			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Installing Sabayon Linux is much easier than installing Gentoo, because you don&#8217;t really have to tinker with command lines to do so.  Even when computer users who want to install Sabayon Linux onto brand new hard disk, they don&#8217;t really have to use the ugly Fdisk text script to create new partition table for their hard disk.  Wait, let backtrack a bit.  Why do a computer user who wants to install Sabayon Linux need to create brand new partition table for his or her brand new hard disk?  It&#8217;s because a brand new hard disk has no partition table to start with, and Sabayon Linux isn&#8217;t going to recognize a hard disk if it has no partition table.  So, without using the ugly Fdisk, what can a computer user use to create new partition table for brand new hard disk in Sabayon Linux?  Simple, when running Sabayon Linux in LiveCD environment, just use the command line emerge to install Gparted.  Like this, {<strong><em>emerge gparted</em></strong>}.  Once Gparted has been installed onto Sabayon LiveCD environment, you can use Gparted to create new partition table for your brand new hard disk.</p>
<p>Gparted is prettier and easier to use than Fdisk since it&#8217;s a graphical user interface with intuitive features, therefore it&#8217;s a welcome sight for new Linux users.  Hint:  once Gparted is installed onto LiveCD environment, it&#8217;s existed inside RAM only, because rebooting the LiveCD, you would reset LiveCD environment back to the default, out of the box settings again.  This action removes Gparted as if you had never installed Gparted, ever.</p>
<p>After you have created new partition table for your brand new hard disk, you only have to open up a terminal, become root, and then type in the command {<strong><em>installer</em></strong>} to fire up the installer manager&#8217;s graphical user interface.  At the installer&#8217;s graphical user interface, you just have to read the options it presents to you carefully and follow through the onscreen instruction within the installer manager to complete the installation process of Sabayon Linux.  As now, Sabayon Linux is at version number 8.  Once you had installed Sabayon Linux, make sure you remove the LiveCD and reboot your computer so you can boot into Grub and from Grub into Sabayon Linux.</p>
<p>Basically, using Sabayon Linux is pretty much similar to how you use Gentoo.  So, your first task is to make sure your Internet is working within Sabayon Linux.  Once the connection to the Internet has been established, you can begin the update process for Sabayon Linux.  How?</p>
<ol>
<li>Open up a terminal, become root, and type in {<strong><em>emerge &#8211;sync</em></strong>}</li>
<li>When emerge &#8211;sync is done, type in {<strong><em>layman -S</em></strong>}</li>
<li>If the system asks you to do emerge portage, then you should do so. How?  Type in the command, {<strong><em>emerge portage</em></strong>} into terminal as root.</li>
</ol>
<p>So, what on earth is emerge?  Well, emerge is sort of like Yum on Fedora, Yast on openSUSE, apt-get on Ubuntu, and so on.  Basically, emerge is based on Portage.  Portage is the real package manager behind the scene which allows emerge to call it to interact with source packages.  So, when you do the command emerge &#8211;sync, you&#8217;re actually telling emerge to update Portage package manager&#8217;s source archives/packages.  You can view emerge as command line tool which interacts with Portage (i.e., the package manager).</p>
<p>In my opinion, it seems Gentoo and Sabayon Linux rely on source packages and not binary packages, therefore installing software onto Gentoo or Sabayon Linux would be slower than doing the same thing on Ubuntu or Debian based Linux distributions.  Installing a source package usually requires the computer system to compile the source package first before the actual installation would begin.  Ubuntu or Debian based Linux distribution uses binary packages more often than source packages, therefore installing software on Ubuntu or Debian based Linux distribution is going to be faster as everything had already been defined.  Nonetheless, I think installing from source packages does have an advantage over binary packages, because installing source packages would only define the necessary features and variables and elements of a software that fit a specific computer environment.  This way the installed software might perform better and be more stable than otherwise.</p>
<p>So how do you go about installing software on Sabayon Linux (i.e., same for Gentoo)?  You do the following.</p>
<ol>
<li>Let say you want to install ClamAV onto Sabayon Linux, you would open up a terminal.</li>
<li>Become root!</li>
<li>Type in the command {<strong><em>emerge clamav</em></strong>}.</li>
</ol>
<p>Let say now you want to remove ClamAV from your Sabayon Linux system, but how?  You do the following.</p>
<ol>
<li>Open up a terminal!</li>
<li>Become root!</li>
<li>Type in the command {<strong><em>emerge -c clamav</em></strong>}</li>
</ol>
