  ^ chip in na rin po, noob here with no prior background sa linux ( only basic computer skills, ability to follow instructions [and criticisms], a love for reading & researching, and perhaps most importantly, a great interest with unfamiliar stuff ;)
  
  sa kagustuhan ko po na makapagrevive ng 7 year old laptop (kasi even with a heavily tweaked WinXP irritably slow na rin sya with most major apps) I was able to try Crunchbang pero I found it quite spartan. Then finally discovered the prowess of Slitaz linux on this ancient Neo M3S (Celeron 1.6ghz, 64mb SiS graphics, 512mb ddr1, slow 40gb 4200rpm IDE hdd, dead battery).
  
  Thank God for linux talaga, I was able to impress my studyanteng pamangkins showing them di pa 'for disposal' mga ganito at may asim pa, pwedeng makapag-Skype and the rest of the usual stuff typical pc users do on latest machines. Configuring Slitaz wasnt so easy as Ubuntu pero every time na may mapagana ako sa kanya It gives such an emotional high :)
  
  Now Im planning na talaga to take formal learning sa ganito, sort of a "career change". I know magsisimula akong muli sa pinakabottom, it would take years, doesnt end sa classroom lang. But I believe its a worthwhile endeavor :)

  @hajji:
  

  Red Hat ang choice ko for my standard teaching, learning, and corporate servers

  
  Ang counterpart ko dito sir Oracle Linux 6.4 kaso may pag-ka-konsumisyon ng konte.
  Pero as soon as mabuo ko ang isa kong PC with an 8GB RAM, I'll be using Qubes with it.
  

  ubuntu for desktop

  
  Oo nga madali kasi eh noh?
  

  slack and debian for 'more complex things

  
  Ah oo nga. Reliable ang mga ito.
  

  of course other intention I love 'BackTrack/Kali' and Blackbuntu

  
  Hehehe alam ko ang purpose ng mga ito. =DD
  

  ang paniwala ko kahit anong linux distro gamit mo hard core ka dahil gusto mo ng freedom

  
  Naks naman =D
  
  Ako naman sir I'll be venturing into the world of BSD and Solaris para naman maka-level up (not that I'm an expert sa Linux) Gusto ko lang masubukan maka-wala sa Windows minsan.
  Pero Gentoo install ko next para masubukan ko ang manumanong install.

  cool, wag mo kalimutan ang OpenBSD sa 'BSD adventure' mo and experience mo rin yung Oracle Solaris 11.1 running GNOME :) galing din ng implementation may sudo/su sya sa GUI level

• shintsan88 on May 15, 2013 08:48 PM

  @ Su30FlankerC
  
  maraming salamat po for the suggestion, Ill look into it :)

• Su30FlankerC on May 15, 2013 09:08 PM

  No problem.

• clerrific on May 16, 2013 10:34 AM

  pasingit hehe!
  
  I'm a debian diehard fan.
  
  Flexible si debby mag-umpisa sa legacy hanggang sa latest hardwares just like slackware, gentoo and arch sama ko na rin yung mga bsd variants. Di naman sa ayaw ko din sa mga redhat based(itself) since linux din naman yan, may sinusunod lang sya na system requirements just like winblows(where's the freedom here? freedom in using or freedom from your wallet?) HAHA!
  
  I only install openbox, tint, latest kernel and some lightweight apps dahil minsan nahihiram yung personal computer ko
  
  pero pagdating sa working server ko I only install openbox dahil minsan absent ako eh nahihirapan gumamit yung mga ka-officemate ko ^_^
  
  same here with you all I'm going back to the depths since its all began in unix. the power is in the past

• armitage on May 16, 2013 12:32 PM

  I know magsisimula akong muli sa pinakabottom

  
  
  knowing you're at the bottom means that you're further along and higher up than you think, specially after what you've described.
  
  

  pero every time na may mapagana ako sa kanya It gives such an emotional high

  
  No one can pat your back better and tell you it's a good job than yourself. No matter how elegant the solution or how big a kludge it may be, if it's something that you figure out for yourself, well, you know how it feels. And you start stepping up to bigger things. Seeking approval from others only leads to thoughts and feelings of insecurity.
  
  

  But I believe its a worthwhile endeavor :)

  
  
  Every skill is worthwhile. The only skill that's not worthwhile is the skill of listening and believing other people telling you it's not worthwhile. Just keep going. :)

  on a side note, ubuntu is starting to bore me to tears.

  Hehehe...

• Su30FlankerC on May 16, 2013 04:38 PM

  @hajji:
  

  wag mo kalimutan ang OpenBSD

  
  
  Baka nga ito unahin ko pag-aralan kasi sir ang ganda ng feature set nya eh.
  

  OpenBSD supports binary emulation of most programs from SVR4 (Solaris), FreeBSD, Linux, BSD/OS, SunOS and HP-UX.

