PC Linux OS : Radically Simple

Filed under
PCLOS

My first experience with a Linux system was back in the year 2006 with Opensuse 10.0. It was the very first Linux based operating system that u have used. Over the last few years have used many Linux distros, many be due to the fact that I like to test and take a look at what other distributions offer when they make a new release. In this manner I have used Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, Mandriva & Knoppix but I have never used PC Linux Os. From the above distributions that I have tried, I mostly install them and test them. When I do test them I have a feeling that there is something missing. So after trying out there releases I always tend to come back and settle down to Mandriva. It has been my distribution of choice for the last 1 year. However very recently a friend of mine told me that PC Linux Os is a very good distribution and that I should try it. He also told me that it has very good hardware support, not that I have encountered any hardware errors in the past with any Linux distribution that i’ve tried, I downloaded and installed PC Linux OS on my laptop, which is an Acer Travelmate 6292 which has an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz Processor and 2GB of RAM. After a couple days using PCLinuxOS 2010.1 I must say that it ranks number one in my list of favourite Linux distributions.

FEATURES

The PCLinuxOS 2010.1 list of FEATURES is very impressive. Nothing surprising there, all feature lists are when any new release comes out. That’s probably why testing a release after reading such lists may result in a bit of a letdown, for the end result usually never matches the expectation. This time around it was pretty much the opposite, which is very significant considering I tested Ubuntu 10.04 just days ago.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
