Archlinux with Xfce4

Yess. There ara so many people using arch. They love it because it is very frugal and elegant distro. Many of these people use Xfce4 as a desktop environment.

I decided to give a chance the arch with Xfce4. Xfce4 is a very lightweight desktop environment. And see:

• The right click on the desktop will show you a application menu. This makes you gain ease of use.
• The Gtk applications are compatible with native theme.
• Installation is not too hard, but also not too easy.
• Installation is based on internet connection. It makes you download what you need to.
  
• The booting is incredibly fast.
• So is the shutting down. (10 second)

If you like gtk and don't want to use gnome, Xfce4 can ce a good alternative for you.

happy new year

I have already forgotten that I had a blog like that.

Now I can be claimed for this blog:)

Happy new year.

waiting kde 4...

KDE is announced KDE4 second beta on September 6, 2007. Whereas I'm a gnome user it made me more exicted as I expected. As you see in the picture on the left, KDE will have an excellent user interface.
Maybe after that gnome users will think about using gnome instead of KDE. However; I think it will make gnome change into a better interface.
Time, a little bit...

Future of gnome

While there is a great amount of c programs for gnome destpo environment, there is also some another platforms and hi-level languages which are used to be future of gnome.
For instance, python is still one of them. With its interpreter and pygtk module or wx it can be used developing under gnome. Despite it is a powerful language, it can be hard for developing complex applications.
So there is two alteratives, too. One of them is the mono project. Mono project is a free .net environment for linux. It's been developing under the gpl licence. With mono you can use c#, java, ironpython, vbscript. You can start to program under mono with installing monodevelop, a free ide for mono.
The another one is a known friend, java. Java is now open, If you have troubles with java you can use jython. With jython, you can compile bytecode of your any python script, and run it on the JVM.

gentoo :))

Yes I've met a new Linux distro for me Gentoo. The freedom that Gentoo provides makes you a real Linux user:) Actually I must confess that was very difficult to install Gentoo system for me. But it was my fault (I tried it with the old version of the Gentoo hand book:)). However when everything has finished, i agreed that Gentoo is the symbol of freedom in Linux galaxy.

First of all I must say for the end-users and people new to Gentoo you'd better it to install for stage 3. Because the first stage you what need to succee is to finish the installation of the base system. And you can give the command
emerge -Ud world
you can absolutely compile everything for your system. Gentoo is absolutely a world of choices.
The important point is you can compile the code with the parameters exactly you want with USE flags as you have chanche to choose the programs.

Secondly you can choose the kernel which you want to install. there an upto 20 different kernel. Moreover, you may compile the kernel chosen by manually or the kernel compiler of gentoo "genkernel". And if you give the command,
genkernel --menuconfig all
you can choose compiling parameters.
There is another important point is your /etc/make.conf file. This file is important for installation of programs. I will mention it later.
And after the installation of grub now you have a free terminal:)
and now you can start with the command
emerge gnome-light gdm
or emerge kde //installs all
emerge gnome //installs all
However the make.conf is important, and don't forget to emerge -Ud world.

so far so good, :D
wish you to read this page in gentoo later:D

The dns problem for ubuntu

Actually I got this problem while using suse. How this happen I don't know; however, I know the solution I think.
The problem is opening another page which has a different URL entered. For instance, when you enter http://www.yahoo.com then the www.google com page opens. This makes the user crazy. If you live such things, it means you have a dns problem. But don't worry, there is a solution of every problem in Linux.

first you will press Alt+F2
you will see this box below

Enter the command:

gksudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

Then enter the password. You will edit the text on file dhclient.conf.
Find the line

#prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;

(this IP may differ)
and edit it like this

prepend domain-name-servers 195.175.39.39,195.175.39.40;

(don't forget to erase the shell at start of line)
