What is this Linux thing?
More and more people are showing intrest in Linux, so I descided that, being one of the Linux Zealots over here, I should invest some time in this matter...

History and terminology of Linux
1. History and terminology of Linux
1.1. History
By Glider
Linux, unlike Minix, is based upon the principles of the GNU-project. This article won't go into depth what this all means, but the essence of this is that Linux is, and always will remain a free software package.
When Mr Torvalds started his work, he was quite sceptical. He posted a small post on the comp.os.minix newsgroups asking other Minix users what they would like to see in an operating system. With the words: I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. Linux was introduced to the world. A month later, September 1991, Mr Torvalds released 'Linux version 0.01'. Soon this was picked up by other gifted people, who analysed the code, tested and tweaked it, and returned feedback to Mr Torvalds. At the beginning of October version 0.02 hit the street. 2 weeks later 0.03 was issued. The ball was rolling, Linux was born, but still very immature. At that time it only had a functional bash, update and gcc compiler. The very bare essence of a system.
As time moved on, the Linux crowd grew and the interest of commercial software companies, like Red Hat, Caldera, etc. whom compiled software upon the Linux kernel. Distributions were born. And although these were commercial products, there was a parallel development of a free distribution by volunteers... Debian was born.
But Linux wasn't just there for the nerds. In April 1996 Linux proved his strength by powering 68 individual PC into 1 cluster. Compared to the 'super computers' of those days it was very cheap solution, yet it preformed very decent, scoring 315th in the world ranking at that time, while at the same time giving a great stability.
Linux has evolved throughout time, just like the distributions based upon the Linux kernel have, and it keeps on doing so because of the dedicated volunteer work performed by the many Linux coders. They do a great job and I hope they will continue to do this, so that Linux will even grow stronger in the future.
1.2. Terminology
The terminology of a Linux system is somewhat different than that of a Windows one. What most people call Windows (operating system), doesn't correspond to what is called Linux (kernel). Don't get me wrong, Windows also posses a kernel. The kernel (Linux) is the bare essence, the base building bloc of the operating system. A kernel handles, among things, the interface between software and hardware, handles the management of system resources (like memory, processing power,...), Input/Output,... The kernel is the core of the system.
On top of this several other blocks are nested. Although the kernel is quite a constant in a system, the next layer differs more. This is the layer of the distribution. A distribution is a packet of software written to hand commands to the kernel for processing. Popular examples of distributions are Debian, Ubuntu, SuSe, Damn Small Linux, Red Hat, Fedora, Gentoo,... The list goes on for ever. And while distributions form the second layer from the base up (so are still very close to the core), they also differ (sometimes quite a lot) from distribution to distribution. The differences show in syntaxes of the commandos, or just plain different commandos, different ways of handling instructions, different levels of security,...
The kernel and the distribution combined form what people know as the operating system. If you have compiled a kernel and a distribution on top of it, you have a working system (you need to add various small parts like a boot loader). But don't expect much of it, you have at this moment a system that boots to a 'DOS like' environment, called the Command Line Interface (CLI). While a CLI environment is a fully functioning system, it isn't very suited for everyday desktop use.
To get all the bells and whistles going, you need a Window Manager (WM). The window manager itself is a piece of software that takes care of all the eye candy like backgrounds, tool bars, mouse pointers,... But a window manager itself can't work. A window manager has to run on top of a X server. A X server handles the position, size, layer,... of all the various windows you open. A windows manager provides a nice looking skin for those windows.
So the 'order' inside a/any system is:
kernel <--> distribution <--> X server <--> Window Manager
So now that you have a basic knowledge of how a (Linux) system works, its time to get your Linux system going. Otherwise you wouldn't be reading this... Prepare to make some decisions, because that's what Linux all is about, the freedom to decide.

Live CD or Installer?
2. Live CD or Install?
By Glider
But how does a Live CD work then? Well, we all know the concept of RAM disks. That is at the base of the functioning of a Live CD. To get a Live CD working you just need to boot of of the cd. This loads the kernel into the RAM memory and sets up a RAM disk. The needed files are then copied over to the RAM disk and the system boots from it. But you might wonder by now if you need a lot of RAM memory to hold al those files since a average Windows installation easily takes up a gigabyte of memory. Well, this is yet an other advantage of a Linux system. With a mere 256 megabytes of RAM memory you can get about any live distribution up and running. Most Live CD that you download boot right into a fully functional desktop, including fancy window manager. Most things are configured right out of the box, certainly with the newer Live CD's. If you are feeling adventurous, you can also create your own Live CD.
But don't think a Live CD is as good as a 'hard drive installed' system. Because everything is first copied from the CD (which is slow) to the RAM disk and then loaded from there, it creates a great latency. Therefore, Live CD's are good to let you get the feeling, but if you decide that you want to go the Linux way, you still have to go to the process of installing it to your hard drive. But don't be scared about that. Installing a Linux system isn't the daunting task it used to be, unless you choose to do it the old fashioned way. Most distributions come with a installer, some even pack a graphical one. This reduces the need to configure and compile everything to just having to set a couple of parameters. While a installer certainly is a valid and useful way of setting up your Linux system, there are certain choices and assumptions made by the developers, which you might find wrong for your system. But don't worry, for a lot of persons those choices made by the developers are the right ones. So, basically, unless you are like me, a installer is the best way to get your permanent Linux system up and running.
But enough time wasted... Let's move on to the grandmother of all questions about a Linux system...