<p>In summary, using Sabayon Linux is very similar to how you would use Gentoo.  Obviously, if you never have played with Gentoo before, you might want to try Sabayon Linux out first since installing Sabayon Linux is easier than installing Gentoo.  Remember, it&#8217;s not that straight forward when you try to install Sabayon Linux onto a brand new hard disk, because you have to go through the process of creating a brand new partition table for your brand new hard disk.  VirtualBox users should go through the same process as users who want to install Sabayon Linux onto brand new hard disk, because VirtualBox users would have a brand new virtual hard disk when they create a brand new virtual machine.  When done installing Sabayon Linux, you should learn how to use emerge command lines to update Portage package manager, install source packages, and remove source packages.  Other than these necessary command lines and procedures, users should be able to use Sabayon Linux with ease since most things are accessible through graphical user interfaces.</p>

<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://essayboard.com/2012/01/10/ubuntu-expands-to-tv-a-video-shows-a-gorgeous-ubuntu-tv-prototype-in-action/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/jq_WaOLjdyQ/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p>Ubuntu boasts that Ubuntu TV is just TV.  No wires.  No boxes.  Ubuntu suggests Ubuntu TV integrates broadcast, time shift, online box office, personal cloud, apps and disk media experiences.  Why no wires or boxes?  I think as long the TV manufacturers install Ubuntu TV onto their TVs, out of the box experience Ubuntu TV will not require any additional wires or boxes besides the wires that come with the TVs.  Searching for <a class="zem_slink" title="Television program" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_program" rel="wikipedia">TV programs</a> should be enjoyable on Ubuntu TV since Ubuntu suggests it integrates an intelligent search for Ubuntu TV.  Here I quote Ubuntu&#8217;s own words on searching for TV programs with Ubuntu TV:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>Cable and satellite TV provide hundreds of channels already. Add online content and the choices increase exponentially. Ubuntu TV helps viewers find entertainment quickly, prioritising their most frequently-watched programmes. Search is ever-present and makes quick work of finding great content. No time to watch now? Single episodes or whole seasons can be recorded and enjoyed at your leisure. And because the TV is a shared device, viewers can create personalised playlists, to keep the kids&#8217; priorities separate from yours. (Source:  <a title="Experience Ubuntu TV" href="http://www.ubuntu.com/tv/experience" target="_blank">http://www.ubuntu.com/tv/experience</a>)</em></p>
<p>Furthermore, if I&#8217;m not mistaken, I think Ubuntu suggests that there will be apps for smartphones and tablets to be used in conjunction with Ubuntu TV so TV users will be able to enjoy side contents on particular shows/programs.  This way, TV users don&#8217;t really have to interrupt their TV shows/programs just to peek at additional information on the TV shows/programs that they&#8217;re watching. Perhaps, there will be Ubuntu TV remote apps for smartphones and tablets so TV users can control Ubuntu TV with such devices.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear how Ubuntu can be installed on TVs.  I surmise TV manufacturers might have to install Ubuntu at the get go before their TVs reach the customers.  According to VentureBeat article <em><a title="Ubuntu TV ‘for human beings’ unveiled at CES" href="http://venturebeat.com/2012/01/09/ubuntu-tv/" target="_blank">Ubuntu TV ‘for human beings’ unveiled at CES</a></em>, Ubuntu TV is free.  TV manufacturers might see that they can cut down the cost of not having to pay for TV operating system license, and you never know cost saving from TV manufacturers might make smart flatscreen TVs even cheaper for customers.  There is a service fee for each unit which Ubuntu will charge the TV manufacturers.</p>
<p>On Ubuntu&#8217;s website, there is a contact form which invites TV manufacturers and content providers to contact Ubuntu in regard to Ubuntu TV.  Perhaps, Ubuntu is inviting TV manufacturers and content providers to test out Ubuntu TV and Ubuntu will provide the support in such matter?  I sure hope many TV manufacturers and content providers will support Ubuntu TV.</p>
<p>Of course, Ubuntu TV is best to be installed on smart TVs, but being true to open source Ubuntu is allowing geeks to download and install Ubuntu TV onto their computers.  Ubuntu&#8217;s wiki has the instruction on how to download and install Ubuntu TV onto a computer.  The instruction is <a title="Install Ubuntu TV" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTV/Contributing" target="_blank">here</a>.  Since Ubuntu TV is available for download freely, I think people are going to be using Ubuntu TV in innovative fashions.  One example might be that someone is going to install Ubuntu TV onto <a class="zem_slink" title="USB flash drive" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive" rel="wikipedia">USB flash drive</a> so he or she can turn a dumb flatscreen TV into a smart flatscreen TV, but this only works if a dumb flatscreen TV has a USB port.</p>

