No to Ubuntoo Yes To Knoppix
In my prevoius post Ubuntu or Knopix I had mentiond 2 live Linux CDs. One is Ubuntu and second is Knoppix. I tried both and found some thing very interesting. Ubuntu can be ordered freely from its website and they will ship you n number of live and install CDs of 32 bit and 64 bit architecture.
Knoppix is not like that. You need to Purchase a CD or download it from some mirror. I downloaded. Burned the CD and used it. My Opionion.
Ubuntu is good. B’coz
- Its free.
- Free means they ship the CD for free. Knoppix is not shipped freely.
- Free means you copy the CD and distribute it
- You get Live and Install CDs. No install CD for Knoppix but the Knoppix forum can help you with install.
- You can have 32 bit and 64 bit versions. I was not able to loacte 64 bit version of Knoppix.
- It has got a GUI. The GUI is Gnome based.
- Like all other Live Linus CDs it will detect your hardware.
Knoppix is BEST. B’coz
- Its free.
- Free means you copy the CD and distribute it
- It has got a GUI. The GUI is KDE based.
- Like all other Live Linus CDs it will detect and install nearly all of your hardware stuff. It easily found nearly every thing on one of old (Junked) Dell Latitude Laptop. The laptop is more than 6 years old. Ubuntu failed this test.
- It will automount your Hard drive. Reboot machine and start palying MP3s.
- Got loads of apps in just one CD. 900 Preinstalled and more than 2000 more apps. Just on 700MB. Amazing.
If you need Knoppix just give me a blank CD and I will be more than Happy to burn a copy for you.
I will go by Knoppix. Knoppix have more intutive GUI. More apps. You can show people what Linux is by just a simple reboot. I have been using Knoppix as a rescue diskette. Just few days back a MS Windows 98 Machine crashed. The machine did not reboot. The guy wanted a fresh system. By chance I was there and got to show them what is Linux.

Movie Review: Dus
Before you read more about my opinion, I will give this movie 3.5/5 rating means you should watch this movie.
Why?
Read my opinion.
The movie is based on *Stallone’s Law.
- Arabic tunes. “Deedar de” is good hummable song. But like all other come and go things it will also pass. I watched the movie just for this song.
- Can be seen stunts. I read this in newspaper and was thinking why don’t people leave their brain at home when they watch Hindi movies. In fact when they watch any Bollywood movie. Read Stallone’s Law.
- The film begins with our own desi copy of FBI Team. Every one is in “Black Dress”
. Smart. Not the one you see on Indian police system. Infact I never saw so beautiful cop
, Shilpa Shetty. Yes Sushmita Sen looks smart and good in Samay, but Shilpa is so ###y. - Our team has our own Officer Sanju, Officer AB Baby and Zayed Khan with ###y Shilpa. Hey Diya is also in the movie and I saw SenSation and Suniel/Sunil/Suneel Shetty too.
- The movie begins with AB Baby and Mr. Khan shaking their legs and then the team disables a bomb. I never saw a real bomb disposal squad working without protection gear. Stallone’s Law.
- Then sudden twist in the movie
, some terrorist groups have planned to do some thing dangerous
. And our heroes + heroine/lead actress are the only who can stop them. Obviously that’s the reason film was produced. - Kahani me ek aur twist. It has been decide by Indian Govt. that our team should be sacked or put on other jobs and they have just 7-8 days left to “Unearth the plan” and save innocent “mango” people and themselves. Or else they will loose their suits and will have to wear the “Khaki Uniform”. Team is under pressure.
- Now if they need to stop that terrorist
, ATANKWADI, they must go to Canada. (Why are all bad people residing in good scenic locations?) - So no one else than our own BRAND NEW HERO AB Baby and Mr. Zayed Khan are sent to Canada.. (Because the movie financier had the money…)
- BTW did I mention you Eisha Deol is also in the movie
. - And when AB Baby & Z Khan are in Canada they encounter Gulshan G and Suniel/Sunil/Suneel Shetty and Miss SenSation. And an obvious love story plot evolves.
Now this movie reminds me of Stallone’s Law at every moment. AB Baby and Z Khan are trapped in a car which will explode if they applied BRAKES.
DEADLY. HORRIBLE. Our Heroes jump out of car and car explodes. Bravo our heroes
. But who applied the brakes???
*Stallone’s Law states that, “One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them all than 20 men firing at once.”
Love Marriage Vs. Arranged Marriage
| Love Marriage | Arranged Marriage |
| Resembles procedural programming language. We have some set functions like flirting, going to movies together, making long conversations on phone and then try to fit all functions to the candidate we like. | Similar to object oriented programming approach. We first fix the candidate and then try to implement functions on her. The functions are added to supplement the main program. The functions can be added or deleted. |
| It is a throwaway type of prototype as client requirements rises with time thus it is a dynamic system and difficult to maintain. | Requirements are well defined so use of waterfall model is possible |
| Family system hangs because hardware (called parents) is not responding. | Compatible with hardware (Parents). |
| You are the project leader so u are responsible for implementation and execution of PROJECT- married life. | You are a team member under project leader (parents) so they are responsible for successful execution of project Married life. |
| Client expectations include exciting feature as spouse cooking food, washing clothes etc. | All these features are covered in the SRS as required features. |
| Acceptance test possible you can try before you Buy. | Product is sold on an as is where is basis. Product once sold will not be taken back! |
| Love Marriage is like Windows, beautiful n seductive…. Yet one never knows when it will crash…. | Arranged Marriage is like Unix… boring n colorless… still extremely reliable n robust. |
