Migrating from Ubuntu to Fedora

Posted on July 18, 2016 by mohamedation

I have been using Ubuntu since 2008. Which is exactly how long I have been using Linux (and aware of it). Back then when I was learning about Linux and all the culture behind the free and open source movement, I found that Ubuntu was (probably still is) one of the best beginner friendly distros if not the best. However, when I started using it back in late 2008, not everything worked on my laptop, most importantly, the wireless adapter. A few google searches later led me to the terminal and some cryptic lines of codes that I had no idea what they would do when entered and wallah, it made it even worse that I had to re-install the OS. That is how I learned how to use Linux. That is what got me into programming, IT. security, and even micro-controllers development boards such as Arduino. Back to the recent time, I have been using Ubuntu as my main desktop’s and laptop’s OS. aside from Kali Linux when working on security stuff and I got very comfortable that I decided to take the next logical step and change distro. The logical step came in the form of Fedora. I […]

StatusR The main idea of this bash script is to get and show status report quickly on weather, Internet status, Google DNS status, OpenDNS status, Internet threat level, and space weather. Possibly other information in the future. it could be altered easily to show more or less. its great for fun and can be really useful. Its also a great way to learn about bash script. here is the code #!/bin/bash ######################################################### # The main idea of this bash script is to # # get and show status report quickly on # # Weather, Internet threat level, and Space # # Weather.

كنت ناوي اكتب الموضوع ده من زمان بس كنت بكسل او بنسي.. لكن اتسألت اكتر من مرة و حبيت اني اكتبه بقي. الموضوع اكيد منتشر علي الانترنت و في كتب كتير لكن حبيت اكتبه بطريقتي. ايه لينكس ده؟ و ايه ابونتو؟ طيب لينكس هو ابونتو لا ده حاجة و دي حاجة؟ الموضوع سهل.. لكن محتاج الاول نفهم ايه هو نظام التشغيل… نظام التشغيل عبارة عن برنامج في اساسه هو مجرد وسيلة علشان الهاردوير او مكونات اجهزة الكومبيوتر تتواصل مع بعضها و تقوم باللي هي معمولة علشان تقوم بيه سواء الصوت, الصورة, المعالجة, الخ. بجانب البرنامج ده بيبقي في برامج تانية ليها وظيفة تانية اللي بتبقي عبارة عن السوفتوير اللي بنستخدمها او بنلعبها زي المتصفحات او سوليتير مثلا. طيب يعني اللي هو زي ايه؟ في العادة الاغلبية عارفين الوندوز و عارفين الماك او نظام شركة أبل و اكيد بنسمع لينكس من وقت لاخر. في كتير….اي حاجة بنستخدمها غالبا فيها نظام تشغيل.. كومبيوتر, تليفيزيون, ماكينات صرف النقود او الATM و غيرهم كتير… اغلبهم بيبقي نظام التشغيل لينكس لانه مجاني.. مش مجاني بس انه ببلاش لكن ممكن اي حد يعدل او يغير فيه و يعيد توزيعه من غير ماحد يقوله بتعمل ايه و علشان طريقة برمجته و لغته كان من السهل انه يتعدل […]
