The Linux Mint desktop continues to lead the rest
You can keep your Windows 10 and macOS High Sierra. For me, Linux Mint 19 is not only the best Linux desktop, it's the best desktop. Period. End of statement.Why? Because its traditional windows, icons, menus, and pointers (WIMP) interface is a true pleasure to use. It's even more fun now, because with Mint 19 and its default Cinnamon 3.8 desktop it's faster and snapper than ever. The Cinnamon desktop, which uses the GTK 3.22 toolkit, also has a smoother look than previous versions. Linux, as ever, out of the box is more secure than macOS or Windows even after you strap on all the anti-virus software. On my Mac and Windows boxes, security is an almost daily job of patches and fixes. On my Mint desktops? I don't even worry about it and I have never had a single security problem. I wish I could say the same about the competing operating systems.Installing software on Mint is mindlessly simple. Yes, I know you've heard all the stories about how you must compile software to install Linux … [Read more...] about The Linux Mint desktop continues to lead the rest
5 Best practices for protecting SAP in Linux environments
Even brief periods of downtime for SAP applications can have devastating consequences for business operations, including production and supply chain interruption, delivery delays, lost sales, data loss, payroll delays, customer service degradation, contractual liabilities and regulatory fines. Unfortunately, SAP offers little or no native support for the server clustering, data replication and failover recovery functions needed for assuring high availability and data protection. It is equally unfortunate that most IT organizations also lack the staffing needed to even consider using open source high availability software in a Linux environment. Fortunately, the growing popularity of SAP and Linux have given rise to a variety of viable alternatives for keeping SAP applications highly available and operating properly through the usual hardware and software failures, administrator errors, routine maintenance, and even site-wide disasters. The challenge is finding which one … [Read more...] about 5 Best practices for protecting SAP in Linux environments
How to access files on network devices using SMBv1 on Windows 10
Server Message Block (SMB) is a networking file share protocol included in Windows 10 that provides the ability to read and write files and perform other service requests to network devices. Usually, you'll be using SMB to connect to devices that don't run Windows, such as a router with file sharing capabilities, Network-Attached Storage (NAS), or other computers running Linux. Although there have been three major releases of the protocol, there is a chance that you may still have devices running the original version, such as SMB version 1 (v1) which is old and insecure, and Windows 10 no longer installs it by default starting with the Fall Creators Update and April 2018 Update. As a result, you'll get error messages like "You can't connect to the file share because it's not secure;" "The specified network name is no longer available;" and "Unspecified error 0x80004005" when trying to access your files. However, if you have a networking device that you can no longer access because of … [Read more...] about How to access files on network devices using SMBv1 on Windows 10