What distribution to choose?
3. What distribution to choose?
By Glider
3.1. Desktop or Server
This brings us to a core question in the creation of a linux system. What will be the use? While this guide primarily focusses on desktop systems, Linux is of course well known for its server capabilities. But what makes Linux so superiour for servers? Well, it starts at the very core of the system, the kernel. A linux kernel, because it is optimised for a system, is much smaller then the core of a Windows Server system, which is made to be general. Small means lightweight, which means fast. But small also means less room for flaws in the code. But it doesn't stop there. The next advantage is the essence of the Linux system. Linux is a multi user operating sysem. This implies security from the base up. Don't get me wrong, Windows Server distributions are too, but they were based upon single user operating systems, which still shows. But the greatest advantage of a Linux system lies in it's command line interface. Because of this you don't need to compile a visual environment on your system, which saves a lot of system resources. You can't run Windows without the point and click interface. Well, all that eye candy needs system resources to work, resources that could be better used on the core tasks of the system. Also due to the point and click interface Windows feels quite sluggish in a server environment. While you have to click dozens of times to get to a wanted screen for configuration in Windows, in Linux you just have to type vim <path to config file> and you have all the tweaking options at your disposal.
But this was the what distribution to choose chapter, so I have to give you a couple of options... Just for servers. If you are looking for desktops, read on... Well, actually all Linux distributions can and will handle server task without a flaw. Only some are better at the task then others. The one distribution that is allways related to servers is Debian. Debian is one of the most mature distributions out there, and that shows. It uses a great package manager, (to install extra 'software'), called apt, centralised configuration files,... and it is rock stable.
Another viable option is Gentoo. Altough not as easy to get up and running and maintain as Debian, due to it's small and powerfull behaviour. And altough it also has a decent package manager, called portage, it's immatureness shows a bit. But if you want it extremely light, fast and optimised, Gentoo certainly is an option.
And, it wouldn't be fair if I left it out, if you want security, BSD is your fiend. While BSD isn't Linux based, they have the same grandfather, UNIX. BSD is the vault of distributions. If you have a server that stands in the line of fire, like in a DeMilitarized Zone, you should consider one of the many (including free) variants of BSD.

What distribution to choose?
3.2. Distributions
By Glider
So, here we are now, trying to help you find your answer to "The Question". While we can't tell you how you'll experience a distribution, we can try to get our feelings and toughts across, note some generally agreed properties and specialities of a couple of different distributions. We'll also give a short summary of pros and cons, and a rating. 0/10 being Live CD like, and 10 /10 being you have to get your hands dirty when installing (but not impossible, even for those who are new). A typical XP installation for reference would 5 / 10.
While this list is far from complete, I hope it offers some aid to those on a quest for a Linux distribution. More distributions can be found at Distrowatch, in case you can't find your preferred one here. If you have found a distribution that you like, but want to know where it came from (or seek for some close "relatives"), this timeline will surely help you with that.
3.2.1. Ubuntu
Ubuntu, Linux for human beings, the rising star in the Linux kingdom. And with a reason. Ubuntu is a great distribution to make the transit from Windows to Linux. Based upon the good old Debian, yet implemented in a subtile different manner, with a lot less to worry about. In contrary to its parent Debian, you just have to pop in the install cd, answer some easy questions and you got yourself a fully functional Ubuntu installation, based upon the Gnome window manager. It will even set up a dual boot if you want it. Things hardly get any easier. But for the seasoned Linux Zealots this often also is a downfall. For the easyness you have to give a bit of power for the user. But don't worry, you still have plenty of choise with Ubuntu. If you don't know where to start, Ubuntu is probably worth trying.
But like any other distribution, there are also projects running that are related to Ubuntu.
Kubuntu, is basically the same as the regular variant, exept it packs the KDE window manager instead of the Gnome one.
Edubuntu, Linux for young human beings, brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the schools. It's aimed at the educational environment, for in classroom use.
xubuntu, is like kubuntu a ubuntu implementation with a different window manager, namely Xfce. This lightweight window manager makes the system more powerfull and punchy.
Pros: Easy, prebuilt, installs to a full working system, automatic dual boot setup, great community support
Cons: Due to the premade descisions needed to install a full working system, some of the power is lost
Difficulty: 3 / 10 (Yes, easier then Windows, but don't believe me, see it for yourself)
3.2.2. Debian
Debian is one of the oldest distributions, and that shows. While it did get a deserved notice in the server part of this guide, it can't be lacking in the desktop part. Debian sports an installer which eases the installation. But a basic Debian install doesn't include a X server. But don't fear, xorg-x11 is included in the apt tree. Debian comes in 3 flavours, Stable, Unstable and Testing.
Stable, is like it name suggest rock stable. Every package you get through apt works flawless, and is indeed stable. The disadvantage is tough, that a stable guarantee also means you have to use older versions of packages.
Testing, unlike this name suggests, is actually quite stable, but not guaranteed stable. New packages are added into the apt tree (which have gone through the testing phase). This means you don't get bleeding edge, but quite stable, packages right in your system. This is the release I recommend for 99% of the users, even for servers, certainly for LAN servers.
Unstable, the place to be for bleeding edge packages. Every new release gets into the apt tree. This is the release that you want if you like living on the edge. You get no guarantee that you get stable packages (but no one will release a package which is known to be buggy) but you run the newest of the newest.
Pros: installer, great package manager, automatic boot loader configuration, no unneeded packages, well documented, mature, stable
Cons: doesn't install a full working desktop system from scratch
Difficulty: 6,5 / 10
3.2.3. Red Hat / Fedora
Red Hat was also one of the pioneers in the Linux market. On a personal note, it was the first distribution I tried. Even his early versions were known for it's user friendlyness. Altough it still is in development, it's being more and more pointed at the niche market, like embedded systems. But it still is a great distribution. It's one of the few that sticks closely to the predefined standards agreed in the Linux community. Not that the others don't, but just not as close.But from the Redhat project followed..
Fedora. Fedora is based upon Redhat. But because Redhat went into the niche market, Fedora was born for the mainstream. Fedora is a form inbetween Ubuntu and the core distributions. Fedora also packs a full working system from the box, but the users have more freedom then in Ubuntu (don't get me wrong, everything about every distribution is customisable).
Pros: Installer, good package manager, automatic boot loader configuration, mature
Cons: Hmm, actually hard to find some...
Difficulty: 5 / 10
3.2.4. Gentoo
Gentoo, the distribution that is all about choice. Probably one of the harder distributions to get into, but also a very rewarding one. Every package you install through portage, the Gentoo package manager, is being compiled locally from the source. This means that you can pass so called USE flags directly to the compiler, to optimise it for your system so that even on old hardware a Gentoo system 'flies'.
Gentoo is a relatively young distribution, but don't think it lacks stability because of that. It's considered one of the more powerfull distributions because of the on-site compilation and nearly unlimited freedom.
The installation of a Gentoo system is a daunting task the first time you undertake it. No installer is supplied [one is in the works, but real men live without it], so roll up your sleeves and prepare for some hardcore CLI action. Prepare to bootstrap your installation on top of an other system, and even from step 1 of the installation you have to make decisions and edit configuration files. And when you think you have seen it all, you get the choice if you want to configure and compile the kernel, the bare essence of your system, so that you get what you want, nothing more, nothing less.
Pros: fast, optimised, good package manager, lightweight, well documented
Cons: doesn't install a full working desktop system from scratch, no installer, everything need to be configured
Difficulty: 10 / 10
3.3. Specialised Linux distributions
What if you just want an easy and cheap way to solve your fileserver problem? Or want a good gateway which handles all your networking needs? But you don't want to dish out lots for specialised hardware, nor are you willing or skilled enough to build, configure and maintain a (Linux) server from scratch? Don't fear, the Linux crowd holds the answers. They created many specialised packages that come as an easy installer which handles all your needs, mostly through an easy to configure (web) interface... Here's a short grasp out of the immense offering...
3.3.1. FreeNas
FreeNAS, the free network attached storage distribution. If you are looking for an easy to manage, no nonsense deal to run on your fileserver, look no further. You can install FreeNAS upon a 32MB flash drive, so it isn't a resource hog. It offers services going from software RAID, NFS, FTP server daemon,... And all that power is being managed through an easy to use webinterface
3.3.2. IP Cop
IP Cop, "The bad packets stop here!". If you are looking for some gateway software, that handles NAT translation, Firewall, Quality of Service, various proxyserver options, DHCP server functions, dynamic DNS redirection update, a SSH server, ... look no further. IP Cop is a free way to get all that. IP Cop comes with a easy installer, support for various hardware, including USB modems, out of the box, a webinterface for easy management,...
3.3.3. ClarkConnect
Clark Connect, An other entry in the Gateway market. Altough this is a bit more. It also serves as a Firewall, Intrusion detection (snort), Bandwith Manager (Quality of Service), Web- and FTP server, fileserver, printserver... An all in one package. Some people like this, while other are more in favour of separating security and serving duties.
There are 2 versions of the package, a non-free Enterprise version, and a free Community edition.
3.3.4. eBox
eBox, yet another mutifunctional specialised distribution. Based on Debian, this distro packs all the features a gateway would ever need, like DHCP server, DNS, proxyserver, firewall... But it takes it a step furhter. Like ClarckConnect, it offers a printserver, mailserver, jabber server,... And more to add in yourself using Debian Packages.

