What is Ubuntu(Linux Kernel)?

Toady i am going to give basic information all about Ubuntu.Ubuntu is one of the cleanest and most widely used Linux distribution, well-suited for average users. You don’t need to be a labeled Geek to install and use Ubuntu. It’s quite easy to get along with it – you would love it from the first sight!

Ubuntu Desktop

Below is an easy tutorial that’ll help you to install Ubuntu on your PC. Before you move on, it’s recommended that you go through the official system requirements.

Basic Requirements

• 1 GHz x86 processor

• 1GB of system memory (RAM)

• 15GB of hard-drive space (although this can be split onto 2 drives, a 5Gb / and a 10Gb /home fairly easily)

• Graphics card and monitor capable of 1024 by 768

• Either a CD/DVD Drive or a USB port (or both)

Just in case your PC doesn’t have it all for Ubuntu, there’s a minimalist version – Xubuntu. It runs on as low as 128MB RAM and 2GB of drive space. So if you’ve got those decades old boxes anywhere in your home, you can bring them back to life.

Let’s Begin – Installation

As expected the first step is to burn the ISO to the CD or you can get in pen drive also. Download the ISO from download link give below. You can use tools such as Free iso or cd burner by clicking here

Click here to download

to easily burn it onto a disc. In case you don’t fancy discs, you can even use Universal installer link mentioned below to use a Flash Drive instead!

Click here for download

Once you have the required LiveCD/USB in your hands, just boot it up and get going with the installation. Different systems have different keys to select a boot device on start (for me it’s F8). If you have difficulty in finding the key then directly get into the BIOS and look for “Boot Devices” and set things accordingly.

Things are all set and you’re ready to roll. Boot the device and Ubuntu flash-screen would appear shortly. You’d get a bunch of options as shown below:

Ubuntu Welcome Screen

Choose your language and proceed to “Install Ubuntu”. If you want to try it out before installing, you can use the “Try Ubuntu” option as well.

Preparation is the next step of the process, plug in your charger, connect to internet (for downloading updates) and check you have at least 2.6GB of free space on your drive for basic Ubuntu install.

Ubuntu Install Preparation

And you can also install Ubuntu by pen drive just you need is a software you can download her by clicking

Click here to download

Moving on towards diskspace allocation, you can choose between installing Ubuntu alongside your existing OS (for instance, Windows), installing Ubuntu on a complete hard-drive or choosing the partition manually.

Make your choice and proceed. Follow the rest of on-screen instructions, they’re written in human language for your convenience.

Ubuntu Basics

The biggest fear of all Ubuntu-switchers is that being a supporter of the Tux, they’ll have to struggle to get software that were easily available on their previous OS. This is true that most of the mainstream softwares aren’t available for Ubuntu but at the same time, there are alternatives. Using the Ubuntu Softare Center, you can easily look for applications that you require. For example,Photosop can be substituted by GIMP,Microsoft by OpenOffice, MS Paint by KolourPaint, etc.

Ubuntu comes pre-installed with Open office. It supports a wide variety of formats, the OpenOffice formats being the default ones. It has Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Presentation & Formula in the default package.

Ubuntu being an open-source project has lot of applications for free which would cost you on other OS like windows By switching to Ubuntu you’ll be saving a significant amount of money that was meant to be spent on security programs, office suites, etc.

Ubuntu Software Center

My Experience with Ubuntu

The motivation to switch to Ubuntu permanently and use it as the default OS came to me trhough Microsoft Windows Well, it’s the most widely used OS and is supported by all the softwares and Games in the market and the hardwares too, but I just find it not upto the mark. The worst problem is viruses. You have lots of them on Windows. Then the usual crashes and hangs. I was just fed up enough to say goodbye to it forever.

I’m in Love with Ubuntu: its GNOME GUI, Productive applications, virus-free environment and smooth functioning. Ubuntu’s start up and shut down speed is remarkable! For me it takes exactly 3 seconds to shut it down, which might go like more than 20 seconds on Windows

Talking about bugs, I haven’t found any yet. There are updates to the OS every week and there’s a supportive community to help you out if you need assistance.

Ubuntu supports multiple workspaces. In other terms, it’s like having multiple desktops. They’re four by default and can be increased or decreased according to your whims. It is highly customizable with the GNOME GUI. You can add panels, hook your favorite applications right in front of your eyes and add shotcuts.

Customised Panel

Ubuntu One – Cloud Storage

Ubuntu One is a personal cloud storage service provided by Ubuntu. It comes bundled with the new version of Ubuntu 10.10. With Ubuntu One, you can sync your music, files, notes, contacts, etc with the server and access it from any Computer. This can also be used to make backups of important documents which will be securely stored and can be retrieved from anywhere in the world in the presence of an Internet connection.

Multimedia & Entertainment

Ubuntu has Rhythmbox Music Player, Ptivi Editor & Movie Player pre-installed. Good additions from the Ubuntu Softare Center would be:

• Audacity – Audio Editor
• OpenShot Video Editor – Easily Create Movies & Edit Videos
• Last.fm – Listen to Online Music
  
• Miro Internet – Watch Online TV
  
• Cheese Webcam Booth – Use your Webcam with additional Effects

There are many good Gamesavailable for Linux too! In case you want to play other platform Games on Linux, such as that of Widows – you can use PlayOnLinux application to do so.

Missing Windows?

Applications such as PlayOnLinux, Wine & Crossover let you run your Windows softwares and Games on Linux, without the need of separately installed Windows OS. You can just get these applications and try your favorite Windows softwares with them.

What’s next?

Head over to the Ubuntu SoftwareCenter and explore the possibilities. Have fun with Ubuntu!

wait for next post i will post about the top allication and to use ubuntu in windows without formating

Shutdown Computer From Mobile Using PHP

In the Internet there are some tutorials about shutting down a computer from a mobile phone.But, in this tutorial we'll check out a way to shutdown a computer from a mobile phone using PHP.For those who don't know PHP, it is a scripting language in simple words.We are PHP as it is a server side scripting language,platform independent and open source.That means we don't have to worry about whether the system runs on Windows or Linux.The procedure is really simple.All we have to do is to set up a server on the computer with PHP and execute system command to shutdown the computer.

We'll use XAMPP to set up the server.Believe me it is too easy.

Go to xampp home page.Download the available package (installer or zip archive).

Now,follow the instruction given on their site to install the server.Actually installation is just unzipping the archive to a directory.The installation will take just around 2 minute.

2.PHP code

• After installing XAMPP, just open up XAMPP directory.Then you will locate htdocsshutdown. folder.Open that and create a new directory/folder.You can name it anything you want.Suppose the name of the new folder is
• Open the newly created folder shutdown and create a new file with index.php extension.
• Now open up index.php file and place the nice little code if you run windows.
echo 'Shutting down'; exec("shutdown -s -t 30"); //30 means shutdown after 30 seconds ?> 

3.Creating URL

Go to no-ip.com and register a free sub-domain and point it to the the following
and click for freee it will mail you

http://YOUR-IP-ADDRESS/shutdown/



To find out your ip address just visit any site like http://checkmyip.com/.
