Why use Linux?

Posted 02-15-2014 at 03:33 AM by exton (Exton's Blog)

I found something memorable about Linux on the Internet. I reproduce it here. The author is unknown to me.

: () { : | : & } ; :

We tell people we use Linux because it's secure. Or because it's free, because it's customizable, because it's free (the other meaning), because it has excellent community support...

exGENT 2014 (Gentoo) 32 bit with Gnome 3.10 and kernel 3.13.2-gentoo-exton

Posted 02-13-2014 at 08:46 AM by exton (Exton's Blog)

NEWS 20140212
I’ve made yet a new version (140212) of exGENT 2014. Now with Gnome 3.10. It is for the 32 bit architecture. I call it exGENT 2014 Gnome Live DVD. It replaces version 20130423 of exGENT, which had Cinnamon as Desktop environment. Cinnamon is no longer “needed” since Gnome version 3.10 has everything that Cinnamon has (and more). Version 140212 of exGENT uses kernel 3.13.2. (The latest stable kernel from Kernel.org). Study the LIST of all installed packages.

If you want to contact me you can do so on my blog The VPN Guru - http://thevpn.guru

Hey there

Heard about jingle, the add on for XMPP that enables point to point audio between to XMPP clients. No server config necessary. Actually quite cool feature. However, how good is it if you can not use those voice capabilities to do a PSTN phone cal, or call some SIP device you have. Well that aint the purpose of Jingle anyhow. So other tools can do that including Asterisk and...

Geekbench

Posted 02-05-2014 at 04:04 PM by ttk (Unpopular Positions: One Geek's Take)

Because none of us have infinite time and money to throw at our computer hardware, it's nice to be able to look at a benchmark and gauge whether it's worth it to spend a little extra cash at a more powerful CPU, or one with a different memory subsystem, or a solid state disk, etc.

For this, we have system benchmarks.

For a system benchmark to be useful to a person, it must measure the system's capability to perform the kinds of tasks that person needs their system to...