4. Bash
By Glider
But what does BASH do? Well, BASH is the thing you look at when you power up the command line interface. It's a shell, the outer layer of a PC system, the thing you put your input into for execution on the system. The shell translates the commands you input into data for the operating system, which on his part, passes it to the kernel. While BASH isn't the only shell you can use on a Linux system, it is the most common one. An other known shell, from the other side, is command.com, a shell for MS DOS.
The command line interface, the shell, is often given credit for the immense power of a Linux system. Part of nearly all Linux systems, BASH will give you total control of what is going on. But what makes BASH so loved? Well, BASH is a spin-off from a famous shell, that helps, but BASH is more. BASH takes ideas from the Korn shell (ksh) and the C shell (csh), and goes there where the Bourne shell lacked. BASH can handle mathematics (yes, in a way it's a calculator), logic, I/O Redirection, backslash escapes, startup scripts, bash completion... BASH resembles a C programming environment, with the added system I/O. And that is what makes BASH so powerfull.
While learning BASH is something you can only do by actually using it, I'll try to give you a list with basic system commands which you might find usefull if you want to get your Linux system up and running. BASH uses a syntax similar to the old command.com (DOS). For more syntax information on a specific command, just type <command> --help or man <command>. The former will give you a short list with options and syntax, the latter will open the manual for the command, giving pretty much all information you could require. I'll just give basic commands in the following list, but be sure to check out the optional switch options, you'll be amazed what a simple ls can do.
[note 2] Due to bash completion, you don't have to type every command and path out full. If you press <tab> BASH will suggest (or give if there's only 1 choise) the rest of the path/commandname.
One thing that many confuses is the disk structure that Linux uses. And actually it is quite easy. All devices are listed under /dev/. So that's the place you should go looking for devices. PATA (IDE) devices are named hda, hdb, hdc, hdd... with hda being the primary master drive (not partition), hdb the primary slave,... and so on. If a drive is partitioned, the partitions will be denoted with numbers, like hda1, hda2, hda3... Simple as that. For the people who use SATA (or SCSI) drives, they are noted as sda, sdb, sdc,... Some USB devices are also noted as SCSI drives, therefor they share the sdX notation.
While this list is far from complete, it should help you get some basic things done on your system through BASH. This might be come in handy if your distribution of choise doesn't automatically install a graphical interface. But like I already said, experiment with BASH, it will add value to your Linux experience and to your efficiency.
A good command reference is the UNIX Toolbox.

Where to go after installation/compilation?
5. Where to go after installation/compilation?
By Glider
So, this guide helped you select a distribution and the link to the distribution's website should have helped you install your base system. Some distributions (like Ubuntu) include a lot of packages by default, so the end user has less work after the installation, but there are also a lot that don't do that, hence this short summary of usefull packages. You can click the logo's for a screenshot.
5.1. Xserver and Windows managers
5.1.1. Xorg-X11
The base of 95% of the desktop environments, and a great package. No need to go a different route as base. But don't expect eye candy from the bare server.
5.1.2. Gnome
One of the 2 behemoths of the window manager market. Gnome is included in many distributions, like Ubuntu, by default. Very user friendly and has a Windows feel.
The brother of gnome is undoubtedly kde. A very good graphical interface, good integration of applications,... And it is the thing that puts the K in Kubuntu.
5.1.4. Fluxbox
You like it fast, minimalistic, core and powerfull. Then Fluxbox is one of your options as a window manager. Fully customisable through some easy to understand config files.
5.2. Entertainment
5.2.1. Games
There is a huge list of free Linux games located here and an article by DaDego and myself on the Bit-tech site
220.127.116.11. lBreakout2
The Linux version of the classical Arkanoid game. A sort of single player pong where you have to break the blocks. Warning, very addictive.
184.108.40.206. Pysol
Are you one of the Freecell or Spider Solitaire addicts? Don't fear, Pysol, packing more then 200 card games, is here.
18.104.22.168. xfrisk
Xfrisk Screenshot
The digital, and free, implementation of the popular Risk boardgame.
5.2.2. Multimedia
18.104.22.168. Audio
The Linux winamp lookalike. XMMS was designed to look and work like Winamp, and the devolopers did a very good job.
220.127.116.11.2 amarok
A media player that resembles a good implementation of Windows Media Player. Great features, good interface. Only one small downside, requires some kde packages to work. But they are worth installing.
188.8.131.52. Video / DVD
188.8.131.52.1 mplayer
The great allround movie player. It plays about any type of video file. It has to be a pretty exotic filetype if mplayer can't play it.
184.108.40.206.2 xine
Xine is about the greatest DVD player around. Lots of options, support for all the fancy DVD stuff.
184.108.40.206.3 Myth tv
The 'myth'... A swiss army knife when it comes to playback of media. Going from DVDs to MP3, from TV shows to movies... Some even say it beats Windows Media Center, and who am I to disagree...

