The Journey to a Linux Desktop

blogger /

As the holidays approach and we wind down to the end of the year, we all tend to look back on our accomplishments. This year, I am reminded that I am approaching the one-year anniversary of my move to a Linux desktop. For those of you who really want to learn Linux, I hope my experiences will help you take the plunge in 2010!

What prompted my move: I needed a more powerful laptop. I had my personal laptop configured as a dual-boot machine ever since Novell bought SUSE. Dual-boot is fine, but in my haste to get things done, I would inevitably drop back to Windows … and that just wasn’t working out well. Time to dig in, work through the issues, and find new, powerful applications that ran on Linux.

The hardware: Last year’s holiday season yielded some great deals. While I could have bought a new system with Linux installed so that driver availability would be guaranteed, I decided to take a gamble and buy a Dell Studio 15 off the shelf at Staples and work through any driver issues I might encounter. This unit has a 64 bit processor, a 320G hard drive, and 4G of RAM.

Driver issues: While SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP 2 ships with a great many drivers (including loads of printer drivers), I had two problematic pieces off hardware: the ATI graphics card and the Broadcom wireless card. After lots of searching, I finally found the best answers for my issues at www.opensuse.org. If you go the Ubuntu route as many people do, the Ubuntu forums will be your best resources.

* For information on how to install Broadcom wireless drivers on SUSE please see: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Broadcom_(BCM4306)_WLAN_Installation_under_SUSE.

* For information on dealing with ATI’s graphics cards, please see: http://en.opensuse.org/Ati.

* For a list of models and hardware compatible with SUSE, please see: http://en.opensuse.org/HCL or http://www.suselinuxhcl.org/.

Software replacement: One of the main reasons people avoid moving to Linux is that many pieces of commercially-available software are written only for Windows. There has been more movement to write for the Mac, but Linux support can lag behind. Enter the open source community. I found some great replacements for software I use regularly … and some of it actually works better than the Windows versions I had been using! Here are just a few of the applications I am currently running:

* Office Productivity Suite: If you have not looked at OpenOffice recently, you should definitely take some time to explore! The 3.0 version is greatly improved. I have been able to do most of what I need with OpenOffice, and actually like the Calc program better than Excel. SUSE also comes with Acrobat Reader and Planner (a project management program) already installed.

* Photo Editing: Gimp is included with SLED and does everything I would have used Paint for, and more.

* Diagrams: For the more advanced Visio functions, check out Dia. If you just need to do a flowchart or some other simple diagrams, I recommend using Draw in OpenOffice.

* Multifunction Printer Software: HP has some great tools included with their Officejet All-in-One printer/scanner/copier/fax machines. While I found the printer drivers for my unit (a 7410) included with SLED, I really wanted some of the more advanced functions (for example, scan to PDF) that I had on Windows. Enter the HP Toolbox found at http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html. When this program installs, it uses xsane for scanning documents to image files for PDF. I got all of the functions I needed … plus, I no longer get those annoying update messages from Windows!

* Broadband Wireless: OK, I know this is actually hardware, but when I migrated I could not find a version of Verizon’s VZAccess Manager to connect the card. After a bit of digging, I found that I could configure the card as a modem (which it is) and use Kinternet as my dialer. Quick and simple and no need to install more software. A quick search at www.google.com/linux should get you the answers you need for your card. If not, instead of putting in the card name, try searching on “EVDO card.”

As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, I have been working with this laptop since last December and absolutely love it. The only way to truly learn Linux is to work with it every day. If you are bored over your Christmas break and want to play, give Linux a try. I will never go back!

Linux Hard Drive Recovery To Fix Hard Drive Read Errors

blogger /

There are several ways in which your Linux hard drive may fail. It can be quite distressing situation, as unlike any other part of the computer, when the hard drive fails, it takes your significant data with it. When any other component of the system fails, it may be expensive to replace them, but your data remains intact. Hard drive failure cause data loss in any form and need Linux Hard Drive Recovery to be handled.

One of the common ways in which early issues with the hard drives apparent themselves is with the problems in reading a specific area of hard drive or entire disk: a hard drive read error. When hard drive develops any bad sector where it cannot reliably read data, you can not identify the bad sector until you attempt to read data from the affected sector.

If the bad sector is occupied by any rarely used file or directory, you might not discover for several weeks or months. But, many Linux hard drives start with a smattering of the bad sectors and then grow more later on. It does not happen always, but it may occur and this is quite essential to detect such read errors as soon as possible.

For this purpose, most of the operating systems include utility programs for testing hard drive for read errors and integrity. The tools scan the hard drive and read contents of each sector, find problems, and report them. You should run these tools on a regular basis to keep your hard drive free from errors.

In Linux operating system, fsck is such an utility to perform Linux Hard Drive Recovery. It scans hard drive and file system to detect and repair possible problems. Although, this utility finds both read errors and file system corruption problems, consider that both these problems are completely different from each other.

In case if run this tool on a mounted hard drive, further data loss may occur. It the fsck can not find and fix the problem, hard drive remains unusable. In such circumstances, Linux Hard Drive Recovery Software come for your help.

Linux Hard Drive Recovery applications are particularly designed to perform in-depth scan of entire hard drive and extract all lost, missing, and inaccessible data from it. The applications are easy and safe to use as they have simple graphical user interface and read-only conduct.

Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is the most popular tool to recover lost data from Linux hard drive in all cases of data loss. The software recovers data from Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, FAT32, FAT16, and FAT12 file system volumes. It is compatible with all major Linux distributions including SUSE, Fedora, Debian, and Red Hat.
