Come installare il modem di Alice in Ubuntu Linux e derivate
2008-05-24 17:25:00 Salve!!! Ubuntu non ha ancora raggiunto la piena compatibilità, di default, con la maggior parte dei modem (come la serie Alice Gate), soprattutto quelli di Alice.Per ovviare a questo problema però, basta installare il "Broadband ADSL/PPPoE Client", che permette la connessione RP-PPPoE, cioè quella utilizzata della maggior parte dei modem alice. Senza quel client, la connessione risulterà lenta, la navigazione disturbata, o addirittura, in alcuni casi, non avvenire.Per installare Broadband ADSL/PPPoE Client, se utilizziamo Ubuntu e/o derivate (come Kubuntu), basterà scaricare questo file, posizionarlo per una nostra comodità nella cartella Home, digitare da terminale (Applicazioni -> Accessori -> Terminale) sudo tar zxvf rp-pppoe-3.6.tar.gz -C /opt/ (inseriamo quindi la password di amministratore quando ci verrà richiesta, e poi premiamo "Invio" dalla tastiera), ancora sudo chown -R root:root /opt/rp-pppoe-3.6/, ed infine sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/RP-PPPo-E.desktop.Nella fin...

The "Ubuntu Story" site
2008-05-16 13:59:00 I just stumbled on this site, it is a promotional site devoted to Ubuntu, you might be thinking, "well yet another Ubuntu site" but I think this one deserves a visit, it does not have how-tos, or such kind of info, it is mainly promotional, it has some information about Ubuntu's, Flexibility, Speed, Simplicity, Appearance, Stability, Freedom, Security and Community, which are the columns where Ubuntu rests. You can also share your story (your Ubuntu's Story) with others, and you can read other's story, there are some good ones, you find how Ubuntu helps people in all areas, from students, to web developers, to sales people, as a matter of fact in all possible areas. So, I encourage you to share your Ubuntu story in that site, if you are an Ubuntu user off course. I also like the design with flash, the colours, effects, etc. nice artwork. Ubuntu Story
How did Ubuntu end up so popular?
2008-05-16 12:49:00 As a matter of fact, I made myself that question more than a few times, but never took the time to try to find an answer, because Ubuntu is a relatively new Distro, it comes from Debian when Mark Shuttleworth, who was part of the Debian project decided that Debian was not focused on the final user as it should, and made its own distribution. Well, I have found an article which touches some facts about why is Ubuntu so popular today, and we have to say that, in less time than RedHat, Suse, or Debian. Of course as almost everything in this globalization era, is marketing, but instead of starting an analysis, you better read the article I have found, and then comment about it. (Due to spam, I have to approve the comments before they go online). How did Ubuntu end up so popular?
How to: Install a Debian/Ubuntu package (.deb) cache server - apt-cacher
2008-05-14 16:36:00 If you have more than one PC using Debian or Ubuntu, you know that upgrading them makes most of the time download the same files more than once, and that is not good for your bandwidth. I usually forward my requests to my Squid (in my office) and to my Personal proxy Polipo at home, it works, but apt-cacher may be a better approach as the way it decides if a file stays or is erased from the cache is more appropriate for .deb package than in Squid or Polipo, as they are optimized for web surfing. Well, after that introduction, lets go to the interesting part of the post. Installing To install it just run: sudo aptitude install apt-cacher Configuring The main configuration file is located at: /etc/apt-cacher/apt-cacher.conf- And you should check these parameters, which at least for me are the most important ones. # cache_dir is used to set the location of the local cache. This can # become quite large, so make sure it is somewhere with plenty of space. cache_dir=/var/cache/apt-cacher-...
Why we love Ubuntu Linux (or maybe we don?t)
2008-05-12 03:30:00 With Ubuntu 8.04 now on the streets, it’s time to catch a breather and reflect on just why Ubuntu gets all the hype. Why is Ubuntu the hottest brand in Linuxdom at this time? Why is it the distro most frequently advocated? I posed these questions to readers and LUG members; here’s the feedback from real-life Linux users.

Ubuntu Server 8.04 will be supported for five years, only the second version of Ubuntu to be guaranteed Long Term Support, with the previous 6.06 version also receiving the LTS designation.

Runlevels - Debian (Ubuntu) / Fedora (CentOS)
2008-04-21 21:49:00 There are six different runlevels in Linux, there could be more than six, but for compatibility reasons six are the default. I have used RedHat and Debian based Linux, more specifically Fedora and Ubuntu and Debian itself, I have noticed that there is a difference in the runlevels on this different Linux distributions. Well but first let's define the runlevels: Runlevels in Linux are seven and they are: - 0 = halt - 1 = single user - 2 = CLI, multi-user, no net - 3 = CLI, multi-user, networked - 4 = open - 5 = GUI, multi-user, networked - 6 = reboot You can define more of them if you want, but whit this should be enough, a runlevel will define which software to start when you enter in that specific runlevel. For example if you go to runlevel 0, the computer will halt, and probable turn off (If it is a modern computer). When you enter a specific runlevel, Linux will run some scripts that are located at: /etc/rc0.d Run level 0 /etc/rc1.d Run level 1 /etc/rc2.d Run level 2 /etc/rc3...
