Windows 7

here a post about Windows 7:
http://apcmag.com/7668/beyond_vista_windows_7_what_we_know_so_far

alot of people are complaining about vista, and are not happy with it. Tho from a Windows point of view, i kinda like vista. more Unixy in the way
it starts to handle the home directory/Profile. etc but that all said with XPs support being very long,  and many ppl not happy about vista it would not surprise me in the least if many users and companys kept XP till windows 7 and jumped to it.

Windows Vista SP 1 change log posted

Hi All,

here is a post to and about the Vista changelog:
http://www.istartedsomething.com/20071208/vista-sp1-changelog/

some very good stuff, should improve vista by a noticeable hit. and thats a good thing.

Enlightenment [E17 themes part 2

here is the main location for E17 themes:
http://www4.get-e.org/


installing a theme is pretty easy, like I said in  my last post about themes. just download the theme you want. save it in your home directory somewhere
tho I created a directory called E17_themes and save all themes there.

then in your main menu goto configuration and then themes. change theme, logout and log back in. do the same for the panel/shelf.

Enlightenment [E17] new EWL released (core compont)

looks like the enlightenment team has been hard at work and has released and update EWL.

what it is here: http://wiki.enlightenment.org/index.php/EWL

and the news post:
http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=news/show&l=en&news_id=14

looks like from the change list, lots of major changes and as EWL handles themes I would not be surprised if some themes have issues.

Hopefully a production release of E17 just got a step closer.

Enlightenment [E17] themes

some more tidbits on E17,

I really like the way themes work, you download a file. and in the config menu under themes just tell E17 to use that theme. and bang thats it, tho you have to change the panel/start menu on its own.

the Enlightenment ecosystem likes to say the E17 is not a window manager but more of a framework or a desktop shell. I think this is realy the case E17, is really well done. and provides many very good parts to develop on. and is pretty fast and very stable.

Fedora 7 to Fedora 8 upgrade with Enlightenment [E17] installed

I upgraded my Fedora 7 with E17 to Fedora 8. I downloaded the Fedora 8 DVD iso and ran an 'upgrade'. everything worked fine.
no problems as of yet. Enlightenment works fine, and Gnome seems a tad bit better and a tad bit more responsive.

in order what I did:

*make sure  system is fully updated.
*make sure no major errors in the logs or and funky software is installed that will muck it up.
*boot off install DVD select upgrade.

thats it.

More Enlightenment [E17]

was trying to create a Kiosk out of  Enlightenement, which *I* think it would be very well suited for. but at this time the only menu editing
is the ones you have in the configs. and no lock down. I emailed the devs and the menu is not modular its all hard coded in: e_int_menus.c

and if you down load the source, its a huge file.  :)

though I went thru a pretty long email exchange and they seem to be open to something for editing or locking down the menu for kiosk use. we will have to see when and
where it fits in. and I am pretty sure it way down the list...

tho, I think E17 is bvery stable and very responsive and would make for a very fine kiosk. the man challanage is the menu and controlling icons etc. once this is handled
E17 would make for a really fine kiosk.

Enlightenment [E17]

First  let me have a disclaimer that this is no review and is just some of my random thoughts.

ok that said:

Let me start by saying wow, No I mean it. the font and window rendering are first class.  I work from Virtual machines alot, and I use Gnome alot but I have also used KDE, FVWM, Blackbox etc.
I always end up back at gnome for some odd reason. Enlightenment E17 is first class, tho its called a lightweight window manager and not a desktop environment like Gnome and KDE. that
in no ways means its a lesser force.  and, its not really trying to copy anyone or anything they (enlightenment team) are just doing there own thing.
the way themes are applied, are first rate the Enlightenment environment was aware of the file when i justed clicked on it.

and, since I tend to work mostly form VMs, how the desktop preforms is a big deal. but I like candy, and decent functionality.

I did get E17 to kinda hang alittle, I was moving xchat from inside the pager from virtual desktop 1 to Virtual desktop 2, and the window redraw start going crazy. the good thing was it never crashed and toke down the entire desktop. I was able to fire up xterm and restart.

anther thing I like is the work flow, and the snappiness of E17, it feels snappy, and modern. when you move a window you don't really see the window and font redraws.

overall, pretty good. will post more about E17 as I come across it.