Where to go after installation/compilation?
5.3. Graphical
By Glider5.3.1. The Gimp
The free Photoshop. Some say The Gimp is as good as Photoshop, some say it isn't... All I can say about it it will handle 99% of your image manipulating needs.
5.4. Office Applications
5.4.1. OpenOffice.org
OpenOffice, the well known office package. Basically the same as its Windows counterpart, only cheaper. No introduction needed.
5.5. CD burning
5.5.1. Nero Linux
Well, you switched to Linux, and don't want to waste your Nero licence? Well, then try Nero Linux. It isn't free, but it rocks!
5.5.2. k3B
A free CD and DVD burning utility, based upon the KDE window manager, but of course usable on other window managers. If you don't own a Nero license, try this one!
5.6. Networking
5.6.1. Browsers
220.127.116.11. Links / Lynx
Links screenshot / Lynx screenshot
Want the ultimate geekness in browsing the web? Text based browsers are your way to go. No serious, they will save your life at times while working in the CLI.
220.127.116.11. Firefox
Does this need an introduction?
22.214.171.124. Opera
Well, what can I say... It's Opera... You either hate it, or love it (probably in that order )
5.6.2. Email clients
18.104.22.168. Mutt
Mutt screenshot
As a followup of the ultimate geekness, meet the text based email client. Great for checking your mails from a remote workstation. Just SSH in to the server, and fire up mutt.
188.8.131.52. Thunderbird
The well know email client is also available on Linux...
5.6.3. IM Clients
220.127.116.11. irssi
Again one for the major geeks, a textbased IRC client. But this is the way of having a huge uptime in an IRC channel.
The all round IM client. Connects to almost every network, uses almost every protocol. The way to combine all your different IM accounts into 1 program.
220.127.116.11b. Pidgin
GAIM is dead, long live Pidgin. It does what GAIM did, and more...
126.96.36.199. aMSN
A MSN Messenger clone for Linux. Altough it only connects to MSN servers, it has more features (like webcam) than Gaim
5.6.4. LAN Tools
184.108.40.206. Ssh / Scp
SSH screenshot / SCP screenshot
Yet another CLI tool. SSH is a tool to securely connect to a server, and SCP is a tool for copying files between 2 pcs using the SSH protocol.
126.96.36.199. Samba
Samba lets you mount (attach) a Windows/Samba share into a directory in your Linux system. This way you can acces them from your system.
18.104.22.168. nmap / netcat
Nmap and netcat are the 'swiss army knife' tools of a network. If a remote pc has an open port, you will be able to find it with, and connect to it, through these tools.
126.96.36.199 Azureus
Well, the well known blue frog of P2P... Quite resource taking according to some, but nothing a every day PC can't handle, altough the Linux counterpart is a bit better the the Windows one.
126.96.36.199. Torrentflux
A free webbased PHP torrent client. Very handy on headless systems that are administrated through a webinterface.
22.214.171.124. Wireshark
Ever wondered where all your precious bandwith goes to? Well, wireshark, formerly known as ethereal, will sniff any network connection and anaylise the sent/recieved packets.
5.7. Emulation
There are plenty console emulaters for Linux, have a look here for more information on those. There are however also Windows API implementations, which I'll discuss more in detail. Also read the article on the Bit-Tech site by DaDego and myself.
5.7.1. Wine
You got that mega cool Windows only application, but you want to use Linux? Well, give wine a shot, it will emulate a Windows environment and try to run your application. It is a bit of hit and miss tough.Look for the error in the screenshot
For more info on WINE, go here
5.7.2. Cedega
A great (altough not free) tool from Transgaming. Cedega is known for its succes in running XP games under Linux. Lots (not all) are supported. Definatly worth a try if you're a gamer. The Transgaming games database has quite a list of supported games.

I write it in a month, and you read it in 5 minutes, not fair...
But thanks DougEdey, I felt it was the job of one of the Linux Zealots over here, and me having way too much time at hand...

Interesting, nice to see you're pushing Gentoo as well.
Although, nearly all of your guide is not about Linux, perhaps you should change the name to GNU/Linux.
Although, even then it doesn't describe everything you've said.

All input is welcome...
PM the things you would like to have added, also include a short txt (1-2 lines), a logo (60 px high max plz) and a screenshot. But don't overdo it, vBulletin doesn't like posts longer than 10000 chars And I'll work them in...
EDIT: @Ramble: One can't resist to promote it's baby
I know the guide (exept for the first part) isn't about Linux solely. But I do think the title describes the thing new people think Linux is, but that's my interpretation... It's like people saying they work on Windows while they actually use freecel
EDIT 2: Updated with some info...
EDIT 3: Fixed a typo... thanks Who_me_33

this is a bit of topic (and I mean no harm :P ) but you're facts are a bit false.
Originally, Torvalds called his kernel "Freax" for "free" and "freak" and with the often-used X in the names of Unix-like systems. The name "Linux" was coined by Ari Lemmke, who administered an FTP server belonging to the Finnish University Network; he invented the name Linux for the directory from which Torvalds' project was first available for download.

