Go look at NL Computer Section, using either Ubuntu Linux or Ubuntu 8.04: Optimize For Speed And Performance.

I know you talk about RedHat linux, however it is same Linux command when you configure RedHat---the same concept.

Both RedHat and Ubuntu are the Debian Linux distribution---the same. Right?

Or use google.com finding RedHat forum site you will find many configurations there.

LOL, converting from graphically ACCESS report in Word format into RTF format!

I remembered how scary when it come to convert from Word format to RTF format---lost whole graphically when I was college student 20 years ago!!!

Alternative using ACCESS report in Word format graphically, you can convert it into PDF format if you have Adobe acrobat or InDesign.

LOOK: this thread is 2 years old---way way old!

No need further posting anymore!

I am book freak that i always buy advanced to professional technical/programming books that has examples, source files, useful links and more---further than google.com i found. Very few beginning to advanced books depend on what i look for.

If you are PHP/XML developer to parse those data into Flash website dynamically here are following books at below:
(base on AS2/AS3 plus Flex 2 & 3 including AMFPHP remoting and Flash Media Server 3)

My favorite Flash/Dreamweaver sites: www.kirupa.com, www.tutorialized.com, and www.dmxzone.com (also flzone.com, fwzone.com and dnzone.com as family site)

From my distance schooling I took in 2004 earning my BFA degree in Visual Communications: I already have several books for classroom requirement that are heavy on advanced web developement with hand-on lab class (online). That's how it influenced me my habits of programming book collection each time technology trends changed dramatically as i catch up polishing my skills frequently.

I was re-pursed further 18-months accelerated online school in order to upgrade my 1999 Web Development certification into Bachelor degree for company's job requirement/qualification while i was still self-employed running my website business.

@sbucareer

You are welcome! I am totally shocked looking up the site mentioned above that has closed captioning online training programs.

Wow! The first online training program (lynda collection) has offered the closed captioning! Hooray!!! I suffered from those both online training and classroom-led training professors rejected my special accomodation complying to the American with the Disabilites Act of 1990 (ADA) in the past 5 years.

Thank you for providing me a link that is what I look for my Flash Actionscript 3 migration moving from Actionscript 1 (skip Actionscript 2 i missed out 3 years).

I hope it is worth for me!

scantee:

@all

thanks for the os you people have listed

please i want know if is the same procedures we are using to load xp (os) and Linux (os)

@scantee

You ask us to know if there is the same procedures using to load XP OS and Linux OS.

1. Both are same how to install OS, but different format: pre-installed, CD, or download iso file. Both are very largest file size over 450MB.

2. Both XP and Linux are different for unzipped file: XP uses .exe, .winRAR and .zip while Linux uses .tar gz and .deb.

3. Both are same functionality to access system using menu but different names as below:

XP: Start button with sub-menus such as All Programs, My Document, My Pictures, My Music, My Computer, Control Panel, goes on,

Linux: Applications, Places, System. (each menu has multiple sub-menus to select, I can't list all because individual choose Full, minual, or custom Linux installation differently)

4. XP has limited applications you have to buy separately such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Products (Photoshop, Dreamwaver, Flash, Illustrator, Indesign), other. While Linux has over 4,000 free applications via Add/Remove Applications or Synatic Package Manager to select what you want to install---very few commerical applications.

5. Both XP and Linux has different names for Instant Messengers such as Yahoo Messenger, MSN/Windows Live.

6. XP is easy to uninstall OS entirely by formatting, while Linux is difficult to uninstall---use XP OS CD to boot up selecting "R" to repair with the command 'FIXMDR" to wipe off Linux partition off the system. (i provide step-by-step uninstall Linux on different topic somewhere, not here).

7. Both XP and Linux has different system command differently, not the same!!!

8. XP does work on any Windows applications. Linux needs to add WINE emulator software for Windows applications installing on Linux system make them work. Not all of Windows applications work on Linux system, you have to look up WINE site FIRST seeing which Windows Applications work on Linux system before you install them.

For example, Microsoft Office 2008 will not work on Linux system but only Microsoft Office XP does work on Linux system. Adobe Flash CS3 will not work on Linux system but Macromedia Flash MX (version 6, old) does work on Linux system. You see my point! So WINE system programmers still work on fixing bugs on all new version Windows applications to make it work on Linux system. (NOT ONLY LINUX, also other such as BSD, Fedora, and MAC).

9. There are hundred listings comparing XP and Linux procedures---some same and some different.

That is why most PC users prefer DUAL-BOOT for both XP and Linux OS allowing to switch back and forth on needed Windows Application on their system---no problem!!!

You can have installed both OS: XP and Ubuntu on your system. Your system boot prompt asking you which OS you want----wait for your respond within 10-30 seconds. If no respond from you, then your system boot assumes to choose the default OS by order.

I hope you get the bigger picture how OS works!!!

wumi11:

I feel am little late from the real fun here

I think you guys forgot to mention

Novell Netware and Unix

those two are operating Systems too

And man Windows always stand out as the best because its easy to use though Apple is great
For Graphics and Video Editing While linux has always been known to have highly Secure servers.

@wumi11

Wrong again about Novell Netware.  We talk about HARDWARE OPERATING SYSTEM, not NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM. Unix is still listed under LINUX and BSD for the same hardware OS procedures/principles.

You don't know the difference between hardware operating system and network operating system.

According to the wikipedia, NOVELL NETWARE is a network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a PC, and the network protocols were based on the archetypal Xerox XNS stack.

NetWare has been superseded by Open Enterprise Server (OES). The latest version of NetWare is v6.5 Support Pack 7, which is identical to OES 2, NetWare Kernel.

