Programming Visual Basic 2005

Book Description
This newest programming guide by bestselling author Jesse Liberty isn't your typical Visual Basic book. It's not a primer on the language, and it won't dull your brain with arguments hyping .NET either. Its goal, rather, is to make you immediately productive, creating Windows and Web applications using Visual Basic 2005 and Visual Studio 2005.

Written for VB6 and novice programmers, the book shows how Visual Basic 2005 can be used to rapidly build modern Windows and web applications.

What makes this book different is what's not included. There's no introduction to Visual Basic, no explanation of how it fits into the .NET world. Why waste time reading about something you'll learn for yourself as soon as you start creating applications? You won't even write a "Hello World" program. With Programming Visual Basic 2005 you'll get started building something meaningful, right away.

The book is divided into three parts--Building Windows Applications, Building Web Applications, and Programming with Visual Basic--each of which could be a book on its own. The author shares his thorough understanding of the subject matter through lucid explanations and intelligently designed lessons that guide you to increasing levels of expertise. By the time you've finished the book, you'll know how to program both Windows and web applications with VB 2005.

The support for this book extends beyond its covers. Jesse offers a FAQ, Errata, complete source code and a link to a free private support discussion center on his web site: LibertyAssociates.com - just click on books.

Jesse Liberty, Microsoft .NET MVP, is the best-selling author of O'Reilly Media's Programming ASP.NET and over a dozen other books on web and object-oriented programming. Jesse is a frequent contributor to many industry publications and websites, and has spoken at numerous industry events. He is a former Distinguished Software Engineer at AT&T and Vice President for technology development at CitiBank.

Jesse Liberty's books have successfully guided thousands of programmers into the world of .NET programming, and Programming Visual Basic 2005 is no exception.

About the Author
David is a writer and broadcaster on international affairs, with a particular interest in Japan. He got the Internet bug in the days when Netscape ruled the world and websites were entirely hand coded. Then came WYSIWYDDG (what you see is what you definitely don\'t get) HTML editors. He tried a whole bunch, including several Japanese ones, before discovering Dreamweaver 3, and he\'s stayed with Dreamweaver ever since. He believes MX 2004 is the best yet, and might be persuaded to say it\'s finally WYSIWYG if he didn\'t spend so much time buried in Code view. David started creating dynamic websites with ASP and is thankful that unlike Cleopatra, he managed to survive before discovering PHP. When not developing websites, he spends his time writing about Japan, translating Japanese (he\'s translated several plays), and savoring the delights of raw fish and sake. Phil Sherry is a self-taught web developer during the day in Liverpool, and a freelance web anarchist for the remaining hours of the day. With lingering bad memories of having to use dial-up connection for years, he still does his best to design sites for the lowest common denominator. That means lower resolutions too, as well as people with slower machines (let's not mention those poor Windows users).

Working with Jake Smith, several rock gods have had their web presence greatly enhanced over the years, including Andy Rourke, the ex-bass player from The Smiths. Phil has previously worked on several friends of ED books, and also beta tested several key Adobe products. A self-confessed geek, Phil can usually be found in a room full of computers, surrounded by screens of ASCII. Andy is an internationally renowned web designer, developer and weblog author based in Brighton, England. Andy specializes in building attractive, accessible, and standards complaint web solutions. Andy enjoys writing about web techniques for sites such as digital-web.com and his work has been featured in numerous magazines, books, and websites around the world.

Simon is lead web developer at Agenzia, and has worked on numerous web projects for record labels, high-profile recording artists, and leading visual artists and illustrators, including The Libertines, Black Convoy, and Project Facade. Simon also oversees a production line of business, community, and voluntary sector web sites, and passionately ensures everything he builds is accessible and usable, and complies with current web standards. Simon regularly reviews CSS-based web sites for Stylegala, and does his best to keep his highly popular blog (collylogic.com) updated with noise about web standards, music, film, travels, and more web standards.

None Available Richard Rutter lives and works in Brighton, UK. He is Production Director for the web consultancy Clearleft (www.clearleft.com).

Richard has been designing and developing websites for nigh on ten years. Early in 2003, he built his first blogging engine, which still powers his weblog Clagnut (www.clagnut.com), in which he harps on about accessibility, web standards, and mountain biking.

Professional VB 2005 (Programmer to Programmer)

Professional VB 2005 (Programmer to Programmer)
by Bill Evjen (Author), Billy Hollis (Author), Rockford Lhotka (Author), Tim McCarthy (Author), Rama Ramachandran (Author), Kent Sharkey (Author), Bill Sheldon (Author)

In this book, we cover Visual Basic virtually from start to finish. We begin by looking at the .NET Framework and end by looking at the best practices for deploying .NET applications. In between, we look at everything from database access to integration with other technologies such as XML, along with investigating the new features in detail. You will see that Visual Basic 2005 has emerged as a powerful yet easy-to-use language that will allow you to target the Internet just as easily as the desktop.