Very Nice guide
As an additional resource I would suggest a link to distrowatch
-Ok, I know there is almost no end to what others may think you missed but for me you missed the current #4 distribution on the distrowatch list - Mepis (which ranks above all but 3 of the other distros you mentioned) but otherwise - )
Regardless of what you believe there is someone at least as smart, or smarter, than you who believes something you think is stupid (and it's not just because you know something they don't).

@simon_w: I'll update the guide later on... Thanks for pointing that out. (altough now I reread, I must say that I read about the directory on the FTP elsewhere too... doing too much things at the same time leads to things like this I guess )
@Tyinsar: I'll add it if you want to. But that's something for this evening. I have to study at the moment, have to redo a couple of exams, and I absolutely have to pass them... If you want, you can also write the short text, and PM it to me, I'll add it then (also try supply a logo then please, I'll mirror it on my "site" so it doesn't eat up your bandwith). And I'll add distrowatch to the list too this evening.
If there are other things (packages, distro's,...) anyone would like to have added, just PM and we'll work something out
EDIT: Updated, and made a logo for Mepis, but Tyinsar, can you write a short text like the others describing Mephis Linux? Then I'll add it (PM it to me)

Glider: Thanks for the willingness to incorporate new stuff. I started by looking at what What Distrowatch says but they need to update it for version 6.0 changes (not all were good). Next I looked at several other reviews for comparisons but that isn't always easy.. Then I found an interesting survey and a great oppinion piece. This lead me to this conclusion: f'get aboud it (but thanks again).
Anyway, Here's an interesting Linux timeline for those who might be interested.

This coming week, I will take on one of the most important tasks I have as your U.S. Senator: speaking up for those who don't have a voice on an issue that is destroying families and communities across our state -- prescription drug abuse.
Our great state and this nation are seeing an epidemic of prescription drug abuse that I hear about in every city, town and home that I visit.
I've worked hard to give law enforcement and the medical community more tools to put a stop to this needless epidemic, and there will be an important meeting on Oct. 29 and 30 to talk about making it more difficult for people to abuse hydrocodone. Right now, hydrocodone is classified as a Schedule III substance under the Controlled Substances Act, but law enforcement experts, doctors and I believe that this drug is so easy to abuse that it should be elevated to a Schedule II substance, which faces stricter controls.
At the meeting, we'll discuss whether or not hydrocodone should face these tighter controls. You can watch the meeting live online, but I want to share with each and every West Virginian some of the remarks that I plan to deliver in case you can't follow the proceedings.
Earlier this month, I asked the people of our state to share some of their stories -- so that I can share them at the hearing -- and here are some of the stories that touched me the most.
Let's start with law enforcement, those on the front lines. West Virginia law enforcement officers tell me that for underage children, these drugs are easier to get than alcohol and tobacco. This is what a Berkeley Springs deputy sheriff shared with me:
As a high school student here in the 90's, the biggest thing facing teens was marijuana and alcohol abuse. Now it seems our youth is skipping this, and going straight to the painkillers; as if the former wasn't bad enough.
The biggest problem I see with the abuse of prescription drugs -- especially hydrocodone -- is how it is prescribed. It seems any 18 to 25 year old can go to any doctor, claim they have chronic pain, and get a recurring prescription for 120+ of these pills PER MONTH! The high price people are willing to pay for these drugs on the street inevitably gives our young, drug dealing citizens more incentive to continue in their illegal behavior than to earn an honest living.
West Virginia doctors echo their law enforcement counterparts. Here's what I heard from one physician in Mt. Clare:
As a physician who struggled with addiction to hydrocodone and who dealt with the complicated issues of treating patients who suffer painful conditions and sought relief, I am familiar with hydrocodone use and abuse. Hydrocodone emerged as a highly effective agent that we later understood to be highly addictive but as a Schedule III it was easy to administer and access. In my own practice, it was far too easy to "call it in" to a pharmacy and to refill without seeing a patient and issuing a written prescription.
There are plenty of examples supporting this doctor. All the people on the front lines of fighting prescription drug abuse -- police, prosecutors, doctors and nurses, not to mention independent groups and numerous studies -- tell us pretty much the same story: hydrocodone combination drugs have just as high potential for abuse as other Schedule II drugs such as oxycodone and oxymorphone.
Of course, my bipartisan legislation had opponents, mostly from interest groups representing those who stand to make lots of money selling as many pills as possible.
But I refuse to back down because this change is critical. Consider what one mother in Charleston said:
Please continue to fight the drug companies and pharmacies regarding this issue.?Our family in the last 2 months lost a beloved family member to prescription drug overdose. He was a promising young man that lost his life because of addiction to pain medication. Our family continues to be devastated, wondering how did this happen. He came from a highly educated family that was involved in his treatment and cared deeply for him. His family spent $100,000+ in his recovery but it was all too easy for him to obtain legal prescriptions. We are not blaming anyone but the system. We know we are each responsible for our own actions. Please understand I am very much opposed to MORE government in our personal lives however this medical arena is much needed. Please continue to fight this enormous battle for us.
I am determined not to give up, and I will continue to tell the story of prescription drug abuse until this epidemic ends.
The meeting will be webcast at the following address:

