Linux Softwares

Linux Softwares

Software is what makes the system work. Without software, a computer system would be useless. We cover
important software issues here, and how small programs found on remote Web sites can solve most of your
problems.

Tip 1: Background image in X Window

By default, the background in X Window is a grey background. Some window managers have their own
options to set other backgrounds, and some don't.

Linux Networking

Linux Networking

Linux is a networking operating system. Even so, problems related to networking are not uncommon. PPP
dialup can be hard to setup, local network IP address issues can be hard to understand. We try to solve most
common problems here with tips on how to make your networking and Internet experience a good one.

Tip 1: Easy PPP dialup

By default, most Linux distributions come with text-based configuration files and console menu-based
configuration programs for PPP dialup. Often, this simply isn't enough for most new users.

Installation is a very important part of any operating system.  The next

Post covers both of these aspects.

Tip 1: Which distribution is good for you

They are all good. But that's not a real tip. What you should be looking for is which distribution you feel the
most comfortable with.

Linux Hardware

Linux Hardware

Hardware support has once been a very big problem with Linux. Generic hardware always was well
supported, but most of the hardware today is unfortunately non-generic. 100% Sound Blaster compatible
cards often are not detected by the Sound Blaster driver, and non-PostScript printers don't accept PostScript
input unless a program previously converted it. These are the kind of problems we solve here.

Linux Development

Linux Development

A standard Linux system comes with many compilers and interpreters
for a lot of languages. We cover most of them, and will see tips and tricks on how to use them for small
scripts or powerful applications.

Tip 1: Graphical messages to the world

Often we write shell scripts and at one point we would like to display messages