Analog to Digital society

Here is a post, which Tho I think  is a good thing:
http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/25/149202

is just baby steps til we get to a point where most things are "online" or in some kind of digital form.
as we move from a analog to digital society and into an "information age" storing data is more and more important.
in the near future, having 500GB flash/solid state types of hard drives are not out of the possibility. even having normal drives
that are 5TB could also happen in the near future. I look forward to the day when we have light/crystal based storage and have huge storage capacity's.
where stuff like a small 'chip' gives 5TB of data storage at speed of like  25,000 rpm. all based on light/crystal and no moving parts, very stable.

where you could even carrey your storage with you and boot any PC with your device, and all your data.software ect will all be there.


future looks very bright indeed....

windows command line/shell

Here is a post I did on this thread:
http://www.osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=18796



on the NT side of things that is, NT/2k/XP/Vista;

cmd, and a host of tools have long been available for scripters. in corp land this stuff is used pretty often.

large cmd scripts, vbs scripts with all sorts of wsh, or just pure wsh. there are also tons of cmd/shell based tools available for scripters, things like ifmember for parsing nt and ad groups of cusrmgr the comand line user manager.

and on the vbs/Perl side of things there is tons of native calls you can do.


this is not rocket science, windows admins have been scripting since day one. (at least good admins do)

its not unlike good Unix admins, script everything. just becuase some people did not know, its possiable in windows does not mean you can do it. there is ven rysnc for windows, and most of the GNU tools have all been ported also. things like sed, etc are all there if you want them.

blog about a blog: 13 reasons Linux....

Here is the link:
http://www.digg.com/linux_unix/13_reasons_why_Linux_should_be_on_your_desktop

Now, its more or less a blog about a blog about a blog kind of thing. :)
that said, alot of people blog and write articles about these types of things.
and I am of the opinion that Linux/BSD/Mac will gain market share. but Microsoft
will not just fall down dead one day.  Microsoft will evolve just like the market is
evolving.  but, Microsoft's day of 90% and above market share across the board
are; more or less, almost over. you cant beat Microsoft will marketing or politics. you have to produce
a better product, period. thats what will win in the end, becuase geeks, and corps alike respect that
thats what will win the day. here are some general thought of my rambling mind can jot down that *I*
think would help OSS (Linux and BSDs).

For the desktops:
its all about the apps,

• Browser that works, and can play video streams and access all information users need like there banking sites etc.
• Email, stable email client that can handle loads of email with filtering and sorting.
  
• IM Clients, that work with all the major IM networks.
• Video players, be able to play all the different videos that ploat arround the web
• music, be able to play all the different codecs.
• 3rd party support for required items like the cisco VPN client (does not work well if you can get it installed )
• polished supported drivers and utilitys, things like the new network mgr( http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2007/10/05/networkmanager-07-feature-list/)
• maybe somekind of device mgr like windows has, to make it easy for users to manage and see all there drivers, etc
• power management, that works and is stable.

thats it, but as you read the list. many will notice that most of that list is already here. and for many most or all of the list. I think we are pretty close.

Why do we use the Operating Systems we use? [part 1]

As an IT geek, I get to use and develop with lots of different OS's.  and I think that gives me some perspective on some things.

some people get pretty defensive about the OS they use. and some just use what's in front of them. Most people want there Computer to just work,

and they want there devices to just work when they connect them to there computer.

 

what makes someone a "Mac user" or a "Windows user" or even a "Linux user"?

 

I think really it is a combination of things, that determine what a person is....

 

There are factors like the following:

• First computers use and trained on.
• Computer used at work.
• software used.
• hobbies.

I think there are more, and maybe even sub category's of those. but thats a good start.  People also want access to all there data and there software. so, people tend to gravitate toward the OS that seems to suit them, or that they 'like" and fits.

 

also, within IT companys use all sorts of OS's for many reasons. I like to say, "use the best tool for the job".  and in that companys are expaning into using

more OS's in there data centers. and intergrating them all.

 

 

thats all for now more later

Paul Thurrott post on Vista SP1

Here is a post by Paul Thurrott see here:

http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_sp1_inside.asp

 

Overall not a bad post;

 

What I have to say is though, is that though Vista is getting allot of flak in all corners of the web. And, I tend to think most of the antiVista-ers either most likely have not used Vista or have not used it for long.  Though Vista is far form perfect, and there are some issues that need to be dealt with. Vista overall is much better then XP. though right *now* XP is far more mature. and drivers wise, that's a big deal. and as Vista's Driver model is different it will take time for all the different drivers to catch up and get stable on Vista.

