REMOTE DESKTOP

MS Windows merupakan OS yang paling banyak digunakan para pengguna komputer di dunia ini. Lisensi dari OS ini adalah 1 lisensi untuk 1 komputer, nah sekarang bagaimana menggunakan 1 lisensi untuk banyak komputer terutama untuk warnet, perkantoran, perusahaan maupun pendidikan.

Salah satu caranya adalah dengan OS Ubuntu Linux, yaitu dengan menggunakan aplikasi Terminal Server Client yang bisa me-remote desktop MS Windows.

Intinya adalah merubah MS Windows Xp-SP2 menjadi sebuah Terminal Server sehingga bisa diakses rame-rame

Syarat utama untuk akses rame-rame adalah :
1. Komputer yang terpasang MS Windows XP-SP2 (original lisens) + LAN card dan sudah siap konek network + patch untuk akses rame-rame.
2. Komputer dengan OS Ubuntu 9.10 atau dibawahnya( jumlahnya bebas …he..he..)
3. Sitem jaringan

A. Setting Windows

IP MS Windows misalnya disetting : 192.168.1.10

Download 2 patch berikut agar “kunci” Windows Xp yg hanya membolehkan akses 1 user pada waktu bersamaan bisa dibuka :

Patch 1 : http://blogpmenier.dynalias.net/docext/xp/Termiserv_XPSP2_i386_1.0.exe atau

http://sala.pri.ee/terminal-server-patch/ atau http://www.geocities.com/pinuxer/Termiserv_XPSP2_i386_1.0.zip

Patch 2 : http://www.geocities.com/pinuxer/Unlimited_users_XP_SP2_thin_client.zip (link ini dah nggak bisa lagi)

tapi jangan khawatir lu bisa donlot di: http://www.kuntosa.890m.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_details&gid=16&Itemid=37

How To Disable Pop Up Update Manager Ubuntu

One of the change in the Ubuntu 9.04 is update manager. It pop’s up every time if updates are available. Though it is good, some time it is annoying when you do some important work. This update manager pop up window can be disabled easily. Type sudo gconf-editor in the terminal and hit enter. In the new window navigate to apps —>> update-notifier. Now on the right hand side disable the auto_launch option by clicking on the tick mark. Remember that it will only disable pop up window not the update manager so if you want to update your system then go to System —>> Administration —>> update Manager and install updates.

Ubuntu 8.10 – Intrepid Ibex

Ubuntu 8.10 – Intrepid Ibex

Im very much looking forward to the release of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and with a day to go until the release (at time of writing this) Ill certainly be spending much of this weekend going through the fixes, improvements.

Ive made no secret of the fact that my prefered distro is Ubuntu.  The reason for this is twofold, firstly because it is accessable for the new user and offers the features that make Linux the platform of choice over Windows for the more experienced users.

Of course there are other distro’s available, but my second reason for keeping Ubuntu as my main distro, is that its the one I recommend the most when installing Linux for the first time on someones machine.  I try to keep on top of all Ubuntu features (and most of my reading has been in relation to Ubuntu) so its the one I feel most “at home” with.  I currently have Hardy Heron installed (8.04) of which I have had no problems with, that could not be sorted out within a few minutes.

That being said, I will recommend NimbleX 2008 to the user who has a machine short on specs,  and I expect to be using that particular distro alot more.

Remember to look out for me on the Boycott Novell chat room #boycottnovel on: irc.freenode.org.

Oh, and make sure your one of the first to take a look at the Intrepid Ibex on its official first day of release!
