Linux Live Script: Tools for create Live Linux OWN UR OWN WINDOWS

Linux Live Script: Tools for create Live Linux
via Linux Mini by FRIS on 10/6/07
Linux Live is a set of shell scripts which allows you to create own Live Linux from your installed Linux distribution.

The Live system you create will be bootable from CD-ROM or a disk device, for example USB Flash Drive, USB Pen Drive, Camera connected to USB port, and so on.

People use Linux Live scripts to boot Linux from iPod as well.

How to build a Live distro:

1. Install your favourite distro to disk partition, or into a folder on your existing system. Slackware is recommended but not required.
2. Build aufs kernel module and squashfs kernel module (optionally patched to support LZMA). The step above is not required if you use precompiled Linux Kernel from this website.
3. Install kernel modules to the newly installed distro to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/fs/. Make sure you are running the same kernel you used to compile modules
4. Remove all unnecessary files (for example man pages and all other files you don't need), to make your Live Linux system as small as possible (this step is optional).
5. Download Linux Live scripts from this website and unpack it in /tmp. Read ./DOC/requirements.txt to find out what linux-live scripts need.
6. Edit .config file if you need to modify some variables. Finally login as root and run ./build. Live distribution's 'directory tree' will be created in /tmp/live_data_1234 where 1234 is a random number.
7. To make ISO image, run make_iso.sh.
8. To make a bootable (usb) disk, run bootinst.sh

Top 4 Free Hard Drive Testing Tools

There are many free hard drive testing tools available to help you determine what, if anything, is wrong when you suspect there may be a problem with a hard drive.

Some of these tools are built in to your operating system already and are ready to use right now while others are available from your hard drive manufacturer.

If you're interested, there are some slightly more costly but arguably better third-party hard drive testing tools available

1. Microsoft Windows Built-In Error Checking
Error Checking, sometimes referred to as chkdsk, is a hard drive testing tool that comes with Microsoft Windows that can scan your hard drive in search of a wide range of errors. This tool can also attempt to correct a number of hard drive problems.

2. Seagate SeaTools
Seagate SeaTools is free hard drive testing software that comes in two forms for home users:

SeaTools for DOS supports Seagate or Maxtor drives and runs independent from your operating system on its own disk or CD making it highly reliable.


SeaTools for Windows is a program that installs on your Windows system but it really easy to use. You can do basic and advanced testing of any kind of drive - internal or external - from any manufacturer.
For those looking for SeaTools Desktop, SeaTools Online, or Maxtor's PowerMax software, please note that the two tools above have replaced all three. Seagate now owns the Maxtor brand.

3. Hitachi Drive Fitness Test
Hitachi Drive Fitness Test is free hard drive diagnostic software available for use on most drives available today.

The Hitachi Drive Fitness Test software installs on a floppy disk which is then used to boot the computer. See the installation instructions from Hitachi in the link below for details.

4. Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostic
Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostic is free hard drive testing software designed for Western Digital branded hard drives. Data Lifeguard Diagnostic will also run diagnostics on hard drives from other manufacturers as long as the primary drive is Western Digital.

The Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostic software installs on Windows operating systems and allows for a number of hard drive tests.

Best tools to keep your Mac in best shape

Mac OS X runs on a different file system (HFS, as opposed to Window’s NTFS) that automatically defragments and optimizes itself. So if you’re a Mac user, chances are you would never need to defragment your hard disk, thanks to Apple. However fragmentation is only one of the many problems we face regarding system optimization.Mac OS X is quite different from Windows. Installing programs for instance, only requires a simple drag-and-drop of the application from the DMG (image file) to the ‘Applications’ folder. Uninstalling is just as simple with a swift pull to Trash.
Optimizers

MainMenu
The simplest of the 4 here. MainMenu allows you to perform basic optimizing actions i.e. clearing system and application caches, repairing permissions and rebuilding Spotlight index.


Maintenance
With Maintenance, you’ll be able to clear system, application and font caches as well as old log files; repair permissions; and rebuild Spotlight and Mail indexes.

IceClean
Similar to MainMenu, IceClean offers a simple-to-use GUI but it is more capable than it looks. IceClean can update prebindings, repair permissions, do a system cleanup (clear cache, remove log files and temporary items), verify the system disk, and completely remove all .DS_store files (those are the files which OS X looks to to retrieve folder preferences e.g. icon view, size, window size and arrangement).

