Let's analyse certain major Linux distros and their anticipated purpose: 1) Ubuntu:
 Ubuntu was once considered as the standard Linux distribution for 
beginners, but due to Ubuntu Unity, that title no longer belongs to 
Ubuntu, but that doesn’t mean it is useless. Very soon, Ubuntu is likely
 to emerge with the first trustworthy Linux tablet 2) Linux Mint:
 This is the effective standard for beginners. Linux Mint introduced 
great and user friendly features in Ubuntu and enhanced GNOME 3- a 
combination that provided an incredible environment for beginners as 
well as old users of Linux. 3) Fedora: If you want an advanced version of Linux, go for Fedora. Even those, looking for pure take on GNOME 3, opt for Fedora. 4) Debian:
 Debian is for you, especially if you’re aiming at a good development 
environment. It's the distro Ubuntu was based upon and certainly a solid
 flavor of Linux. It’s easy to manage too due to its apt package 
management system. 5) Puppy Linux: This small Linux distro
 is used with a low-powered machine or address a specific purpose such 
as running VirtualBox virtual machines, network scanning, or hard disk 
rescue. 6) openSUSE: It’s a tough one with KDE and solid system admin tool. Opt for this one, if ytou are looking for multi-lingual support. 7) CentOS:
 If you are looking for the significant power of enterprise Linux but 
without paying for Red Hat Linux, you can go for CentOS. It can handle, 
mail servers, web servers, DNS, DHCP, and so on. 8) Red Hat Linux:
 This is the distribution for enterprise and corporate environments. Not
 only this, this is the first Linux company that made a serious profit. 
With Red Hat Linux , you get good amount of support and some proprietary
 software to make the task of managing server/network/environment much 
easier. 9) Gentoo: Gentoo is an OS that comprises several 
packages as Debian do. Though it doesn’t comes in pre-compiled type, but
 you need to compile every-time for every system. It is ideal for 
learning and to know internal working of a Linux OS. 10) Damn Vulnerable Linux:
 Vulnerable Linux (DVL) is intentionally packed with broken, 
ill-configured, obsolete, and usable software that makes it susceptible 
to attacks. This is meant for training Linux Admins. 11) Arch Linux:
 Arch is a systematic release OS, where one time installation is enough 
and you can upgrade a distro with a new version without going for fresh 
install. Arch is created to be kept simple from Developer’s point of 
view enables you to understand every detail of a Linux System. 12) Kali Linux:
 Kali Linux is based on Debian and enables penetration testing. Recently
 released, its predecessor was Backtrack. Kali is available with various
 penetration tools, be it Wi-Fi or Database or any other tools. Kali 
makes use of APT for Package Management.

Ubuntu is considered as the easiest Linux distro all the time. But it's 
not the most user-friendly ones. Well, it's really difficult to choose 
between Ubuntu and OpenSUSE as both of them are great. But yes, experts 
say OpenSUSE is more useful and helpful in comparison to Ubuntu. Let's 
find out why so with 10 main reasons. 
 
