email other apps october 03 2007 background digium is the company behind asterisk the popular open source pbx digium was founded in 1999 by mark spencer the creator of asterisk since then asterisk has been deployed around the world on millions on computers despite that fact asterisk still does not have a large market share of the pbx market why is this in the past there were many reasons for this no brand recognition of asterisk no proven track record of successful implementations commercial support was needed no linux expertise on staff afraid to use open source software these concerns were once valid but today most of them have been addressed by digium they made asterisk easy to use digium has been working hard to overcome the historically steep learning curve associated with implementing asterisk they have accomplished this with two major improvements first digium created an open source software appliance called asterisknow that bundled asterisk inside a pre configured

pinterest email other apps july 13 2007 introduction if ubuntu wants to be taken seriously in the workplace it needs a secure remote desktop many people have a need to connect to their work computer from home using remote desktop technology currently the ubuntu remote desktop is a front end for vnc which allows you to remotely manage your desktop it works well and a nice feature was recently added that alerts you when someone is remotely controlling your desktop the problem the problem is that vnc provides very little security it does encrypt the password that you use to connect with but all other traffic is not encrypted this means that if someone is intercepting your traffic it will be possible for them to watch what you are doing including typing passwords another problem is that vnc has a maximum password length of 8 characters and it does not require a username this means that an attacker only has to guess 1 to 8 characters correctly in order to connect to your machine if you use the ubuntu re 22 comments read more internet identity truth or dare get link facebook x pinterest email other apps may 10 2007 should i use my real identity when communicating on the internet

march 02 2007 introduction a firewall is a necessary piece of software on most operating systems this is not true for ubuntu because the default install doesn t include any services that accept connections from the network you can confirm this by running this command sudo netstat plut services that accept connections from the network will include an asterisk symbol or an ip address in the field labeled local address services that only accept connections from the local system will include the word localhost if you later decide to install a new service such as ssh or remote desktop vnc you will probably want to control who can access these services by installing a software firewall searching in add remove applications for firewall does not return any results searching in synaptic package manager for firewall will provide you with 116 results obviously these are not the best ways to find the right application firestarter firewall b post a comment read more wpa wireless just

next release is going to rock in addition to many other improvements such as automatically installing multimedia codecs ubuntu 7 04 will now allow you to painlessly connect to secure wireless networks i have been waiting a long time for linux to automatically connect to wpa secured wireless networks wpa is the minimum security for a modern wireless network to be considered secure even wpa can still be hacked if you use a small pre shared key in past versions of ubuntu you had to manually install software xsupplicant and configure it if you wanted to connect to a wpa network now you can connect

instead when someone asks me if they can run windows application x on linux the first thing i tell them is to look for an open source alternative for most windows applications there will be a high quality open source alternative that can meet their needs the biggest hurdle for non linux people is simply knowing that these alternative exist and how to find them the best place i have found to search for these applications is at www osalt com on that site you can enter the name of the windows application and it will list the open source alternatives that provide similar functionality be sure to check it out 2 buy a commercial product that was designed for linux if you cannot find an open source alternative and you have not already purchased a windows application then you should

explorer on linux but there are times when you need it to get your work done this is a sad state of affairs so remember to encourage your software vendors to always support open standards so that we can use the web browser of our choosing fortunately someone has made it very easy to run ie on linux the project is called ies 4 linux which will run ie using wine if you read the ie license from microsoft you will learn that you should own a copy of windows if you want to install ie there is no way for ies4linux to know if you have a license so it simply uses the honor system to install