OnyX
OnyX is a bit more powerful. I’d say that it’s the most multi-functional of the lot. It is able to repair permissions; clear system, application and font caches, old log files and temporary items; it can also check the S.M.A.R.T status of your hard disk; and has a few personalization options as well.

Personalization tools for macintosh

Personalization

These applications basically will reveal hidden functions of Finder, Exposé, Dock, Safari, Spotlight and other global preferences. They increase OS X’s functionality and allow you to modify your system to suit your needs; and eliminate settings that you don’t particularly enjoy.

Deeper and TinkerTool
Both of these applications are pretty much alike. They perform the tasks mentioned above and a few more. TinkerTool, for example can disable the creation of .DS_store files on network drives, fix the Dock so that no changes can be made to its content and add a stack for Recent Items, even change the Dock to give it a 2D look in Leopard. There are also more advanced options like how an application crash is handled and enabling developer modes for Safari and Dashboard.

Secrets
Secrets is different because it is actually a preference pane which allows you to tweak a lot of settings through System Preferences. The full list of what you can do with Secrets is found here, it is so long it’s exhausting to read! But you get the gist, almost any setting can be tweaked.

Backup tools for mac pc

Backup

Backup is not a topic which I like to discuss very often. It’s quite a touchy subject because it goes very well for some people but for others, it may end in disaster. With Leopard, we have Time Machine, a built-in backup system into OS X which is easy to use. Personally, I don’t use any form of backup because I don’t trust any application to move my precious files around (I do it manually, backing up each individual folder with care). But I know of lots of other people who rely on backup systems to help them save their documents onto another location on a regular basis.

I’m going to touch on two free backup applications which may or may not work for you. Like I said, “backup” is a touchy subject and most applications will receive mixed reviews.

iBackup 2008
This application is simple and allows multiple backup profiles which is used to backup files, folders, application and system preferences; and data from system applications (Address Book, iCal, Stickies, Mail, iChat, Safari, iTunes etc.). It is also capable of scheduling backups to a local or networked drive or to WebDAV servers daily or weekly. It can also create archives (.zip) of your backups. One thing that I think is missing from iBackup is the ability to perform incremental backups — backing up only items which have changed after the last backup. Correct me if I’m wrong?

Carbon Copy Cleaner
CCC is fairly popular in the Mac community. CCC is slightly superior over iBackup because it is able to completely clone your hard disk, allowing you to boot directly from your backup and run OS X! CCC is also able to perform incremental backups, scheduled backups up to the hour; and backup to local and networked hard disks. One fret I have with CCC is the many reported incidences that it breaks with Leopard. The latest version supposedly works on Leopard but it is still not Universal Binary, I think.

Keep in mind that iBackup and CCC are good backup utilities, but frequent manual backup is still the most reliable. Applications tend to screw up and backup is not something you’d want to mess around with. But hey, I’m not a party-pooper. Go ahead and try these applications, it may work for you!

Snipping Tools in Window XP and Vista

Use Snipping Tool Shortcut to Capture Start Menu, Right Click Menu, Mouseover Hightlight Effect or Lost Focus Objects

Snipping Tool is a useful screen capturing comes included in Windows Vista
or Windows XP Tablet edition for free, which can be a total replacement and free alternative for the popular SnagIt screen capture software. However, when using Snipping Tool there is obvious shortcoming, that is unable to capture ‘temporary’ or ‘non-permanent’ or ‘disappear-on-lost-focus’ objects on the desktop.

To start capturing using Snipping Tool, usually users have to run Snipping Tool (which will automatically open in snipping mode) or click on “New” button in the Snipping Tool window. Whichever way, the focus on the objects or windows to capture will definitely be lost. If you’re trying to take snapshot of normal opened window or a portion of the desktop screen estate or whole screen, there won’t be any problem to snip and capture them into image. However, when come to ‘focus-sensitive’ object component on Windows desktop, there will be a hard time to capture the image of them.

One typical example is Start Menu, which only show up when user clicks on Start button, and auto hide or disappear when user clicks on other place. The same goes to contextual menu that appears when user right clicks on a file, folder, icon, shortcut, link, window, taskbar, toolbar, desktop or any other objects in Vista and XP. The right click context menu will auto close when user click on something else, such as to start new snip (capture). Other possible failure include unable to capture mouseover effects when mouse is placed on top of them such as highlighted words, JavaScript buttons or tooltip. When mouse is moved, the effect will subside.

