Idlier's Tech Craze

  I started using Linux in 1999 and my love for Linux never got eroded with time. Initially, I predicted that Linux would make it to the mainstream operating system (OS) within 10 years but sadly, it never happened. The consolation was the company Redhat, which supported the Redhat Linux distribution, turn commercial and made ripples on the OS industry for servers running Redhat Enterprise Linux. However, there was little progress on the desktop space for Linux.      After being a user of Linux for more than 20 years on and off, I should say I am not too optimistic about desktop Linux. Why even when Linux desktop is comparable to other desktop OSes or even better? Issues preventing wider acceptance: Proprietary drivers Some hardware companies don't open-sourced their drivers, making them not detected during installation, like Broadcom(network), Nvidia, and ATI (both graphics). Unless specific computers are preinstalled with Linux desktop, or being aware of proprietar...

Python logo from clipart-library.com Python is an interpreted high-level general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its use of significant indentation. Its language constructs as well as its object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects. Python is an open-source programming language that was made to be easy-to-read and powerful. A Dutch programmer named Guido van Rossum made Python in 1991. He named it after the television show Monty Python's Flying Circus. — Wikipedia I am not a programmer or developer by trade so I only learn programming languages (Borland C, Pascal, and Java) during my school days. I have actually no use for them except for general knowledge and am forced to pick them up for my studies.       Similar to programming, I did pick up scripting languages instead to automate or reduce my typing on the keyboard. The first was Windows Bat...

I have been a huge fan of the Linux operating system which beats Windows hands-down anytime.       I got to know Linux when I was trying to learn HP-UX when working at Hewlett Packard Singapore in 1999 as a ? specialist, a year before the fearful millennium bug hits. I was hoping to have a HP-UX similar operating system to practice at home. I chanced upon Linux and the first I tried was Redhat Linux. It was fun working on it and later found a more user-friendly Linux called Mandrake Linux. I played with Mandrake Linux more than Redhat as it was more of a hobby than work.       I also got to know Windows NT, a server operating system from Windows to compete with Unix. Windows NT was less interesting compared to Linux but have better commercial value for the IT industry so I also spend quite a lot of time setting up and playing with it in my spare time at work.       I was not intimidated by Linux as I was comfortable working wit...
