			<description><![CDATA[Linux Shortcuts and Commands 



Switch to the first text terminals. Under Linux you can have several (6 in standard setup) terminals opened at the same time. This is a keyboard shortcut, which means: "press the control key and the alt key, hold them. Now press . Release all keys."


 (n=1..6)
Switch to the nth text terminal. (The same could be accomplished with the rarely used command chvt n. "chvt" stands for "change virtual terminal"). In text terminal (outside X), you can also use  (the key  is not needed). 


tty
Print the name of the terminal in which you are typing this command. If you prefer the number of the active terminal (instead of its name), it can be printed using the command fgconsole (="foreground console").



Switch to the first GUI terminal (if X-windows is running on the 7th terminal, where it typcially is).


 (n=7..12)
Switch to the nth GUI terminal (if a GUI terminal is running on screen n-1). On default, the first X server is running on terminal 7. On default, nothing is running on terminals 8 to 12--you can start subsequent X server there.



(In a text or X terminal) Autocomplete the command if there is only one option, or else show all the available options. On newer systems you may need to press . THIS SHORTCUT IS GREAT, it can truely save you lots of time.



(In a text or X terminal) Scroll and edit the command history. Press  to execute a historical command (to save on typing).  scrolls back.



Scroll terminal output up. This works also at the login prompt, so you can scroll through your bootup messages. The amount/usage of your video memory determines how far back you can scroll the display.  scrolls the terminal output down.



(in X-windows) Change to the next X-server resolution (if you set up the X-server to more than one resolution). For multiple resolutions on my standard SVGA card/monitor, I have the following line in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config (the first resolution starts on default, the largest resolution determines the size of the "virtual screen"):
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "512x384" "480x300" "400x300" "1152x864"Z
Of course, first I had to configure the X server, either by using Xconfigurator, xf86config, or manually by edition the file /etc/X11/XF86Config, so that it supports the above resolutions (mostly the matter of uncommenting the line that defines my video chipset, and specifying the synchronization frequencies my monitor supports). XFdrake (Mandrake configuration utility) can do it from GUI. See also the commands xvidtune and xvidgen.



(in X-windows) Change to the previous X-server resolution.



(in X-windows, KDE) Kill the window I am going to click with my mouse pointer (the pointer changes to something like a death symbol). Similar result can be obtained with the command xkill (typed in X-terminal). Useful when an X-window program does not want to close (hangs?).



(in X-windows) Kill the current X-windows server. Use if the X-windows server cannot be exited normally.



(in text terminal) Shut down the system and reboot. This is the normal shutdown command for a user at the text-mode console. Don't just press the "reset" button for shutdown!


c
Kill the current process (works mostly with small text-mode applications).


d
(pressed at the beginning of an empty line) Log out from the current terminal. See also the next command.


d
Send [End-of-File] to the current process. Don't press it twice else you also log out (see the previous command).


s
Stop the transfer to the terminal.


q
Resume the transfer to the terminal. Try if your terminal mysteriously stops responding. See the previous command.


z
Send the current process to the background.


exit
Logout. I can also use logout for the same effect. (If you have started a second shell, e.g., using bash, this command will make you exit the second shell, and you will be back in the first shell, not logged out. Then use another exit to logout.)


reset
Restore a screwed-up terminal (a terminal showing funny characters) to default setting. Use if you tried to "cat" a binary file. You may not be able to see the command as you type it, but it still will work.



Paste the text which is currently highlighted somewhere else. This is the normal "copy-paste" operation in Linux. It a fast and powerful supplement to the widely-known GUI "copy-paste" menu-based operation. (It doesn't work inside older versions of Netscape which use the Mac/MS Windows-style "copy-paste" exclusively. It does work in the text terminal if you enabled "gpm" service using "setup". It also works inside any dialog boxes, etc.--really convenient!) It is best used with a Linux-ready 3-button mouse (Logitech or similar) or else set "3-mouse button emulation". The  is normally emulated on a 2-button mouse by pressing both mouse buttons simultanously.


~
(tilde character) My home directory (normally the directory /home/my_login_name). For example, the command cd ~/my_dir will change my working directory to the subdirectory "my_dir" under my home directory. Typing just "cd" alone is an equivalent of the command "cd ~". I keep all my files in my home directory.


.
(dot) Current directory. For example, ./my_program will attempt to execute the file "my_program" located in your current working directory.


..
(two dots) Directory parent to the current one. For example, the command cd .. will change my current working directory one one level up.


