Bueno, pues volvemos a la actividad. Así que volvemos con un tema técnico de esos misteriosos mundos de la informática.
Quedé con mi primo a pasar unos días en su casa de campo. Allí me esperaba, además de un entorno natural idílico y peace of mind, \u202d \u202c an interesting challenge: \u202d \u202c two computers need a change \u202d, \u202c such change would be windows on GNU / Linux. \u202d \u202c A laptop and booted, \u202d \u202c and a desktop computer which in day he bought with Windows \u202d \u202c 98 \u202d \u202c and that was not capable of running on XP, \u202d \u202c and they had to leave. \u202d \u202c So I went there with the usual baggage that one can take for these things .. . \u202d \u202c and with all my computing arsenal.
I'm not one to manage at \u202d "\u202c mechanical \u202d" \u202c, \u202d \u202c ie \u202d \u202c \u202d hardware, \u202c and soon found that the laptop had no solution that does not go through the service. \u202d \u202c I checked it was not bootable Live system \u202d (\u202c operating systems running from a CD , \u202d \u202c regardless of the system installed on the hard disk \u202d) \u202c, \u202d \u202c so I proceeded to take it for repair. We
was the theme of your desktop computer. \u202d \u202c Well, \u202d \u202c be \u202d \u202c AMD was an old, \u202d \u202c from which came with Windows \u202d \u202c 98. \u202d \u202c I think a AMD Duron. \u202d DVD \u202c No, \u202d \u202c only reader and CD writer. \u202d \u202c \u202d \u202c 128 MB of RAM and hard disk \u202d \u202c 20 \u202d \u202c GB. \u202d \u202c No internet connection at home. \u202d \u202c The picture was not easy. \u202d \u202c When previously \u202d \u202c go, \u202d \u202c I weighed the matter technically, \u202d \u202c I thought it was best to take distributions that are more or less complete in a CD, \u202d \u202c dismissed the coming to DVD, \u202d \u202c and they understand that require many supplements from the internet. \u202d \u202c And of course, \u202d \u202c considering only GNU / Linux light. \u202d \u202c So that I thought to try with Puppy Linux \u202d (\u202c internationally famous high-speed run on computers with low resources \u202d) \u202c, \u202d \u202c Galpon Minino \u202d (\u202c \u202d \u202c Hispanic distribution with a great reputation both moving and manage performance with minimal equipment \u202d) \u202c, \u202d \u202c \u202d eLive well (\u202c popular Debian-based distribution with the Enlightenment window manager \u202d) \u202c, \u202d \u202c and Lubuntu \u202d (\u202c Ubuntu derivative with the LXDE lightweight desktop \u202d) \u202c. \u202d \u202c He understood that some of this work, \u202d \u202c and in the worst case prove to install a free program for Windows, \u202d \u202c and that's it.
soon found that, \u202d \u202c for a graphical environment with minimal features, \u202d \u202c \u202d \u202c 128 MB of RAM is a serious limitation. \u202d \u202c The evidence from live systems \u202d (\u202c Live always try to prove in a system before installing \u202d) \u202c, \u202d \u202c were eternal, \u202d \u202c for the long time needed to move the computer. \u202d \u202c Also, \u202d \u202c only a working graphical environment: \u202d \u202c eLive. \u202d \u202c And a low resolution possible, \u202d \u202c 640x480. \u202d \u202c They failed or Galpon Minino, \u202d \u202c or \u202d \u202c famous or Puppy ... Lubuntu. \u202d \u202c Lubuntu got to do a testimonial start your graphical environment, \u202d \u202c but incredibly slow to respond with , \u202d \u202c and inevitably just hanging. \u202d \u202c And I saw that worked eLive mode-Live CD, \u202d \u202c but the installer shell in several attempts where I tried installing it.
felt then that the best was the \u202d "\u202c plan b \u202d" \u202c, \u202d \u202c free software for windows. \u202d \u202c So I used my album downloaded from \u202d \u202c www.cdlibre.org \u202d (\u202c \u202d \u202c really recommended site for this purpose \u202d) \u202c. \u202d \u202c My disappointment came when I realized that \u202d \u202c these programs were not able to run under Windows 98 \u202d \u202c . \u202d \u202c just forget the issue was ... \u202d "\u202c \u202d or maybe not?