<p>Watching <a class="zem_slink" title="Netflix" href="http://www.netflix.com/" rel="homepage">Netflix</a> on <a class="zem_slink" title="Linux" href="http://www.kernel.org/" rel="homepage">Linux</a> is possible, but it&#8217;s not possible in a sense that you can watch Netflix directly on Linux.  Netflix is  using <a class="zem_slink" title="Silverlight" href="http://silverlight.net/" rel="homepage">Microsoft&#8217;s Silverlight</a> to stream movies.  Unfortunately, Silverlight isn&#8217;t fully working with Linux, therefore Linux users have to watch Netflix on <a class="zem_slink" title="Windows" href="http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWS" rel="homepage">Windows</a> or Mac machines.  To circumvent the problem, Linux users can install <a class="zem_slink" title="VMware" href="http://www.vmware.com/" rel="homepage">VMware</a> or <a class="zem_slink" title="Parallels Workstation" href="http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/" rel="homepage">Parallels</a> or VirtualBox to run a Windows or Mac <a class="zem_slink" title="Virtual machine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine" rel="wikipedia">virtual machine</a>.</p>
<p>This setting works for me.  I use VirtualBox to run <a class="zem_slink" title="windows 7 migration" href="http://www.symantec.com/business/cmp/theme/?cmp_id=windows7&amp;theme_id=win7_migrate" rel="symantec">Windows 7</a> virtual machine.  My virtual machine has at least 3 GB of <a class="zem_slink" title="Random-access memory" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory" rel="wikipedia">RAM</a>, max on graphic card memory, Bridge network, <a class="zem_slink" title="VirtualBox" href="http://www.virtualbox.org" rel="homepage">Guest Additions</a> installed with experimental 3D hardware support, and guest Windows 7 is up to date with all software.  If you don&#8217;t have at least 3 GB of RAM for your Windows 7 virtual machine, you can try to start with around 500 MB of RAM to see if this is stable enough to do most things virtually within a Windows 7 virtual machine.  If not, you can always bump the RAM up little by little until your host machine runs out of RAM (i.e., RAM reserves for a virtual machine).</p>
<p>A weird snag I encountered while using the setting above is that Chrome isn&#8217;t working well with Netflix.  I had to use IE9 to watch Netflix smoothly.  Chrome tends to pop Netflix out of fullscreen mode and then Netflix goes black, the stream of the movie stops, and so everything else.  With IE9, I can watch Netflix in fullscreen mode without trouble.  I haven&#8217;t yet tested Firefox with Netflix in this sort of virtual environment.  Perhaps, Firefox might work, but I clearly do not know!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:About_VirtualBox_OSE.png"><img class="zemanta-img-inserted zemanta-img-configured" title="English: Original source file of the “About Vi..." src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/About_VirtualBox_OSE.png/300px-About_VirtualBox_OSE.png" alt="English: Original source file of the “About Vi..." width="300" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Wikipedia</p></div>
<p>Some of us love to virtualize <a class="zem_slink" title="Windows" href="http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWS" rel="homepage">Windows</a> 7 inside a host, because we think we need the host to be as secure as it could be and the virtualization would be a sort of sandbox to add one extra layer of <a class="zem_slink" title="Security" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security" rel="wikipedia">security</a> for the <a class="zem_slink" title="Virtual machine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine" rel="wikipedia">virtual machine</a>.  Of course, the security of the sandbox would give a false sense of security for whoever runs it if he or she isn&#8217;t keen on securing the virtual machine also.  Some hackers could be so smart and create a hack which allows him or her to leap from the virtual environment into the host environment.  Plus, what the use for a virtual machine if it isn&#8217;t secure enough to be used, right?  I think you get the gist.</p>
<p>Anyhow, the idea for those who want to virtualize Windows 7 inside VirtualBox 4.1.2 could hit a snag if they also want to run <a class="zem_slink" title="VirtualBox" href="http://www.virtualbox.org" rel="homepage">Guest Additions</a> for Windows 7 virtual machine.  How do I know this?  I tried to install Guest Additions the normal way by clicking on Device &gt; Install Guest Additions, but this method failed me as it could not find Guest Additions anywhere.  I guess for an unknown reason, VirtualBox 4.1.2 failed to include Guest Additions somehow.  Of course, this might not happen to everyone, but it might be just me.  Nonetheless, if you are one of those people who experiences this exact situation, don&#8217;t sweat.  Just go to <a title="VirtualBox" href="http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.2/" target="_blank">download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.2/</a>, and then you need to download VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.2.iso.  Get back to VirtualBox window, click on the Windows 7 virtual machine, click on Settings &gt; Storage, and make sure you add VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.2.iso as virtual CD/DVD disk file.  It helps if you remember where you had saved your VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.2.iso on the host machine.</p>