This book is written to help experienced developers learn about Visual Basic 2005. From those who are just starting the transition from earlier versions to those who have used Visual Basic for a while and need to gain a deeper understanding, this book provides a discussion on the most common programming tasks and concepts you need.

Although, it is possible to create Visual Basic applications using the command-line tools contained in the.NET Framework SDK, you will need Visual Studio 2005 (Professional or higher), which includes the .NET Framework SDK, to get the most out of this book. You may use Visual Studio .NET 2002 or Visual Studio 2003 instead, but there may be cases where much of the lessons will just not work because functionalities and capabilities will not be available in these older versions.

Hacker Disassembling Uncovered

This book is dedicated to the basics of hacking—methods of analyzing programs using a debugger and disassembler. There is huge interest in this topic, but in reality, there are very few programmers who have mastered these methods on a professional level.

The majority of publications that touch on issues of analyzing and optimizing programs, as well as creating means of protecting information, delicately tiptoe around the fact that in order to competently find "holes" in a program without having its source code, you have to disassemble them. Restoring something that even somewhat resembles the source code is still considered an extremely complex task. In the book, the author describes a technology used by hackers that gives a practically identical source code, and this includes programs in C++ as well, which are particularly difficult to disassemble.

The book gives a detailed description of ways to identify and reconstruct key structures of the source language—functions (including virtual ones), local and global variables, branching, loops, objects and their hierarchy, mathematical operators, etc. The disassembly methodology that we will look at has been formalized—i.e., it has been translated from an intuitive concept into a complete technology, available and comprehensible to almost anyone.

The book contains a large number of unique practical materials. It is organized in such a manner that it will most certainly be useful to the everyday programmer as a manual on optimizing programs for modern intelligent compilers, and to the information protection specialist as a manual on looking for so-called "bugs." The "from simple to complex" style of the book allows it to easily be used as a textbook for beginner analyzers and "code diggers."

Windows Communication Foundation Unleashed (WCF) (Unleashed)

Windows Communication Foundation Unleashed (WCF) (Unleashed) (Paperback)
by Craig McMurtry (Author), Marc Mercuri (Author), Nigel Watling (Author), Matt Winkler (Author)

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a new Microsoft technology for allowing software to communicate. Superseding earlier technologies, such as COM/DCOM, .NET Remoting, ASP.NET Web Services, and the Web Services Enhancements for .NET, WCF provides a single solution that is designed to always be the best way to exchange data among software entities. It also provides the infrastructure for developing the next generation of Web services, with support for the WS-* family of specifications, and a new serialization system for enhanced performance. For information technology professionals, WCF supplies an impressive array of administration tools that enterprises and software vendors can use to reduce the cost of ownership of their solutions without writing a single line of code. Most important, WCF finally delivers on the long-postponed promise of model-driven software development with the new software factory approach, by which one can iteratively design solutions in a modeling language and generate executables from lower-level class libraries.

Windows Communication Foundation Unleashed is designed to be the best resource for software developers and architects working with WCF. The book guides readers toward a conceptual understanding of all the facilities of WCF and provides step-by-step guides to applying the technology to practical problems.

• Introduces you to WCF and then takes you deep inside the technology
• Gives you nearly 100 best practices for programming with WCF
• Provides detailed coverage on how to version services that you will not find anywhere else
• Delves into using WCF together with Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows CardSpace
• Provides detailed coverage of the new high-performance data contract serializer for .NET
• Walks you through how to do secure, reliable, transacted messaging, and how to understand the options available
• Introduces you to federated, claims-based security, and shows you how to incorporate SAML and WS-Trust security token services into your architecture
• Provides step-by-step instructions for how to customize every aspect of WCF
• Shows you how to add your own behaviors, communication channels, message encoders, and transports
• Gives you options for implementing publish/subscribe solutions
• Walks you through how to do peer-to-peer communications with WCF

As evangelists at Microsoft for WCF, Craig McMurtry, Marc Mercuri, Nigel Watling, and Matt Winkler are uniquely positioned to write this book. They had access to the product as it was being built and to the development team itself. Their work with enterprises and outside software vendors has given them insight into how others see the software, how they want to apply it, and the challenges they face in doing so.