It became clear that something must be done when I found that, \u202d \u202c In addition, the windows \u202d \u202c \u202d \u202c 98 \u202d \u202c was incapable of playing by problems with the drivers for your sound card, \u202d \u202c and it was not able to read external drives or pen drives, \u202d \u202c despite having USB connection. Then I thought
Debian. \u202d \u202c His reputation in the Linux world is not by chance. \u202d \u202c In addition to being my normal operating system, \u202d \u202c the ballot had saved me several times ... \u202d \u202c and maybe now I could do. \u202d \u202c At first not considered, \u202d \u202c as many CDs are required to install without internet or DVDs. \u202d \u202c had a Live CD with Debian, so I tried \u202d \u202c ... \u202d \u202c and also ripped the graphical environment. There
little less I took for liquidated all attempts, \u202d \u202c and I came to mind that of \u202d "\u202c Well, \u202d \u202c you can not always get what you're proposing \u202d" \u202c. \u202d \u202c However, \u202d \u202c to remember to always give many facilities \u202d (\u202c \u202d more than other distros ) \u202c editing configuration files and to better suit our needs. \u202d \u202c So that I chose to start with eLive, \u202d \u202c in text mode and see what I could find the file \u202d \u202c / etc/X11/xorg.conf give me clues to modify it in Debian. \u202d \u202c This file holds the configuration of the graphical environment, \u202d \u202c and since eLive worked in \u202d (\u202c at least the very basic \u202d) \u202c, \u202d \u202c could take note of those settings and transcribe in Debian, \u202d \u202c once installed. There
noticed something interesting. \u202d \u202c At the end of the paragraph \u202d "\u202c Screen Section \u202d" \u202c was a sub-section in Debian and did not help the fact I would surely include:
SubSection \u202d "\u202c Display \u202d "
Modes" 640x480 "EndSubSection
So that took the installation disc Debian Xfce graphical environments, LXDE he had at hand, \u202d \u202c and proceeded to install. \u202d \u202c At first I did not use Debian, \u202d \u202c including having no internet because it takes several disks to make a fairly complete installation. \u202d \u202c However, \u202d \u202c not had much problem with it because I could go to a local internet, \u202d \u202c close to home, with my laptop \u202d \u202c, \u202d \u202c and download a few images of CDs \u202d \u202c Debian from its portal \u202d (\u202c http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.5/i386/iso-cd/ \u202d) \u202c. \u202d \u202c At Finally, \u202d \u202c I've used have been: CD1 to boot
LXDE and XFCE. CD1
general \u202d (\u202c important to have it though we have the aforementioned \u202d!)
\u202d CD2 - CD3 \u202d \u202c - \u202d \u202c CD4 - CD5 \u202d \u202c - \u202d \u202c CD6 - CD7 \u202c \u202d \u202c - \u202d \u202c CD8
Although already had that CD1 \u202d \u202c with LXDE and XFCE boot, \u202d \u202c \u202d downloaded it again also, \u202c and I had version 5.0.3 \u202d \u202c \u202d \u202c and now is officially published the \u202d \u202c 5.0.5.
During installation there is a moment in which we asked that we include all the CDs that we will use in the installation process. \u202d \u202c If you do not currently have them, \u202d \u202c and \u202d later want to include (\u202c as it was in my case \u202d) \u202c, \u202d \u202c can be added without problems running the command console \u202d \u202c apt-cdrom add.
I choose to install the LXDE environment, \u202d \u202c even lighter than Xfce. \u202d \u202c When I finished the installation, \u202d \u202c not start the graphical environment, \u202d \u202c like me and feared me. \u202d \u202c But then edited with a file editor \u202d (\u202c nano \u202d) \u202c \u202d \u202c file / etc/X11/xorg.conf as planned. \u202d \u202c and \u202d \u202c I rebooted and GUI had \u202d! \u202c I tried to dare to include the resolution \u202d "\u202c \u202d 800x600" ahead of \u202d \u202c "640x480 \u202c \u202d" \u202c \u202d y. .. \u202d \u202c also accepted! \u202c We had gotten even what eLive failed. Once
\u202d \u202c and running the graphical environment, \u202d \u202c and added the corresponding CDs, \u202d \u202c I proceeded to execute the command console to activate alsaconf \u202d \u202c \u202d sound (\u202c then \u202d not work) \u202c, \u202d \u202c and \u202d \u202c after resetting the speakers and with different volumes program alsamixergui \u202d \u202c, \u202d \u202c the sound and it worked perfectly.
So that, \u202d \u202c after all this, \u202d \u202c my cousin and your computer can do with AMD Duron \u202d \u202c 800 \u202d \u202c \u202d \u202c \u202d \u202c Mhz and 128 MB of RAM \u202d \u202c \u202d \u202c (which was not capable of running Windows XP \u202d) No problem \u202c things like
- Manage files from the internal disk and from other usb \u202d \u202c with \u202d \u202c facilities provided PCManFM
- Documents, spreadsheets and other office items \u202d \u202c Abiword, Gnumeric and OpenOffice \u202d \u202c
- View and create PDFs with Xpdf and Evince \u202d \u202c
- Create posters and brochures with Scribus
- Listen to music in multiple formats (MP3, OGG, WMA \u202d \u202c , \u202d \u202c AAC, Flac \u202d \u202c, \u202d WAV, etc.) con Audacious
- Ver vídeos y películas mediante Smplayer (interfaz gráfica de Mplayer)
- Editar archivos de audio mediante Audacity
- Ver fotografías con Gpicview
- Editar y manipular fotos conGimp
- Dejar que sus niños jueguen con TuxPaint y Gcompris
- Usar la calculadora con Galculator.
- Organizar y distribuir el trabajo con su ordenador en tres escritorios o pantallas diferentes.
All this without any particular slowness on the part of the system. \u202d \u202c There is nothing about the internet as it is a desktop computer, \u202d \u202c and today is no Internet at home or a clear idea of \u200b\u200bwhether or not put . \u202d \u202c But where to put, \u202d \u202c will not have much problem either to navigate Iceweasel \u202d \u202c \u202d (\u202c \u202d \u202c Firefox in Debian \u202d) \u202c, \u202d \u202c tune via the Internet with \u202d \u202c or \u202d \u202c streamtuner exaile, share files \u202d \u202c \u202d \u202c \u202d \u202c amule and bittorrent, \u202d \u202c use amsn messenger with \u202d \u202c, \u202d \u202c etc.
Sincerely, \u202d \u202c I demasido spoken lightly on \u202d "\u202c how fast computers become obsolete \u202d" \u202c ...