1. Installation: Ubuntu
 is an undisputed champion when it comes to installation as there is no 
complication. It's just a next-next-next job for Ubuntu installation. 
Ubuntu can be difficult only if you opt for an unknown settings option 
or if your installation disk gets corrupted. On the other hand, if we 
are to talk about one of the most sophisticated installer in Linux 
systems, it's of OpenSUSE, called YaST. Well if you are not very much 
into taking risks, then OpenSUSE installation may pose difficulties for 
you. If you are an expert in Linux or is willing to learn new things, 
then OpenSUSE is for you. So the basic fact is, Ubuntu is a very traditional option while OpenSUSE means a lot more. 2. Desktop Environments: GNOME
 is the desktop environment for Ubuntu users and it is the default one, 
anyhow. There is a KDE option too but when it's KDE, it's only KDE. But 
in OpenSUSE, you have your own choice. In OpenSUSE, you're offered the 
most awesome interface in the world to search and install all the great 
software available including multiple database servers, web servers, 
development environments, desktop Environments, text editors, video and 
audio editors, 3D modelers, DTP tools and so on. So when it comes to 
desktop environment, the winner is definitely OpenSUSE. 3. KDE – the familiar option: We
 cannot the beat the fact that Windows is still the most used operating 
system in the world. Ubuntu is not a good option, in these terms, for 
the Linux community, because of its Mac OS X's copied looks and so on. 
But when KDE is used on OpenSUSE, it looks easier and more friendly. 
OpenSUSE is better than Ubuntu as it uses KDE by default. 4. KDE works better with OpenSUSE: Well,
 computer newbies don't usually opt for Linux and it's very much 
understood. So Linux users are usually not required to be trained on how
 to open files, folders and applications and how to close them. OpenSUSE
 makes it easier for Windows users to work in the level of a Control 
Panel through YaST control center. KDE is not just a desktop environment
 but also a software collection which has lots of cool applications like
 Ktorrent, Konqueror, Dolphin, Kget, Kate, Kontact and more. OpenSUSE 
integrates better with KDE and that's why OpenSUSE is a better option to
 use than Ubuntu. 5. Installing new software is easy in OpenSUSE: Installing
 a new software is easier in OpenSUSE than Ubuntu, due to KDE once 
again. In OpenSUSE, you just need to launch YaST, search for software, 
find it, select them for installation and hit install. OpenSUSE''s 
one-click install stands out as a much easier option to Ubuntu's 
installation using PPA. While in Ubuntu you cannot see the amount of 
data it is downloading, OpenSUSE shows that. 6. OpenSUSE better option for developers: OpenSUSE
 DVD comes with tools full of IDEs and server software which makes sure 
that you can install all the software you want to have. The DVD also 
offers few other things like Debuggers, their GUIs, Version Control 
System and their UIs etc. So OpenSUSE is a better option than Ubuntu, 
nevertheless. 7. OpenSUSE lives for longer time: OpenSUSE crashes lesser than Ubuntu and it's a better option if your want to install and run various software on your system. 8. No bloatware on OpenSUSE: OpenSUSE
 is slow, at least most people think so. But with OpenSUSE latest 
version, it's not at all true. There are systemd, DB servers, web 
server, FTP server – so how come OpenSUSE can perform slow? At least 
there is no bloatware on OpenSUSE but as per performance level, Ubuntu 
is definitely neck-to-neck with this distro. 9. Hardware Support: Both
 these distros support best hardware possible. But there is a trouble 
with Ubuntu as it doesn't provide advanced problem detection tools but 
OpenSUSE brings in all of them with utter perfection. 10. OpenSUSE best for multimedia: You
 may be looking for your own set up and if you are multimedia guy then 
OpenSUSE is the best option for you with all the handy tools and the 
SuSE studio. </div>

Dart This was 
created by Google to counter the weakeness that comes on JavaScript when
 it works with web applications in large numbers. The Dart language, 
Google hopes, will become the new vernacular of web programming. It uses
 uses C-like syntax and keywords. One significant difference, however, 
is that while JavaScript is a prototype-based language, objects in Dart 
are defined using classes and interfaces, as in C++ or Java. Dart also 
allows programmers to optionally declare variables with static types. 
 
