Frugalware 0.4 what a nice distro!

Filed under
Linux

Frugalware is almost an unknown distro (at least for me) but when I read a while about Frugalware 0.4 I feel yeaah....this is a distro what I looking for.
Then I go to my friend who has a broadband internet connection and download Frugalware 0.4 DVD vrsion.

After finished I quickly jump to the next step....the most important step.....install Frugalware on my PC!!!
Installation is well nice stages....all seems to be simple.For the first time I choose to install as "normal" selection of packages it means it will install automatically without being have to choose one by one what libraries and etc I should install.

then after 45 minutes installation finished(on AMD sempron64 2500 512Mb) quiet long enough but it make sense since I choose almost all packages and also a lot window manager such as GNOME (2.14.0),XFCE(4.2.3),and KDE (3.5.1).
Now the moment of truth....going in to the desktop!!! I choose KDE since I really like it too much Smile
WOW....Frugalware is great!!! everything is work fast and low memory and processor usage and the most important things for me is Frugalware DVD version is likely the most complete distro since I dont have a fast internet connection so this is important Smile it has A complete multimedia packages and support a lot such as MP3,W32codec,DVD playback etc, Office suite with latest OpenOffice 2.0.2, graphics full support, Support for a lot of VGA driver including ATI and Nvidia driver.

Frugalware seems like Slackware but with a lot of tuning such as there are Package Manager and automounting CD/DVD/USB also Frugalware use Kernel 2.6.16

At the end I just can say "Simplicity,performance,stability,multimedia and design is absolutely brought by Frugalware"

  • 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.
