN) and reached at the download page. And that's exactly where all my enthusiasm ended. Actually I was looking for the Desktop version of RHEL, but to my despair Red Hat offers evaluation versions for Servers only. There is no option to download and try Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop. Sad! It made me think that RED HAT DOES NOT AIMS AT OR CARES FOR LINUX ON DESKTOP.



Despair and frustrated I browsed www.centos.org. After all, Centos is the free clone of Red Hat. Downloading Centos 5.3 was easy. I downloaded through the bin DVD. Installing Centos 5.3 on my Desktop was hassle-free. But again, Centos 5.3 was joke on the same HP DV notebook. Then I tried the same on my Compaq notebook. It failed again. It could not detect some of the devices and it could not configure (though detected) many others. Well nothing to blame Centos, it is just a recompilation of Red Hat source packages.

My search for Red Hat Linux Enterprise Desktop 5.3 and my hands-on experience with Centos 5.3 tought me a lesson. Both these distros are not meant for notebooks at all. Of course, you can use them if your notebook is more than one decade old. Well, you can use them on relative old and standard desktops.

I hope you know Novell has already released its SLE 11 with a new kernel and updated packages. Even Debian is shining and ready to sit on most of the notebooks and desktops with its relatively new 2.6.26 kernel and xorg 7.4, where as the RHEL 5.3 is still sticking to that 2.6.18 kernel and an age-old xorg, making it a big NO for notebooks. What's more, there is no sign of the plans for RHEL 6. May be, it will take another 2 years when the it hits markets.

It seems to me that Red Hat does not aim at the desktop/laptop markets.

PCLinuxOS - 4 Tweaks to Speed up Firefox3

Firefox3 is very feature-rich, secure and usable web browser. It is a testimony of the power of opensource software. But while going to please everybody and serve many functions it has become little heavy and seems sluggish, especially during startup and first connection. Fortunately, you can tweak its settings to make it blazingly fast.

Here are a few of them that will help speed up firefox3.

#1
Open about:config in firefox3, type network.http.pipelining in the filterbar, then double-click on this line and its value from false to true. Likewise search for network.http.proxy.pipelining, plugin.expose_full_path and network.dns.disableIPv6 and change their values to true.

#2
Search for network.http.pipelining.maxrequests in the filterbar of about:config page, double click on it and change the value anywhere from 10 to 20.

#3
Rightclick in the about:config page and select New followed by Integer. And in the new Integer value box type nglayout.initialpaint.delay and click ok. In the integer value box type 0 and click OK. Likewise create two Integers - one content.notify.backoffcount with value 5, and the other ui.submenuDelay with value 0. 1. Similarly, create a New Integer, name it Network.dnsCacheExpiration and give its value as 3600.

#4
The last tweak is about loosening one of the firefox3 security features for fast browsing, so be careful. Turn off these two security options under the Edit>>Preferences>>Security section of firefox:

Security -> Tell me if the site I’m visiting is a suspected Attack site
Security -> Tell me if the site I’m visiting is a suspected forgery

Close the preferences window, exit Firefox, and then delete urlclassifier3.sqlite file in .mozilla/firefox/*/, i.e, rm .mozilla/firefox/*/urlclassifier3.sqlite (checkout for *, in my case it is loela80g.default)

Computing on Gnome Desktop was never so easy before PCLinuxOS 2009.1 Gnome

PCLinuxOS 2009.1 Gnome Desktop

I am a KDE guy. I have loved KDE for its superior usability and availability of good KDE apps. I like Mandriva, PCLinuxOS and Mepis for many reasons, an important of them being they implement KDE better than any other distro. However, PCLinuxOS 2009.1 Gnome made me think seriously over Gnome. I must recommend every Gnome enthusiast to try it.

It's beautiful Gnome Distro optimized to give you maximum performance. It comes with a good selection of multimedia apps, especially VLC, Mobile Media Converter and Kino. It dwarfs default Fedora Gnome desktop with its good selection of packages and stability.

PCLinuxOS 2009.1 Gnome is the only Gnome Desktop that has such handy system tools such as PCLinuxOS Control Center. In addition to these, it seems me to be a pure Gnome Desktop, i.e., it does not have much stuff such as libraries and stuff of other desktop environments like KDE, Xfce. With the main KDE PCLinuxOS you have got some gnome stuff alongwith a customized and fine-tuned KDE desktop, but this gnome remaster has a somewhat pure gnome appeal.

Installing Roboform in Linux and integrating it with Firefox

The last roadblock of our migration to Linux is over with the successful installation of roboform on PCLinuxOS 2009.1 in our SEO Company in India. Now we are happy that we accomplished it after a week-long toiling around. We searched various forums for a fix and none of those suggestions worked. Here is the detailed and ordered acount of what we did to get roboform work on top of firefox in PCLinuxOS.

1. First we installed "Crossoverlinux Pro 7"
2. Then we installed "Internet Explorer 6" through crossover linux.
3. Make the crossover bottle having internet explorer 6 default.
   
4. Install "firefox windows version 2" in the default bottle.
   
5. Finally, we installed Roboform Pro 6.9 in that default bottle too.

Important notes:

After please install "internet explorer 6" "firefox 2 windows version" and "roboform 6.9" in the same bottle of crossover linux.

That's it!
