All about browsers

I was reinstalling my windows today and after that i was installing my other system softwares needed.I usually have 2 or more browsers in my system and i was thinking which was the best among them.So i started surfing the net for my answer and here is it for you all to take a look and comment on my decision.

Internet Explorer

lets start with our most common browser ,the IE.As the IE comes as a part of the Windows its the most popular one and most used one but when it comes to performance and quality ,it goes down like a waterfall.As the IE have less security and are more prone to attacks.It is also not so fast and more featured like the tabs in the other browsers.But all this changed after the launch of the IE 7.0 with Windows Vista.Now it as the all features like the other top browsers but still it seems to be slow than Mozilla's Firefox 2.0



Mozilla Firefox

My favorite browser,Mozilla Firefox.Smart,Faster,Flexible thats what i will say when one asks me about firefox.This open source Browser got popular after its new version release at 2006.There after Firefox has not fallen short off its expectation.With its new add ons called the extensions it has incorporated lot of features.I mostly use firefox has my primary and default browser.It helps a lot in my broadband connection at home by blocking lot of the pop ups and saving my download limit too a large extent.It also prevents lot of spy wares from entering the system.

Opera

Opera is one of the best browser ,it has a lot of features but most of them is not used mostly.It is fast and has almost equivalent to Mozilla Firefox.I don't know the difference exactly but firefox seems to be light weighted than Firefox.I use it for browsing through my proxy server in hostel.It's easy to clear history and the feature i like most is that ,we can open the browser in the web pages we closed at the last time. We can also disable this option.opera was originally not a free ware but after 9.0 release its made free and its catching up with other browsers fast.



Thus all the browsers are almost of same level at this stage as never before.so whats the best browser ?????? the answer is I don't know,may be all are best.

Reinstalling Grub

Many of you have experienced the problem of reinstalling windows when we have a linux os also in our system.After reinstallation ,the grub boot loader of the linux os will be gone so we will not be able to enter linux.

I had this problem too and i tried surfing the net and asking some people how to overcome this,almost all of them told that we cannot reinstall windows without affecting the Grub and so the only way to get back the Grub is too reinstall the Grub.

I was confused whey they said to reinstall the Grub,i asked them do you mean to reinstall the linux os itself.They said no,thats what most people do but it's not needed.Reinstalling Grub is totally a easier job and will take only up to some 5 or 10 minutes.

So this is how the reinstallation process takes place,

• First Reinstall your Windows Operating System.Now the Grub Boot loader will be gone from your system and your system boots directly to windows.

• Now load your Linux live cd or installation cd and boot up

• Once you have entered your terminal,type the following command to enter into grub mode

grub

then type if you know where your windows is located

root (hd0,1)

or else do this

find /boot/grub/stage1

and then the root command with the correct parameters:

setup (hd0)

to install it on hd0, that is MBR of the first HD.

Now restart the system and grub will be loaded.

Linux Problems Contd ....

Uninstalling Linux on a Dual Boot System

Most of the people don't use the Linux Operating system as a single Os for the system,mostly we use with common Windows OS.The problem arises when we try to remove the Linux from the system.First of all we cannot uninstall Linux like any softwares in windows and how ever we remove it,it affects the Master Boot Record of our hard disk,thus making the hard disk unbootable as we are removing the GRUB with has over written the Windows MBR at the time of Linux installation.

To remove linux,first you need to have your Windows Xp Installation Cd or Windows ME/98 Installation Cd.If u have any one of those cds you can proceed on uninstalling linux from your hard disk.

Removing Linux from your hard disk is not complex process as it sounds.First delete your linux partition and format with need FAT table from windows using any partition software tool like partition magic,DM etc.. or use the Disk management option available in the Computer Management option of Windows Xp/Vista.To go to Computer management ,right click the My Computer and select manage.

Now restart the computer and boot your system with one of the Windows installation Cd.if you use Windows 98/ME,in the command prompt enter this command from c:\

fdisk /mbr

if you use Windows Xp installation Cd,run the recovery console,select the windows and in the console type this command

fixmbr

and answer yes /y for the confirmation pop up dialog box Now restart your system and your MBR will be fixed and your system will boot directly to windows.