VBScript, WMI, and ADSI Unleashed: Using VBScript, WMI, and ADSI to Automate Windows Administration (Unleashed)

VBScript, WMI, and ADSI Unleashed: Using VBScript, WMI, and ADSI to Automate Windows Administration (Unleashed) (Paperback)
by Don Jones (Author)

If you’re a Windows administrator, scripting expertise can liberate you from boring, repetitive work–so you can take on the sophisticated, high-value projects you really want. Top scripting guru Don Jones has written the definitive administrator’s guide to getting results with Microsoft’s key scripting technologies: VBScript, WMI, and ADSI.

Jones draws on his unsurpassed experience training Windows administrators in conferences, classes, and from his enormously popular site, ScriptingAnswers.com.

You’ll learn how to use VBScript, WMI, and ADSI to gain administrative control over nearly every aspect of every recent Windows server or client, including Windows Server 2003, Vista, XP, 2000, and NT. As you gain experience, Jones introduces more advanced techniques, ranging from modular scripting and script encryption to integrating VBScript with HTML code.

Jones concludes with a full section of ready-to-run, real-world examples–from logon/logoff scripts to automated domain and network administration, from querying WMI to creating Active Directory groups. Every script is explained line-by-line, with challenging techniques described in even greater detail.

Detailed information on how to…

• Decide what you can script: a framework for getting started fast
• Understand how scripts are designed, assembled, and run
• Master VBScript from start to finish: functions, I/O, data manipulation, program flow, and much more
• Use scripting objects for tasks ranging from retrieving network information to mapping drives
• Utilize FileSystemObject to manipulate the Windows filesystem
• Write ADSI scripts to manipulate any directory service your company uses, from Active Directory to Novell NDS
• Modify domain information, users, groups, and policies
• Query WMI information–from basic to advanced
• Plan for errors, and test and debug your scripts
• Build your own “resource kit” of reusable script component

The Symbian OS Architecture Sourcebook: Design and Evolution of a Mobile Phone OS (Symbian Press)

The Symbian OS Architecture Sourcebook: Design and Evolution of a Mobile Phone OS (Symbian Press) (Paperback)
by B. Morris (Author)

The current Symbian Press list focuses very much on the small scale features of Symbian OS in a programming context. The Architecture Sourcebook is different.

It's not a how-to book, it's a 'what and why' book. And because it names names as it unwinds the design decisions which have shaped the OS, it is also a 'who' book. It will show where the OS came from, how it has evolved to be what it is, and provide a simple model for understanding what it is, how it is put together, and how to interface to it and work with it. It will also show why design decision were made, and will bring those decisions to life in the words of Symbian's key architects and developers, giving an insider feel to the book as it weaves the "inside story" around the architectural presentation.

The book will describe the OS architecture in terms of the Symbian system model. It will show how the model breaks down the system into parts, what role the parts play in the system, how the parts are architected, what motivates their design, and how the design has evolved through the different releases of the system.

Key system concepts will be described; design patterns will be explored and related to those from other operating systems. The unique features of Symbian OS will be highlighted and their motivation and evolution traced and described.

The book will include a substantial reference section itemising the OS and its toolkit at component level and providing a reference entry for each component.

5 mẹo tìm kiếm trên Google

Mặc dù công nghệ tìm kiếm của Google được coi là một cuộc cách mạng, tuy nhiên, bạn sẽ thấy công cụ này thậm chí còn làm được nhiều việc hơn, có ích hơn với một số câu lệnh "ẩn" cho phép người dùng tuỳ biến truy vấn của mình.

Google là công cụ tìm kiếm tốt nhất trên Internet, hầu như tất cả mọi người đều sử dụng Google để tìm kiếm website, văn bản, blog, video và thậm chí là cả những bài viết trên blog. Mặc dù công nghệ tìm kiếm của Google được coi là một cuộc cách mạng, tuy nhiên, bạn sẽ thấy công cụ này thậm chí còn làm được nhiều việc hơn, có ích hơn với một số câu lệnh "ẩn" cho phép người dùng tuỳ biến truy vấn của mình.

Những lệnh ẩn này sẽ đem lại thông tin chính xác cho người dùng chỉ trong vài giây, không có những đường link vô ích, không có kết quả spam.

Dưới đây là 5 lệnh có thể cải thiện tìm kiếm của bạn:

1. site

site là một cách hiệu quả nhất trong việc tìm kiếm cùng với một từ khoá nào đó trên các trang web mà các trang web này không có công cụ tìm kiếm riêng hoặc công cụ tìm kiếm của họ không đủ mạnh.

