Free Shell Account

Wow! who would have guessed the trouble you would have to go through to get a free shell account. Thats amazing. I went to one site, and you have to join a fight club to get your shell account. It's amazing.

Games And Such

Well this is cool. Since being in linux, i've really wanted to play some videogames, so my next big project, when I get out of ftc of course, is to get some videogames working. Particularly Nox. Its a really fun game, sort of like diablo, except, it is more fun...for me at least. Anyways, thats a picture of it up above. It was really inspirational to see it working to say the least. Here are some good websites of reference,

• Frankscorner.org
  
• Winehq.org.
  

Other games, would be RA2 && YR. Counterstrike (going to get that afterwards). And all of the original red alert games.

Bah. I dont know if I ever want to come out of the shell again though, I just pray that God gives me some new ability of self control. Otherwise i'm never going to see this stuff again untill I'm married, Which will be very very good. I can say at least my computer will be in the living room.

On another note, I have successfully managed to get jinzora to work the way I want it too, and its fantastic. I wouldn't use it if I were on my own computer, but I do like it more than iTunes. I want to help brett out with another CMS called joomla. I'm going to be checking that out soon, and see if I cant build a working example with the source code that I have for the church.

Well, thats all I have time for. I just finished burning the fc7 live test 1, so I'm going home to fire that up and give it a review. I'm interested in seeing this control panel that has been spoken about.

The New Gnome Control Panel

Well there you have it. Gnome has finally got the ingenuity to make a centralized control panel, probably one of the first features necessary for linux (gnome) to be user friendly, at least in my opinion.

Well anyways, Haven't done much today as far as computers go. I need my power adapter for my laptop. Anyways, I'm not so sure that I still want a mac anymore, I'm really really starting to enjoy linux. The more that I become familiar with the shell, the more friendly the environment is. Linux Rocks. But macs really are simple and they do pack quite a punch as far as software and creativity go.

The Shell

Hey Guys, This is so amazing, I've been learning so much since I removed the x window system, from commands, to SELinux Security Context editing, to firewalls, interfaces, secure shells, editing configuration files, finding logs, and solving my own problems, and advancing to the level where I can now help others.

God's really blessed me with this thing. I moved here to keep a safety net around myself so I dont fall into that same temptation that has held me captive for many years. When he told me to do this, I knew what lay ahead. Only a bit more to go.

Right now I'm trying to install this web based music server called Jinzora Which, not only works on linux, but windows as well. It can interface with a variety of different music programs, in my case, the music player daemon (MPD).

I'm also looking at a few other distributions as well, for example, or as far as I know, Mandriva One Is including the new visual effect, and desktop rendering platform metissee. Which when I last saw it was in it's development stages.

I was also looking in on something earlier for the new FEDORA Core 7 Test Release, they have included their own control panel of sorts, the first attempt at some centralized form of controls, and it looked extremely sweet.

Distribution called CentOS is pretty much RHEL except it's free. they built it from the source rpms from what I understand. I could be wrong, but when I'm out in the business world thats some really useful and practical information to know. sweet.. To me thats just awesome.

In a similar scenario, there is the famous, cpanel for webhosting, this thing looks amazing, see the picture to the right, and the zpanel project made a virtually free implementation of that, so I might put that on my fedora box when I install X again. Which I'm really wanting to move to FC7 even if it is still in testing... a Yum upgrade might look good too.

Well thats all that I have time for. So i'll update later.
