Debian - Perfect Desktop Application
Debian Linux - From the installation to the upgrade under Windows, we tasted the joy and pain: office (notebook pre-installed Windows, why not pre-installed office?), Game (the most love is of course 3D game Moh, RTCW and incredible Machine), music (BT or APE from CD), movie (free WINDVD can only see 5 minutes, but fortunately my notebook is pre-installed with Windvd), virus (Trojan, worm), inexplicable mistake ... ... of course, the biggest torture is too "pirated" two-word or drilling into unbeatable ear and China's mainland piracy rate is 92%, and the angry girl on the Internet is called a sound and foreigner. I have a thief to make a thief, and I hit the brain together, constitute a complicated and depressed emotions, like a spiritual slavery of two thousand years, seriously affecting my normal thinking. It is time to break the tyrant's crowd of tyrants in the field of ignorance. So, I intend to change my notebook to Linux. This is a very painful attempt. Compared to the convenient and fast WINDOWS2000 installation, Linux installed in a suitable computer is undoubtedly a long way for a thorns. First of all, I chose the version of Debian Linux because she is very stable, and it is easy to upgrade. This is a masterpiece of thousands of discussing programmers, so if you have encountered difficulties, please don't scold her, you must be in you. Debian's stable distribution is Woody. The core of her use is 2.4.18, although it is too little, but only the release is only the disc image. If you have a very new hardware, but also want to use some of these features such as PCI and USB hottext, then this core is a bit old, there is no relationship, we can start from here, build a core of 2.6. The fastest download address is (900K): http://mirrors.geekbone.org/debian-cd/debian-30r2-i386-binary-1.iso. If this is not, you can go to http://www.debian.org/cd/http-ftp/ here to find another download link, just download the first ISO file. Then, take her into a disc. Then install her like the WindowN2000 is installed. Before installation, please delete the original one of your hard drive in Windowns2000, remember its space size, and remember your network card type. Then you can install her in the partition you tether. Very detailed process can be seen this page: http://www.huihoo.com/gnu_linux/debian/tutorial/debian-install-Guide-4.html On this home page, "4.15 Select the Source and Start Install Debian Basics System "This section should pay attention, if you don't have a network, then you choose CDROM if you have a broadband Internet access (IP address, gateway, DNS settings, the same below Windows), then select Edit Sources List by Hand, and enter Deb http://mirror.geekbone.org/debian Woody Mian Contrib Non-Free, then Ctrl-O Save, Ctrl-x exits. Next, Cancel is selected on the drawings 65, and Fig. 65, 66 is not selected, and Fig. 68 is selected, and Fig. 69 is selected. If you don't have a network, then choose Run Tasksel, select the X-Window-System, Desktop Environment, C-DEV Development Pack, and Simplified Chinese Environment. Even if I finished a Woody installed.