Giả sử như bạn muốn tìm kiếm siêu mẫu nóng bỏng của Brazil Gisele Bundchen trên trang web 24h.com.vn, bạn hãy gõ từ khoá sau:

site:www.24h.com.vn gisele bundchen

Sau đó ấn "Enter" và kết quả sẽ khiến bạn hài lòng. Bạn sẽ thấy tất cả các đường link đều từ trang web 24h.com.vn và chắc chắn sẽ có một đường link chứa nội dung mà bạn cần.

2. filetype

Google không chỉ đánh chỉ mục cho các website mà nó còn cung cấp khả năng truy cập tới các văn bản, file đa phương tiện chỉ bằng một cú nhấp chuột và một số định dạng khác. Có một cách tìm kiếm khá đơn giản những định dạng file bạn cần, đó là dùng câu lệnh "filetype".

Chẳng hạn như tìm kiếm file định dạng PDF liên quan đến winamp, bạn có thể gõ:

filetype:pdf winamp

3. Bộ chuyển đổi đơn vị

Một trong những khả năng thú vị và hữu ích nhất của Google đó chính là bộ chuyển đổi đơn vị, chẳng hạn như tiền tệ, chiều dài, khối lượng, năng lượng,...

Để đổi inch sang cm bạn hãy gõ:

1 inch in cm

Google sẽ trả lại kết quả chính xác cho bạn. Bạn có thể đổi tất cả mọi thứ, nhưng hãy nhớ là gõ đúng ký hiệu của đơn vị mà bạn muốn đổi.

4. Chiếc máy tính hữu ích

Google cũng có thể là một chiếc máy tính đắc lực.

Hãy thử gõ: 4+2+5-9*8/2 bạn sẽ có kết quả chính xác. Google hỗ trợ cả các phép toán lượng giác, số mũ và thậm chí là cả logarith.

5. Define

Tính năng cuối cùng được nhắc tới trong bài viết này là khả năng định nghĩa các từ tiếng Anh. Bạn có thể có định nghĩa của một từ tiếng Anh trực tiếp từ Google. Gõ "define" ở trước bất kỳ từ nào mà bạn muốn, sau đó ấn "Enter".

Chẳng hạn, nếu bạn muốn biết nghĩa của từ operator, gõ:

define: operator

Google sẽ tìm kiếm trên Internet và trả lại cho bạn những định nghĩa về từ này. Không có weblink, không văn bản, không kết quả spam, chỉ là định nghĩa về từ mà bạn cần.

Các lệnh Shell cơ bản trong Linux

Khi mở một shell, bạn cần đến tài khoản kích hoạt vào thư mục chủ (thông thường nằm trong /home/tên_người_dùng).

Chú ý rằng mỗi lệnh đều có nhiều tùy chọn riêng của mình. Để xem các tùy chọn cho một lệnh cụ thể, đơn giản bạn chỉ cần gõ "man <command>" (trong đó: man là từ khóa; command là tên lệnh). Một điểm quan trọng cần chú ý là trong các hệ điều hành Linux, câu lệnh có phân biệt chữ hoa, chữ thường. “A” sẽ được hệ điều hành hiểu là khác so với “a”.

Để vào hệ thống file, dùng:

- pwd: đưa ra ngoài màn hình thư mục đang hoạt động (ví dụ: /etc/ssh).

- cd: thay đổi thư mục (ví dụ: cd .. – ra một cấp thư mục hiện tại; cd vidu – vào thư mục /vidu).

- ls: đưa ra danh sách nội dung thư mục.

- mkdir: tạo thư mục mới (mkdir tên_thumuc).

- touch: tạo file mới (touch ten_file).

- rmdir: bỏ một thư mục (rmdir ten_thumuc).

- cp: copy file hoặc thư mục (cp file_nguồn file_đích).

- mv: di chuyển file hoặc thư mục; cũng được dùng để đặt lại tên file hoặc thư mục (mv vị_trí_cũ vị_trí_mới hoặc mv tên_cũ tên_mới).

- rm: loại bỏ file (rm tên_file).

Để tìm kiếm file, bạn có thể dùng:

- find <tiêu chuẩn tìm kiếm>: dùng cho các tên file.

- grep < tiêu chuẩn tìm kiếm>: để tìm nội dung trong file.

Để xem một file, bạn có thể dùng:

- more <tên file>: hiển thị file theo từng trang.

- cat < tên file>: hiển thị tất cả file.

- head < tên file>: hiển thị các dòng đầu tiên.

- tail < tên file>: hiển thị các dòng cuối cùng (có thể hữu ích trong những trường hợp như khi bạn muốn xem thông tin cuối cùng của một file hệ thống).

Để chính sửa file, bạn phải sử dụng trình soạn thảo tích hợp sẵn trên dòng lệnh. Thông thường, đây là vi và được dùng với cú pháp: vi <tên file>.

