GNU/Linux - From the history of browsers and toys

Image
Pride Google Last week proved historic. At the joy of the entire progressive mankind, Google solved the birth of a new browser Chrome. The first beta test, it was decided to those who do not mind, that is exclusively for users of MS Windows. Beta-testing is successful, critical errors were found not only in the program, but even in the licence of the browser. Versions for Linux and Mac users are expected later. A specially for linuksoidov come up in Google occupation far more interesting than simply discuss Sedo new browser user interface. The Corporation submitted a new engine for the execution of scripts JavaScript V8 ( code.google.com/p/v8 ). This interpreter is not only a direct part Chrome, but also distributed in the form of free code that can be compiled in a separate console application or introduce any program. Personally, I just console version and tested. V8, without a doubt, is the main pride of Google. To date, this interpreter has shown the highest productivity scripts co...

Linux - The choice of habitat.

What good Linux is the opportunity for a full setup. A graphical environment also has had this property. Because, unlike Windows, window managers are not built, their exists quite a number. And absolutely for every taste - you can put something bulky, but with fantastic special effects (Vista rest), and something very light, small and quick. In fact, all systems, "Rice windows" can be divided into two groups: graphic environment and image managers. In this article I will try to describe and compare (to the best of my modest capabilities) them. It should remember that there are very subjective judgement, and that one person is a major drawback, for another - dignity. Besides not forget that when choosing a major role played by personal preferences (for example, someone just did not like the topic accessible design windows). Integrated working environment Gnome Very large Wednesday with a large number of applications. Uses library GTK. People, as they claim, are trying to creat...

Linux - Configuration VMware

Image
Do you often faced with a situation where urgently needed to put guest OS on a virtual machine, a hand was not such a habitual GUI interface? Or, conversely, was virtualization product, for example, VMware Player, which does not have a built configurator? Not bad, because the best configuration is the one you wrote yourself! Why I chose exactly VMware? First, most virtualization products simply do not have such functionality, which is available at the product from VMware inc. Secondly, the product most often used in a professional environment, and to the end user it is more friendly than, for example, the same Parralels Workstations. And finally, third, "January" is able to emulate many systems, to enter your machine have enough hardware resources. All described actions carried out by me under VMware Workstation 6, but can be used and earlier versions of the program, making the configuration file minor changes. On the Fusion can not say anything, because until now the most ud...

Linux - Vim. Basics

Image
At times there is a need for a powerful text editor (and sometimes exclusively for the console). Under Linux, there are two very popular and expanding applications: Vim and Emacs. They both support the myriad functions, which, with the possibility of adding what is missing (if you need more than just a set text). This article will cover the first couple of the editors. Worth mentioning that both have huge army of fans and frequently erupted holivary about the best of them. Vim means Vi Improved, improved vi. Vim developed from 1988 - the first year, so it is understandable why this is such a monster (though Emacs will pomonstruoznee). In addition, there are versions for various operating systems - such as Linux, Win16, Win32, DOS, various Unix, BeOS and many others. In addition, Vim uses many users quite unusual approach to editing the text: there are two modes - command (as is clear from the title, then used different commands) and Paste (directly enter text). So the first step is to ...

Beginning expansion Google?

Image
The most discussed news in the field of information technology has become a production company Google browser Chrome . The most interesting of the topics discussed in connection with the exit of the browser - whether Google has finally been decided to move from sea to land, that is, from the Internet on the desktop? And that, in connection with this expected? Google, in general, has long been no secret of its plans for conquest of new markets and, primarily, as in every segment of the desktop software. True, far beyond the plans it is not visited. Google produced various desktop applications (for example, the same Picasa), but call it a serious development for a large company such as Google, neither language is not rotated, neither hand is not raised. The browser - so, all the same, annex more than respectable, although, of course, Google with its resources well and could develop its own engine to display pages, rather than using WebKit from Safari. While, on the other hand, of course,...
