Which Linux is the best for me?

I got the Oracle DBA(OCP) certificate last year and I am learning Linux now.
I don't know which distribution is the most suitable one for me to learn? Fedora8.0, CentOS, RHEL5.0, Suse or other versions?

Again, you need to make a choice.
- Is this for learning Linux in general?
- Is this for getting familiar with a Linux desktop?
- Is this for learning how Oracle interacts with a distribution?
If for Linux in general, look around for a Linux User Group so you can get local help. Probably Fedora, SuSE or Ubuntu.
If for Linux as a desktop, do some research on KDE, gnome and Linux desktops. Pick a distribution that does a good job of the one that appeals to you. I'd guess Ubuntu.
If for Oracle-Linux learning, the I encourage getting a certified Linux or clone. Go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html , select 'by platform', select Linux x86 (and see http://ww.dizwell.com for Linux 64-bit comments), and pick one of the certified distros. (Note that CentOS is a Clone of Red Hat, so it counts as Red Hat.)
You can pick a non-certified Linux if you want to learn Linux & Oracle. But them any time you get into a problem, you will have doubts whether it is the Linux or the steps you use.

I'm very partial to Mint and run it on all of my ThinkPads...
There's other good stuff out there, depending on what one needs/wants, but Mint is pretty much plug and play on most machines that I've tried it on...
Good luck.

Which Linux is the best?

hi guys,
This is not related to java, but I am currently thinking of getting a linux OS, which linux is the best out there? redhat, mandrake, suse, or whatelse?....

Ow
This question has been posted many times, and often enough it lead to extensive Distribution Flamewars.
But once seems to come very clear from this discusions:
SuSE and Mandrake seem to be the most newbie friendly, they have easy installer, and will configure one of the big GUI's for the user (KDE is the default on both). Unfortunately, this installers can not handle any hardware, so sometimes you will have even install probs with them (without any Linux/Unix knowledge), but even on linux there is a generic default GUI driver g.
RedHat (which is the base for Mnadrake) is on the other Hand the globaly most used distribution (SuSE leeds only at home in Germany here), so your chance to find someone who uses RH and can help you is big.
The most sophisticated L33nux users go to Debian, their apt-get is a fantastic tool for updates. But Debian is more handwork on confs.
The crazy people, with masochistic tendencies, go to slackware. I don't know if Slack 8 is still so, but earlier it was pure Linux, no nice grafical config-tools etc. There was even no handbook to it.
In terms of Java, well, I started with SuSE and am still using it (even if it tends to be a little problematic with time, because of all the newbie tools, which cause trouble with hand-made confs), and the Sun jdk's runed without problems, at this time I have jdk1.3-rc2 and 1.4-beta here running.
SUN itself seems testing the JDK's (or j2se now) on the most used RH, so it should also work well with this, and because Mandrake bases on RH, there should be also no problem.
So if you have no experience with Linux, I would suggest Mandrake or SuSE. If you have some experience with Unix/Linux (e.g. from University) RedHat is maybe better in long terms.
All this provide huge handbooks for beginners, if you buy a distri.
With a good I-Net-Connection, you can download RedHat or Mandrake for testing (SuSE too, but SuSE stoped to provide CD-Images on their server, the live - version is only for testing, not installable).

Which app is the best for viewing documents without sliding while zooming?

I have many novels saved under *.htm, doc and pdf.
I'm using Quick Office, but when I zoom in, I have to slide the screen from side to side just to watch the whole things, which make my eyes feel very tired.
So I need your help about which app is the best for viewing documents without sliding while zooming, I mean, when you zoom in, you just have to slide vertically to see the whole documents, and don't have to slide horizontally.

There is a big difference between Windows and Linux, the scheduler being the biggest. Here are 3 shots from oblivion, I tried to keep the Tri-passes around 400-450k, and the texture mem is ~ the same in all 3.

All running on Wine 1.1.7, Oblivion is running around 150 mods, and QTP3, Body mods, High res texture packs for the character skins, with HDR lighting. As you can see the FPS does not change, it fluctuated between 19-20 on all three runs.
Especially with Dual cores, you will find that games do not loose FPS even with things like a lightweight music player running in the background. Windows scheduler simply was not made for that kind of thing, and benifits alot more from a lower number of background processes. I wont say linux does not benifit, but with Dual cores and CFS, it is not really noticable anymore.
Wait, does that mean you have better performance while you are running more stuff? Does the desktop manager handle graphics better?
This really did confuse me...

Which battery was the best for endurance for Satellite A100-999

Hi
I have just been given an A100-999 and I wanted to know which battery was the best for endurance.
From what I have seen it is the pa3400u-1brs but i just wanted confirmation as I am planning to buy it in Japan as it is probably cheaper.
Also, is there any information on how long this battery lasts?
thanks

Hi there,
this battery would fit for your machine 100%. I have the same one in almost the same machine. Dont worry, just buy it.

I am considering getting an iphone... Which model is the best for me to get?

I am considering getting an iphone... I do not care about getting the "latest gadget", but have all apple products and would love the convenience of the calendar, music, camera, etc... on my phone. Which model is the best for me to get?
Is it really worth it for the newest (and most expensive) model, or is the 3G sufficient for regular use? or is the 4 now the most basic model I should invest in? or do I really have to get the 4S?