 

 

 

But I have to say, I cant wait for Sp1 I use Vista on my laptop. and use Virtual machines for several vm images, like so:
 

 

Virtual machines

• windows 2000
• windows XP with VS 2003
• windows XP with VS 2005
• windows XP basic setup
• Ubuntu
• freeBSD
• Fedora 7

 

I tend to do most of my work in VMs,  :)

Future of the desktop

Well, the "future of the desktop" is one of the most hotly debated things on the net.  in one corner you have Microsoft the current champ weighing in at 800lbs. in anther

corner you have Apple, weighing in at about 250lbs. and last but not least you have OSS (Linux/FreeBSD etc) weighing in at 225lbs.

 

I think the Future of the desktop is a very murky place, and what i mean by that is.  generally what we now have and can now 'see'  probley will not happen in the way we think.

just think, in 1995 would you think the OSX would be as good as it is or that apple would have such a great turn around? orm the OSS/Linux would be as strong as it is?

 

I think people want a couple of things;

1) Access to there data, and by that I mean read and write and assurance of there data.

2)access to there software, and by that I mean everything; there online banking, online videos, local software whatever.

 

 

And, I think with sliverlight, being available on all three platforms and even flash is now kinda support on all three. the future looks good. and with standards coming down the

Pike for all things like office (odf/ooxml) its a good thing. 

 

I think device, software, and *service* integration are where everything is going. where you have a device, that sync's/intergrates with your desktop which in turn also syncs to

a web service of some kind. is more or less the future model.

 

and the future desktop, is the one that provides those services to the masses.....

I was going to add my comments to the 'talkback' but there where already some there that called this article for what is.
FUD,

and a very poor article from a respected site. it's very sad. that these sites dont vet out there articles more.
this, article is so full of it, it's just not funny. and it's articles, like this that keep the antiVista FUD going by feeding the flames.

sure,
Vista is not perfect, but *overall* it's a big improvement over XP, and; XP *did* have *more* hardware requirement's then 2000 did. and thats a fact,
so reason stands that vista will have more requirements then XP. and Vista has a totally different driver model, whereAS XP used the same one that 2000 and NT did. so of course it will take the many hardware venders some time to catch up.

and as far as security goes, there are many many changes most of them are under the hood. and most of them are good. and you can not start saying microsoft copyed becuase let me clue you in for some news. the entire IT industry copys from itself, which is good becuase that's how some of the standards get arround. things like ctrl + C and ctrl + V that work on Linux.

sure, i love to bash MS when they deserve it. but a blanket bash with no facts or reasons is just pathetic.

Linux "winning the desktop"

I see lot of articals and "posts" about how microsoft the great beast will fall, and how the golden halo 'Linux' will

win the day. as much as I like Linux/FreeBsd etc, this is not going to happen in the near future. sure, Linux is making great

improvemnts on the desktop, both Gnome and KDE are doing some really great things, but that does not change the fact that

microsoft and 'Windows' will own the desktop for the forseeable future. but;

 

:)

 

as, time goes on, and technologys like silverlight which are cross platform, and such and things are more "webized"

things may change, but for now many many companys and bissness have tons of windows based software that can not be run on

Linux.

Microsoft, Linux, GPLv3 and the future...

Haven't posted in a while,

 

I see alot of posts recently about Microsoft and GPLv3, and how it somehow "hooked"  'the great beast'.

This is so not true, you can read massive posts about it on Slashdot and OSnews and even Groklaw. Some how;

some people have this sort of fantasy where Microsoft just sort of implodes or falls down dead one day. At best its wishfull thinking

at worst its mental.  I am all for criticizing Microsoft where its needed, and on *how* that comes back like improved security and OOXML.

and when Microsoft does something well, Like Visual studio or .NET we should stand up and say so.

 

Now, dont get me wrong. I like Linux/FreeBSD but I just dont think one day we will wake up and there will be no

Microsoft. In the enterprise world Microsoft is pretty entrenched, and for good reasons. A windows 2003 domain,

and well seup desktops are pretty nice to manage. not to mention the loads of 3rd party tools and software that all intergrates

into AD. sure, Nix can do it, *but* nix has always been more focused on the server side. and it shows. for an enterprise setup

where desktops, etc come into play. AD *is* pretty nice. and thats not to mention all the windows based apps that enterpise

folks need that they cant get on Nix. stuff like Photoshop, Visio,  autoCAD etc are all windows only.

 

I my work we have *tons* of nix, but its all server stuff.  none on the desktop, all the desktops are Windows.

 

Not only these things; *but* Microsoft with every version *is* getting better. Something the OSS folks are not even realizing.

becuase many of the *most* hardcore OSS/Linux/bsd.ers are very behind in their Microsoft Knoweldge, and refer to stuff that was NT or windows 98. not XP or even vista or 2003 server.

