One of the popular uses of Linux is to create live media that can be used to run desktop systems or to create utility discs for all kinds of administration. Confused about the live CD that's right for you? No worries, we've got the top five live Linux CDs to get you started.</p><br /> <p>The popularity of live CDs has waned a little bit over the years, for a couple of reasons. One of the big reasons a lot of users chose a live CD, initially, was the difficulty of installation. Back in the day, Linux just wasn't as easy to install as it is now. And many users liked to use Linux on a live CD to get the hang of it before trying to dual-boot with Windows or replacing Windows altogether.</p><br /> <p>By the way, while we're talking about live CDs here, you're not restricted to CDs for most Linux live distros. Some ship full DVDs of software, and most are bootable from USB as well in case you have a netbook or other machine without a optical drive &mdash; or just happen to prefer carrying a USB key over a CD or DVD.</p> Reads: 560 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 10:33:10 GMT http://forum.softgil.com/readarticle.php?article_id=3 http://forum.softgil.com/readarticle.php?article_id=3 The Internet domain game has been going strong for over 20 years. Have you ever thought back and wondered what some of the first domain registrations were? Surprisingly the first domain name ever registered was symbolics.com. Below you will find the list of the first <a href="http://www.iwhois.com/oldest/" target="_blank">100 domain</a> names registered. <br /><br />If only you were able to predict at that time how vast the internet would expand you could have made loads of money. Simple three letter domain names now sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's no surprise that the first 100 list is compromised of many large corporations as it surely cost more than $1.99 to register a domain name in the 1980's. Interestingly Microsoft.com isn't part of the list as it was not registered until May 1991. Reads: 2716 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 11:01:08 GMT