I'm going to be a senior this year and my school is switching over to the iPad for classroom activities. Which iPad is the best for taking notes, researching, studying, reading, etc?

I Recommend the iPad Mini Retina, it's not to big, and not to small. It has the speed of the iPad Air due to it having the same 64 Bit chips. ( And it's a lot cheaper!!) I have one myself and it's perfect for my school work!

i,m looking for handsfree for iphone 4s, which one is the best for it

I really like the Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset. I have tried a lot of the ones on the market and the Plantronics one that I now use has - a long battery life, excellent sound quality and very low background noise. I occasionally use it when in a vehicle (although I do try to avoid doing this) and people on the other end of the line don't even realise that I am in a car.

After completed as an MBA HR & System, Which module is the best for freshers ??

Hi, I am Samrat Saha. I completed my post graduation as an MBA (HR&System). I did BCA in my graduation and did Higher secondary in commerce. I want to build my career in SAP. But I have some questions::
1. If i go for SAP then which module is the best for me..??
2. As a fresher is companies showing any interest to recruit..??
3. I hard a Course from Victoria University, Melborn, That Is "Master of Business (Enterprise Resource planning System) with SAP".. Is this Master degree worthy to do??
Message was edited by: Sarah Kellman

Hello Samrat,
It is not possible to provide guidance on what career path you should take. This is a conversation you need to have with a Career Planner or perhaps one of your professors. You should follow the path you are most interested in, be it a functional role or a technical role. Ideally you may want to consider getting some work experience in both fields, and then determine which area you wish to pursue.
You state you have an MBA in HR & System....System what?? System development? Technology? Programming? Data Warehousing? Even HR is a vast area within the SAP world. We have Payroll, Recruiting, Self Services, Compensation, Time Management, Learning Management Systems, etc. Most consultants select one or two areas to pursue. There is no such thing as a single person who knows the complete SAP HR solution...it's just too big!
I will suggest that you consider taking an SAP HR course so that you can get an idea as to how large the application is. There are lots of courses available in e-learning. I would recommend either SAPHRE or HR050E to start. Once you have completed one of these, you'll be in a better position to decide what you want to do, or at least decide what you don't want to do.
Good Luck!

If that's what you're using and it actually works, albeit slowly, I'd suggest taking The hatter's advice and go with the 6 core Mac Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 5870 video card. The RAM could come from here: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#1333-memory

Which case is the best for the iPhone 6?

So I am just wondering which case would be the best for the iPhone 6. I know that there are plenty of different cases out there. And I would like to get one that doesn't limit the use of the phone. But I also need the case that's good with drops and what not. Not that I make a habit of dropping my phone.

Of course, "best" case is in the eyes of the person using the phone.
Some would say it is an Otterbox, others would say it is a case which does not add too much bulk, others would say it is a case which extends battery life of your device, my daughter says the best case is the one she thinks is the most attractive(and minimizes bulk) and jorgeo_vzw has given his opinion which differs from at least a few of these options.
My best suggestion would be to determine what your usage habits are and choose according to those habits. The best case will not be the same case for everyone.

Which case is the best for my 30 gb 5th gen?

ever since i have had an ipod i have been trying to find the best case for it.
it seems that every case on apple has some monumental flaw in it that someone points out in the reviews (ex.) bad belt clip, no screen protector, scratches too easily, etc.) so my question is which one is the best??? which one works the best... protects the best.... and doesnt scratch my ipod a lot (i realize some scratching is basically inevitable)
please i need ur advice

Yes...scratching is inevitable so I opted for a versatile case with some form of screen/iPod protection. I'm trialing Belkin's Kickstand Case (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=253387) in conjunction with Power Support's crystal film cover set (http://www.powersupportusa.com/products/ipod/ip_5Gfilmset.php)
Plus: stand feature is really nice for viewing video. The user interface is functional with access to all buttons. One nice bonus is that is works really well with Griffin iTrip (the snap-strap holds it in place).
Minus: the case itself doesn't have a 'carrying feature' like others might for working out (armband, waistband) but instead comes with a caribiner clip. The crystal film set, when installed properly is invisible and will definitely protect from scratches (although the edges are exposed). One drawback to the film is that it can peel off if the edges get caught repeatedly (e.g. sliding the iPod in and out).

Which cover is the best for waterproofing?

I just bought a new iPhone 5s. I want to get a case that keeps out sand and saltwater. Which case is the best one in your opinion? I've found at the phone store that they recommend Lifeproof.
Thanks for your input.

Which application is the best for video converter?

Which MacBook Pro application is the best for video converter?

Docs to go is a bit more polished i think. It has been around awhile on other platforms and the sync is very well done. It works more as an extension of your desktop. You select the files you want to sync. They can stay where they are on your computer. If changes are made to either they update when you sync.
Quick Office allows you to move documents to and from your iphone and Any computer on any network as well as your iDisk if you have MobileMe. It has a server built in. You just enter the web address into any browser and you can see the folders on the iphone. It will work with Word and Excel fine. It is tricky editing a spreadsheet on such a small screen but it can be done.
Docs to Go has a little bit better editor.
I guess it depends on whether you want to be able to transfer files to a computer other than your own.
Hope that helps