<p>During the installation of your Guest Additions for Windows 7 virtual machine inside VirtualBox on a host machine, you might hit another snag where an error would complain that it could not find or open d3d9.dll file.  It might be the permission for d3d9.dll file is too strict.  You need to allow write permission for d3d9.dll file before Guest Additions could finish the installation.  So, when you see d3d9.dll error, don&#8217;t exit the Guest Additions installer, but make sure you are inside your Windows 7 virtual machine, go to Windows\System32\ and search for d3d9.dll file, right click on it and choose Properties, click on Security tab, and then from here you need to allow write permission for all users.  Get back to Guest Additions installer and try to finish installing the Guest Additions.  When done installing Guest Additions, don&#8217;t forget to remove write permission for d3d9.dll file for all users so this file can once again be secure as before.</p>
<p>In conclusion, Windows 7 virtual machine inside VirtualBox on a <a class="zem_slink" title="Linux" href="http://www.kernel.org/" rel="homepage">Linux</a> host is ideal for security.  Nonetheless, if he or she forgets to secure Windows 7 virtual machine, he or she is not that secure in term of allowing Windows 7 virtual machine to be hacked easily.  If he or she is lazy, it&#8217;s best to use <a class="zem_slink" title="Network address translation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation" rel="wikipedia">NAT</a> network, but it&#8217;s always better to use Bridge network as it&#8217;s much more flexible.  NAT network hides the virtual machine inside a host&#8217;s network (i.e., not using the router&#8217;s DHCP or manual IPs), therefore one could say as long the host has a strong firewall, the virtual machine too could be protected by the same firewall.  Without the installation of Guest Additions, he or she could not open Windows 7 virtual machine in fullscreen mode, and so don&#8217;t forget to do this.</p>

<p>Here is how I enabled WebDAV on Fedora 16 (<em>before starting, you need to know how to use a terminal/shell and change into root account from terminal/shell</em>):</p>
<ol>
<li>I opened up ports 80 and 443 for the firewall</li>
<li>I disabled SELinux</li>
<ol>
<li>Open up the file vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux by typing in the command <strong>vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux</strong> as root inside a terminal</li>
<li>Change the line that says SELINUX=enforcing to <strong>SELINUX=disabled</strong></li>
<li>Save the /etc/sysconfig/selinux file and get out of vi</li>
<li>Reboot the machine</li>
</ol>
<li>I installed Apache Web Server</li>
<ol>
<li>Inside a terminal as root, type in the command <strong>yum -y install httpd</strong></li>
<li>Edit the file vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf by typing in the command <strong>vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf</strong> inside a terminal as root user</li>
<li>Change line #43 to <strong>ServerTokens Prod</strong></li>
<li>Change line #75 to <strong>KeepAlive On</strong></li>
<li>Change line #261 to <strong>root@localhost</strong></li>
<li>Change line #275 to <strong>ServerName localhost:80</strong></li>
<li>Change line #337 to <strong>AllowOverride All</strong></li>
<li>Change line #401 to <strong>DirectoryIndex index.html index.php</strong></li>
<li>Change line #535 to <strong>ServerSignature Off</strong></li>
<li>Comment out the line #758 to something like this <strong>#AdDefaultCharset UTF-8</strong></li>
<li>Save the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and get out of vi</li>
<li>Type the command <strong>systemctl start httpd.service </strong>inside the terminal as root user to start Apache web server</li>
<li>Type the command <strong>systemctl enable httpd.service </strong>to enable the starting of Apache web server on each fresh boot</li>
<li>Install PHP by typing command <strong>yum -y install php php-mbstring php-pear </strong>inside a terminal as root user</li>
<li>Type the command <strong>systemctl restart httpd.service </strong>inside a terminal as root user to restart Apache web server</li>
<li>Configuring SSL for Apache to serve websites in SSL mode (i.e., HTTPS) by installing mod_ssl, so type the command <strong>yum -y install mod_ssl </strong>inside a terminal as root user</li>
<li>Edit the file vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf by typing in the command <strong>vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf </strong>inside a terminal as root user</li>
<li>Uncomment the line #78 to <strong>DocumentRoot &#8220;/var/www/html&#8221;</strong></li>
<li>Uncomment the line #79 to <strong>ServerName localhost:443</strong></li>
<li>Uncomment line #112 if it&#8217;s not yet uncommented, so the line should look like this <strong>SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt</strong></li>