For a life changing experience, Enquire Now!
This is a free phone message service in the UK (Monday to Friday) - if you leave your details we will contact you directly within 48 hours.
Your time spent with Norman Carr Safaris will usually be tailor made for you and your party. All of our camps are individually designed to complement each other. To make the most of the extremely diverse habitats, species and experience we suggest a combination of the camps. We believe that we have found a balance between rustic elegance and the more luxurious side of the bush without losing touch with the true wilderness.
The rooms are generally spacious, each containing two three-quarter or one king-sized bed. Chinzombo, Mchenja and Kakuli have Family Villas/Tents with up to 3 additional beds for children. There is wardrobe and shelving storage in the rooms at all camps, and an indoor and/or outdoor comfortable seating area and table. Rooms in all camps have en-suite bathroom facilities (in the bush camps these are private open-air bathrooms), with plenty of hot water, towels and toiletries. After dark, a member of staff will accompany you to and from your room, lighting the way and watching out for local wildlife.
The electric supply at Chinzombo is fairly reliable, and 3-pin UK sockets are provided, along with eco friendly cooling system in the bedroom, fans, a minibar fridge, hairdryer, kettle and coffee-making facilities. At the bush camps, the electricity supply is solar powered and runs the lights and heats hot water in each of the rooms; there are no charging points in the rooms themselves. The main area has a charging point for small items only such as mobile phones, camera batteries and small laptops.
Our laundry service is free and available at all camps. Items are usually returned washed and pressed on the same or next day. Please let the camp staff know if your clothes have any special laundering instructions and be aware that washing is all by hand.
Drinks are included in the rates at all of our camps including standard spirits, beer, house wine, soft drinks, tea and coffee. All rooms at Chinzombo have mini-bars. Premium wine, champagne and top shelf spirits are charged as extra.
There is a pool at Mchenja and in every Chinzombo Villa there is a private pool built into the deck area.
Each camp has a selection of reference books to which you may refer to investigate the day's sightings or to find out more about the history and geography of the area.
There is a small gift shop at Chinzombo that stocks a selection of locally produced crafts and textiles. The Mulberry Mongoose workshop is based next to our Kapani Homestead and Office and guests can call in here to purchase jewellery and learn about the company's commitment to anti-poaching and local employment. Tribal Textiles is located 10 mins from Mfuwe Airport
There is some cell phone coverage at Chinzombo but not at the remote bush camps.
There is no internet available at any of the bush camps, however there will be in-room internet available at Chinzombo with limited 'bush bandwidth' so be patient.
The company carries public liability insurance, however it is essential that guests take out their own personal travel insurance before they travel.

Mid-week USSF Division 2 provided a rather surprising result in the Midwest, shaking up this week's version of the power rankings.
Struggling A.C. St. Louis beat Portland Wednesday evening rather emphatically, winning 3-0 behind a Mike Ambersley hat trick. Other mid-week action saw Rochester defeat Carolina 1-0 on Tuesday, while the Vancouver Whitecaps squeaked past Montreal by a 1-0 score.
Austin keeps hold of the top spot, two points ahead of Vancouver and the Rochester Rhinos, but with three games in hand. St. Louis had one of its best weeks of the season — winning two games in a row to jump up a couple of spots.
Here's a look at this week's power rankings:
1. Austin Aztex (10-2-5)
Last Match– Won 2-0 vs. A.C. St. Louis on July 17.
Next Match– vs. Miami FC on Saturday, July 31.
Outlook: Austin had a week off and still owns a commanding lead at the top of the table. Two more games at home give the Aztex a chance to open up the distance between them and Rochester.
2. Rochester Rhinos (9-5-6)
Last Match– Won 1-0 at Carolina Railhawks on July 27.
Next Match– vs. Portland on Wednesday, August 4.
Outlook: A win at Carolina ended a hectic stretch of three games in six days — and to come away with six points from that is impressive. Rochester only scored twice, but proved their defensive capabilities by keeping a clean sheet and winning twice.
3. Vancouver Whitecaps (8-3-9)
Last Match– Won 1-0 vs. Montreal Impact on July 28.
Next Match– at Carolina on Saturday, July 31.
Outlook: A win over Canadian rival Montreal Wednesday evening was by a typical score of 1-0, but kept Vancouver ahead of Carolina in the conference standings. Having short rest will be a challenge, one that Vancouver is equipped to overcome.
4. Portland Timbers (7-6-5)
Last Match– Lost 3-0 at A.C. St. Louis on July 28.
Next Match– at FC Tampa Bay on Saturday, July 31.
Outlook: Road trips can be difficult for USSF D2 sides, and this one took a turn south against St. Louis. Another expansion side, Tampa Bay, is a chance to end the road swing on a high note.
5. Carolina Railhawks (6-4-6)
Last Match– Lost 1-0 vs. Rochester Rhinos on July 27.
Next Match– vs. Vancouver Saturday, July 31.
Outlook: Carolina could only find the back of their own net against Rochester. The top two defenses go at each other when the Whitecaps visit. A win would pull the Railhawks closer to the top of the NASL Conference — they've played four less games than the Whitecaps.
6. Montreal Impact (6-8-5)
Last Match– Lost 1-0 vs. Vancouver on July 28.
Next Match– at Crystal Palace on Saturday, July 31.
Outlook: A Wednesday night home defeat must have been tough to take, particularly against Vancouver. Baltimore offers a chance to bounce back on short rest and steady the Impact's standing.
7. NSC Minnesota Stars (7-9-5)
Last Match– Tied 1-1 at Vancouver on July 25.
Next Match– at A.C. St. Louis on Sunday, August 1.
Outlook: Minnesota needs to win this one against A.C. St. Louis to preserve their spot in the playoffs. They've played 21 games — most in the league — and can't afford any let hiccups.
8. FC Tampa Bay Rowdies (6-7-5)
Last Match– Won 2-0 vs. Miami FC on July 25.
Next Match– vs. Rochester on Thursday, July 22.
Outlook: A win against Coastal Cup rivals was just what Tampa Bay needed. Can newcomer Jonny Steele transition quickly and cure Tampa's offensive woes?
9. Puerto Rico Islanders (6-7-5)
Last Match– vs. Rochester Rhinos on July 24.
Next Match– vs. Miami FC on Saturday, August 7.
Outlook: Puerto Rico will look to its emphatic win against Los Angeles to boost what has been a season of struggle in league play. However, the Islanders remain within striking distance of a playoff spot and can't be counted out.
10. A.C. St. Louis (5-10-4)
Last Match– Won 3-0 vs. Portland Timbers on July 28.
Next Match– vs. NSC Minnesota on Sunday, August 1.
Outlook: A great week for A.C. St. Louis saw the club win two games in the span of five days. If Mike Ambersley could replicate the scoring form that he shows against Portland when playing all other teams, St. Louis would be in better shape.
11. Crystal Palace Baltimore (5-9-4)
Last Match– Lost 1-0 vs. A.C. St. Louis on July 24.
Next Match– vs. Montreal on Saturday, July 31.
Outlook: Losing to St. Louis at home was a huge blow, and Montreal coming to town is an important one. Baltimore lies in striking distance of the playoffs, but needs to come up with some wins during this home stand.
12. Miami FC (2-7-9)
Last Match– Lost 2-0 at FC Tampa Bay Rowdies on Sunday, July 25.
Next Match– at Austin on Saturday, July 31.
Outlook: A bad season continues to get worse as Miami just can't seem to find a win. A trip to league-leading Austin won't help turn things around.
I haven't done the analysis for the other teams, but even as an Austin fan, I think us being ranked #1 based on our top-in-the-league standing might be out of place.
If you look at our pod (the teams we play 4 times) plus the other team we play 4 times, you'll notice that those four teams were the last place teams in each conference (before St. Louis won last night).
9 of our 17 games so far have been against those teams. 7 of our remaining 13 will be against them. Unless those teams find something new, we are very likely to finish right where we are… and crash out in the playoffs early, having drawn someone other than those four.
Doing a similar analysis of the other teams' pod+1 might suggest a slightly different Power Ranking.
Come on Baltimore, let's make the playoffs.
Agreed, but does USSF-2 warrant that much of Ivan's time?! Maybe one for the comments panel of experts.
Matt C in Tampa
Rowdies playing with a very young team right now. Avg age of field players vs. Miami was 23. Missing 5 starters with injuries. I think those factors have clearly played into the recent draws and losses and lack of goals, but it's nice to have youngsters who a good enough to hold down the fort. Things should improve with the return of the starters.
Who's Ivan?
Ivan, or Ives for that matter, doesn't do these. Check the byline.
Sort of the "quandry" of crime going down and prison populations increasing, the corollary is that those teams lose more because they have to play the Aztex more often.
Love the coverage, BUT we could we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE switch the Rhinos logo to what is currently used and is behind the clubs history? Thanks!
Going to have to think about that one. I still think there's something to it. The teams that are in last play the Aztex more… but only four times a season.
A complete analogy to the situation would be where the bottom teams in the league were playing four games a piece against the top teams in the league. But that's not the case. Miami, Tampa Bay and Puerto Rico are in our pod. They play four games each against the Aztex and each other. So eight of their other games are against a couple of the worst teams in the league. Now, maybe their 'outside the pod' 4-times opponents are also top teams. I haven't looked at that yet. If so, then you have something there. I guess I'm getting talked into looking into it more deeply.
But, looking more closely, I guess that could clarify why Tampa and Puerto Rico are 8 points ahead of Miami.
Man, Miami is crap this season.
We'd better not lose to them tomorrow night.

