LinuxArt

Learning how to use Linux and understanding the basic tips and tricks of the operating system as a whole is the sole purpose of the Linux Art project. Linux is a free and open source operating system based on Unix. And since the source is available for developers to play with there are innumerable distributions of the Linux operating system that have been edited and modified by some individual or an organization. Having said that, most of the programmers and developers prefer Apple's OS for professional uses but if you want to work in a similar environment but don't have the extra currency to spend on the needed, you can go for Linux which provides a very familiar desktop environment. Linux Machines are the most common servers across the world due to its security and flexible control it provides to the administrator. Knowing how to work with the popular distributions of Linux like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Cent OS, Open Suse, etc. can add a great advantage to your professional and technical arena. I hope the knowledge shared would be of useful help to you and would result into the manifestation of great ideas into reality using the Linux Operating System. It is but a general and fascinating effort to change the numbers of Linux acquainted masses from 10 to 100 and then to 1000 and to keep growing it to form a better group of developers and Linux users and to benefit those who seek for knowledge of it to have an extra edge.

How to program pyramids using loops - 2

In this video tutorial, two of the more patterns have been discussed that relates to the similar pattern problems. What's different about these are that they also include spaces before the stars as a part of the pattern to be printed. Having this extra sub pattern to track spaces  in the desired pattern requires an extra loop to track and control it . For a brief review, We discussed that these patterns if observed carefully are just representation of tables i.e. a combination of rows and columns . And few of the cells in that table are populated with some data according to a logically programmed algorithm with represents a pattern. In these cases, the red triangles shows us the spaces represented by "sp" and therefore unlike the previous pattern these need to be managed by the loop as they occur before the stars in the pattern. So, taking the same approach of rows and columns managing loops, we will have an outer loop that tracks the rows which will start at 0...

Turn your Linux into a wifi hotspot for Android and Windows phones! (Ubuntu and Linux Mint)

This is one of the biggest problem linux users face i.e. to share your ethernet connection over wifi for your android or windows mobile device.

We need to install 2 additional tools to make our hotspot work: hostapd(hotspot server)   dnsmasq(dns dhcp server) Open the terminal (Ctrl+alt+T) and type:  sudo apt-get install hostapd dnsmasq and press enter. Wait for them to install.   2. Stop these services and prevent them from starting on system start up. To do that; open a terminal and type each command per line and press enter: sudo service hostapd stop sudo service dnsmasq stop sudo update-rc.d hostapd disable sudo update-rc.d dnsmasq disable   3. Now we need to set the configuration files for both the installed tools. To open the config file of dnsmasq ; open a terminal (Ctrl+alt+T) and type sudo gedit /etc/dnsmasq.con...