Ceylon This 
language is being developed by Gavin King who has denied that the 
language being developed at Red Hat, is meant to be a "Java killer." 
Among King's gripes are Java's verbose syntax, its lack of first-class 
and higher-order functions, and its poor support for meta-programming. 
In particular, he's frustrated with the absence of a declarative syntax 
for structured data definition, which he says leaves Java "joined at the
 hip to XML." Ceylon aims to solve all these problems. Go Google
 is understood to have created a programming language called Golang, or 
Go. This, say some tech analysts, might just end up replacing Java 
altogether. This language is a general-purpose programming code that 
works on everything from application development to systems programing. 
While it is still a work in progress, and the language specification may
 change, developers can actually start working with it today itself. F# This
 has been popular for a long time with computer scientists and academia.
 F# (pronounced "F-sharp"), is a Microsoft language that has been 
designated to be both functional and practical. Given the fact that it 
is a first-class language on the .Net Common Language Runtime (CLR), it 
can access all of the same libraries and features as other CLR 
languages, such as C# and Visual Basic. Opa Web 
development is too complicated. Even the simplest web app requires 
countless lines of code in multiple languages: HTML and JavaScript on 
the client, Java or PHP on the server, SQL in the database, and so on. 
Opa doesn't replace any of these languages individually. Rather, it 
seeks to eliminate them all at once, by proposing an entirely new 
paradigm for Web programming. In an Opa application, the client-side UI,
 server-side logic, and database I/O are all implemented in a single 
language, Opa. Fantom Should you develop your 
applications for Java or .Net? If you code in Fantom, you can take your 
pick and even switch platforms midstream. That's because Fantom is 
designed from the ground up for cross-platform portability. The Fantom 
project includes not just a compiler that can output bytecode for either
 the JVM or the .Net CLI, but also a set of APIs that abstract away the 
Java and .Net APIs, creating an additional portability layer. Zimbu This
 particular language takes its particles and components from languages 
across the board and is the brainchild of Bram Moolenaar. He was the 
creator of the Vim text editor. The language is slated to be fast, 
concise, portable, and easy-to-read. Its syntax is unique and 
idiosyncratic, yet feature-rich. It uses C-like expressions and 
operators, but its own keywords, data types, and block structures. It 
supports memory management, threads, and pipes. Portability is a key 
concern. Although Zimbu is a compiled language, the Zimbu compiler 
outputs ANSI C code, allowing binaries to be built only on platforms 
with a native C compiler. X10 This is a parallel 
processing language that works was once a specialised niche of software 
development. However, with the increase in multicore CPUs and 
distributed computing, today's programming languages aren't keeping pace
 with the trend. This is why IBM Research is developing X10, a language 
designed specifically for modern parallel architectures, with the goal 
of increasing developer productivity "times 10." X10 handles concurrency
 using the partitioned global address space (PGAS) programming model. 
Code and data are separated into units and distributed across one or 
more "places," making it easy to scale a program from a single-threaded 
prototype (a single place) to multiple threads running on one or more 
multicore processors. haXe haXe (pronounced 
"hex") is more than just any random portable language. It is a 
multi-platform language, which is capable of targeting diverse operating
 environments, that range from native binaries to interpreters and 
virtual machines. It can be used by developers and then compiled into 
object code, JavaScript, PHP, Flash/ActionScript, or NekoVM bytecode 
today. Chapel This is a brilliant language to work
 with in a world characterised by high-performance computing. The 
languge was designed with supercomputing and clustering in mind, and is 
part of Cray's Cascade Program, an ambitious high-performance computing 
initiative funded in part by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project 
Agency (DARPA). Chapel's syntax draws from numerous sources. In addition
 to the usual suspects (C, C++, Java), it borrows concepts from 
scientific programming languages such as Fortran and Matlab. Its 
parallel-processing features are influenced by ZPL and High-Performance 
Fortran, as well as earlier Cray projects.

Wipro is planning to invest 
huge sum for setting up a separate business practice for open source. 
For this, the company devices to have at least 10,000 strong team 
determined by the massive changes in the technological space and few of 
its major clients like Citigroup, which work largely up on 
non-proprietary software. 
 
By adopting this practice of
 open source, Wipro, the third-largest software exporter will be able to
 bring down its operating costs by up to 20 per cent within next two 
years. It would also help them with faster implementation of the 
projects. During last week, while announcing Wipro's second 
quarter results, CEO TK Kurien mentioned that they’ve been making 
investments to develop advisory capability and also for creation of IP 
to gain impressive stature in this space. The open source 
practice of Wipro has been developed under its Business Application 
Services division, by which company aims at developing open source 
platform to enable online services across a large scale. Wipro will now 
reportedly shift its focus to applications, infrastructure, involving 
databases, cloud technologies, operating systems and software defined 
infrastructure There are number of companies which are 
increasingly deploying open source technology in an order to fulfil 
their information technology requirements and thereby removing the high 
licesing costs and vendors charges. The Open source technology has 
helped in improving the IT application adaptability and have also 
assisted in slashing down the costs and thereby forcing the homegrown 
companies like TCS and Infosys to improve their open source offerings. The
 founder of the industry's first strategic consultancy think-tank on 
Open Source, Andrew Aitken said that the two major reasons in addition 
to cost saving behind adaption of open source platform were to increase 
deployment of cloud models, analytics and Internet of Things (IoT), and 
other being the legacy passage from traditional proprietary vendors to 
open source. Wipro will go on a hiring spree at Open Source India 2014. To apply, click <a href="http://osidays.com/osidays/osi_registration/osidays_register.php" target="_blank">here</a>!!! http://osidays.com/osidays/osi_registration/osidays_register.php