  Oracle Solaris 11.1 running GNOME

  
  Meron na po ako nito sir (LiveDVD), di ko pa lang masyado ine-explore kasi Gentoo muna kinakalkal ko hehehe...

  Yung naging instructor ko sa MERALCO Foundation Debian biased sya. :)

  @su30
  
  if you're into systems level development, take a hard look at netbsd. Personally, I haven't looked, but it's supposed to have the cleanest code around, not to mention it's legendary portability.
  
  NetBSD powered toaster anyone?

  if you're into systems level development, take a hard look at netbsd.

  
  
  I'll be looking into this sir.
  
  By the way anong language ang kelangang alam kung system development?
  
  C? Kasi right now Java inaaral ko.

• clerrific on May 17, 2013 10:06 AM

  ^preferably c and c++ (OOP is optional)

• armitage on May 17, 2013 11:36 AM

  well, c in general, and if you'll be looking at kernel code, you most likely won't need OOP at all.

  @Su30FlankerC
  may idea ka ba sir how much yung course offer sa mfi? i mean yung tatlo na?
  
  @clerrific:
  helo... ok ba magturo sa meralco? ano po ang student ratio ng isang class? and anong linux ang gamit sa pagtuturo?

• packets on May 19, 2013 11:34 AM

  ok ba magturo sa meralco? ano po ang student ratio ng isang class? and anong linux ang gamit sa pagtuturo?

  
  
  Naalala ko ung kasamahan ko sabi niya sa akin I think around year 2005 nagenrol siya ng Linux Admin sa MFI..."Sana nagbasa na lang ako. Ganun din eh".
  
  I share the same sentiments of my friend. I would prefer to study on my own na lang, read ebooks and watch cbt, setup a virtual lab and spend the money either buying books or for certification.
  
  But if you are type of a person na mas makakafocus pag room study and gusto ng may nagtuturo, then go for it. But at the end of the day, you still need to read and read and read.

• Su30FlankerC on May 19, 2013 12:27 PM

  @jabsalud:
  

  may idea ka ba sir how much yung course offer sa mfi? i mean yung tatlo na?

  
  Modular ang classes eh. So hiwa-hiwalay talaga ang topics/subject matters.

  helo... ok ba magturo sa meralco? ano po ang student ratio ng isang class? and anong linux ang gamit sa pagtuturo?

  
  OK naman. Pero bottom line kasi nasa-saiyo pa rin ang effort.

  My personal knowledge in Linux is based on personal interest and research.
  Karagdagan lang ang nakuha ko sa MFI at syempre yung paper certificate.
  
  @clerrific
  @armitage
  Mag-self study ako sa C.

• subsistence on May 19, 2013 01:55 PM

  Ako di ko naman masasabi na expert sa linux. Pero hanggat maari iniiwasan ko magtanong dito para na rin magbigay daan para sa mas nangangailangan ng tulong at hindi matabunan post nila.
  
  Google google lang pag may hindi alam at hindi maintindihan.
  
  Google is your friend :)
  
  Pag hindi na kaya, itanong sa mga masters! Haha! Madalas kasi may itatanong sila at dun masasagot din problema mo haha!
  
  Thanks to tpc linux community!

• eallanjoseph on May 19, 2013 02:33 PM

  masters tanung lang paano po ba mag uninstall sa UBUNTU 12.04 the programs or application using commands? at meron din po ba na pwede mo makita ung mga nag ru-run na application bukod ung sa system utlity nya? at last question po ano po ba ibig sabihin nung mga packages example po ung nagdownload ka ng java netbeans. may mga tinatawag kc silang packages? xenxa na po kung daming tanung newbie lang po sa ubuntu. ibang iba pala ang windows sa linux.
  
  
  salamat po

• subsistence on May 19, 2013 03:28 PM

  Sudo dpkg --remove "xxx"
  
  Sudo apt-get --remove "xxx"

• armitage on May 19, 2013 09:16 PM

  there's also
  
  sudo apt-get remove --purge <packagename>
  
  --purge to remove configs as well.
  
  instead of remove, you can use autoremove to take out unneeded dependencies as well.

• subsistence on May 19, 2013 09:57 PM

  Ahh.. nice di ko alam yun ah.
  
  Thanks sir armitage!

• mitsurugi on May 19, 2013 10:23 PM

  Masters, baka may mga magandang desktop themes kayo for linux? Yung futuristic ang dating?

• darkvice on May 19, 2013 11:11 PM

  @mitsurugi
  
  sir ano gamit mo na X desktop environment / window manager?

• clerrific on May 20, 2013 12:37 PM

  hmm... kung wholeset habol mo at futuristic ang nakikita ko lang eh cinamon at plasma ng kde

• sysdev1 on May 20, 2013 12:47 PM

  Pero Gentoo install ko next para masubukan ko ang manumanong install.

  
  
  Gentoo ang favorite ko dati. Ang sabi sa akin ng friend kong linux admin, masokista daw ako. hahaha!