BMW chief executive Harald Krueger fainted Tuesday during a press briefing at the IAA auto show in Frankfurt, forcing the German carmaker to halt the presentation, an AFP photographer reported.
The 49-year-old Krueger, who has headed BMW since May, was speaking to reporters at the company's exhibit at the show when he apparently felt dizzy and collapsed. He was helped away by two bodyguards.
In a brief statement BMW said the CEO had a dizzy spell and that he had not been feeling well in the morning after returning from a trip abroad.
A company spokesman at the auto show a short while later said Krueger was feeling better but that he had cancelled all his meetings scheduled for Tuesday and returned to his home.

Mixture of sugar and povidone--iodine stimulates wound healing by activating keratinocytes and fibroblast functions

The topical application of a mixture of sugar and povidone--iodine (PI) has been reported to accelerate the healing of cutaneous wounds and ulcers by promoting re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation as well as having an anti-microbial effect. To clarify the mechanisms accounting for the efficacy of a 70% sugar and 3% PI paste (U-PASTA™) (SP), various keratinocytes and fibroblasts functions, including proliferation, collagen synthesis, integrin expression, and cytokine and proteinase secretions in the presence of SP were investigated. Cultured human keratinocytes and fibroblasts were treated with various concentrations of SP, SU and PI. The secretion of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), transforming growth factor (TGF)-α and interleukin-1α from keratinocytes, was detected by ELISA. Collagen synthesis of fibroblasts was examined by means of detecting proline uptake. Furthermore, integrin expressions of these cells were analyzed using a flow cytometer. SP and PI increased intra-cellular u-PA of keratinocytes and stimulated the secretion of u-PA and TGF-α. Sugar accelerated the extra-cellular u-PA level only. Both SP and sugar increased the collagen synthesis of fibroblasts. SP and PI also remarkably induced the expressions of extra-cellular matrix receptor integrins, α1, α2, α3, α4, α5 and β1, on the surface of keratinocytes and fibroblasts. SP, the mixture of sugar and PI, is likely to act on wounds not only as an antibiotic agent, but also as a modulator for keratinocytes and fibroblasts.

EICMA acronyminator
Know your EAS from your ESA with Visordowns handy guide
EVERY new bike nowadays seems to come with its own set of acronyms to decode. Traction control can't be just called traction control. It needs a set of initials to show us how exciting and exclusive it is.
We blame electronics. No one ever did this stuff with handlebars.
If some of the new bike models to break cover recently have left you wondering WDYMBT? then Visordown is here to help.
FYI, here are some of the acronyms that were being banded about at the EICMA Milan motorcycle show last week, along with their meanings. So there's no need to wonder WTF it's all about anymore. OK?

Amish cuisine is a part of Ohio and Pennsylvania states of America, and their traditional cuisine involves their home grown foods. Amish bake many varieties of baked goodies such as pie,cookies, cakes and also breads. Amish Dinner rolls are very popular as they are served in most of the Amish restaurants. These dinner rolls came out extremely fluffy, super puffy and soft. This dinner rolls calls for mashed potatoes, which gives the softness to this dinner rolls. I really loved this dinner rolls as they were extremely soft and super spongy than you can imagine and trust me these rolls are just prefect to make some ultimate sandwiches out of it. I have bookmarked this recipe from King Arthur Flour long back while i was searching for an easy breezy dinner rolls, and this dinner rolls caught my eyes immediately.

