this is Linux or GNU/Linux?

What's in your mind when hear the word Linux? Is a complete operating system and is ready for use such as Windows or Mac OS? Or just a small part of the system that can not be run by itself? I bet most would answer the first. Well, unfortunately you are wrong.
The operating system you call Linux is actually not (just) than Linux, but GNU / Linux-at least that is what the Free Software Foundation headed by Richard Stallman. Why is that?
GNU operating system, then I will call GNU-which stems from a project called GNU Project is a free software is a complete system and is compatible with Unix. Free here does not mean free as in 'free lunch' but it could be free as in 'free speech.' I will explain about the free software at a later time.
GNU Project is a project initiated by Richard Stallman on the campus of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), where Stallman worked, which began the process since 1984. Coverage is the kernel and GNU software support such as a text editor, shell, C compiler, assembler, and so that it becomes a whole operating system intact.
With a team who work voluntarily and do their respective parts, software components supporting any operating system is ready for use. Unfortunately the software that has been integrated into the GNU system can not run because the kernel are made and named GNU Hurd is not ready for use.
By coincidence, a year before the GNU system is ready for use a student at the University of Helsinki managed to create a good Unix-like kernel and has been used by many programmers. Linus Torvalds created the kernel is called Linux. From the collaboration system GNU and the Linux kernel is formed a perfect operating system is GNU / Linux.
From GNU / Linux is then appear different variants called distros like Slackware, Debian, Red Hat and others and has been used in various parts of the world. These distros are now better known as Linux.
Actually, whether it's the kernel? Imagine a bridge that connects one side of the valley to the other side of the valley. That's the easy description of a kernel. The kernel is a link that also set the machine resources, in this computer, so that a computer capable of running other programs. Just as the GNU system, the kernel was not able to walk alone without any other software. The Linux kernel is not the operating system.
Until recently, the mention of GNU / Linux is still a controversy. If the calculated number of components and libraries are better than GNU Linux as there is in Red Hat. From here, some say that Stallman envious because he worked more in the GNU and Linus Torvalds enjoy the triumph with the kernel write only modest.
Nevertheless, the GNU system components or libraries that only exist in the distros are more familiar with Linux it. None of the components and GNU libraries found in Android, as Google has been changing with the components or libraries that developed their own.
Whatever name you give, both Linux and GNU / Linux, is legitimate as long as you understand what you mean and still return the credits to developers. I myself sometimes called GNU / Linux and Linux only occasionally.
Borrowing a phrase Jim Gettys, one of the pioneers and developers of the X Window System: There are lots of people on this bus, I do not hear a clamor of support is more essential GNU That Than many of the other components; can not take a wheel away, and end up with a functional vehicle, or an engine, or the seats. I recommend you be happy We have a bus.
Let's enjoy this journey the bus and listening to the song The Gnu Song sung by Flanders and Swann!

Hayya 'Alal Linux

Milad celebrated the birth of Linux began bustling this April. Various thanksgiving ceremony was held, among others, the launch of CGL (carrier grade Linux) 5.0, installation image "I'll Celebrating 20 years of Linux with the Linux Foundation!" On a blog the followers of Linux, and will dipungkasi LinuxCon carpet celebration in Vancouver, August.
In the age of retracing the past 20 years, Linux's face now looks full of bubbling youthful independence. Torvalds as the midwife, would rejoice to see Tux, "godson", has now become a socialite as well as icons of the world: Penguin hero of liberation against the tyranny of proprietary and operating system monopoly.
As the world are bundled in two different sides, then Linux seems destined to become an alternative matching of coded proprietary software. As the balance of Yin Yang Sunnah: is the closure of the window, surely there must be an open door. While major vendors sell officially licensed expensive software, GNU / Linux offers the ease of sharing license. Proprietary capital for branding, Linux for human beings. So far, Linux appears to be more humane because it is not just cram the concept of profit and loss in a trade sale and purchase of materials.
 Transformation of seedlings Linux then split the spirit of FOSS (freeware open source software) to all over the world, including rousing welcome in Indonesia. This is possible because the philosophy that carried FOSS Linux bonding with the noble civilization secorak Indonesianness: mutual cooperation, volunteerism, freedom, solidarity, justice, and self-reliance. For this reason also, the author moved so reverts Linux since mid-2008, other than a moral responsibility to control pests piracy.
The celebration of 20 years should be to arouse Linux Indonesia, particularly the observers and users of IT. One side of the rapid development of technology in this country to be grateful, for example by looking at the growth of hardware sales. IDC released, fiscal year 2010, PC shipments to Indonesia reached 62%. Data Apkomindo mention notebook and netbook sales in 2010 estimated its portion increased to 70% and finally to 80% in 2011 and 2012.
On the other hand, the phenomenon of the use of pirated software continues to concern. Please googling percentage of software piracy in Indonesia. Yes, the numbers are still struggling in the range of 86%, as IDC and BSA release data. Of course this is a note in default that must be ended. The reason for high prices when buying and choosing licensed practical use pirated license is a hallmark pathology of pariah ..
When you're honest, two common reasons users of pirated it was answered by the presence of FOSS Linux. Convenient features, GUI, and reliability of the content is now almost equal the paid commercial software. Package operating system and applications included in one bundle installation, more ease of use, in addition to saving on the bag of course. The developers of the Linux FOSS Indonesia also continues to move perfected various gaps weaknesses (bugs) that complained. At least no more reason hijack software, mainly for the purpose of office routine.
Speech recognition reliability, Linux has penetrated into the broad ecosystem of computing technology. Cloud computing, servers, media syndication, including the Internet, now increasingly hectic berLinux ria. The search engine Google, who does not know him? Android is now a phenomenon also skyrocketed?
They turned out to voters as jerohan driving the Linux platform. From here, the reluctance to try Linux with the excuse "not as famous as the bootleg" or "do not have any friends" is not relevant.
The government was already trying to pass campaign IGOS, though now deserted after the new education minister repercussions. At least people have a strong foothold to launch a serious effort in this direction. MUI also reads, "unlawful use of pirated software." If it is considered not adequate strength inkracht, enough so come-on community networking.
Like the message Mr. Kusmayanto Kadiman, that the axis correctional Linux FOSS can be activated through a series of ABG + C co (academia, business, Government + community). Well, the power of community networking can be a pioneer if for example the third element of ABG Shining. Community represented a local developer who is very strong commitment and passion kerelawanannya keIndonesiaannya. So what else is less endorser?
Furthermore, there is the relevance of similar value if reconcile the philosophy of Linux and the spirit of Indonesian independence. Indonesia gained independence from the colonial Dutch East India Company, while Linux try to offer liberation from bondage vendor proprietary license. Kang Onno been warned, so far run into millions of dollars overseas because the purchase of licensed proprietary operating system. Moreover, the purchase of pirated software, in addition to harming the state, also knows where the allotment of the money evaporates.
So it's time to say good-milad-20 Linux .. Through the 20th anniversary of the birth of Linux is, it's time to move into software options are cheap, easy, and legitimate. "Hayya 'Alal Linux". Let emigrated to Linux. Merdekakan themselves from the snares prorietary. Money 20 thousand which is usually used to buy pirated software it should be donated to a local Linux FOSS development. Of course this will be a phenomenon of self-reliance that membersyukurkan.
Related practice exercise honesty, start from the immediate environment. For example in computing jobs, always use the computer operating system is legal. If feels expensive proprietary software licenses, use FOSS-friendly Linux that cost social and proven reliable. You can choose Linux FOSS free enterprise or corporate editions are freely available at various mirror downloads. This option will be more secure and reassuring than the cat and mouse with the security forces because selling pirated license.
Choosing Linux FOSS also reflects awareness and self-sufficient IT berswadaya process, in addition to supporting the work of respected local developer potential. Do not forget also the social responsibility to suppress the crime of intellectual property theft. As the public railed Somali pirates Indonesian citizen hostage, then it is time now to stop piracy in the country itself: Use Linux and FOSS Enough illegal use of proprietary licensing.
Together with the author, let's shake hands with Tux and follow the steps that graceful swing winding. Congratulations milad on ijtihat Torvalds. Congratulations Linuxer all excited. While thanksgiving, continue kumandangkan invitation "Hayya 'alal Linux" to computer users in Indonesia.