 

Personally, I love vmware and Virtual machines. they are *the* way in the future. I can have a Basic host machine that i some my most basic stuff on.  then, i can have VMs (Virtual machines) for each task, example: vm for Visual studio 2003 and a VM for VS2k5, and a VM for a freeBSD and a VM for Linux. ALL on the same machine.

 

This is much better, and I can back up my VMs witha copy and paste or a job that backs them up. not if a VM has issues I just restore

a clean copy. simple.

 

 

with large Hard drives, and massive ram this is the future.

 

 

 

my take....

Windows security,

I see lots of posts online involving Windows security. And, some are not that flatering. but the truth be told, Windows Security has a lot to offer. like:
you have local and domain Policys and can not only help secure your machine. but control, which rights users have inlcuding 'access this computer form the network'

The right 'access this computer form the network' by defualt has 'everyone' in it. if you remove this right then no-one can connect to your PC, even if you turn the firewall off.

windows main problem is """backwards compatibility"""" Microsoft has the best backwards compatibility of any vender. now on one hand thats a good thing, on the other: it can be bad, as design descions you made 20 years ago when security was a different game come back to haunt you. :)

malware:

alot gets said, about windows and malware/Virus's. some say, well its cuz windows is more populer. And others say cuz windows is full of holes.

I think the truth is a little of both and then some:
for one, I think Windows *IS* the biggest target by far not only that, windows has very strong compatibility. And that makes windows very very desireable too write and research malware for.

in addition to that, there are pretty good tools *for* writting malware and Virus's on Windows. and with backwards compatibility ensuring your new shiny code will run on every box. you can see why is this a problem.

now on Vitsa, Microsoft has UAC which wil help alot with this. I am sure there will be updates to UAC. as all the feedback goes into microsft. and then they will work on some updates to it. we will have to see what happens in the future.


a secure working enviroment:
if as a user you wanted a secure working enviroment. you have a pretty good machine say a core2 with 2 GB ram.

*make sure you dont have your machine directly connected to the internet use a router of some kind

*use a webmail service for email: like yahoo,gmail or hotmail.

* stay away from untrusted stuff and sites.

*use antivirus and 100% updated at all times

*make sure your machine is 100% patched.

*use some of the security stuff that comes with windows, like: in local security Policy, access this computer from then network' and remove all groups and users except administrators. also set a password to your account and to administrator and all other accounts you create.

*in local security policy set auditing to at least fialures for all policys.

*install virtualPC 2007, and install XP or 2k in it that you had before, once you have a solid setup. make a copy of it. do not save anything in this VM(virtual machine) use this for stuff thats questionable, if it blows up your PC, delete the VM and restore the copy, simple. :)

*do not install anything on your PC, no google bar or anthing thing. all those search bars and all kinds of crap you have. who knows where it comes from and some of them are infested.

Vista Part 2

In this 2nd part about Vista, we will talk about how vista is different and to "use" Vista in the manner it was designed. Fist of all, UAC was designed for 2 Phases. phase 1 is configuration phase, that is when you will and should see allot of UAC popups. Phase 2, is the user phase, you *should* see very little or no UAC popups, if you do then either your doing something wrong or the app, function your doing requires admin. and in that case: it may be different.

 

the 2nd thing is the home directory, you may notice that there is no more "my documents" there is now just a home directory and that has a documents folder in it. this is alot better, and more Unixy.  So, you work from your home directory.

 

ram and ram cache, in Vista ram works very differently then in XP or win2k. Vista will cache aka prefetch stuff for you. so it will be using far more ram upon appearance then in XP. and that's Ok really....

 

make sure you have about 1 GB of ram or more for vista, on my VM images i set it to 768 and it was fine, i also have a workstation on 1GB of ram and it likewise is fine.

 

you can customise the GUI in advanced properties, for either best performance or best look, if you choose best performance the last check box allows for aero.

 

 

thats it for now.

Vista Part 1

This is the First in a multi part post about "Vista".  let start of with, "what is Vista?"

and to answer that: Its Microsoft's New Desktop Operating System.

 

Some people claim that Vista is just XPsp3 that can't be farther from the case. As much as there, maybe

things that annoy people about vista. The truth is: vista has alot of major work done "under the hood"

 

that is to say: things like driver framework running in userspace, superfetch, UAC, and improved kernel. are all major factors.

 

Is Vista, a 100% secure 100% bullet proof OS? no becuase no OS is. but: Vista is an improvement over XP just as XP was an improvement

over 2000.  and that is what people need to look at. and as Vista moves along, vender driver support and application support will get better.

 

 

and if you look at the history of Computers no OS, started out prefect. mainframes nowadays are are considered secure and really really stable.