Luckily Snipping Tool has a built-in undocumented hotkey or shortcut to trigger snipping process instead of having to press “New” button every time. The keyboard shortcut to start snipping is Ctrl+Print Screen. So in order to capture a snip of menu, right click contextual menu, tooltip, mouse over effects and many other on-focus changes, use the following steps:

1. Run Snipping Tool by clicking the Start button, th[/b]en go to All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking[b]Snipping Tool.

2. Snipping Tool should automatically enter snipping mode to allow you to capture screenshot. Press ESC button or click on Cancel button on Snipping Tool window to cancel snipping.
3. Open the menu or place your mouse over object to trigger the effects, highlights or tooltips or whatever things that you want to capture.
4. Press CTRL+PRINT SCREEN keys simultaneously. The hotkey will only work with Snipping Tool opens.
5. System should freeze everything on screen intact and allows user to capture everything that are previously unable to capture. Click the arrow next to the New button, select a snip type from the menu, and then use your mouse or tablet pen to capture the screen area that you want to put into image.

If you cannot find Snipping Tool in Vista, here’s how to install Snipping Tool.

Snipping Tool actually has available for Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 since a while ago. Thus, Microsoft is kind of porting the Snipping Tool from Tablet PC to Vista for desktop and notebook usage.

Here’s how you can reveal the Snipping Tool in Windows Vista, if it’s not yet enabled in your system:

1. Click on Vista Start button, and go to Control Panel.
2. Click on Programs link.
3. Click on Turn Windows features on or off link. If User Account Control pops up for confirmation, click on Continue button.
4. Scroll down the list of features in Windows Features dialog window, tick the check box for Tablet-PC Optional Components to enable and show the Snipping Tool in Vista.

5.Click OK when done.

Mozilla Jetpack 0.2

This is the software publisher's description.

The add-ons community for Firefox is arguably one of the largest, most vibrant sources for innovation on the Web today. If you want to affect people, to reach them and make a difference in their daily lives, the Firefox add-ons platform is hard to beat, with over one billion installs of Firefox add-ons to date.

However, we’ve only scratched the surface of its potential.

Today we’re announcing the launch of Jetpack, a Mozilla Labs project to explore new ways to extend & personalize the Web.

In short, Jetpack is an API for allowing you to write Firefox add-ons using the web technologies you already know.

With Jetpack, we’re building upon our experience over the last four years empowering a community of more than 8,000 developers to produce more than 12,000 add-ons to imagine and build the next generation of the add-ons platform. We want to grow our community of developers by orders of magnitude through making add-on creation much more accessible, and yet more powerful by developing it as an extensible platform for innovation itself. Many useful Jetpack Feature’s can be written in under a dozen lines of code.

Specifically, Jetpack will be an exploration in using Web technologies to enhance the browser (e.g. HTML, CSS and Javascript), with the goal of allowing anyone who can build a Web site to participate in making the Web a better place to work, communicate and play.

Most importantly, from a user perspective, Jetpack will allow new features to be added to the browser without a restart or compatibility issues, resulting in little to no disruption to the online experience.

Free Beta Plug-in Integrates Microsoft Office with Google Apps

Sounds like the best of both worlds: the power and familiarity of Microsoft Office combined with convenience and collaboration features of Google Apps.

Even better it's free. Well the beta is free, whether the final version is free is another thing.

There is lot to like here. By combining the power of Office and Apps you end up with a product that is what Microsoft Office Live might look like in a year or two. But you can have it now. Just look at some of the features:

* Open your documents online in Google Docs and access them from any computer.
* Access your files from any computer with or without Microsoft Office.
* Manage, create and delete Google docs folders right from within Office applications.
* Add collaborators as you save your file in Google Docs.
* Move or copy files between Google Docs folders.
* Manage your Google Docs file library just as if it was on your own computer.
* Add collaborators to your documents and manage their permissions.
* Changes made through Office apply instantly to your Google Docs version of each file.
* Find any document based on its content using the powerful integrated Google search feature.
* Switch between multiple accounts (Google Docs and Google Apps) to find your business and personal files in seconds.
* Communicate with your collaborators right from within your shared document.
* Send automated notifications to your friends and co-workers to streamline the collaboration process.
