Don't want to stop using your favourite desktop environments? Here's how you can do it! 

Linux users always have their preferred desktop environments that they want to use. So, it is often a problem to change distributions or work on other systems. That is where terminal emulators come in.

Romania Considering Ubuntu In Its Schools!

The ministry has released a list of tentative applications recommended to be used along with GNU/Linux.

Plagued by a slew of unlicensed or old unsupported versions of proprietary software like Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office in many of its schools, the Romanian Education Ministry is now considering a switch to open source solutions like GNU/Linux: Ubuntu and Edubuntu in particular.

Recently, the Ministry has released a list of tentative applications recommended to be used along with GNU/Linux: LibreOffice, Firefox, Inkscape and the GIMP, GNU Octave, FreeCAD, Geany and Lazarus to name a few. However, as of now the list is only 'experimental' with no specific information available if at all such a move will be official at some point of time. "Until we can provide national support for this product, including localisation in Romanian and national minority languages, the decision to use this distribution is up to each school." OSOR quoted the Ministry as saying.

Earlier, in another major development the Penn Manor High School in the US rolled out as many as 1,725 'Linux' powered laptops to its students. Linux, as we see in the current scenario, has become the part and parcel of the 'entire' organisation. For almost a decade it has been powering servers and providing the platform for its websites, storage, and learning management systems, therefore Linux was of course was the natural choice when it came to providing its students the right 'tool' to teach and grasp. The Penn Manor High School has provided every student grades 9-12 an Acer TravelMate laptop pre-loaded with Ubuntu 13.10. Following a roughly 5-minute orientation, students were then let lose to use their creative genius with the devices. In all probability, the world is now embracing open source technology like never before!

Previously, the UK government gave up on Microsoft's Office, instead resorting to open source alternatives. The move come in order to restrict expenditure and put an end to 'oligopoly' in the IT market. Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude said, "The software we use in government is still supplied by just a few large companies. A tiny oligopoly dominates the marketplace. I want to see a greater range of software used, so civil servants have access to the information they need and can get their work done without having to buy a particular brand of software. In the first instance, this will help departments to do something as simple as share documents with each other more easily. But it will also make it easier for the public to use and share government information."

This new emerging fascination for open source technology is a stepping stone for all those who live and breathe open source. The future indeed is shiny for all things deemed 'open'!

1. ifconfig: You will use the ifconfig command when you need to improve the kernel-resident network interfaces. The command is usually needed for system tuning and debugging, but it is also used during boot time in order to set up the interfaces.

2. netstat: This is an advanced command for Linux users that is used to display information related to the network. This includes information such as routing tables, network connections, masquerade connections, interface statistics and others.

3. nslookup: This command will be used when you need to find information about Internet servers. It finds you the name server information for the domains that are querying the DNS.

4. dig: The dig tool is used in order to query the DNS nameservers. If you need to find information on host addresses, mail exchanges, nameservers and other related information, then this is the tool for you. You can use the command from Linux and Mac OS X operating systems.

5. uptime: The uptime command is used in order to verify what all happened when a server has been left unattended. It is especially useful when you sit down in front of the server machine and see something gone awry.

6. wall: This command is used to send a message to all logged in users. You can only send the message to those with their message permission setting at ‘yes’ though. The message is given as an argument for the wall command.

7. mesg: Users can use the ‘write’ command in order to send messages to you. But as the server admin, you can use the mesg command in order to decide whether they can. You can choose from ‘n’ and ‘y’, which allow messages to not popup and popup on your screen respectively. 

8. write: If the status for the ‘mesg’ command for a user is set to ‘y’ then the write command will allow you to send messages to that user.

9. talk: When a simple message is not enough, use the talk command to talk to users logged into the server.

10. w: This command is a combination of uptime and who commands, if they are given in that order and one after the other. 

11. rename: When you need to rename certain specific files, the rename command comes in handy. This command renames files by replacing the first occurrence from that file.

12. top: Use this command in order to display the processes running in the CPU. The command will refresh automatically and keep displaying the processes until you use the interrupt command to stop it.

You can also get lists of commands for beginner and intermediate Linux users.
