100 of the Best (Useful) OpenSource Applications | Ubuntu Linux Help The following is a list of about 100 of the best OpenSource Applications, that actually help make Linux more usable for people. It is my hope that this list shows potential Linux users that there really is a large, effective, productive and usable range of free, OpenSource applications. The majority of these applications can be installed by either apt-get or synaptic, however I’ve included the web site addresses of these applications so that you can obtain more information. This list took a long time to put together and I tried to keep it in alphabetical order for you. – You might want to bookmark this and come back later. Enjoy!

How to enable exFAT in Ubuntu Today’s modern filesystems were built with spinning-disk hard drives in mind. This is true for Linux’s Ext2/3/4 Windows’ NTFS and server filesystems like XFS and ZFS. And of course so was the original FAT though it wasn’t so much optimised more simply being one of the first filesystems designed to address magnetic media. However it’s the simplicity of FAT that makes it attractive for the new generation of storage mediums based on flash memory. Usually flash memory devices (think SD/memory cards and USB keys) don’t have the fastest interfaces to the computer and any overhead a filesystem introduces simply slows it down. FAT has its limitations of course which is why Microsoft’s extended FAT32 is the de-facto for flash storage providing the ability to address up to 2TB using traditional 512-byte sectors while maintaining the simplicity and speed of FAT. exFAT is faster than FAT32 and does a better job of maintaining speed with large volumes of files.

How To Look Like A UNIX Guru Terence Parr Last updated: August 30, 2006 Translations: UNIX is an extremely popular platform for deploying server software partly because of its security and stability, but also because it has a rich set of command line and scripting tools. If you want to be a serious server developer, you will need to have a certain facility with a number of UNIX tools; about 15. This lecture takes you through the basic commands and then shows you how to combine them in simple patterns or idioms to provide sophisticated functionality like histogramming. [By the way, this page gets a lot of attention on the net and unfortunately I get mail from lots of people that have better solutions or stuff I should add. Everything is a stream The first thing you need to know is that UNIX is based upon the idea of a stream. Here is an example device, the null device, that lets you throw output away. $ ls > /dev/null # ignore output of ls where "# ignore output of ls" is a comment. $ ls -l | grep Aug | wc -l Getting help

DotShare.it Linux-drivers.org - Linux Hardware Compatibility Lists & Linux Drivers tutorial > Linux Reviews > A beginners guide to Linux for those with little or no computer experience. Linux is a free Unix-type operating system for computer devices. The operating system is what makes the hardware work together with the software. The OS is the interface that allows you to do the things you want with your computer. Linux is freely available to everyone. Linux gives you a graphical interface that makes it easy to use your computer, yet it still allows those with know-how to change settings by adjusting 0 to 1. It is only the kernel that is named Linux, the rest of the OS are GNU tools. Linux is made with one thought in mind: Everything is a file. A blank piece of paper is called a file in the world of computers. If you make many drawings then you will eventually want to sort them in different piles or make some other system that allows you to easily locate a given drawing. A file is an element of data storage in a file system (file systems manual page). For more details, check out:
Debugging Tools for Windows This is the place to get your Windows Driver Kit (WDK, formerly DDK) and WinDbg downloads, including the Windows 7 release of the Debugging Tools for Windows, which works for Windows XP and Windows Vista. The debugging tools are included in the WDK, but you can also download the standalone versions separately here. The WDK has the tools you need to develop drivers. WDK 8.1 Update is integrated into Visual Studio 2013 and gives you most of the tools you need for developing, building, packaging, testing, and debugging drivers. Not sure which kit to use? Visual Studio 2013 Start by downloading Visual Studio 2013. WDK 8.1 Update (for Windows 8.1, 8, and 7 drivers) Download the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 8.1 Update, which has tools to build, test, debug, and deploy drivers for Windows 8.1 Update, 8.1, 8, and 7.

NumericAndScientific/Plotting Over the years many different plotting modules and packages have been developed for Python. For most of that time there was no clear favorite package, but recently matplotlib has become the most widely used. Nevertheless, many of the others are still available and may suit your tastes or needs better. Some of these are interfaces to existing plotting libraries while others are Python-centered new implementations. Matplotlib is an Open Source plotting library designed to support interactive and publication quality plotting with a syntax familiar to Matlab users. Its interactive mode supports multiple windowing toolkits (currently: GTK, Tkinter, Qt, and wxWindows) as well as multiple noninteractive backends (PDF, postscript, SVG, antigrain geometry, and Cairo).
Dual-Boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu in Perfect Harmony Windows 7 and Ubuntu, despite their opposing missions, can get along like best pals on a single computer. Here's how to set up a dual boot system that lets you enjoy the best of both worlds in perfect harmony. By default, Windows 7 takes over your boot-up process and wants to be your only OS, and Linux treats Windows like a weekend hobby you keep in a shed somewhere on your hard drive. But I've been dual-booting Ubuntu and some version of Windows 7 for nearly a year, and I've learned a lot about inconveniences, annoyances, and file-sharing necessities, and now I'll walk you through how to set up your systems to achieve a peaceful union of your dual-boot OSes. (Both with Windows 7 already installed, and with a clean system ready for a new dual-OS existence.) Follow through this guide, and I'll explain how to rebuild a system from the ground up with Windows 7 and Ubuntu, with either a backed-up and cleaned-out hard drive (recommended) or Windows 7 already installed. What you'll need
Installing the latest Wine on Ubuntu Installing WineHQ packages If you have previously installed a Wine package from another repository, please remove it and any packages that depend on it (e.g., wine-mono, wine-gecko, winetricks) before attempting to install the WineHQ packages, as they may cause dependency conflicts. If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already): sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 Add the repository: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds Update packages: sudo apt-get update Then install (example for the development branch): sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel If you prefer to use the Staging branch, replace `winehq-devel` with `winehq-staging` in the line above. If apt-get complains about missing dependencies, install them, then repeat the last two steps (update and install). If you have previously used the distro packages, you will notice some differences in the WineHQ ones: Files are installed to /opt/wine-devel. Installing without Internet Compiling WoW64
Linux Linux ( History[edit] Antecedents[edit] With AT&T being required to license the operating system's source code to anyone who asked (due to an earlier antitrust case forbidding them from entering the computer business),[23] Unix grew quickly and became widely adopted by academic institutions and businesses. In 1984, AT&T divested itself of Bell Labs. Linus Torvalds has said that if the GNU kernel had been available at the time (1991), he would not have decided to write his own.[26] Although not released until 1992 due to legal complications, development of 386BSD, from which NetBSD, OpenBSD and FreeBSD descended, predated that of Linux. MINIX, initially released in 1987, is an inexpensive minimal Unix-like operating system, designed for education in computer science, written by Andrew S. Creation[edit] In 1991, while attending the University of Helsinki, Torvalds became curious about operating systems[28] and frustrated by the licensing of MINIX, which limited it to educational use only.