Networking

Many people are asking, including me, what should be studied first when they want to learn networking? Of the few references that I read, all you have ahold of is: 1. Basic Networking Hardware What should be studied? Because of the core is where the journey packet to be sent from our computer to the server. What is a Switch, Hub, Router, Access Point, etc.. Taukah you that the switch is better than HUB. When do I use a HUB, Switch or Router. All must be accounted for properly. Where did we learn?, Many books can you meet who study it. 2. Basic IP and Subnetting Maybe if I say, this is very important of all, IP and subnetting. This will be felt if you work at an ISP. You will learn how IP efficiency, what is a gateway, How to manage IP well to prevent it from occurring Broadcasting and Coalision data. 3. Switching and Routing Technology If you already have more than 1 network, for example at your office, you should be able to perform routing of the network. You know, that the Internet can connect to everywhere because this routing. For switching VLAN you need to learn technology. 4. Technology Server If this one you'll be a lot to do with LDAP Server, DHCP, DNS, Etc.. The point is to provide services needed for the client. To find information please ask the help of Google. Type the server service you want to study. 5. Security Now once it has formed a good infrastructure server and then you notice the Security ranging from server to client. 6. Monitoring The monitoring covers all the good things of the infrastructure as well as from the software side. The better monitoring it, you will more easily control your network. 7. Backups This is often overlooked by the Network Administrator. Make a backup part or in full to anticipate Crash. Many technologies that could be done, one using Norton Ghost. Where can I learn these things: 1. Of course the internet. 2. Book or Ebook. 3. Tutorial DVD. 4. Etc. Hopefully useful.

Bulldozer AMD FX-Series will be Released On June 7, 2011?

Release date AMD processor-based architecture Zambezi Bulldozer reportedly been the target of discussion and debate in recent months. And following that, recently has emerged a slide show presentation that has been shown that the FX-series CPUs made ​​by AMD was first to be launched on June 7, 2011.

This slide itself reportedly obtained from a presentation by Gigabyte party some time ago that revealed details of the motherboard AM3 + besutannya and was posted online by the official website of ATI-Forum.

At the bottom of the picture, there is a note stating AMD FX-Series will be launched on June 7, 2011 during the Computex exhibition. And it's certainly faster than the previous HardwareLuxx information through which mentions that the processor will be launched on June 11, 2011.

While this may seem like a regular confirmation about the release date Zambezi, there are some things that are considered wrong with the slide information, which is providing Computex exhibition will end on June 4, 2011, and the date of this means that three days before the release date specified in document. In addition, all documents created seemed impressed with a rush. There is a collection of pieces of different images and there are also pictures with low resolution logo Gigabyte to make everything look a little more formal.

The name Zambezi was actually a code name used by AMD for high-performance desktop processor model based on the Bulldozer architecture that will come. This processor reportedly will carry between four to eight processing cores and memory support up to 8MB of Level 3 cache.

Initially, AMD plans to release only four SKUs and will feature two versions of Core Turbo technology, dual-channel 1866MHz integrated memory controller, and a multiplier that is open, since its presence as part of the Black Edition. This processor is built using a 32nm manufacturing process and is compatible with all motherboards AM3 + and AM3.
