Server - Cloud - Kyln

This product is one you need to really do your home work on if you intend to use it on an older Computer system running Windows XP...

There is no (Beginner-Novice-Expert) when it comes to patching this software. First before you deiced to uses this product be sure your computer hardware can handle the demands it requires.

Here are my findings,that you need to know before you make any attempt to launch any of these Linux products. 

 You will need a processor capable of at least 1.2 GHz or Greater!

 Memory 2 GIGs or more will be needed to push this aghasting platform forward!

!WARNING!

Yes this is also a HUG deal

To operate Linux OS Software you will need a video card that can handle the optical side of this operating system! 

So best recommendation is to continue to run your Windows Operating system unless you have the time to spend learning a new trade. If your a hard core Linux person or you just want some much needed information as I did on how to install a patch (Update) so your system will function, I have found a great 2 part video to get you headed in the right direction!  

So with this being said! Here is the link on how to successfully install a patch into the Linux Operating systems...VIDEO 1

Flash In The Pan

I just got off the phone at 9:30AM PST this morning with Microsoft main headquarters in Washington D.C about a Fox news radio press release that #windows 7 will no longer have support or will be supported. We know for a FACT that Windows XP is over today because Microsoft has made this declaration a fact.

Today if you are a Windows XP owner they trying to get a handle on what version of Windows you will upgrade to next.They offer only three(3) Windows 7, Windows 8.0 or Windows 8.1RT each of these versions come with Home or Professional. 

If are adventurous they are open source FREE versions of Linux available to you. Some are like Apple (MAC) in the look and feel. You can go to my blog (here) and read about Windows 8 vs. OS X Mountain Lion or you can look me up on my Facebook page @ Online PC Maintenance.Here is the link to my blog were you can get more info on OS X Mountain Lion http://goo.gl/Xh81My it is an older post here.

THE NEW LOOK  

XP PRO 

This product will no longer have support by Microsoft.are you excited about this? I am going to keep this post short...

On April 8, 2014, support and updates for Windows XP will no longer be available ... 

Are there options YES! 

If you are like many others who do not due back-ups now is the time! Buy a USB 16G stick back up all you documents and files~ 

NO WIMPS HERE!  

Here are a few replacement OS that will be extremely accommodating! 

Here is a collection of a few that are worth looking into if you would like to add to this list share and comment. 

 

Fedora 10 (pictured) - One of the few live distros that didn't have any trouble with the hardware on my MSI Wind netbook. My acid test: can it properly suspend and wake? Yes - and it does it faster than Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7. OpenSUSE and Ubuntu both failed to resume properly.

Damn Small Linux - I wouldn't feel right not listing Damn Small. It's pretty amazing what you can do with a whole OS that's not much bigger than most Windows antivirus applications. 50mb gets you Firefox, XMMS, VNCViewer, MS Office Viewer, and much more. It's also easily extendable through the MyDSL service or by using the apt command.

Linux Mint - While it's based on Ubuntu, Mint has some features that I think make it a bit more user-friendly. For starters, there are several easy ways to find and install new software including the dead simple Mint Software Portal. Find an app, click the install button, bada bing!

Slax - This has always been one of my favorite light Linux distros. It's about 200mb and includes plenty of great apps. It includes a really slick boot option as well: to act as a PXE server, allowing other machines on your LAN to boot Slax over the network.

NimbleX - If you're looking for a lightweight base to run virtual PCs on, check out NimbleX. It's the smallest distro I've seen that comes with Sun's Virtual Box. You can even customize your ISO on the web site before you download it if you want. Awesome. 

 Haiku - Inspired by BeOS, Haiku strives to provide an environment that is simple enough for beginners to use, yet powerful enough for more experienced users to enjoy as well. As they say on their web site, Haiku wants to be "free of unnecessary complexities." There's also Zeven OS, a Linux distro with BeOS-inspired visuals.

Untangle - Untangle is a free, open source gateway that is available as both a full-blown OS and a Windows application. The Windows "app" is a nice option if you don't have the hardware to spare for a standalone gateway machine

Guys here are a few that you could real get into remember you can share with others on how they can replace Windows. Please feel free to tell others about what you are using instead.

Browser Testing 101

Let's start with the newest Microsoft browser Interment Explorer 11~

The newest design is a complement to the newest Windows 8.1 touch technology which in it own rights has some some pros and cons of it own. 
They Just released a version of IE 11 for Windows 7 Pro and Home I currently use Window 7 Pro 32 bit application. 
Here are the findings:
PROS: Its overall speed is desirable, it is secure browsing. 
CONS: Still lacking in the TABS development. Microsoft windows still allows tab stacking. This causes an issue on my system with the sound control each time a new tab is opened the sound is at full volume on each TAB. I have talked with Microsoft support and they said they have not seen this issue,and will be working on it. Their suggested work around turn maim volume control down. So it is back to Google Chrome for now. 
OK there is a NEW GUY in town for those who are not fans of the Google chrome or IE versions browsers and they both have there funky little quirks but Chrome still overall tends to out preform Internet explorer 11.  DOWNLOAD       
  
Here is the NEW GUY on the BLOCK...

This light jewel has taken a hit form CNET but so far you will find that it out preforms IE and Chrome.  

Take some time download it you will find that it has some of the chrome browser functionality however it has a lite weight personality of it is own  and is quite the treat with all the new belles and whistles.

Download it today run it! I would love to hear you thoughts.

Cutting Edge

WOW! Just another day at the office for Googler's!
Chrome is bustin out~

Techno geeks yes just like me here it is the latest HDMI plugin  for you TV.

A 2-inch hardware device it bills as being the “easiest way to enjoy online entertainment on the TV.”
Google Android and Chrome chief Sundar Pinchai spoke on stage today at a press event about online videos, saying that 200 billion online videos are being watched globally. But one problem people have apparently is how to bring the Internet to the TV — he says 15 percent of households each week are able to transfer that information over to the bigger screen. With the updated version of Chrome, Google hopes to extend the experience to the television.

With Chrome, Google says that its approach to online entertainment is all about simplicity. It highlights three key points: that it should be fast and easy to set up, shouldn’t have anything new to learn, and work across platforms and devices.
Chromecast is a 2-inch device (specifically 72(L) x 35(W) x 12(H) mm) built on Chrome technology running a simplified version of the OS. Consumers need only plug it into HDMI input, connect to the WiFi and sit back and watch.

Google says that Chromecast will receive input from an app to display high-resolution content from the cloud to the device. Users have full control over playback from their mobile phone, tablet, or laptop. The device is intelligent enough to handle multitasking so that users can search for content without interrupting their on-screen viewing. Content can be queued up without stopping what people are watching.

But what about those households that aren’t dedicated Android owners? Google says that for those with iOS devices, you can access the YouTube app, tap on the Cast icon and it will automatically push the content to your Chromecast-enabled television.

Chromecast works not only with YouTube, but also Netflix, Google Music, Pandora, and more.

With this device, it competes against the likes of Apple TV, Roku, and other set-top boxes. In essence, Google is hoping Chromecast will create the true universal remote, except it won’t help you turn on/off your television.

Developers who want to integrate their apps into Chromecast can utilize Google’s Cast SDK.
