Windows 7: Pleasant surprise.

Good afternoon, ladies and cronies. xD

As you have seen in the previous post , I put more RAM to your notebook. Right now I have 768 MB of RAM (of which 64 are going to video) so ... well, I have 704 MB of RAM.
So apuradito and excited, I did that on more than one occasion mentioned that I wanted to do: Test Windows 7.
is not new. I said when I made my report about the history of Windows , I commented on more than one occasion, and even told my family. And now he had the chance. After entering www.microsoft.com, and follow the steps to get my 2.46 GB weighing the RC in English, I burned the ISO.

This laptop is, these days, in a period of experiments, so I'm not worried about Debian clear to take a look at 7. After you are finished to decide which system would be final and I would install and my soul be at peace. I made a small 2 GB partition where I installed MicroXP with drivers and essential Firefox-only case of problems that required internet-and a 20 GB for Windows 7. (The rest is a data partition).

MicroXP Once installed, I opened the Windows Installer 7. Let's say that is very similar to Windows Vista. I will not go over it. The installation is so, so easy that even your grandmother could install 98 years. After the first start, you have the typical desktop with the little fish we all know.

I began to explore. Keep in mind that I used Windows Vista very little stand it no more than 3 days in the desktop PC for its insane use of resources and efficiency-that very little if we do not have the famous UAC-so many things I liked and perhaps they were in WV

When I started driver was not sound or video. I had bad luck with the video: My chipset is not supported even in Vista. But Windows 7 driver grabbed my XP and went quite well. The audio driver was even better: Windows installed the driver just stealing it from perhaps where I had internet. The driver was painless wifi too: I put the CD USB wireless adapter and it immediately detected.

After these preliminaries, I looked. The first was the fact that the Screen settings had been redesigned to choose a "theme" according to your preference. The rest is radically different from the normal configuration of Windows XP.

I looked at the options in Control Panel. In general, everything was redone. The only thing that kept practically the same was the choice of gadgets, including inherited exactly the same as I already had Vista. Exploring a little I narrowed taskbar icons, restore the text, to ban the group (though many people liked, I do not like that feature, so it's off) and generally left the bar like MicroXP . That does not mean that I missed the best of it. I can move the icons side by side if I feel like it, and move the buttons on the taskbar so they are as I want.

The Windows Media Player 11 is expected. However, sins in the sense that the library management is separated by immediate management a playlist. Maybe it's because I love Amarok too, but that is my opinion. Also, when I scored my real music folder, I do not auto-detect or read the files on it until after you restart the PC.

Performance? New system. Was slit. Windows 7 RC1 (with the default services) consumes 442 MB of RAM. However, after installing some basic software (Firefox , Avira , Google Chrome, Windows Live Messenger and Microsoft Office 2007 (No, do not use it. I installed it only as evidence.) The system was slow. achacaré He he was only about 200 MB usable after loading the system, bearing in mind also that a netbook normally bends my RAM capacity ... however, on the other hand, does not apply, being that this RAM, Debian goes soft . Observed

tools. WordPad and Paint have been completely redesigned: now seem part of Office 2007. WordPad, in fact, seems a very short version of Word. The Windows Media Center is pretty good, but my RAM is sucked.

One of the things I loved the system were tabletPC functions, which could get all the juice with my tablet. Since handwriting (which after a bit of recognition was impressively accurate) to the ability to send what I wrote directly to any program such as Notepad or Word.

UAC (User Account Control) is not as annoying as Windows Vista, which is a relief. Now it's much more like Linux root password when ordering. What I miss is some kind SUDO to last for 10 minutes ... (Maybe there but could not find).

With Windows 7 only problem I found a very ugly and serious: The wireless network suddenly stopped being recognized. For Windows only showed the text "Unidentified Network" and when opened, could not connect. Even getting to know your SSID. Only was resolved after another format. I hope that is just the result of having a USB wireless adapter little known and that Windows is still a beta.

