This is part one of a two part article about a “real life” control system that is a candidate for moving to a VM on Linux. This control system is being used right now in a real manufacturing facility. Last year in February I wrote the article “Windows 98? Linux and VirtualBox! (Maybe)“. It is . . . → Read More: Virtual Control – Linux, VirtualBox and OS/2 or eComStation  This article is a rebuttal to Michael Gartenberg’s Opinion: Linux on the desktop: Still not happening over at Computerworld Operating Systems. Executive Summary: Michael Gartenberg is wrong. I am seriously annoyed by the constant disingenuous articles that state GNU/Linux is not ready for the average user’s desktop PC as the primary, or only, operating . . . → Read More: GNU/Linux: Rebuttal: Linux on the desktop: Still not happening I have a friend who is suffering from a degenerative chronic disease. It is slowly destroying his ability to use his hands to type and interact with his personal computer. This makes it difficult for him to correspond in e-mail, type documents in a word processor or do any other task that requires much interaction . . . → Read More: GNU/Linux: Current State of Voice Dictation and Recognition Notice: This article is not specifically about GNU/Linux. It is under our GNU/Linux category because the server in the article was and is a GNU/Linux based server. Some portions of the article deal with solving upgrade problems for applications that run on the underlying GNU/Linux distribution. In summary, this is a hardware and software article. . . . → Read More: GNU/Linux: Server Upgrade Problem Solving Earlier today I decided to upgrade the firmware on my SOHO’s Linksys WRT54G v5 router. I usually do such things on the weekends in case something breaks. It is a good thing I waited until the weekend this time. My Linksys WRT45G is now “bricked”. For some unknown reason the firmware update never finished although . . . → Read More: GNU/Linux: Replacing a Dead Router with a Linux System You know the type. The technical reporter that tries to do something on GNU/Linux, cannot figure it out and thus states to the planet the equivalent of Chicken Little saying, “The sky is falling!”, regarding GNU/Linux. We see them over and over coming back to the same point, “Until ‘Linux’ solves [insert the technical reporter’s . . . → Read More: The GNU/Linux “Chicken Little” Syndrome Time does pass quickly. I just realized it has been over two months since I had time to write an article here. I finally found something new I want to write about, so I am taking time to do that now. Please feel free to leave a comment. Today I am working to finish setting . . . → Read More: GNU/Linux: rdesktop – Working on a Windows Based PC Remotely We have all heard the GNU/Linux naysayers posit that, “No one will use Linux until (insert application name here) runs natively on Linux.” Other than the fact that this is almost pure hyperbole there is some kernel of truth there. This article demonstrates one solution. Many small business owners may want to move to Linux . . . → Read More: GNU/Linux: Virtualbox for solving a common small business problem. This is the second article in my series about GNU/Linux security for the GNU/Linux curious and new GNU/Linux user. The first article is here: GNU/Linux Security: Ubuntu has been Cracked! There are many attempts to explain the differences between GNU/Linux and Microsoft products when it comes to security. In this article I am going to . . . → Read More: GNU/Linux Security: Linux House vs Microsoft House [Notice: If you do not like the title, read the article anyway. Otherwise, there is no point in sending me a comment as I will not post comments that state something like, "Your title suxxors! I refused to read your article after I read the first paragraph! You're just trying to boost traffic to your . . . → Read More: GNU/Linux Security: Ubuntu has been Cracked! |