<li>Uncomment the line #119 if it&#8217;s not yet uncommented, so the line should look like this <strong>SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key</strong></li>
<li>Save the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf and get out of vi</li>
<li>Type the command <strong>systemctl restart httpd.service </strong>to restart the Apache web server</li>
</ol>
<li>Create WebDAV server/protocol</li>
<ol>
<li>Inside a terminal as root user, type in the command <strong>mkdir /home/WebDAV </strong>to create a directory named WebDAV</li>
<li>Change the owner for directory WebDAV by typing in the command <strong>chown apache. /home/WebDAV </strong>inside a terminal as root user</li>
<li>Change permission for WebDAV directory to 770 by typing in the command <strong>chmod 770 /home/WebDAV </strong>inside a terminal as root user</li>
<li>Make a webdav.conf file to configure WebDAV server by typing in the command <strong>vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/webdav.conf </strong>inside a terminal as root user</li>
<li>Type the lines below into the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/webdav.conf using vi editor:</li>
<li><strong>Alias /share /home/WebDAV</strong></li>
<li><strong>&lt;location /share&gt;</strong></li>
<li><strong>DAV On</strong></li>
<li><strong>SSLRequireSSL</strong></li>
<li><strong>Options None</strong></li>
<li><strong>AuthType Basic</strong></li>
<li><strong>AuthName WebDAV</strong></li>
<li><strong>AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/.htpasswd</strong></li>
<li><strong>&lt;LimitExcept GET OPTIONS&gt;</strong></li>
<li><strong>Order allow,deny</strong></li>
<li><strong>Allow from 192.168.1.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Require valid-user</strong></li>
<li><strong>&lt;/LimitExcept&gt;</strong></li>
<li><strong>&lt;/Location&gt;</strong></li>
<li>Stop typing the stuffs into the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/webdav.conf and save it and get out of vi</li>
<li>Type the command <strong>htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/.htpasswd fedora </strong>inside a terminal as root user to add password for fedora user to use WebDAV server</li>
<li>You will be asked to create a password and confirm password, so type in the same password twice</li>
<li>Now you need to restart the Apache server by typing in the command <strong>systemctl restart httpd.service </strong>inside a terminal as root user</li>
</ol>
</ol>
<p>Log into the WebDAV server by using <strong>https://192.168.1.</strong><em>(enter the last bit of number for your server IP address here)</em><strong>/share</strong>.  You will be asked to enter username and password.  The username should be fedora, and the password is the password that you had created earlier.</p>
<p>Troubleshooting:  You should check to see if you can ping your Apache server. Check to see if Apache server has a daemon running (i.e., ps aux | grep httpd).  Check to make sure firewall ports 80 and 443 are opened.  Check to make sure SELinux is disabled.  Check to see the configuration file for httpd.conf is correctly configured.  Check to see the configuration file for webdav.conf is correctly configured.  If permission 770 for /home/WebDAV isn&#8217;t working, try to change it to 755 or 777.  Make sure you had enabled SSL for Apache correctly.  If all failed, you might want to reboot Apache and to see if problems could be resolved this way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 277px"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fedora_logo.svg"><img class="zemanta-img-inserted zemanta-img-configured" title="The official symbol of the Linux distribution ..." src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Fedora_logo.svg/267px-Fedora_logo.svg.png" alt="The official symbol of the Linux distribution ..." width="267" height="267" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Wikipedia</p></div>
<p>The developers behind a <a class="zem_slink" title="Linux distribution" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution" rel="wikipedia">Linux distribution</a> known as Fedora have been working on a new type of firewall system known as Dynamic Firewall.  Since Fedora 15, users could install Dynamic Firewall.  It&#8217;s kind of a disappointment for me to see the latest Fedora 16 isn&#8217;t yet shipped with the Dynamic Firewall.  Nonetheless, as how Fedora 15 was, users can still install Dynamic Firewall with Fedora 16.</p>
<p>For your information, Fedora 16 isn&#8217;t enabling any firewall by default.  Yes, Fedora 16 is still shipping with the traditional <a class="zem_slink" title="Iptables" href="http://www.netfilter.org/" rel="homepage">IPTables</a> firewall system.  The question is, why users want to use Fedora&#8217;s Dynamic Firewall over the traditional IPTables type of firewall?  It&#8217;s because Dynamic Firewall is somewhat smarter.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d made a video which shows you how to disable the traditional firewall, enable the Dynamic Firewall, and how to revert back to the traditional firewall from Dynamic Firewall.  The video also points out why and how Dynamic Firewall is smarter than the traditional firewall (i.e., IPTables).  You can check out the video right after the break.</p>
