Interests change with time, and so shall this blog…

One of the most interesting aspects of keeping up this blog over time, has been going back and reading about all of the cool stuff I’ve tried out over the past couple of years. For most of that time, I was “stuck” with having only one “good” PC at home, and I tended to keep it in a state of disrepair, so often I’d get myself into some pickles (such as a broken OS) . Things are a little bit different now. I now have a “real” test machine – it’s a Dell Precision M70 notebook. It has a single-core 2 GHz Pentium M, 2GB RAM, 256MB Nvidia Video pushing a nice 1920×1200 15.4” screen and a fairly speedy 7200RPM disk drive. I picked it up as a steal on eBay and I have a nice spot for it right here on my desk next to the monitor for my main home PC (also a Dell Precision – 690 to be exact) and although I’ve decided to keep Windows 7 (yeah, yeah, really!) as the only native OS on the 690 workstation, I can test my heart away on the M70. However, even that may wind down in time as my overall interests are changing somewhat.

Let me explain.

I have become more interested in the general “idea” of Open Source and what can be accomplished with the “open” way of thinking than I am with one particular technology. I’m seeing some very innovative and exciting software come out of open source, and I have a feeling that is more of what I’m going to be writing about in the future.

Here are some general ideas, feelings and predictions I have:

Intel’s Moblin looks awesome (Based on Fedora), and will make great strides in the Netbook segment
GNOME and specifically “GNOME Shell” will innovate the User Interface of all computing platforms.
The sleeping giant known as Red Hat will wake up and give Ubuntu a run for the Linux desktop, and Ubuntu will have to start innovating on it’s own rather than riding a wave of popularity to keep up.
Novell will continue to push the envelope in regards to interoperability with Microsoft technology, which to the dismay of many “die-hard” free-software fans will bring Open Source technologies to a wide new audience. In fact, Novell and all of what the openSUSE team is doing as well as the MONO team really excites me a lot right now – that’s just some cool stuff!

I’m also very interested in seeing what will develop from the Oracle purchase of Sun. I’m curious to see what will happen with OOo, MySQL VirtualBox and OpenSolaris.

I would especially hate to see VirtualBox die - I use it every day and I love it. I also think what has been accomplished with OpenSolaris is next to phenomenal. They took a (somewhat) obscure big-iron UNIX OS and made a nice comfy desktop OS that fits nicely onto an installable LiveCD (a’la Ubuntu). In fact I’ve tried each version of OpenSolaris that has been released and each version has gotten better and better, and the latest, 2009.06 release has gotten so polished and runs so well I think I could live with it as a day-to-day OS on a 2nd computer, such as that M70.

As for my day-to-day stuff, Windows 7 has just plain won me over. I was bored of XP (nothing new to learn and explore), Vista would drive me nuts at times, and I just fiddled around with Linux for a few years as a result. Hopefully it will not be another 8 years before Microsoft can come up with the next suitable OS replacement.

Also, besides all of that here lately I’ve been spending more time (gasp) away from the PC and regaining interest in other passions and hobbies. For example I’m purposely bringing music back into the forefront and simply spending more time sitting on my back patio playing guitar in the afternoon…little things like that.

Who knows – this time next year, this might read like a normal everyday blog, by a normal everyday guy

NAH! I’m way too much of a NERD for that! Who am I kidding!

PS, I’m still going to be involved in the GNOME Journal and we can always use more writers, editors and ideas for articles and people to interview, so stop by and help out if you are so inclined!

Ubuntu Internet Software Suite - Transmission

Internet file sharing has become a controversial topic these days in the copyright world. However, networks such as BitTorrent (www.bittorrent.com) have found legitimate use among software companies and other content distributors as a way to offer downloads for larger files without carrying the brunt of the bandwidth use themselves. In fact, Ubuntu distributions themselves are offered as BitTorrent files for quicker downloading.

BitTorrent file transfers work by connecting to a central server and posting information about the file to download, along with your current upload and download speeds. The central server doesn’t transfer the file. It is more of a clearinghouse for information on the file download. Each file is divided into multiple pieces. Individual BitTorrent clients download the individual pieces from other clients who’ve already downloaded them, then advertise which pieces they have to offer to other clients.

