DeMudi

Hi All,

Many of you might be knowing the Debian Multimedia repository. Ya I know - who would not know Christian Marillat??? If you really dont know how he is - do visit his repo - www.debian-multimedia.org.

Like wise to this multimedia repo - if you ever needed a Debian Distro similar to Ubuntu Ultimate Edition, dont forget to visit 64studio.com

Yes - an Angola project, also a previously - Debian Blend, 64studio OS is also called DeMudi - as long for Debian Multimedia Distribution.

The size of the ISO file is around 800Mb that fits into a DVD-R.

Try it and you will like it!!!!

Thanks,

Slackware 13.0

Hi All,

If you all had observed - I already mentioned in my blog about the release of Slackware 13.0.

I am just excited to get the DVD version of it. If any one of you guys - the distributors- can help me get the dual layer dvd of Slackware in India, preferably in Bangalore - do mail me to my email address - ananth.gouri@gmail.com.

Even if I cant get the DVD right now - I wont lose hopes - since LFY - Linux For You magazine would be providing it in a month or 2.

But of all - the best that impressed me about this release was - Now Slackware 13.0 need not be configured for getting its display - a great improvement done. If you read my blog regularly - I have written a post that explains how to configure the X server in Slackware. I think that I can delete this post after I test 13 now!!!

The yet another important release feature is - now Slackware has a 64 bit OS[port], a feature that would make most of the 64bit processor used computer geeks - go crazy.

It also includes the latest stable release of KDE, the latest XFCE desktop and many more. Walk through these 2 links - Link-1, Link-2 provided by Volkerding.

The oldest Linux distributions man kind has ever seen - is still strong and is going fine in its journey of endurance to Linux success. Live long Slackware.

Thanks,
Ananth Gouri

Promoting, spreading Linux For You magazine

Hi All,

Just waiting to grab my Septmeber Issue of Linux For You magazine - India's and Asia's first Magazine on Linux. Visit www.lfymag.com or www.linuxforu.com

Every month - LFY (acronym called with deep and dear love...) provides a free DVD with the latest Linux Distro available during that time. They see to it that - they wont miss a single important release. By an important release - I meant for Distros like Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Slackware, openSuSe, Mandriva et al.

Now dont ask me - "Are the other distros not important?" By terming it "important" [I meant] - just imagine how much can a magazine provide to its readers - when it provides the full magazine worth of great Linux related and OSS stuff, and also provides a good distro - for a minimal cost of Rs. 100???? !!!

It has to provide the best and the famous distros only - when the number of active Linux distributions in this world is more than 100+ [visit www.distrowatch.com for little info and http://lwn.net/Distributions/ for a list of distributions.]

[Please dont forget that a normal - tasty meal in the metros of India costs a family not less than Rs. 600 to Rs. 1000+ in a middle rated hotel.]

Its not just the DVD - LFY also provides a CD full of latest Linux packages along with the latest stable release of the Linux kernel.

I was excited to buy this month's issue - as LFY is providing its readers - Linux Gamers DVD edition.

For those of you all who don't know about Linux Gamers - please visit this site - www.linux-gamers.net

Happy gaming too this time.

Also if "you" are from India - reading this blog post today - do mind to buy a LFY magazine[available in most of the book stalls and Newspaper stalls.] You would never know how many "100s" of Rupees you waste on unwanted things daily.

Do buy LFY and spread a word or two about Linux and its use.

Happy reading and live long LFY....

Thanks,
Ananth Gouri

Debian Electronics - 3

Hi All,

Post #3....

Fresh with qucs - I wanted to do some more research and also was tweaking Debian sites for something specific that I needed.

Enter software: electric

1. Update your synaptic such that it handles sid too.
2. Search for "Electric" a package around 11Mb.

This seems to be a small software with big sets of features.

Visit this site: http://www.gnu.org/software/electric/electric.html

Thanks to Sun Microsystems and to Static free software for such a beautiful software.

Guys and Gals - why do you folks want to use proprietary Operating systems? And as if not to justify your first mistake - do you need a proprietary software too?????

Think twice.

Discuss these things with your colleges and universities, get more information about the softwares through debian forums, ircs and in fact through debian developers themselves and please incorporate free and open source.

Let your mind and heart free with freedom through open source. May god bless you.

Finally Happy Circuit Creation.

Thanks,
Ananth Gouri

Debian Electronics - 2

Hi All,

Post #2....

Enter scene: Mr. BNK Sir. The scene from yesterday was completely changed when I discussed my assembler problems with my NIE college lecturer, BNK.

My sir started with something new. A new terminology altogether: ISE Webpack 10[Again google it out....].

Thank god that my sir gave me some good news [though got to confirm physically still.]. Check out xilinx.com[use google please]. This site - when a version 10 is released - it makes 9 free!!!..

And my research did not end here. I continued and found out something new - qucs.

Use synaptic and install qucs - which stands for Quite Universal Circuit Simulator.

Visit qucs.sourceforge.net for more details and also dont forget to check out that qucs has a pdf file which tells how to integrate vhdl programming to qucs.

All the best with your vhdl programming.

Read post - 3 before you close my site :)

Thanks,
Ananth Gouri
