on these pages you will find many screen shots of various desktop computer Graphical User Interfaces and operating systems. Many different people have had different ideas of how a GUI should work and these screen shots show many of the more popular ones.
This document explores methods for squeezing excess bytes out of simple programs. (Of course, the more practical purpose of this document is to describe a few of the inner workings of the ELF file format and the Linux operating system. But hopefully you can also learn something about how to make really teensy ELF executables in the process.)
implements Windows kernel API and NDIS API within Linux kernel. A Windows driver for wireless network card is then linked to this implementation so that the driver runs natively, as though it is in Windows, without binary emulation.
Having only the services you need running will make your system faster, more stable and secure. So the first thing you need to do after installing a Linux distribution is to manually edit the list of enabled services.
aims to implement functions (not present on Windows 98 / ME) to kernel32.dll and other system libraries so that recent Windows XP applications and games work on Windows 98 / ME. (requires Windows 98 FE or Windows 98 SE or Windows ME)
Need a boot disk for your Windows machine? There are essentially seven steps to create a bootable DVD or bootable UFD (USB Flash Drive), all of which are command line based, this article tries to simplify all the information needed
a collection of utilities and technical information related to Windows internals by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell. Microsoft acquired Sysinternals in July, 2006.
explores a novel interface to a system administration task. Instead of creating an interface de novo for the task, the author modified a popular computer game, Doom, to perform useful work.
powerful x86 virtualization (similar to VMWare) runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh and OpenSolaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4 and 2.6), Solaris and OpenSolaris, and OpenBSD.
designed to be used by Unix distribution developers, package developers, and system implementors. Intended to be a reference, not a tutorial on how to manage a Unix filesystem or directory hierarchy.
Parallel I/O continues to be a topic of active development. Recent years have seen the creation of many new options. Even with these new choices, certain factors remain constant. Parallel applications need a fast I/O subsystem.
a free NAS (Network-Attached Storage) server, supporting: CIFS (samba), FTP, NFS, RSYNC protocols, local user authentication, Software RAID (0,1,5) with a Full WEB configuration interface. FreeNAS takes less than 32MB...
a simple and failsafe way to create complete virtual machines for VMware Player on the web. Install any Windows, Linux, BSD or Solaris, and test live-CDs in a safe environment.
You'll find plain-English information here about using Linux on a personal computer or on a shell account provided by your ISP. After a brief history and overview of Linux, you'll find a concise and occasionally light-hearted treatment of these topics.