Some additional KDE keyboard shortcuts (useful, but non-essential)
 Walk through windows. To walk backwards: 
 Walk through desktops. To walks backwards: 
 Show the table of processes running on my system. Allow me to kill any of the processes I started (or send other signals to them).
 Access the K-menu ("Equivalent to MS Windows "Start" menu).
 Emulate the mouse using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
 Drag a window to move it. Normally, I move a window by dragging its top title bar, but occassionally I manage to get it off the screen. With this shortcut, I can drag by any part of the window.
 Take a snapshot of the current window into the clipboard.
 Take a snapshot of the entire desktop into the clipboard.
 Lock the desktop.
 Toggle hide/show the desktop (great to hide the Solitaire game when your boss walks in).



(Non-essential.) This is a group of key combinations implemented at the Linux kernel level (a low level). It means, chances are these key combinations will work most of the time. The combinations are meant for debugging purposes and in an emergency (mostly developers); you should try other, safer solutions first. The key  is also knows on PC as . The combinations can be enabled/disabled by setting the relevant kernel variable to "1" or "0", e.g. : echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
 Kill all processes (including X) which are running on the currently active virtual console. This key combination is know as "secure access key" (SAK).
 Send the TERM signal to all running processes except init, asking them to exit.
 Send the KILL signal to all running processes except init. This may be more successful in killing runaway processes than the previous key combination, but it may cause some of them to exit abnormally.
 Send the KILL signal to all processes, including init. The system will not be functional.
 Run an emergency sync (cache write) on all mounted filesystems. This can prevent data loss.
 Remount all mounted filesystems as read-only. This has the same effect as the sync combination above, but with one important benefit: if the operation is successful, fsck won't have to check all filesystems after a computer hardware reset.
 Turn off keyboard raw mode. This can be useful when your X session hangs. After issueing this command you may be able to use .
 Reboot immediately without syncing or unmounting your disks. Your will likely end up with filesystem errors.
 Shut the system off (if configured and supported).
 Dump the current registers and flags to your console.
 Dump a list of current tasks and their information to your console.
 Dump memory info to your console.
SysRq> The digit is '0' to '9'. Set the console log level, controlling which kernel messages will be printed to your console. For example, '0' will cause only emergency messages like PANICs or OOPSes displayed on your console.
 Display help. Also, any other unsupported  combination will display the same help.

Please add more if any one is remaining..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ever since Microsoft’s PDC two weeks ago there has been a lot of Windows 7 news floating around the web. Microsoft has a lot of the OS on display and they even let select parties have access to an early build. This early build, number 6801, is pre-beta, but have some features (locked and unlocked) that are in the later releases. Windows 7 will not officially beta until some time in early 2009, but we have been playing around with it for a little while now and wanted to put up some video of it in action.

In this article we will just be focusing on certain aspects of the OS. For a great overview of Windows 7 you can check out this FAQ. In case you are curious, we have been testing with Windows 7 Ultimate.

First off, there are some UI changes. The Ribbon UI (from Office 2007) has been added to Paint and Wordpad. Additionally, the calculator was upgraded. So nothing too huge, but some nice incremental updates.

So far the change in Windows 7 that has generated the most press has been the Superbar. This is actually locked in build 6801, probably because it’s still in its very early stages, but someone figured out how to unlock it. Once it’s unlocked you can see that it’s flashy and functional, but not that different from the standard taskbar. The version on display at PDC was improved and it should be even better before the beta, once it’s closer to being finished.

Everyone has also been talking about Windows 7 landing on netbooks. After all, Microsoft’s solution for netbooks has been to put XP on them and that just won’t do once the new OS is out (XP will be about eight years old at that point). So we loaded 7 up on Lenovo’s IdeaPad S10. The installation went extremely smoothly, but I had a bit of trouble with WiFi down the road, some tinkering would probably solve this, but more examination is necessary. Aside from this, preliminary testing went through without incident. At idle there were 33 processes running and physical memory usage was 41% of the system’s 1GB.

Here are videos of the netbook booting up and shutting down:

As you can see, it’s not breaking any record but the times were reasonable. The computer navigated the operating system without any major slowdowns and though it felt sluggish during the installation of Flash it played Hulu.com videos perfectly, with CPU utilization floating between 30-40% (tested over ethernet). Windows 7 worked even better on the Fujitsu P8010, which has a bit more power under the hood.

Windows 7 is still in pre-beta so it’s much too early to make any judgement calls. Casual use of 6801 does not reveal many signficant changes from Vista, but they are there. Some are locked, most aren’t noticeable during general activity, and some we probably don’t know about yet. We do know that that we have an interesting year ahead of us! We should have some more testing and video one we’ve spent some more time with it.]]></description>

Windows 7 will not officially beta until some time in early 2009, but we have been playing around with it for a little while now and wanted to put up some video of it in action.

In this article we will just be focusing on certain aspects of the OS. For a great overview of Windows 7 you can check out this FAQ. In case you are curious, we have been testing with Windows 7 Ultimate.

First off, there are some UI changes. The Ribbon UI (from Office 2007) has been added to Paint and Wordpad. Additionally, the calculator was upgraded. So nothing too huge, but some nice incremental updates.

