Linux integration - glad i got it -

Hi I’m KG the Techie –

Well Hello again..I am inspired to write another blog moment. Today, I was working on a clients computer, and they lost communication and activity to their Window Vista Machine. They knew my wife, and of course my wife told them maybe I can get them back in order. First thing I notice about the machine, that it was moving slowly on performance wise… so I suspect it was probably some kind of malware or spyware causing the issue(but for the sake of this blog, I’m not going to tell the whole story). Even after a bit rebooting in safe mode, it was very slow bringing the desktop up. They told me, do what I can to get the machine back in working order; they also wanted their data backup as well. I told them to get an external USB drive to help in the backup process. I was very excited they took my and wife advice and they got a ” Free-agent Go-FLex Seagate external USB drive”. This Drive is awesome… I believe I need to get me one. They got a 500GB drive, but it’s works well for quick backups. Well since their machine hanged even in safe mode, it was time to bring out the Linux Integration, using “PCLinux OS” Live CD, I managed to backup their data. Proving once again Linux will save the day, when there’s a windows issue. Well… this concludes this blog moment for now, always remember, it’s just my 2 cents.

PC-Linux OS aka Phoenix - impressive -

Hi I’m KG the Techie –

Hello again folks, wow… how time flies, as they say, when you are having fun. Well for me time just flies. Hey… well, let me tell you, finally I changed Linux Distros, no longer using Fedora 15. However, I’m currently using “PC-Linux OS aka – Phoenix” – and wow, what a different in style, performance, and just the overall feel of the OS. First off, let me share with you the desktop environment itself. It’s not “GNOME” that's for sure. In fact to me, it is a-lot better than GNOME 3. XFCE 4 is the desktop environment starter point for “PC-Linux OS”, it feel s like “KDE” environment. I like the style of it, and it’s performance is outstanding, under a “ 1 GB” of ram system. This system I’m running “PC-Linux OS” on is a old, with a 40GB HDD, and 1 GB Ram, the performance is medium but does the trick of running Linux Distros of choosing. I loaded all the software I like to use under this OS, however you will have to know which package manager to use, especially if you going to use the command line interface for it. It does have the Synaptic Package Manager frontend installed for your software installs and downloads, if you don’t like the CLI approach. How can you not like CLI, if in you in the world of UNIX and Linux. Well… this concludes this blog moment for now, always remember, it’s just my 2 cents.
