Video games have come a long way, from the simple electronic games of several years ago; it has now evolved into a more complex form of gaming. I remember the first video game I have played, Super Mario. It was a single or double player game that has to be played by connecting the game console with the television set. Today, video games can be played on personal computers connected to the internet and can involve many players. Video games today can involve users of several computers with links to each other and other electronic devices to provide gaming services to public or private networks. One of these computers serves as the game server or host that provides virtual space and executes programs to be used by the clients or players. Game Service Providers (GSP) lease games to gaming clans or teams and they use internet tools to run, control, and configure games and they also allow clans to modify them.

Linux directory and file names are “case sensitive” and can be up to 255 characters in length. To avoid using one of the many (approximately twenty) “illegal” characters, just use the letters a-z, A-Z and the numbers 0-9 for your Linux directory and file names. To make your Linux commands easier to run, you may want to always use lower case letters for directory and file names. Some programs will not work properly with directories and files that contain spaces. Therefore, it is best to avoid using spaces and use the – (dash) or _ (underscore) character instead, if necessary. A – (dash) is often useful in a directory or file name – to make a directory or file name easier to read. A directory or file name can contain a suffix (a.k.a. file extension) at the end of the directory or file name. This is a . (dot) followed by one or more characters, such as “ .o “, “ .ps ” and “ .png “. It can even include another . (...

At last you are completely ready to publish a website and you are looking for an appropriate hosting provider among billiards of accessible services and tariff schedules. Thus you should notice that the majority of hosting providers use Linux or Unix operating systems on the web servers. Microsoft Windows operating system is offered less often as a choice.

The first thing that you will notice about Linux Red Hat (using the Gnome Interface) is that it looks a lot like Windows 95/98/NT. But that’s where the similarity ends. Linux requires a whole new set of commands as well as a new way of thinking about things. For instance, in Windows 95/98 you can adjust monitor or screen properties by just a few key strokes. With Linux, however, in order to adjust the monitor settings, you have to run a program called Xconfigurator. And there is no information anywhere as to how to do this. It is one of these secret things that Linux users don’t worry about because “everyone knows how to do it”. Those of us changing from Windows to Linux have a need to know these things. Let me tell you the secret: You have to be logged in as “Root” then you exit to the terminal. Now this looks like a DOS shell, so Windows users don’t get too confused. Then at the # prompt type in Xconfigurator. Then you are taken to a configura...

(Or How to set up a fully working Joomla, Drupal, LAMP, LAPP, Zimbra, Torrent server etc., in a couple of minutes) Turnkey Linux comprises a set of free, Ubuntu-based software appliances that are primarily available for server-type usage scenarios, such as setting up database, web, forum, wiki and photo gallery servers. Each appliance is preconfigured to work out of the box, with ease of use being the primary goal behind the Turnkey Linux project. This is extremely useful in itself, but if you wanted to experiment with these appliances, potentially to evaluate or otherwise test them, it would be great if you could perform installations with the absolute minimum of effort. Using Turnkey Linux on Virtual Private Servers A number of hosting providers out there provide Linux VPS services, which usually enable users to have their own virtual server with automatic provisioning of major Linux distributions, such as Debian, Ubuntu or CentOS. Work has been performed in conjunction with the Tu...

The three main choices are Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac and Linux. In this article I briefly summarize the advantages and disadvantages of each. We begin with MS Windows. Microsoft Windows Advantages A comprehensive range of software is available for Windows machines, including, of course MS Office. Modern high performance games work well on MS Windows. This is somewhat ironic given Microsoft’s image of a stuffy business oriented software house. Microsoft Windows is used on lots of systems so there is no trouble getting advice and support and also peripherals (printers mice etc) to work with it. It’s likely that you will have already used or will be expected to use a MS Windows machine in your work, since they’re pervasive in the business sector. So, being familiar with Windows might be useful in terms of your career. Microsoft Windows Disadvantages Windows can be expensive, particularly for the Professional and Ultimate editions. Windows has a poor (but steadily impro...

Open source software, or software with the source code readily available for users to modify as needed, has a controversial history that extends into the present day. With the computer and technological boom of the modern age, patenting and licensing of software has become an extremely profitable business, as software giant Microsoft can attest. However, software’s humble beginnings sprouted from the free model of open source. Richard Stallman, an employee at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), became involved with open source software in 1971, although he claims the open sourcing community had been around for many years before his participation. Several user groups of the early period include the SHARE group for IBM 701 and the DECUS group for Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). Operating systems in existence at the time, such as UNIX, provided academics and corporate researchers a template for their work. Open source software was extremely valuable during that time...