What I can say in general? Well

. Bear this in mind from someone who uses a PC not very powerful, is not the most recent generations. By how Windows 7 is now, if you buy a new computer, wait out the final version of Windows and buy it with it included. Windows 7 is a big change from Windows XP. Under Windows Vista the differences are more subtle, not so much visually. A simple example is the excellent performance you gave on my small laptop, although sometimes sucked on my little memory and no video card supports Aero. If Windows Vista makes it required at least 2 GB of RAM to operate at a relatively decent (and even then, my grandma's laptop has a Celeron Dual Core processor 1.8 GHz and 2 GB of RAM, and Vista Starter is very slow) this system is a real bullet.

If you use Windows XP, you have more than 1 GB of RAM and want to upgrade, so I saw highly recommend Windows 7. However, if your processor is less than 2 GHz and has less than 1 GB of RAM, I highly recommend sticking with Windows XP. Run the Upgrade Advisor Windows 7, take a look at your system and if you have time, try it. Today I can say that for the first Once Microsoft is doing an operating system focused on the user, and the result (so far) is more than acceptable.

Vip Invitation Birthday Wording

Debian Lenny [2 of 2: Test / Review] Debian Lenny

When I rebooted the PC (I know it was not necessary, but when I realized he had sent the reboot command), I opened gnome. The first thing I checked is I booted faster than Ubuntu , Mint or openSUSE on this laptop.

I started watching the programs that brought gnome by default. Absolutely nothing fancy or new, what I did find straight win of Debian is that the codecs for mp3, wma, asf and wmv came preinstalled.

Gnome (version 2.22) was walking fairly well. I say regularly because speed was not what I would say the best. However, I chalked it up to the RAM. On the other hand, I tried to install wine , fearful that the experience was as bad as Edubuntu. I opened a couple of simple games with him. The result? He went better than I supposed. When opened I Want to Be The Guy , I saw with delight that when a child exploited, the game does not put slower. Course will involve how much I liked it.

Best of all, they tried and tried and tested software of different types (from Druglord to Digsby ), and the system never hit me. Error, correct it. I dropped only when Abi OpenArena.

After of the above, I installed my tablet, a 8x6 MousePen Genius, following the steps here . Once proven

entire platform, was a bit slow. I wondered if MicroXP was still the best option for my note. However, I was an experiment I wanted to check before anything.

I put the first DVD in Debian, reformatted and installed the system, now with KDE. Yes, I had problems by not creating a root password, so I redid the installation. Once installed the system, with all the corresponding software, rebooted ... kdm opened and then put my user and my password ...

flew.

KDE flying in my note. I could not believe it. Open programs, and it was almost instantaneous. The only trick was to install ndiswrapper, get the service in the system, then the driver of the tablet, and use it has been said. He activates some desktop effects but I took them out to honor the system speed. I tried to open the programs. Amarok was not coming, but the installation with apt-get was instantaneous. I ran every program by default, and all went very well and quickly.

So I was using KDE for a couple of days, until I updated my laptop putting over 512 MB of RAM, and after make a backup again, I put Windows 7. But that's another story.

My personal opinion

Honestly, when I got Debian, feared that a facility was very difficult, especially over the issue of not knowing what packages need to do, but with the graphical installer, the process was very simple; even more than Ubuntu (even running the installer in expert mode).

The DVD was not live, but never mind. The amount of software available is huge, and if you know what you want, do not take more than a few seconds to have your program.

I inevitably compare Debian over other Linux systems I've used. Since Xubuntu (a record of failure and lack of interface), Ubuntu Ultimate 1.2, 1.4, Linux Mint Daryna / Elyssa, Elyssa XFCE Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, OpenSUSE 10 and Puppy Linux. Among all these, I'll stick with Debian. This system, as I remarked, as steady as a rock buried in the beach. Linux Mint would come second, both for its attractive visual theme as default for the Mint tools. And third would Puppy Linux, which despite having an interface that is not completely my taste, he was very loose (it was the idea) and fast. Debian

sin of being slightly ugly, but a quick visit to gnome-look, kde-look , or xfce-look debian-art is enough to change that.