Để giải nén một lưu trữ (thông thường có đuôi tar.gz), bạn phải dùng lệnh tar với cú pháp tar -xvf <tên_file>.

Để in một file, dùng lệnh lpr <tên_file>. Chú ý là bạn phải có một số daemon hoạt động để quản lý máy in. Thông thường đây là các cup (chủ yếu là UNIX Printing System) có thể sử dụng cho tất cả các phân phối chính.

Để loại bỏ file khỏi hàng đợi ở máy in (bạn có thể lên danh sách hàng đợi bằng lệnh lpq), sử dụng câu lệnh lprm <tên_file>.

Để lắp hoặc gỡ bỏ thiết bị (thêm vào hệ thống file với vai trò như một phương tiện được phép sử dụng), dùng:

- mount /mnt/floppy: lắp thêm ổ mềm.

- umount /mnt/floppy: gỡ bỏ ổ mềm.

- mount /mnt/cdrom: lắp ổ CD-ROM.

- mount /mnt/cdrom: gỡ ổ DC-ROM.

Các thiết bị này thường được cài và cho phép sử dụng một cách tự động. Nhưng có thể một ngày đẹp trời nào đó bạn lại phải tự mình thực hiện công việc này khi có lỗi xảy ra. Đừng lo lắng!

Để tạo một phân vùng

Đầu tiên, tạo một thư mục trong /mnt (mkdir /mnt/ổ_đĩa_mới). Sau đó sử dụng lệnh mount (mount /dev/source /mnt/ ổ_đĩa_mới), trong đó /dev/source là thiết bị (tức phân vùng) bạn muốn lắp thêm vào hệ thống file.

Nếu muốn kết nối tới một host từ xa, sử dụng lệnh ssh. Cú pháp là ssh <tên_host>.

Quản lý hệ thống:

- ps: hiển thị các chương trình hiện thời đang chạy (rất hữu ích: ps là cái nhìn toàn bộ về tất cả các chương trình).

Trong danh sách đưa ra khi thực hiện lệnh ps, bạn sẽ thấy có số PID (Process identification - nhân dạng tiến trình).

Con số này sẽ được hỏi đến khi muốn ngừng một dịch vụ hay ứng dụng, dùng lệnh kill <PID>.

- top: hoạt động khá giống như Task Manager trong Windows. Nó đưa ra thông tin về tất cả tài nguyên hệ thống, các tiến trình đang chạy, tốc độ load trung bình… Lệnh top -d <delay> thiết lập khoảng thời gian làm tươi lại hệ thống. Bạn có thể đặt bất kỳ giá trị nào, từ .1 (tức 10 mili giây) tới 100 (tức 100 giây) hoặc thậm chí lớn hơn.

- uptime: thể hiện thời gian của hệ thống và tốc độ load trung bình trong khoảng thời gian đó, trước đây là 5 phút và 15 phút.

Thông thường tốc độ load trung bình được tính toán theo phần trăm tài nguyên hệ thống (vi xử lý, RAM, ổ cứng vào/ra, tốc độ load mạng) được dùng tại một thời điểm. Nếu tốc độ được tính toán là 0.37, tức có 37% tài nguyên được sử dụng. Giá trị lớn hơn như 2.35 nghĩa là hệ thống phải đợi một số dữ liệu, khi đó nó sẽ tính toán nhanh hơn 235% mà không gặp phải vấn đề gì. Nhưng giữa các phân phối có thể khác nhau một chút.

- free: hiển thị thông tin trên bộ nhớ hệ thống.

- ifconfig <tên_giao_diện>: để xem thông tin chi tiết về các giao diện mạng; thông thường giao diện mạng ethernet có tên là eth(). Bạn có thể cài đặt các thiết lập mạng như địa chỉ IP hoặc bằng cách dùng lệnh này (xem man ifconfig). Nếu có điều gì đó chưa chính xác, bạn có thể stop hoặc start (tức ngừng hoặc khởi_động) giao diện bằng cách dùng lệnh ifconfig <tên_giao_diện> up/down.

- passwd: cho phép bạn thay đổi mật khẩu (passwd người_dùng_sở_hữu_mật_khẩu hoặc tên người dùng khác nếu bạn đăng nhập hệ thống với vai trò root).

- useradd: cho phép bạn thêm người dùng mới (xem man useradd).

