life at its best
My del.icio.us bookmarks GitHub StreamBOOOoooo.. I am happy today! As expected Yahoo also listed my blog. Yahoo, no 2. search engine after google is also the best search engine. Thanks to Yahoobot for listing my blog. Now I am getting quite a good traffic to my blog. As I am fond of blogging, I will continue to blog as I get time. Ok! As my exams are going on, I do not use internet daily. So I am missing much.

Who am I?
Talking about yourself is really difficult, I don’t know where to begin, so I try with “100 things about me” method:
[work in progress 43/100]
Finally, my blog is listed by google. Today while googling, I made ego search & found that my blog is listed by google. I got excited. I was thinking why others blogs are listed & my blog not? But a great search engine like google searched my blog also my web page. Check it on google anildigital’s blog. Google is great! I am waiting for Yahoo! to list my blog. But surely Yahoo! will also list my blog. I regularly update my blog, this is why google listed my blog. If I update daily, google will cache it daily or once in a week. So updating the blog is important task for me. As I want to reach to the millions of people in the world and spread my thoughts to the world, I will try to update it regularly.
I have been using Linux since Red Hat 9 back in 2002. I have tried Knoppix, Ubuntu, Mandrake, SUSE, and other distributions, but I’ve always found myself coming back to Red Hat. When Red Hat stopped development of its free operating system, I was disappointed, but I ended up liking the Fedora Core series, including the latest FC3, even better. Why do I like it so much?
Fedora is a bleeding-edge distribution that contains the best of the open source world within its four installation CD-ROMs and DVD. I use KDE 3.3 for my desktop, Zsnes for my gaming, XMMS for music, Firefox for Web browsing, and Evolution for email. Fedora includes them all in its default installation, and runs them all well. (Although KDE is my favorite desktop environment, Fedora is by defauilt a GNOME distribution that includes the very latest GNOME version at the time of each release.)
Fedora Core 3 supports a great number of third-party applications, probably second in the industry only to Debian. Almost all the mainstream packages and software are ported to Fedora first, meaning you’re almost always certain that everything you’re using is the most up-to-date possible. Fedora 3 contains GNOME 2.8, KDE 3.3, Evolution 2.0, and xorg 6.8, to name a few, and newer bug-fix versions are available from its online updater, up2date.
Fedora Core 3 uses Anaconda, the same installer that the old Red Hat releases used. Anaconda detected all of my hardware with the exception of my Nvidia video card. I was able to get the official driver for it installed by going through the steps outlined at the official Nvidia message board.
After the distribution is installed, you can use Yum to add software packaged by Red Hat Package Manager (RPM). RPM files are binary packages, meaning you don’t have to download and compile programs from source code. Package managers such as Yum are great, because they automatically check packages for dependencies and install them for you accordingly. If there’s an RPM available for an application, you don’t have to worry about whether the application is compatible with FC3.
In addition to Yum, Fedora offers a version of Debian’s Advanced Package Tool (APT) (called apt4rpm) and Synaptic, a front end to APT that provides a graphical user interface for it. After installing Synaptic, finding and downloading software is just a matter of clicking on it, and then clicking Apply. APT and RPM support together is very powerful.
Everyone wants to be able to use their favorite programs without worrying about them crashing, and keep their documents private. Fedora Core 3 hasn’t crashed once on my machine since I installed it. As for security, Fedora was the first distribution to offer a Security-Enhanced Linux-enabled kernel with the installation, which provides better security through a set of access rules included in the kernel.
Although MP3 and NTFS support is missing, once you install Synaptic you can get almost all video files and DVDs to function, and NTFS support is just a few clicks away. Better yet, Fedora and a custom kernel compiled from the sources at kernel.org is a speedy force to be reckoned with.
The only complaint that I have about Fedora is that when GNOME or KDE releases a new (major) version of their desktop software, the updated packages are not included in Yum by default. Upgrading them from a third-party repository can result in broken packages, and can be dangerous. I love both GNOME and KDE, and being able to run the most up-to-date versions of both more easily would be wonderful.
When I have support questions, the community at www.fedoraforum.org and the Fedora forum at www.linuxquestions.org also my town based ‘Pune linux users group’ (PLUG) have been extremely helpful. These communities may have been built with members of the previous Red Hat communities — a very large user base.