That was the largest monthly increase since January 2000 and much bigger than the City had expected. The year-on-year rate of increase rose from 6% in October to 7.1%, the strongest since 1988.
Sales of clothes and shoes were particularly strong, up by 2% during the month, as the mild spell ended. Household goods sales rose by 1.7% while 'other stores' enjoyed a 2.6% leap. Spending was encouraged by falling prices, which were 0.2% lower than a year ago.
In contrast, US figures showed retail sales slumped by a record 3.7% in November as car purchases collapsed.
Meanwhile, in the latest survey of more than 1000 manufacturers by the CBI some 50% of firms said orders were below normal while only 16% said they were above normal. The resulting negative balance of 34% compares with minus 33% last month. Stocks of finished goods have risen to their highest for three years as demand has dried up. Expectations about future output are also the gloomiest for three years.
In a sign that inflation, already at its lowest since 1963, could fall further, manufacturers expect prices to fall sharply over the next four months. Sterling was slightly stronger at $1.4480. Short sterling futures lost ground as further rate cuts seemed less likely.

Radware's Emergency Response Team (ERT) is an emergency DDoS service that can stop DDoS attacks fast. This unique DDoS service is designed to provide 24x7 security services for customers facing a denial-of-service (DoS) or a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack or a malware outbreak. Often, these attacks require immediate assistance and specialized DDoS prevention techniques.
The ERT will provide instantaneous, expert security assistance and DDoS attack defense techniques in order to stop all DDoS attacks threatening your organization and restore network and service operational status. The ERT is staffed by DDoS protection service experts that have vast knowledge and experience with network threats, detection and mitigation, and in-depth experience of the AMS family of products. In addition, the ERT learns from each customer engagement and simulates the same scenario internally for further analysis and proactive implementation of DDoS attack defense and DDoS prevention techniques for other customers that may face a similar security threat making this a unique and valuable DDoS service.
Seat Pagine Gialle thwarted a massive server attack within minutes with Radware's DefensePro and Emergency Response Team.
Other vendors' "emergency response" DDoS services only offer the ability to go directly to a self-service knowledge portal for information gathering and potential resolution. There is no immediate, proactive, hands-on participation by security and product experts to mitigate the active DDoS threat or attack. Other market DDoS services only offer pre-installation or infrastructure design professional services.
These DDoS services are delivered already through Radware's extensive partner network or in special cases by its security engineering or technical support teams. This is truly a "plug-in" emergency DDoS attack defense service with dedicated specialists that can respond in real-time to protect and stop DDoS attacks against your organization.
The ERT greatly enhances the customer experience, as many businesses lack the ability, time, or experience necessary to identify and mitigate DDoS threats quickly." - Frost & Sullivan

A guy over at INGO (Indiana Gun Owners) forum got one of these and apparently he was able to grind down to the original RAA data.
5.45 Saiga Goodness... (56K DEATH!) - INGunOwners
We just received a large shipment of Saigas today, finally. One thing is the RAA import marks are taken out, not nicely in fact, but a way in which involves stipling/etching. Ugly as hell. I'm not sure how I'm going to remove this, as I haven't tried to polish it out yet. If that don't work, I'll tig the whole damn spot. I'll post pics in the morning. Just wondering if anyone has corrected this problem yet.

Thanks for that, I couldn't find anything when I searched. Still, I don't think all the markings are the same depth, I shall see within a week when I'm stuck cleaning them all after conversions.
The last 2 I have bought (both 7.62X39) have had that "patch"....I just used scotch brite and it came right off....then when I paint after the conversion you cannot even tell it was there.
And for the record I bought them from Gilberts Guns.
I got them off pretty easy. Any of the old ones that were to be shipped to RAA had them. There is a couple new importers for them now.
I received two more 7.62's yesterday. Just laughed at the "patch".
(I have all the conversion parts for both guns from CSS. Still waiting for Dinzag for a few other parts. I know I know....he only ships during a full moon ) and will sand it off.
Somebody does need their ass kicked for that "cover up" decision for sure.
You would think the "new" importer would have just stamped their logo etc. on the other side and been done with it versus destroying the guns appearance with that hack job of a cover up.
Oh well. If that is all we have to bitch about I guess we are in pretty good shape.
The .223 I have has "Mercury Hermes" stamped on the left side of the receiver, IIRC. So apparently, the "patch" isn't terribly difficult to remove without power tools?
I sanded it smooth and when I finished (painted) the bottom I painted the side(s) with the 500f engine paint....cannot even notice the patch ....

Brooklyn Meetz Philly
Brooklyn Meetz Philly is The Brooklyn Boy 3.
Before the confusion, the pleasure, the decisions, the fights, the memories, the laughter, the pain, the passion, the experience and most importantly the fun, Kel had a regular life.
He was attending to college to obtain a degree, and he stumbled onto a person that would change his life, forever. This is the story of how Brooklyn met Philly and how the relationships of his friends, son, and family grows into the foundation is it today.
Day 1: Xzavion Mikhael "Kel" Johnson
Viewpoint from Kel:
I walked into the Starbucks and looked around for my new classmate. I am stressed about this project and that this new classmate that I'm meeting today is incompetent.
"Where is she?!" I thought. I looked around the coffee establishment and didn't see her around. So I walked over to a couch and dropped my book bag down. I flopped onto the couch and proceeded to open my books.
"Fine, I can do this on my own." I opened my syllabus and put my glasses on.
"I'm ready to get down to business. NUR 341 Introduction to Psychosocial and Spiritual Care..."
"Ugh!" I groaned. "I'm not looking forward to this."
A young lady walked up to him holding two cups of coffee and tried to get his attention.
"Excuse me?" She said. Her voice was squeaky but soft.
Kel looked up and smiled. "Your my partner?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry that I was late. Hopefully this cup of coffee will make up for it."
Kel chuckled, "Oh I don't drink coffee, sorry."
She smiled, "Oh, well then a simple apology will suffice. Sorry about that. But let's get down to work."
Kel moved his bag and she sat down next to him.
She read out loud, "Intro. to Psychosocial and Spiritual Care."
Kel smiled, "It's not that bad."
She laughed, "You must be smart!"
Kel chuckled, "Well, my sexiness can't get me everywhere, my intelligence is a good back up plan."
She smiled, "Well, it has gotten you this far. By the way, I'm Kyla. Let's get down to work!"
Kel chuckled, "Yeah, my friends call me Kel. Lets knock this out!"
Kyla and Kel started to study.