Problems in Linux

Hi guys,its been a long time i thought about using Linux operating system as i was busy with the windows os with my project and now as my project is getting ready to completion ,i was thinking of getting back to Linux and learn some thing new in it and i thought of the problems i faced while using the Linux os a while ago and i thought i may share with all of you. I usually use Fedora core ,i don't know why but i like it .so here goes the story

Installing Linux

The First and foremost problem was installing the Linux in a new partition in my system.I started installing the Fedora core from the cd's i downloaded from the internet,it was going on fine till the step came for selecting the partition for installing Linux,as i was new to it,i didn't know what to do and selected automatic selection.

The Setup asked me to whether to use the free space in the hard disk or use a window partion and or use a old linux partition.I didn't have the last 2 options in my hand and so i thought of trying the first one and the setup showed the free space in all the existing partitions but i had data in it so i could not even use them .so i stopped the installation


What actually went wrong in the installation was that i should have created empty partition first in the windows itself or should have known to use the manual partition setup

Easy Installation of Linux

Follow these steps for easy installation

• Boot your system in windows
• Select an existing partition which you can wipe out and move the needed data's to other partition
• The size of the partition should be at least 5 GB,i recommend 10 GB for good usage
• Use a partition software like Partition Magic and delete the partition and restart
• After restarting ,the partition should be gone form the system
• Now boot your system from the Linux CD and go through the installation process
• At the stage of selecting the partition ,use automatic and select the option of using existing free space
• Now the setup will take free space we have created by deleting the partition
• Go through the rest of the setup and install Linux.

Manual Installation

Manual installation differs slightly for different versions of linux,mostly all the linux needs 3 partitions namely

1. Boot Partition with a minimum of 100 MB size
2. Swap Partition with a minimum of 128 MB size
3. Root Partition with a minimum of 4 GB size

There will be a partition software in the setup,use the new ,edit and delete to create these partitions and it looks like this


Delete any existing partition which is not needed and create these new partitions and select the partition type as ext3 which is the Linux partition type for boot and root partition's and swap partition if of swap partition type itself.

For the mount point type you need to select /boot for boot partition and / for root partition and for swap you don't have mount point itself. After creating all these partitions ,you can also create a extra partition if you want like the D and E partitions in Windows os.just create a new partition and select any mount point other than / , /boot.

The newer versions of the Linux now don't need the boot partition but need the remaining 2 partitions.

Wealth of India - The Golden Temples

I don't think India as a poor country and those who think like that,just look at these temples and tell me ,is India actually poor or it's being deprecated like that ...

There are 3 golden temples in India as of now and each have its own origin and own history and here is a little bit of info about those temples for you,

The Tirupathi Golden temple

This temple is for the God Sri Venkateswara located on the seventh peak, Venkatachala (Venkata Hill) of the Tirupati Hill, and lies on the southern banks of Sri Swami Pushkarini in the state of Andra Pradesh.This temple's origin goes to 9 th century Pallavas of the Kanchipuram and then it was followed by lot of the rulers who enchanted the temple's prosperity and one of the most significant ruler in that list is Sri Krishnadevaraya of Vijayanagar dynasty.

It 's one of the holiest pilgrim spot of the hindu's and it attracts lot of devotees from all over the world,for more info about the place click here

The Golden temple of Amritsar

The Golden temple of Amritsar belongs to the Sikh religion of the Punjab's.It's history goes to 1577 AD of the fourth Guru of Sikhism, Guru Ram Das, excavated a tank which subsequently became known as Amritsar which means Pool of the Nectar of Immortality , giving its name to the city that grew around it. In due course, a splendid Sikh edifice, Harmandir Sahib which means The Abode of God , rose in the middle of this tank and became the supreme center of Sikh's.

The Golden temple of Vellore

The Golden temple in Vellore was built just a year ago, to be exactly accurate it was opened for public on August 24,2007 and its getting popular day by day. The temple is built for the Goddess Mahalakshmi.The Rs 600-crore gold temple is located on 55,000 sq ft of land on a 100-acre salubrious stretch in Malaikodi, about 6 km from Vellore in north Tamil Nadu.

The temple is built almost similar to the Golden temple in Amritsar,the temple is in middle of a pond and there is a star pathway with inscriptions from Gita and various other holy scripts written all over it.Even the pillar are built with gold making the temple richest of all in whole continent of Asia.
