I just created a webform to help clients to define their project.
If you are a developer and if you would like to insert this webform into your web site, please feel free to download it.

LinuxThe word Linux refers to several operating systems which are using the Linux kernel. from scratch is not really a Linux system but a method to build from almost nothing an entire system.

The purpose is highly educative for who wants to understand what are the different layers which are composing a modern Linux/Unix operating system.

I recently bought a new computer. A nice 17" laptop. Actually I've been using LinuxThe word Linux refers to several operating systems which are using the Linux kernel. on Desktop since 1997 and I don't need windows. My laptop is sold with windows and it was said that if I don't want it I could save 50€.

So I could be happy. Actually no. Those 50€ should be reimbursed by the brand of my laptop. And for that I must send it to them (sending fees) and it make my laptop unavailable for 2 weeks.

So now they respect the law at splitting the price between the hardware and the operating system. But practically you will never ask to be reimbursed because it is too troublesome.

This is very simple.

Press ALT+F2 and type xterm followed by ENTER.

A shell is opening so you can type :

sudo passwd root

Then type your password once, followed by the password you want to set up for the root user twice.

This is reproduction of an interview of Prof. Dr. Edsger W. Dijkstra dated 1985.

Amazingly, I don't think that what we are seeing has changed otherwise the defragmenter in MS Windows would have disappeared ...

1. Stability

   Some linux servers are not restarted for years, for data operations continuity is essential, this more than what people are used to.

2. Safety

   As long as you apply your security updates in time, you'll be almost quiet with anything else. No heavy antivirus to run periodically.

3. Cheap to get

   You just have to download it from internet and burn a Cd with it.

4. Longer life cycle of hardware

   You were thinking about putting those old pentium 133 in the trash ?