For more details about NOVELL NETWARE, >>CLICK HERE<<

Another according to the wikipedia, UNIX (officially trademarked as UNIX, sometimes also written as Unix with small caps) is a computer operating system originally developed in 1969 by a group of AT&T employees at Bell Labs including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie and Douglas McIlroy. Today's Unix systems are split into various branches, developed over time by AT&T as well as various commercial vendors and non-profit organizations.

Today, in addition to certified Unix systems, Unix-like operating systems such as Linux and BSD are commonly encountered. Sometimes, "traditional Unix" may be used to describe a Unix or an operating system that has the characteristics of either Version 7 Unix or UNIX System V.

I hope you understand this clearly about the difference about OS.

Finally, i do not live in Nigeria to answer your question at below:

Who can tell me the Faster Mobile telecommunication Internet service Provider in Nigeria?

@sbucareer,

I did took Adobe Director (formerly Macromedia Director) classroom assignment that was part of my bachelor of Fine Arts degree credit requirement to be earned.

Whew! I passed with B grade developing Director using Lingo and Javascript coding with existing interactive gaming modification. I picked the easy one: Space Invader. The problem was that Space Invader coding I found from google was made in Spanish at that time i was rusty reading in Spanish that i took Spanish class 20 years ago.

Yeah, it was time consuming for me getting Spanish translation into English in a hurry in order for me to modify Space Invader for class assignment required which was due on Saturday deadline(weekly assignment on 18 months accelerated course).

Learning Director with Lingo scripting was TOUGH and much differently than Flash CS3 with Actionscript I already familiarized with.

Sorry! @Sbucareer, it was 4 years ago i don't remember how I did! However from google search today I found helpful tutorial tips for you at below:

Nope! I did not forget about RedHat Linux. I talk about 10 TOP LINUX that is hottest (hotcake) all over the world where most ppl download all the time. I stick with the linux distro watch site all the time.

If I put 25 TOP LINUX, i am sure RedHat Linux will be there listed.

@gamine

Very consistency simplified user-friendly site i see today! Keep up good work like @yawa-ti-de has said it all.

Abidemi_A:

@Yawa-ti-de,
Please what is wrong with using table-design?

@Abidemi_A

Nothing wrong with using table-design! But more favor using CSS (table-less design) instead of table-design. Today's newer browser are 100% support in CSS.

While oldest version browser (version 1-5) that does not support CSS, use table-design. (usually old slowest computer such as Pentium II with old OS: Windows 98 and IE 5 or Navigator 3, where PC users refuse to upgrade newer version)

That is my opinion based on my experience over 20 years seeing technology dramatically change vivaciously.

If you do not like using CSS but prefer table-design, I suggest you installing Firework CS3 that will do convert from table-design into CSS when you are completely done table-design layout!

Also alternative Table vs. CSS convert editor somewhere using google.com. Good luck!

You post wrong section/forum board.

Gamine:

aww thanks

ive already applied to a school in Illinois, i didnt think the others met the mark

Florida, someone told me not to got there, lol, thats is a dead-end land

US Govt agencies sent employees to fly taking Florida Fine Art school as requirement in order to get degree before promoting the next level where programming or application he lack of.

It is only 6 weeks crash course with fully paid education plus hotel covered by US Govt. I mean must be over 5-20 years service of Govt.

If you are govt employee, then you have no choice changing school authorized by US Govt.

Anyway, good luck for pursing further Master degree in Visual Communications or Graphics Development!

Yes there are several Visual Communication (advanced web development with photography and technical skills) school for Master degrees at below link:

http://www.guidetoonlineschools.com/visual_communication.html

Look for Master degree of Fine Arts.

Yes, there have several Graphic Designers/Development of Bachelor and Master degree, too!

If you already earned bachelor degree previously, you will transfer those credits for Master degree shorten finish schooling between 1 yr to 18 months.

Florida, Illinois, Michigan and Massachusetts in the USA are best Fine Art schooling if you prefer on-campus instead of distance education. (i was told by senior Graphic expert in US government sending schooling in order to get degree quickly during his job)

Good luck!

Windows server hosting would allow you to run ASP (Active Server Pages) on your website, which is placing dynamic content on your website using computer scripts. Also many options such as ASP mail, Access Database, ASP.NET, and SQL Database, IIS, and PHP. Windows hosting also allows for publishing websites with FrontPage.

With Linux/Unix server hosting, you have the ability to integrate Chmod permission, Mod Rewrite, Apache Web server, as well as MySQL database and PHP.

PHP coding will not work on Windows hosting unless you install Apache Server for Windows (WAMP) on your system. WAMP stands for Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

ASP coding will not work on Linux hosting unless you install adding 'Apache::ASP' module into hidden Apache Server (http conf) directory to support ASP. (LAMP, stands for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP).

Please educate yourself as following link below:

Which Is Right For Me: Windows Hosting or Linux - Unix Hosting?

[/list]

Some websites may be included in one or more of these categories. For example, a business website may promote the business's products, but may also host informative documents, such as white papers. There are also numerous sub-categories to the ones listed above. For example, a porn site is a specific type of eCommerce site or business site (that is, it is trying to sell memberships for access to its site). A fan site may be a dedication from the owner to a particular celebrity.

Websites are constrained by architectural limits (e.g., the computing power dedicated to the website). Very large websites, such as Yahoo!, Microsoft, and Google employ many servers and load balancing equipment such as Cisco Content Services Switches to distribute visitor loads over multiple computers at multiple locations.

In January of 2007, Netcraft, an Internet monitoring company that has tracked Web growth since 1995, reported that there were 106,875,138 Web sites with domain names and content on them in 2007, compared to just 18,000 Web sites in August 1995.