I could not see how it goes Compiz on my machine, so I can not give details.
If I ask for a recommendation, try it. The system will not fall easily, and is something that is noticeable from the very beginning when compared to any other distro derived from this. Remember that Debian is the father of Ubuntu, and therefore, the grandfather of many other distros based on the latter.

lowered further recommend the DVD versions. Save much time installing software in the future.

Oh, and the data sheet.
Operating System: Linux Debian
Kernel: 2.6.26-1-686 (At least the one I used)
Minimum RAM: 44 MB for a console-only system, 128 MB for Gnome / KDE, 64 MB for LXDE / XFCE.
Disk Space: The standard installation (without adding anything) is approximately 2.2 GB of disk. Varies somewhat depending on the desktop environment.
Website: http://www.debian.org .

PD: Oh, by the way, as data. I did not take screenshots of KDE because at the time I forgot. However, they can see a screenshot I took out-of-intention: http://htfcuddles.deviantart.com/art/Debian-KDE-122926854 .
PD2: XMMS does not exist in the Debian repositories. I had to install it manually from another source.

Poptropica Private Sever

[1 of 2: Installation] Dragon Ball

Hello everyone.
been a long time. After several serious problems in my personal life, I feel better and able to post here.
A lot has happened in the political, legal, global, and so on. You may touch the issues as time passes. But today I speak of software, a topic not long ago played.

You all know that when I happened to get me to the world of Linux and the penguin, I did starting with Ubuntu. The 4.10, which lasted 3 days on my PC until I had the 6.06, I installed and then to use has been said. What times.

Guided by the need to update to have a bit of eye candy, and not have to reinstall the multimedia tooodo re-Ubuntu does not bring about any media out-of-the-box, all you have to install it by hand) - di Ultimate Ubuntu, a distro which actually is a 9001 Ubuntu plugins.

However, Ubuntu fell into a serious hole: A Linux system in theory is faster and more efficient than Windows, and that what I had said, walking into any PC, it was getting slow and overburdened. I'm talking about 512 MB of RAM with the liveCD delayed enough to open (in fact time was close to Ubuntu Ultimate 1.2 .... which is not very good). In the midst of my search for something better and more complete, I found Linux Mint, a system that actually commented here in a previous .

received this laptop, as everyone knows, is very low in RAM (with only 191 MB). That aside, I have the drama that is S3/Via Unichrome graphics chipset, and the hard drive is only 40 GB. However, I decided to try Linux.
I've said and I admit it: I gnomero. I do not like much KDE, Fluxbox is guilty of being simplistic to an extreme extremísimo (I tried with DSL), and I looked like a gnome XFCE maimed which also went very unstable (both as Mint XFCE Xubuntu).

the end, after several tests and trials (where I had to reformat about 5 times) I managed to keep one: Edubuntu (7.10). I had many dramas with the graphics card at first, but I got it installed. Yeah. I used it for almost two months (until I installed VirtualBox, believe it or not), but had the need to use Windows software, and an update of wine, I killed the system: Every time I opened anything, I blocked the entire system ( the absence of 3D on this card).

the end formatting. I installed Windows 2000 to have something light and that worked well. I tried OpenSUSE too. In Gnome and XFCE version. I did not like, I found the RPM and Yum impractical failed on many occasions. Moreover, if the update was in the middle and fell yum, I had many problems opening yum again, something that never occurred to me with Synaptic.

After that, I used Windows and I was away from Linux. I wanted to try Ubuntu 8.04 but I changed my mind after 10 minutes of it installed: Your insane consumption of RAM without having installed any additional software did go SLOW. I lowered my codecs audio / video and opened something. It was a nightmare. Ubuntu 8 lasted no more than 2 days on my laptop, it was. I deleted it. Pum. Goodbye.

In one of those on a PC I used RedHat from the university, and had the same problem: You do not like RPM. Bah. Just me. Use the bug of Linux was, but I stopped the need for Windows software, plus the low RAM that I have added to my disdain for desktop light. On the other hand, it still relied on my knowledge to install any distro that required advanced commands, because although I do not fear the console, I'm no expert on it.

