Live CDs

Live OS distribution (LiveDistros) is hugely popular with open source fans but may be new to Windows addicts. In a LiveCD, the operating system is stored in a bootable CD or a DVD which can be directly used to boot to the OS without an installation. Booting with a LiveCD does not modify your hard drive structure or change any of your current settings.

For example, assume you are running Windows XP. You want to try out Linux just to get a feel of it but the separate partition creation and time consuming installation processes don't encourage you to do it. You can easily use a Linux LiveCD such as Ubuntu Live. Just download the Ubuntu LiveCD image, burn it and boot Ubuntu Linux without complicated installation procedures or separate perditions. Once you are done experimenting, shut down the PC, remove the LiveCD and reboot. Windows XP (or whatever your previous OS was) will boot just like before!

The Live OS performance is greatly reduced due to the fact that it is run from a CD or DVD which has a slower data transfer rate. You will also not be able to save anything in live mode. This is why it's good for experimenting.

There are over 300 LiveCDs of many different OS. In addition to the Operating Systems, Live images can also be used for computer recovery purposes, games, OS replacement, clustering, diagnostics and more. Check the 'Primary Function' colum in the list for the functions available.

View the Full LiveCD List here.


Just download the LiveCD image of you choice, burn it and boot it! You may need Nero or similar burner software to burn the image. Remember, burn the image using 'Image burning' option. Burning downloaded file to a Data CD wont work.

Anonymity Gateway 2.7

Anonymity Gateway masks the real IP of a user, allowing him to browse all kind of pages without ever worrying that the ISPs or any other marketing tool is monitoring your surfing habits or spammers are attacking your computer. The simplest way to do this is to have traffic redirected through anonymous proxies. A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and the Internet resources you are accessing. The data you request come to the proxy first, and only then it transmits the data to you. As a result, the websites see the IP address of the proxy server instead of your own IP address. This tool has a comprehensive proxy list, containing proxies from various countries so that you can choose one from a specific one.


Features

* Browse anonymously, check mails, participate in newsgroups using proxies form different countries at your choice, having the identity well hidden
* Interact with websites anonymously: using proxies that allow you to post messages, game, cast votes, post on forum, use IP – based trials
* Blocks ActiveX - ActiveX controls add interest to sites through multimedia but the controls can also harbor malicious code such as viruses. Most sites will function properly with ActiveX controls disabled.
* Blocks JavaScript - This code may be used in harmful way such as to information on your computer.

BWMeter 3.2.3


Some while back, we talked about the pros and cons of SLT's new ADSL package which has a 1GB download limit. Users of this limited ADSL package will find this software extremely useful as it makes life easier by keeping track of your bandwidth usage.

BWMeter is a powerful bandwidth meter, monitor and traffic controller, which measures, displays and controls all traffic to/from your computer or on your network. Unlike other products, it can analyze the data packets (where they come from, where they go, which port and protocol they use). This makes it possible to distinguish between local and internet traffic for example. BWMeter can also be used for traffic control by setting a speed limit for all kinds of connections or restricting access to certain internet sites. It creates statistics for all computers in your network, measuring and displaying all LAN traffic as well as download / upload from the internet. You can even define filters which show your transfer with certain internet addresses (e.g. to see how much data you download from your favorite news server). BWMeter is ideal for home users to get an overview of how much bandwidth they use, as well as small to large businesses, where one computer can control the traffic and maintain the statistics of downloaded / uploaded data of all computers in the network.



Features:

* Graphical and numerical display of bandwidth
* User definable filters for measuring bandwidth
* User definable graphs to visualize bandwidth
* Can monitor all network interfaces / adapters
* Can monitor and display all traffic on the network

SLT's new ADSL package: Good or Bad?

Sri lanka Telecom (The incumbent fixed line operator in Srilanka), in its latest drive to boost subscriber base, has re-branded SLT ADSL as SLT Broadband and launched a new budget ADSL package to capture new market segments. Is the new package as beneficial as it sounds?

New ADSL packge Features and conditions

* Monthly rental Rs.1000/=
* Usage Allowance 1GB and additional usage will be charged Rs.250/= for each 250MB blocks
* Connection fee Rs.500/=
* Download 512Kbps and upload 128Kbps
* Available in all current ADSL areas

Usage allowance term simply means that you will be charged extra if your usage (Web surfing, e-mail checking, downloading, TV/radio streaming or basically anything which you do using SLT ADSL connection) exceeds 1GB.

In our opinion, the package is not worth it. What can you do with a 1GB limit on your ass? 1GB might have been a huge amount some years back but this is the information age for fucks sake! Even a simple login to Windows Live Mail is bound to consume more than 2MB per try. Your 1GB limit will exceed before you know it and you might even end up paying a rental higher than for ADSL Home Express (You download 2.25GB --> You pay Rs 2250 which is the same amount as the monthly rental for Home Express package)

Don't even think about downloading torrents or software using this connection as you will end up with a huge monthly bill due to additional usage charge.

The Internet evolves, file sizes increase, traffic consumption goes up, web services are born, everything is downloadable, SLT puts a 1GB limit to its budget 'broadband' connection. It just doesn't make sense.

Conclusion:

Stay away from the Rs 1000 package. It's basically a faster dial up connection. If you are planning to upgrade to ADSL go for the Home Express package (512K Up/ 128K Down, Rs 2250 per month, unlimited usage) and experience Internet without restrictions or fear of exceeded bandwidth limitations.

Windows Live Writer


Windows Live Writer is a free application designed by Microsoft which enables desktop blog publishing. The software is easy to use and features a user friendly GUI. Download, add your blog to WLW, configure (there is a wizard) and you are good to go. You can just type your blog entry in WLW and format using a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor. You don't even have to open a web browser to publish a blog entry. It's all integrated. (Finally, something Cool from Microsoft.)

We at FILEnetworks have been using it for a while and it's been a smooth operation so far. Keep this in mind though : It's still beta. However during our usage, we found no critical bugs which are usually present in beta releases.

WLW currently supports following blog services:
# Windows Live Spaces
# Blogger (All versions)
# LiveJournal
# TypePad
# Wordpress
# All blogs that are RSD (Really Simple Discoverability) compatible
# MetaWeblog Format
# Moveable Type Format



WLW can be downloaded from the official blog. WLW official blog is located at http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/

Bottom Line is that this app can be a real time saver if you are a hard core blogger.