Dù ở phân phối nào, bạn cũng có thể dùng phím TAB để tự động hoàn chỉnh một lệnh hoặc tên file. Điều này rất hữu ích khi bạn quen với các lệnh. Bạn cũng có thể sử dụng các phím lên, xuống để cuộn xem các lệnh đã nhập. Bạn có thể dùng lệnh đa dòng trên một dòng. Ví dụ như, nếu muốn tạo ba thư mục chỉ trên một dòng, cú pháp có thể là: mkdir thư_mục_1 ; mkdir thư_mục_2 ; mkdir thư_mục_3.

Một điều thú vị khác nữa là các lệnh dạng pipe. Bạn có thể xuất một lệnh thông qua lệnh khác. Ví dụ: man mkdir | tail sẽ đưa ra thông tin các dòng cuối cùng trong trang xem "thủ công" của lệnh mkdir.

Nếu lúc nào đó được yêu cầu phải đăng nhập với tài khoản gốc (tức "siêu" admin của hệ thống), bạn có thể đăng nhập tạm thời bằng cách dùng lệnh su. Tham số -1 (su-1) dùng để thay đổi thư mục chủ và cho các lệnh đã hoặc đang dùng. Chú ý là bạn cũng sẽ được nhắc một mật khẩu.

Để thoát hay đóng shell, gõ exit hoặc logout.

Một số bản Linux dễ sử dụng

Linux có rất nhiều phiên bản khác nhau, mỗi bản phù hợp cho những đối tượng người dùng khác nhau, với trình độ và nhu cầu khác nhau. Xin giới thiệu 4 bản Linux có tiếng là dễ sử dụng và được thiết kế tốt, phù hợp với người dùng thông thường.

Ubuntu là phiên bản phổ biến nhất hiện nay. Tệp cài đặt có dung lượng 700MB có thể tải dễ dàng qua kết nối ADSL (www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download) và "nhét" vừa vào một đĩa CD. Việc cài đặt chỉ mất khoảng 30 phút và rất đơn giản. Giao diện Ubuntu khá đẹp mắt, các menu được tổ chức hợp lý. Các phần mềm quan trọng được tích hợp bao gồm bộ ứng dụng văn phòng OpenOffice, trình duyệt web Firefox, trình quản lý và giúp tải ảnh lên mạng F-Spot. Đáng chú ý là theo mặc định Ubuntu không thể chơi một số định dạng thương mại của tệp đa phương tiện do không được phép tích hợp hỗ trợ, do đó nếu muốn chơi các tệp này bạn phải cài thêm phần mềm khác.

Kubuntu (www.kubuntu.org/download.php) có thể được coi là "anh em" của Ubuntu, bởi chúng có cùng mã nguồn. Điểm khác biệt là Ubuntu sử dụng giao diện Gnome, còn Kubuntu sử dụng giao diện KDE. Mặc dù có nhiều điểm chung, nhưng giao diện và gói phần mềm đi kèm của Kubuntu rất khác biệt so với Ubuntu, do đó phục vụ những nhu cầu rất khác. Do sử dụng KDE, Kubuntu đi kèm phần lớn các ứng dụng KDE, đáng chú ý nhất là trình duyệt web Konqueror thay cho Firefox phổ biến. Kmail, Kopete, Konversation, Kaffeine và Amarok là các ứng dụng mặc định cho duyệt email, chat, IRC, đa phương tiện và chơi nhạc.

PCLinuxOS (www.pclinuxos.com) dựa trên Mandrake Linux, nhưng được cải tiến rất nhiều nhằm phù hợp với người mới dùng Linux, hỗ trợ các plugin cho trình duyệt, các codec cho đa phương tiện. PCLinuxOS cho phép cấu hình hệ thống rất hiệu quả và có kho phần mềm rất phong phú. Hạn chế lớn nhất là PCLinuxOS thiếu lộ trình phát hành rõ ràng.

Với những người có kinh nghiệm hơn chút ít, openSUSE (http://download.opensuse.org) có thể là một lựa chọn tốt. Cũng có giao diện được chăm chút, nhưng openSUSE còn được tích hợp những công cụ cấu hình và quản lý khá kỹ lưỡng, có kho phần mềm rất lớn, tài liệu chi tiết, hỗ trợ nhiều ngôn ngữ. Tuy nhiên, openSUSE có nhược điểm là bộ cài đặt rất lớn (5 đĩa CD hoặc 1 đĩa DVD - tải qua mạng rất mất thời gian); các thiết lập và các công cụ đồ hoạ quá nặng nề, có thể khiến máy chạy chậm, nhất là khi khởi động và mở các ứng dụng.

Ubuntu 7.10 có gì mới?

Ubuntu 7.10, phiên bản kế tiếp của Ubuntu Linux với tên mã Gutsy Gibbon đã ra mắt bản thử nghiệm đầu tiên. Chương trình được bổ sung nhiều tính tăng mới.