1. Beginning Ubuntu
 means 'humanity towards others' in Xhosa and Zulu language. Mark 
Shuttleworth contributed lot of efforts to the development of Debian. He
 came with an idea of developing user friendly, feature rich Linux 
desktop distribution. He self-funded the early stage of company. 2. First Mark
 Shuttleworth sold his company, Thawte to VeriSign for half a billion 
dollars in 1999. He used the money to fund development of Ubuntu. The 
first public version of Ubuntu 4.10 was released in October, 2004. It 
was called Warty Warthog. 3. Growth The word 
spread very quickly amongst open source community. People started 
testing Ubuntu. The OS got very positive reviews for the early 
development stage version of the OS. Distrowatch website, which used to 
rank open source softwares, ranked Ubuntu on the first rank in the list 
of open source Linux distributions. 4. Flavours Ubuntu
 started using different desktop environments, Xubuntu (XFCE), Kubuntu 
(KDE) and Lubuntu (LXDE) gained popularity in no time. Plenty of 
official, non official flavors of Ubuntu were produced after that. Like,
 Ubuntu Kylin, Edubuntu, Mythubuntu etc. 5. On Top Ubuntu
 had no real rival back then. It didn't take much time for Ubuntu to 
become most popular desktop Linux distribution. It was the best option 
for newbie Linux users, and even those who were planning to migrate from
 Windows. 6. Mint In 2011, Linux Mint gained 
popularity amongst users. Mint offered more customization options than 
Ubuntu and it had rich user interface as compared to Ubuntu. This is 
when Ubuntu found it's real competitor. 7. Unity Unity
 desktop interface was considered as major reason for the failure of 
Ubuntu. This custom build desktop user interface was the reason behind 
the success of GNOME 2.8 but, according to Ubuntu criticizers, Unity was
 poorly designed and it seemed unfinished. 8. Privacy More
 polished and usable version of Unity was introduced in Ubuntu 12.04. 
But in in Ubuntu 12.10, the shopping lens was added. And Ubuntu again 
became the attack of criticizers due to user privacy invasion. 9. Mobility Last
 few years, Canonical has moved it's focus from desktop distribution 
development to mobile platforms. Company released Ubuntu Touch last 
year. Ubuntu Touch also works on Android devices. Company is working 
with some manufacturers in development of devices running Ubuntu Touch 
out of the box.

Basics of GPS: GPS
 works when signals gets transmitted from satellites in space and get 
received by receivers on or near Earth. Timing is used to determine the 
distance of each satellite which gives the knowledge of satellite 
positions on earth. The satellites also transmit information about their
 positions and the receiver becomes able to calculate the distance from 
the satellite to the receiver. A fully operational GPS satellite system 
features 24 operational satellites and the satellites are in one of the 
six orbits. Each orbit has four satellites at 55 degree to the 
equatorial plane. It ensures that between five to eight satellites can 
be accessed any time at any point on the Earth. If GPS receivers 
are economically manufactured then they can provide information to 
within a number of metres. GPS receivers are now fitted to motor 
vehicles and private individuals also use these receivers to a large 
extent these days. Primarily GPS is used for military navigation system. Know about GPS satellites and receivers: Satellites
 keep orbiting above the Earth and heavy controls are kept on these 
satellites as if these satellites are at error, then the final results 
will also be mistaken. An atomic clock is kept in the satellites to 
ensure accurate time signals. GPS satellites have a design life of ten 
years but still spares are held in orbit so that unexpected failures 
don't cost much. GPS receivers use digital signalling processing 
techniques. Transmissions from satellites are done through spectrum 
technology and the signals are correlated by signal processors to 
recover data. The GPS receivers in use must be kept in open as they 
can't operate inside buildings. How GPS receivers work: GPS
 receivers follow certain processes in their functions. 2-D 
Trilateration, 3-D Trilateration and GPS calculations are some of the 
processes that GPS receivers follow while functioning. Radio waves are 
used in GPS receivers for electromagnetic energy. At a particular time 
the satellite begins transmitting a long digital pattern and when the 
signal reaches the receiver its transmission of the pattern lags a bit. 
This measurement can be done through clocks and nanoseconds on those 
clocks, rather atomic clocks. GPS control network: GPS
 satellites are monitored and controlled from the ground and contact 
with each satellite is highly required to maintain the level of 
performance. Information from remote stations is passed to the main 
operational centre at Colorado Springs and then proper assessment of the
 information is done. Orbit and clock performance are closely monitored. GPS signal basics and signal data: GPS
 satellites transmit variety of signals and there are two main 
frequencies which are used in the transmission of the GPS signal. GPS 
signal carries three types of data: Pseudo-random code, Ephemeris data 
and Almanac data. GPS Applications: As we said 
earlier, GPS is primarily used as military navigational assistance. 
American Department of Defense runs GPS but now it's applied for several
 commercial purposes all across the globe like aircraft navigation, ship
 navigation and any kind of location information. Cost effective GPS 
receivers are available these days and they are integrated into satNav 
systems in motor vehicles so that navigation becomes easy without any 
additional map. GPS has brought a revolution in global navigation
 as before its arrival, navigation systems were limited to local spheres
 without any kind of accuracy or flexibility.
