Consider Columbus:
He didn’t know where he was going.
When he got there he didn’t know where he was.
When he got back he didn’t know where he had been.
And he did it all on someone else’s money.
XFce is great!

I started out with Mandrake then decided to try Slack. I was impressed right out of the gate with Slackware.It encourages you as a user to learn much more than a mandrake or Suse does.Things are not automatic in Slackware as they were in Mandrake .
I disliked Gnome & liked KDE (after 4.2) & then used XFce, to be true XFce is above all & fast GE too.
XFce rocks..

Mess with Slack
Posted by: saurabh8 on: July 7, 2009
Hi friends,
I have been using Mandriva 2009.1 for around 6 months but one day got it crashed (bug details here)
So switched to SLackware 12.2(having Kde 3.5 but quite stable atleast much more than Mandriva 2009.1)
In the meantime Chetan sir mentioned Mandriva 09’s toughsides & mentioned OpenSuse 11.1 that made me influenced by Open Suse & for which have been googling a lot.The features that influenced me a lot is its stability & ofcourse kde4.2.2.
Waiting 2 get a Open Suse11
till then messsing up with Slackware .
Well to be true I am proud to be a Slacker
Its great cant resist it

Zmanda’s Cloud based Open Source Backup or Tivoli!!?
Posted by: saurabh8 on: March 22, 2009
In this period of recession what could be much better than a low-cost open source tool..
That’s what Zmanda is hoping as it rolls out new cloud and enterprise data backup and recovery offerings.
The company this week unveiled Zmanda Cloud Backup, an online backup and disaster recovery offering for Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server based on Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3), and Amanda Enterprise Version 3.0, the latest version of the company’s data protection software based on the open source Amanda project.
Zmanda for data protection & backup for most widely used MSQL compared to IBM Tivoli which is highly costly.
Noticing the trend in storing data “in the cloud,” Zmanda quickly reacted and now offers an alternative to traditional backups on disk and tape.
Zmanda for Iphon’e enterprise Apps
Zmanda Web admin: Zmanda’s Amanda Enterprise and Zmanda Recovery Manager allow iPhone users to kick off Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and MySQL backups, perform point-and-click restores, and view backup reports — in other words, to manage backup operations any time you care to think about them, and at any place within reach of a wireless network. In fact, you don’t even need the iPhone. Any Web browser will do. [http://www.zmanda.com/]
So check IBM Tivoli too.

Open source works!! from freedom came elegance
Posted by: saurabh8 on: March 15, 2009
When we call software “free,” we mean that it respects the users’ essential freedoms: the freedom to run it, to study and change it, and to redistribute copies with or without changes. This is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of “free speech,” not “free beer.”
Joe Barr wrote an article called Live and let license that gives his perspective on this issue.
A must watch presentation on Open source & FOSS watch it here.