Ubuntu được cho là dễ dùng, giao diện thân thiện và nhiều tính năng hơn cả người "anh em họ" Fedora Core. Cộng đồng mã nguồn mở Việt Nam hiện nay cũng khá chuộng Ubuntu.

Những thành phần mới được cải tiến, nâng cấp và bổ sung trong Ubuntu 7.10:

Desktop: Ubuntu 7.10 sẽ phát hành cùng phiên bản 2.20 mới nhất của GNOME desktop. Song song đó, Kubuntu cũng sẽ phát hành cùng KDE desktop 3.5.7 hoặc người dùng có thể chọn lựa để cài đặt KDE 4.0 RC2.
Ubuntu 7.10 cũng là phân hệ đầu tiên bao hàm cả 2 dự án kết hợp Beryl và Compiz, là cửa sổ quản lý mặc định trên những hệ thống sẽ hỗ trợ nó.

Phần cứng: Như thường lệ, Linux kernel 2.6.22 sẽ được chọn cập nhật và bổ sung các driver. Ngoài ra, Ubuntu 7.10 sẽ bao gồm những phần đang được mong đợi như Xorg v7.3 mang lại những tính năng như:

• Hỗ trợ phần cứng đồ họa tốt hơn
• Cắm nóng cho monitor và các thiết bị nhập (input)
• Cấu hình dễ dàng hơn
• Hỗ trợ "gắn nóng" các driver (không hỗ trợ với xorg.conf)

Giao diện Ubuntu 7.10 bản thử nghiệm.

Mobile: Ubuntu 7.10 sẽ là phiên bản đầu tiên hỗ trợ các thiết bị di động như PDA, ĐTDĐ và các thiết bị tương tự thông qua "Mobile and Embeded edition".

Máy chủ (Server): Các nhà phát triển Ubuntu tuyên bố rằng những quản trị viên máy chủ sẽ bị thu hút bởi phiên bản Ubuntu 7.10 Server Edition. AppArmor security framework của Novel cũng sẽ được tích hợp nếu quản trị viên cần sử dụng.

Độ ổn định và mức độ xử lý: Được bảo đảm sẽ ổn định và mạnh mẽ hơn phiên bản trước. Hệ thống hoạt động tốt hơn khi tập tin hệ thống đầy đủ, cho phép người dùng có thể tiếp tục công việc mà không bị gián đoạn. Tiến trình khởi động được rút ngắn.

Thời gian phát hành các phiên bản thử nghiệm kéo dài từ đây cho đến 18-10 sẽ ra mắt phiên bản 7.10 chính thức. Hiện tại, người dùng có thể tải về Ubuntu 7.10 Tribe 1 tại đây.

Từng bước cài đặt Fedora 7

Fedora 7 (tên mã Moonshine) được phát hành vào 31-5 vừa qua không chỉ hỗ trợ cài đặt LiveCD trên các máy i686 và x86_64 mà còn bao gồm cả KDE LiveCD.

Để thực hiện cài đặt Fedora 7, trước tiên, bạn cần phải dọn dẹp sạch sẽ phân vùng (partition) cài đặt. Có nghĩa là không có hệ điều hành nào trên cùng phân vùng đó, kể cả Windows và tối thiểu dung lượng phân vùng cài đặt Fedora 7 là 10GB.

Ví dụ: tôi sử dụng KDE LiveCD, ghi nó vào DVD trắng rồi cho DVD vào ổ đĩa trên máy tính để boot từ nó. Khi boot, bạn sẽ bắt gặp giao diện tùy chọn ban đầu của Fedora 7, chọn “Run from Image” , Enter rồi chờ phần kế tiếp.

Sau khoảng 30 giây, tùy thuộc vào cấu hình hệ thống của bạn mạnh hay yếu, bạn sẽ thấy giao diện KDE và tiếp theo đó là giao diện desktop Fedora với 3 biểu tượng: “Fedora 7 KDE LiveCD”, “Install to Hard Drive”, “Trash”. Ta chọn “Install to Hard Drive” để cài đặt. Phần giao diện đồ họa người dùng GUI (Graphic User Interface) xuất hiện:

Nhấn Next ở phần Fedora Installer, rồi đến phần chọn ngôn ngữ bàn phím. Ta chọn U.S. English rồi nhấn Next để tiếp tục. Bạn sẽ thấy một cửa sổ cảnh báo xuất hiện. Đừng lo lắng! Nội dung phần cảnh báo là tất cả những dữ liệu trên phân vùng ổ cứng cài đặt sẽ bị xóa sạch. Nhấn “Yes” nếu bạn muốn xóa sạch dữ liệu và tiến hành đến bước kế tiếp.