If there is a network, then you just don't want Tasksel Cancel, use this clean basic system (left and right 80M) to directly upgrade. Before upgrading, the contents of /etc/apt/souces.list are as follows: Deb http://mirror.geekbone.org/debian Sarge Main Contrib Non-Free Run Apt-Get Update Upgrade. This upgrade is only upgraded to the package already installed on your machine, so it is still a matter to do. First of all, it is of course an upgrade core to 2.6.7-1-686. Run command: APT-GET Install Kernel-Image-2.6.7-1-686. In this way, there is a VMLinuz-2.6.7-1-686 and the initrd-2.6.7-1-686 and the initrd-2.6.7-1-686 and the INITRD-2.6.7-1-686 and INITRD-2.6.7-1-686 and the edit /etc/lilo.conf file, add this boot option, run LILO is configuring changes. Restart the machine into the new core system environment. Then it is configured to configure your machine. Graphics card, sound card, network card, usb what. Under the core of 2.4, it rely on the / etc / modules file to configure it. You can download MODCONF (APT-GET Install Modconf) to modify this file, but for novices, this is undoubtedly very headache, so I suggest that you use discover1. The old version is Discover, which is different for hardware support.) This package will manage your own hardware, if discover1 can't identify your hardware, then use Modconf to manually load. Install Discover: Apt-Get Install Discover1 and then run the lsmod command, you will find that there are many hardware modules that are automatically loaded. Of course, you may also need a USB device or PCMCIA to automatically load the corresponding module, then you need to install the HotPlug package and the UDEV package (upgrade to one of the benefits of 2.6): Apt-get install hotplug udev, in fact udev Depending on HotPlug, if you install UDEV, HotPlug is automatically installed according to the dependence (this is the biggest benefit of debian Linux, Redhat often makes people go crazy when it is looking for the relying on the rendering of the package). Obviously, your machine is fully configured here. Now, add a graphical interface. This is also very simple, and the APT-GET Install X-WINDOW-SYSTEM can be installed on the XFree86 system, which will remind you to configure XFree86. When you select the card, you can choose Vesa, then the general graphics card driver, everything is tapped. The car, according to the preferences when selecting resolution. (If configured, the startX command is wrong, mostly the mouse configuration has a problem, confirming the PSMouse, Mousev and USBHID (USB Mouse) module, if not, the MODPROBE PSMOUSE MOUSEDEV USBHID is connected to the GNOME graphical interface (I think GNOME is more simple than KDE): Apt-Get Install Gnome. With gnome, my principle is that I will enter the car. Successful, the next is GDM, because there is no GDM, you have to start the graphical interface every time, or enter the XDM system, the command is: APT-GET Install GDM. When the GDM is configured, select GDM as the default interface.
Ok, basically all, it is lacking Chinese support, install it: APT-GET INSTALL LOCALES. During the process of installing Locales, you ask you to configure environmental support in those regions, my principle is that everything starting with EN and the beginning of EN is selected. The system then automatically generates the local LOCALES file. After it is, it is a Chinese letter library, it is very simple: APT-GET Install Xfonts-Intl-Chinese. Of course, these words are not good, if you want TrueType fonts, go to the forum. With font, then restart the machine to enter the X-Window system. When logging in, don't forget to select Chinese Simplified UTF-8 in the Language column on the left left of the login window. Then it is to install the FCITX Chinese input method (this input method is very similar to the pinyin plus, very easy to use, and of course there are five fonts.): Apt-get install fcitx. Then I can use the Chinese in the terminal to enter in Chinese. Everything is done. However, this system is far away from the application. The following is the software that can be installed and its command: OpenOffice (with m ¥ offictoric office software,): Apt-get install openoffice.org openoffice.org-debian-files openoffice. ORG-L10N-EN-CN OpenOffice.org-Help-EN-CN graphics processing software: (almost the same as Photoshop features) APT-GET Install Gimpmsn, Yahoo Install GIMPMSN, Yahoo Install Software (Due to Teng Xun boring, cancel support): APT -Get Install Gaimgthumb View Software (Not Differently ACDSEE): APT-GET Install Gthumbgtkam Digital Camera Software (Many Cameras, no driver. My old Canon A60 is supported): APT-GET Install GTKAMDVD Player xine (You can read a lot of formats, interface Similar to WINDVD): Apt-Get Install Xine-UI. Realonegold software is going to download. Listening to MP3 software BMP and XMMS: Apt-get install beep-media-player XMMS is a very good super Mario game SUPERTUX: APT-GET Install SuperTuxquake2 Try Now: Apt-Get Install Guake2 is very fun to play TANK game: APT- Get Install Atanks Nice VoTWYPE: To go to the home page to download. Wait,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,. As for me, I have these additional Minicom and Planner above, it is very enough. However, it is also useful to recompile the core to adapt to your needs. For example, I will compile the network card, the sound card, USB HOST, and the graphics card into the core, and remove what many people will never have, then, hit the system. Sleeping patch, my notebook doesn't have to start each time, but also install ACPID, CPUFREQ and POWERNOWD, so my notebook is running at 66% of the CPU rated run frequency at work, good provincial battery .