This means that clients contact other clients to download the file pieces, rather than downloading directly from the server. This process is called peer-to-peer networking, and it saves bandwidth for the server because clients download directly from each other. While you’re downloading pieces of the file, other BitTorrent clients may be downloading the pieces you have from your client! This is all perfectly harmless because the BitTorrent software restricts the access that clients have to your system.

The key to a BitTorrent download is the .torrent file. The .torrent file contains the file to download and the location of the central server that coordinates the downloads. The standard Ubuntu installation includes the Transmission BitTorrent client. You start it by selecting Applications -> Internet -> Transmission BitTorrent Client.

When you find out that a file is available over BitTorrent, you first download the .torrent file for the item. After you have this file downloaded, follow these steps to get the actual file:
1. Start your BitTorrent client.

2. Select Torrent -> Add. A file browser window appears, allowing you to look for the .torrent file that controls the BitTorrent session.

3. Navigate to and select the .torrent file for the document you want to download, then click OK. The file appears in the Transmission list window, along with some status information. It can take a minute or so for Transmission to fully synchronize with the central server.

4. After the download completes, keep Transmission running in background for a while.
Proper net etiquette dictates that you allow Transmission to continue running so that other BitTorrent clients can retrieve pieces of the download file from you. They have access only to the files you offer in your Transmission session and nothing else on your workstation. The Ratio status for the file indicates how much of the file remote clients have uploaded from you compared to what you’ve downloaded. It’s polite to keep Transmission running at least until you obtain a 1:1 ratio.

5. Stop Transmission and halt the BitTorrent connection by selecting Torrent -> Quit from the menu.

Transmission places the downloaded file in the same folder as the .torrent file.

Both Nautilus and Firefox recognize .torrent files and can automatically start Transmission when you select the .torrent file, either from your local filesystem (in Nautilus) or from a web site link (in Firefox).

Ubuntu Internet Software Suite - Terminal Server Client

If you live in a Microsoft Windows environment, you may have to work with remote Windows servers. One feature that Microsoft Windows provides for Windows clients is the Terminal Services Client application. The Terminal Services Client application allows remote Windows clients to connect to a Windows server and interact with the server desktop as if they were on the server console. This feature allows clients to run applications on the server without having to physically be at the server. This is a great way to share server applications for clients, as well as give system administrators easy access to remote Windows servers.

Believe it or not, Ubuntu also contains software that allows you to connect as a client to a Microsoft Windows terminal server. The Terminal Server Client package works just like the Windows version, allowing you to connect to Windows servers and interact with the server desktop.

Click Applications -> Internet -> Terminal Server Client to see the Settings window. In the Settings window you can start a new session by following these steps:

1. Enter the address of the remote Windows server. This can be a host address if you’re on a Windows network, or the IP address of the server.

2. Select the protocol to use. Terminal Server uses the remote desktop protocol (RDP) to connect to Microsoft Windows servers. There are two common versions, RDP 4.0 (which is called RDP) supported in Windows NT servers and later, and RDP 5.0 (called RDP5) used in Windows 2000 servers and later. The RDP5 protocol provides additional features, so use it if possible. The Terminal Server Client also supports the X Windows display manager protocol (XDMCP), the virtual network computing (VNC) protocol, and the independent computing architecture (ICA) protocols if they’re installed on your system. These protocols allow you to connect to remote UNIX, Linux, and Citrix servers.

3. Enter the username to log in with. This can be either a domain name if the server is in a Windows domain or a local username for the server.

4. Enter the password for the username.

5. Optionally, enter the domain. If the server is part of a domain and you’re using a domain user account to log in with, you’ll need to notify the server which domain to use.

6. Optionally, enter a client hostname. If you want to emulate accessing the server from a specific client hostname, enter it here. Otherwise, leave this field blank.

7. Select a protocol file, if available. The protocol file allows you to save settings related to the connection for use in later connections.

8. Save the connection settings. You can save the connection settings by clicking the Save As button, then recall them for another session using the Open button.

9. Click the Connect button to start the session.

The Terminal Server Client software attempts to establish a connection with the remote Windows server, then logs in with the login information you provided. When the login is complete, the server desktop appears in a window.

The entire desktop window for the server session appears within the Terminal Server Client window. You have full control of the session on the desktop. You can move the mouse to launch applications and type on the keyboard to enter commands. When you close the session, log out from the server but do not shut it down. The remote session works as if you were logged in from the server console. Selecting the shutdown menu item will indeed shut down the server!