It’s hard to believe that an OS this wonderful is free. When it comes to price, compatibility, and options, Fedora blows Windows and most other Linux distributions out of the water. Everything works, and there’s nothing more that I could ask for.
I don’t like these submissions. Writing continuously without understanding. All bunches of pages within few days. What a hectic work it is? I think this is deadening. As my branch is computer, I have to do printing work (tedious work!), continuously from start to the end of the day. These 5 to 6 days kills me. Can I manage it before date of term end? Today is 11 of April. I have to do it before 15 of April. I am speeding myself for that. Go to college early in the morning, grab the printer, take print outs throughout the day, making lot of corrections. Obviously most of the programs are not written by me. So I don’t like this useless work.
I read each and every tech magazine available. My favourite magazine is “Digit”. I like Digit because its originality. I am reading Digit since 1998, at that time its name was CHIP. I find most of the articles in Digit are unique. I also read PCQuest, it is also a very good magazine. But it lacks originality, the articles are helpful but most of them are tips and tricks that you can get from internet. Also PCQuest doesn’t give impression of tech magazine, with respect to designs, fonts, images. There is a magazine called CHIP (its a IC-CHIP) available from couple of years. This CHIP is also good. Obviously, because most of the team members were previously in Digit. The CHIP is the registered trademark of Vogel Burda Communication. Indian version of CHIP is published by TBW Publishing and Media. But when compared to Digit, CHIP fails in many points like originality, designs. Also there are Linux for u, Living Digital, IT technology. Linux for u is good. As it is related to Linux, its all articles are related to Linux and Open source. According to me this is the only magazine India related to purely Linux and Open source. The others like Living Digital and IT technology are not up to that mark. They lack in many factors quality articles, designs, material is not structured also originality.
I think these magazines provide us very valuable information. They teach us many technologies by giving articles, graphical explanations. As these magazines are in touch of current tech happenings, we always get in touch of the current happenings. They provide various hardware reviews. So we come to know which products are better. Sometimes I get inspired from some articles, also there were many articles which changed my style of using of computers, my thinking. They give us CDs/DVDs with magazines at a low price. The software provided is really useful and up to date. I think they made my computing really fast and doing it.
One day, someone said to me when broadband becomes cheaply available to us the what is the use of such tech magazines. As we can get every latest and required information from internet. What is the future of these tech magazines? My answer is they are permanent, there future is bright. When broadband will come, there will be competition. At that time, who will provide us reviews about which broadband is better. Obviously these tech magazines. Such many solutions can be solved only by the tech magazines.
In India, there are very few tech magazines compared to US. Also only couple of genuine quality magazines. I think this number should increase. Finally, I like the technology magazines very much.

This is how I connect to the internet on PCQLinux 2005.
I got this procedure from internet
Procedure:-
———————————
[Modem0]
Modem=/dev/ttyS0
Baud=115200
SetVolume=0
Dial Command = ATDT
init1=ATZ
init2=AT+CRM=1
FlowControl= Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer tata]
Username= internet
Password= internet
Phone=#777
Stupid Mode= 1
Inherits = Modem0
———————————–
Copy the above fragment in /etc/wvdial.conf
Reliance users should use username and password as their
phone number. also Change ‘Dialer’ field from tata to reliance
Note:For FC3 (PCQL2005), you have to have the respective name
server entries in file /etc/resolv.conf in the format:
nameserver [Primary DNS address]
nameserver [Secondary DNS address]
For Reliance, use:
Code:
nameserver 202.138.103.100
nameserver 202.138.97.193
For TATA use:
Code:
nameserver 203.197.12.30
nameserver 202.54.6.50
for TATA
execute-#wvdial tata
for Reliance
execute-#wvdial reliance
you may have to try this command a number of times
you will get quiet a number of messages
here. I am assuming that your modem is at COM1
if it is at COM2 change /dev/ttyS0 to
/dev/ttyS1 …
if all goes well your interface
is up now.
Today morning, when I started my comp for checking mails & latest news by my feedreader. I got so much excited when I read in Lifehacker that Gmail in now going to 2GB. As a google fan, this news is joy for me. Check out What’s new on Gmail?
Just few days before Yahoo announced to go for 1GB mail from their current 250MB. I am waiting how yahoo reacts with this. But Google have again showed that it is ahead and competing with Google is not easy game.