Đến bước này, bạn cần lưu ý một chút ở điểm sau: Nếu bạn có 1 ổ cứng trống (hay phân vùng cài đặt trống như đã nói ở trên) bạn chỉ cần chọn “Remove Linux partitions on selected drives and create default layout” rồi nhấn Next để tiếp tục.

Trường hợp còn lại, nếu bạn có dữ liệu trên ổ cứng rồi và muốn cài đặt Fedora 7 trên vùng dữ liệu trống còn lại thì chọn “Use free space on the selected drives and create default layout”. Lưu ý là dung lượng trống tối thiểu là 10GB.

Nhấn Next, ta sẽ nhận một tin nhắn cảnh báo. Nhấn “Yes” để tiếp tục tiến hành bước cấu hình mạnh kế tiếp.

DHCP (cấp phát IP động) thì nhấn Next.

Nếu bạn có một mạng DHCP (IP động) thì bạn nhấn Next, còn nếu có địa chỉ IP tĩnh thì thực hiện theo các bước sau để cấu hình:

• Nhấn lên nút “Edit”. Cửa sổ mới sẽ xuất hiện. Nếu bạn có địa chỉ IP thuộc IPv4, đánh dấu vào phần “Enable IPv4 Support” và tương tự cho IPv6. Tuy nhiên, nếu không dùng IPv6 thì bạn phải bỏ chọn “Enable IPv6 Support”.

• Đánh dấu chọn vào “Manual Configuration” và điền địa chỉ IP cũng như Netmask vào. Nếu dùng IPv6 thì cũng làm tương tự.

• Nhấn OK để hoàn tất. Điền tiếp máy chủ Gateway và Primary/Secondary DNS.

• Tùy chọn sau cùng là bạn có thể cài đặt hostname cho hệ thống. Ví dụ: new4hack.com

Sau khi đã cấu hình mạng hoàn tất, nhấn “Next” để tiến hành chọn địa điểm (quốc gia/thành phố). Ở phần này, ta cũng chọn tiếp múi giờ (timezone), sau đó nhấn “Next” và đặt mật khẩu cho tài khoản quản trị viên cao cấp nhất (Root System Administrator). Lưu ý giữ mật khẩu cẩn thận.

Nhấn nút “Next” 2 lần để tiến trình cài đặt sẽ tự động. Công việc của bạn giờ là ngồi nhâm nhi 1 tách café và xem cách thức mà phân vùng được định dạng cũng như dữ liệu trong tập tin ánh xạ được chép vào ổ cứng. Việc cài đặt thường sẽ mất khoảng 10 phút.

Khi cài đặt hoàn tất, bạn sẽ thấy giao diện có dòng chữ “Congratulations, the installation is complete”. Nhấn vào nút “Close” để reboot lại hệ thống. Bạn nhớ là đưa DVD (CD) cài đặt ra khỏi ổ và thiết lập khởi động lại trong CMOS.

Sau khi khởi động xong, chào mừng bạn đến với phiên bản mới nhất của Fedora.

Phần cấu hình Fedora 7 thì các bạn có thể tham khảo thêm cuốn "Linux Bible 2007" hoặc "Red Hat Fedora Core 6 Unleashed". Tuy nhiên, sau đây là phần cấu hình chung cơ bản sau khi cài đặt Fedora 7:

• Chấp nhận bản quyền. Fedora 7 là miễn phí nên bạn cứ yên tâm mà nhấn “Forward”.
• Cấu hình tường lửa (firewall). Mặc định, SSH được chọn. Nếu không sử dụng bạn có thể bỏ chọn nó.
• Để SELinux mặc định là “Enforcing” và nhấn Forward
• Kiểm tra lại thời gian, ngày giờ đã được cài đặt chính xác
• Phần gởi thông tin phần cứng cho nhóm phát triển Fedora Project là điều nên làm để nhóm này có thể thẩm định loại phần cứng và nền tảng phổ biến để có thể cải thiện khả năng hỗ trợ của các phiên bản Fedora kế tiếp.
• Cuối cùng là tạo tài khoản người dùng. Đơn giản như tạo tài khoản trong Windows, cung cấp: Username (dùng để đăng nhập), Full name (tên của người dùng), Password & confirm password (mật khẩu tài khoản).

Tất cả thao tác đã hoàn tất. Bạn có thể tận hưởng những tính năng mới mẻ của Fedora 7 mang lại cùng với giao diện đồ họa tuyệt vời. Xin cám ơn Red Hat và nhóm phát triển Fedora Project!