So far the change in Windows 7 that has generated the most press has been the Superbar. This is actually locked in build 6801, probably because it’s still in its very early stages, but someone figured out how to unlock it. Once it’s unlocked you can see that it’s flashy and functional, but not that different from the standard taskbar. The version on display at PDC was improved and it should be even better before the beta, once it’s closer to being finished.

Everyone has also been talking about Windows 7 landing on netbooks. After all, Microsoft’s solution for netbooks has been to put XP on them and that just won’t do once the new OS is out (XP will be about eight years old at that point). So we loaded 7 up on Lenovo’s IdeaPad S10. The installation went extremely smoothly, but I had a bit of trouble with WiFi down the road, some tinkering would probably solve this, but more examination is necessary. Aside from this, preliminary testing went through without incident. At idle there were 33 processes running and physical memory usage was 41% of the system’s 1GB.

Here are videos of the netbook booting up and shutting down:

As you can see, it’s not breaking any record but the times were reasonable. The computer navigated the operating system without any major slowdowns and though it felt sluggish during the installation of Flash it played Hulu.com videos perfectly, with CPU utilization floating between 30-40% (tested over ethernet). Windows 7 worked even better on the Fujitsu P8010, which has a bit more power under the hood.

Windows 7 is still in pre-beta so it’s much too early to make any judgement calls. Casual use of 6801 does not reveal many signficant changes from Vista, but they are there. Some are locked, most aren’t noticeable during general activity, and some we probably don’t know about yet. We do know that that we have an interesting year ahead of us! We should have some more testing and video one we’ve spent some more time with it.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[The fight between Windows and Linux has been nearly as overhyped as a Don King venture in a monster Vegas arena, screaming fans included. In one corner, hard-core Microsoft fans avow Windows Seven as the comeback kid of the new century, rising above all previous problems with Windows Vista. In the other, Linux boosters claim the open-source operating system is poised to power the enterprise from stem to stern, trash-talking Microsoft's bloated code and licensing gotchas along the way. 

The truth, unfortunately, is far less dramatic. The real battles take place in smaller venues, where Windows wins sometimes and Linux pulls off its share of victories with little fanfare. 

Those looking for blood are bound to be disappointed, as the two would-be combatants increasingly make an effort to play nice. For instance, although it has been possible to share files to Windows clients from Linux servers via Samba for years, only recently has integration with Active Directory been solid. Domain integration has always worked, but it was occasionally tenuous and difficult to administer. No more. 

On the Windows side, the release of Microsoft Services for Unix 3.5 has shown that Redmond is providing some semblance of integration with modern Unix systems. SFU's network information service and network file system services are reasonably complete, and its Unix tool set even includes Perl and the Korn shell. In fact, these tools will be officially distributed with Windows Seven. 

Rather than force all network services onto a single platform, most enterprises are implementing Linux servers in key areas. Although this trend is not exactly new, the areas served are changing. Any smart IT manager with carte blanche to design a new network should include both Windows and Linux as major players. 

Historically, if a few Linux servers existed in a Windows network, they were orphans handling a single task that had little relation to the services provided by Windows. Today, Samba 3 provides true integration with Active Directory, making it easy to configure directory-authenticated Linux Web servers, FTP servers, file servers and especially database and network management services. 

Conversely, stability improvements on the Microsoft side and Active Directory's reliance on the Domain Name System make the case for Windows servers to handle DNS and DHCP tasks. Although it's certainly possible to run an Active Directory environment with Linux providing the DNS and DHCP services, it's not as easy to manage.ds/2009/03/newbie1.jpg&usg=AFQjCNFgakplFOYDD65HVM-RMAAC4YEk_w[/img]]]></description>

I am purchasing the vista home premium or ultimate this two days, I am getting the oem version from newegg with the win 7 coupon. My question is will it solve vista memory usage issues, the windows 7 rc that i have is fast and runs efficiently, however in ancient times when i used the upgrade option from 98se to xp, it was kinda crappy had 98se problems and xp problems. I put the service packs on my cousins computer , and vista is still a bit of a resource hog, anyone in the know? 

Thanks in advance,]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi guys,
Windows 7 addresses the growing desire for application control solutions in the enterprise with the introduction of AppLocker: a simple and flexible mechanism that allows administrators to specify exactly what is allowed to run in their desktop environment. As a result, AppLocker provides not only security protections, but also operational and compliance benefits by:
* Keeping unlicensed software from running in your desktop environment
* Preventing vulnerable, unauthorized applications from running in your desktop environment, including malware
* Stopping users from running applications that needlessly consume network bandwidth or otherwise impact the enterprise computing environment
* Preventing users from running applications that destabilize their desktop environment and increase help desk support costs
