In about 2 hours (which may be slow, I'm all new at this stuff) I set up apache (well all of LAMP actually), ssh, ftp, and vnc on my computer, all working perfectly. Its beautiful. I was sitting in class today, when I remembered something important so I went to "go get a drink of water," went to the computer lab, SSH'd into my server, and created a note to myself. It was so cool, in a geeky kind of way. |
Did you use webmin? If you do it takes almost no time to get it to work. Webmin actually is capable of telling apt-get what to do

Actually did you ever consider tunnelling the X11 commands through the SSH connection? And for the music, VLC is capable of streaming music over network if I remember correctly. I hope those two hints were enough

Windows XP at that time was facing serious exploit and they had to release a service pack to fix the situation, which was the SP2 with new security features.
They can actually release it earlier, but they scrapped the whole thing halfway through and redid the whole thing. I don't really know the details, but you may be able to pick it up at Windows Vista's Wikipedia article.
If supposing everything goes by plan, they may really be able to release Windows 7 in time, with not just plain graphics improvement, but also new features. Even before Windows Vista SP1 was released, work has already started. |
What's happening now? Windows arguments now have the same problem that many Linux arguments do, the consumer does not care. And especially so when the problem is self induced by poor technical design, which may cause the informed and interested consumers to also not bother sympathising.
Another similarity to Linux arguments is this looking into the future thing. Vista'a fairly new and Windows 7 seems to be all the buzz, even though the thing doesn't even have a name. The difference is Linux is improving faster. |
