The Linux Workshop that is been conducted by me and my colleague has a session on Linux Installation. The problem faced was, we had machines with Ubuntu installed already and we did not wish to reinstall everything again. As we searched for solution we heard about vmware and instantly decided to try it out. It worked like charm, we installed vmware-server on all 20 machines. The virtualization was good, it was just like installing Ubuntu on real machine. The people who attended the workshop were quite impressed. The installation procedure for it on Ubuntu was pretty simple. First we modify the sources.list file, we add this repository to it. deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu feisty-commercial main Next run update command sudo apt-get update Lastly step install using sudo apt-get install vmware-server vmware-tools-kernel-modules During the installation it will ask for Serial Key, for this one needs to register at their site for FREE.

Yahooo!!!! Finally after a long wait,i bought a Transcend JF V30. Had been planning about it since long. Its storage capacity is 1GB. The good thing is i got it when i needed it the most. My BE project has started,could not have expected it at a better time.

CENTRALISED DOWNLOAD SYSTEM (CDS) Scope of project: Centralised Download System(CDS) takes download request from clients and downloads the requested data from internet when bandwidth is utilized minimum by other services, for eg: During night time. After downloading, it stores the information on the local server and sends the local link to the user who had requested it. Project Description: Now consider a organization or firm which has many users using Internet.The firm has a limited bandwidth provided by the ISP. Many users access internet and download files, this causes high usage of bandwidth thereby causing the net speed to reduce. If heavy download is been done by users, then simple web application as accessing internet via web browser gets very slow. This therefore causes inconvenience to many users of the firm. In such situation having a good download system that controls the download by users will be at advantage. This is the objective of our system to provide a Centralized Dow...

Hurray !! It worked. The driver works. Beryl on ubuntu looks cool on Smart Board. It works like a charm on it. The sensor boards can detect our finger moments and one can rotate the workspaces by hand. This is much better than what i thought. Great find, considering the fact that we had the smart board for the last 3 years and never used it. Well i am surely giving an Presentation on it for Crave . May be i may record the whole presentation using Smart Board features.

Well it seems the search for driver at crave lab is over, we had doubts whether Smart Board Driver for Linux was available. The good thing is that it is available and supported well by Smart Board for different platforms. We intend to try it out today, hope things work out of box. If it works we will try Beryl on it too.
