读书偶记之一
时间：2006-11-27 来源：适兕
星期六的时候，在摆置自己的Ubuntu和Gentoo的时候，更改外观已经没什么意思了，出路：1、自己开发、制作桌面、样式等2、忘记图形界面的存在。
像以往一样，我先徘徊一阵子再做决定！所以在感冒的时候开始读电子书，就是下面这本，电子书我还没有完整的读完过一本，但有个好的开始，希望能够坚持下去。
是讲关于Debian/Ubuntu的入门书，英文版的。。。（乘机锻炼下英文水平，也是个不错的选择）
下面是前天的一份笔记，昨天整天除了听同事培训之外都在弄gentoo编译！
《Beginning Ubuntu Linux
From Novice to Professional》
Keir Thomas（作者介绍■KEIR THOMAS has been writing about computers, operating systems,and software for a decade. He has edited several best-selling computermagazines, including LinuxUser & Developer, PC Utilities, and
PC Extreme, and worked as part of the editorial staff on a range of other
titles. He was formerly Technical Group Editor at Live Publishing.
Throughout Keir’s career, his aim has been to explain advanced and
confusing technology in ways that the average person can understand.
Keir works as a freelance editor and writer. He lives on the side of a
mountain in England, and his pastimes include hiking and playing
musical instruments. Beginning Ubuntu Linux is Keir’s second title for
Apress. His first was Beginning SUSE Linux.）
第一部分、
第一章 welcome!
1、the operating system runs everything and allows everything to work.
2、Although most of us refer to Linux as a complete operating system, the title “Linux” hides a lot of confusing but rather important details.
3、The world’s most popular operating system is Windows, which is made by the Microsoft Corporation.
4、There’s also the fact that Linux encourages you to take control of your computer, as opposed to treating it like a magical box. As soon as you install Linux, you become a power user.
5、One of the biggest questions asked by most newcomers to Linux is whether it can run Windows software. The answer is yes . . . and no.这句话很有意思。而我们是如何做答的了呢？且看作者。。。。。。Linux is completely different from Windows on a fundamental technical level. Its creators based it on Unix, an industrial-strength operating system, and deliberately steered clear of emulating Windows. This means that Linux isn’t a swap-in replacement for Windows. You cannot take the installation CD of a Windows program and
use it to install that program on Linux, in the same way that you cannot install an Apple Mac program on Windows.
However, several current projects let you run Windows programs on Linux. Wine (www.winehq.com) is an example of such a project, and you can download a commercial and easy-to-use variation of it from www.codeweavers.com. You can also use programs like VMware (www.vmware.com) to create a “virtual
PC” running on Linux. Then you can install the Windows operating system and, therefore, any Windows software you like.
In most cases, however, you’ll find that there’s a Linux equivalent of your favorite Windows software.
Frequently, you’ll find that this Linux version is actually superior to the Windows program you’ve been using.
看来还是不能对无知的人们作出满意的答复，但作者对linux的理解也让一些人不满！比如我。
6、Linux is extremely flexible. You could turn an old PC into a web server, e-mail server, or firewall that you can attach to a broadband Internet connection.
7、It’s an entire community of users spread across the globe. When you start to use Linux, you become part of this community (whether you like it or not!).社区文化是自由、开源软件生命之源。
8、To understand why Linux is shared, you need to understand its history, as well as the history of what came before it.乐于分享的精神，从其源起开始。
第二章 历史和政策
1、Linux is a pretty faithful clone of Unix.
2、Linux itself didn’t offer these functions. It simply ran the computer’s hardware. Once it booted up, it expected to find other programs. If they weren’t present, then all you saw was a blank screen.
记住，linux 只是一个内核，没有它什么也不能作，但仅有它还是什么也不能做！
3、The Linux kernel, developed by Torvalds, and the GNU software, developed by Stallman, were a perfect match. It’s important to note that this doesn’t mean the two projects joined forces. It simply means that the Linux project took some of the GNU software and gave it a good home.
双珠合壁，完美结合！
4、Not everyone had the know-how to put all the bits and pieces together into a complete operating system. 之所以有那么多的linux发行版本的存在！
5、Richard Stallman is the man behind GNU and, along with Linus Torvalds, is the second accidental hero in our story.让我们记住这两个人，尽管现在他们和初衷有点变化。
