Speedlinks – 18 September 2008

Below are the links which caught my eye this week, I hope that some of them will be useful and interesting for you…

  1. Canonical Store is to sell multimedia codecs for Ubuntu. Codecs are developed by Fluendo and Cyberlink. It is still possible to do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and get that staff installed…
  2. In A comparative look at compact sysadmin distributions article Cory Buford shares the observations he got during review of several portable (not more 210 Mb) Linux distros which may be helpful to handle “minor catastrophes”. BTW I prefer RIPLinuX :)
  3. T-Mobile, Google and HTC announce that first phone based on Android platform will be out next week (23th of September 2008).
  4. Google is going to launch its own “computer navy” (sea floating data centres). Now jokes – rumors.
  5. Codeweavers company has adapted Google Chrome browser for Linux and Mac platform.
  6. Mozilla asks to display firefox EULA in Ubuntu 8.10. Some people are really disturbed about that.
  7. XFCE 4.6 first alpha is out for public testing.

And we just launched Linux and Open Source News aggregator at Linux Screw, so you are welcome to set it your homepage ;)

Comparing Bash with… Windows command line shell…

You may already be known that Microsoft claims that Windows PowerShell (comes with its Vista by default) script language helps IT professionals achieve greater control and productivity and to accelerate the automation during system administration process. As a non-Windows but *nix systems administrator/engineer I was always interested if it is possible to access those functions and objects we can easily get in Bash (of course we are talking about each operation system’s specific procedures and objects).

And these days I came across a good article “Shell Games” (by Marcus Nasarek) telling about above mentioned matters…

Both Bash and the Windows Vista PowerShell include commands for navigating directories, managing files, and launching other programs. System administration is an important duty for the shell, and Bash and PowerShell are equipped to help manage systems from the command prompt. Whereas Bash typically relies on a combination of newer tools and classic Unix utilities, the PowerShell has its own set of command-line programs. Windows refers to PowerShell commands as cmdlets. The PowerShell cmdlet called Get-Process is a counterpart to ps, and the cmdlet Get-Content corresponds to less. PowerShell differs significantly from previous Windows command shells. In this article, I look at how Windows Vista PowerShell compares with Bash. Read more >>