However, I decided. I wanted to try the new. The latest version, the father of many distros today: Debian
. I decided to

Debian arm the system as I wanted to build it, install it my way, with only the software and services that I would use and nothing else would have my gnome and light. Ownearía who is fun of me because my PC goes slow.

I thought of something practical. A net install for me it was not, because that would mean that if something would be forced to have internet. Then with a classmate we agreed, and said lower DVDs.

On Saturday I went to his house, and once backed up my 19 GB of information in the PC of my friend (because I have no DVD recorder, is DVD / CD recorder) to reformat and install Debian.
It would be a great start.

Installation.


By the way, before anything else, so you know, my laptop is a Packard Bell EasyNote E6305 , with 192 MB of RAM and 40 GB hard drive, graphics chipset Via K8M800 S3/Unichrome. In fact they are 256 MB of RAM, but 64 is going to video, and no hardware or BIOS nor any option to change.

Once inserted the DVD 1 (which is not Live, ACIS), showed the typical menu asking what you want to do. You can start a normal installation, an expert mode (both with a choice of "graphical install"). Furthermore, in the advanced options you can choose which desktop system you want (Gnome, KDE, XFCE or LXDE). By default, choose gnome.

My installation was in standard mode, and was not different to any other facility: The questions were the same as I did the Ubuntu installer (plus some of opensuse). After answering the questions, the system was delayed half an hour to install. Finally finished, I got the DVD, rebooted, y. ..

problems began.

First, the screen was set to 1600x1200 being the maximum that I hold this laptop is 1024x768. That means I lost everything below. When I went to the menu to change the screen resolution, I was wrong: Not listed resolutions of any kind.
I looked at the xorg.conf and it was a simple, not knowing what to do. Import a xorg.conf from Ubuntu 6.06 was not the best because that would mean he would lose the VGA and TV output of my video card. What could I do? Apart
could not navigate. Using a wireless adapter TWL541U Tenda, could not, Debian did not know the device. To make matters worse, it was late (was in the house of my friend) and I could not stay. So I turned off the PC, I got the DVD and decided to dedicate it easy to install at home.

Step one: reformat and installed MicroXP . I decided that the Windows partition would be for the exclusive soft or complex games that Debian was not able to run with my PC small (AKA Grand Theft Auto). The formatted as NTFS and I installed the wireless driver, more K-Meleon. I looked for solutions to my problem graph. Annotations, and this time I walk the Debian installer in expert mode.

The questions were not so complicated that I expected. In fact, the installation was easier than I expected. The only answers "strange" were he did not want a root account (I like sudo and Ubuntu), not wanting to use the innovative new version of Grub, and desktop environment LXDE would use it to test what this was.

Once installed the solution did not work I got on my graphics card. In addition, I urged the wireless (why I opened the laptop to get the integrated is a long story.) How rich is that being around in the DVD did not have to lose Internet, put in the console sudo apt-get install something and I installed in under 20 seconds. I solved the drama

chart, eventually modifying / etc/X11/xorg.conf by hand, which not recommend to any novice or newbie in Linux .

was to install ndiswrapper then, bring me wireless driver from the CD that brought the device and install to boot. Voilà, I could access the wireless network from Debian.

already had the basics working and working well. Take to say that during all this mess for the repair, the only times when I restarted the system was to review documents online (getting the same MicroXP). In the other, no. Ndiswrapper was running away, and once I checked xorg.conf fixed the immediate results when pressing CTRL + ALT + Backspace, y. .. that.

Debian system was finally walking, running well, and LXDE. I wanted to change the wallpaper and I found the option anywhere in the control panel. Now, do I have to edit a text file to change my wallpaper? No, thanks. I'm too comfortable to do that.

sudo apt-get install gnome

Once installed, log off, started as a Gnome .... and now I can say that I started to enjoy (seriously) to one of the most stable operating systems in the world. Of course, with relatively old versions of software, but very stable. My findings in the next chapter.
