Re: Article #7 - Due February 25

I found this article on a way to install multiple applications on Ubunto at once using a command line utility called "Alfred". The article mentioned how this may be a good way for new users to be able to install some essential apps all from one place all at once. The list of apps isn't very long but it does include Chrome, Skype, Steam, VLC, and Handbrake just to name a few.I tried it out at home on Mint and it worked  good.

Re: Article #7 - Due February 25

This article talks about Microsoft's next Windows update which will be released in April 2019. Windows 10 19H1 will bring new updates to WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). This update will allow users to access Linux files from Windows. It will also  bring improvements to how you manage and configure your distros in the command line. With this update accessing Linux files from a Windows machine will be easy and you will also be able to use most Windows file commands on the Linux files.Straight from Windows you can find your distro's files by accessing \\wsl$\{distro name}\ where {distro name} is the name of a running distro.

Re: Article #7 - Due February 25

So last week I posted about an article that was against Mint 19. So this week I decided to post an article praising mint 19. He talks about how we can keep our Windows 10 and macOS High Sierra. For him it's Linux Mint 19. He says that out of the box Linux is more secure than Windows or macOS and that the upkeep of patches and fixes are almost a daily job. Where as his mint he has never worried about it. He also explains how mint can run as fast on a lesser system than Windows or mac. He goes as far to say you can run Mint on stuff you find in the dump.   He then talks about that the foundation of Mint is Ubuntu 18.04 and how that makes it a long support version. Then how easy it is to install things in mint and some of the tings that come with your desktop. Things like LibreOffice, Firefox, and Thunderbird. Well I could keep writing however, there would be know reason for you to read it yourself.

Re: Article #7 - Due February 25

This article talks about a new ransomware called BorontoK. BorontoK is encrypting web sites and asking for 20 bitcoin or approximately $75,000 ransom. This ransomware is known to infect Linux servers, but also maybe able to encrypt users runnings Windows. A sample of the ransomware has not been found as of yet. ​https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/b0r0nt0k-ransomware-wants-75-000-ransom-infects-linux-servers/

Windows will soon let you direct access to your Linux files. On April 10  the next edition of windows ten will allow you to access files in Linux. You will be able to copy and paste, edit them and acces them using power shell. -Juan https://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3071203/windows-10-19h1-direct-access-to-linux-files.

Re: Article #7 - Due February 25

In this article it talks about 10 reasons why to use Ubuntu Linux. It talks about how more secure it is then windows 10. You can get more creative in customizing everything on Linux. That it is open source and more reasons why people should use Ubuntu Linux.

Re: Article #7 - Due February 25

Last week the Linux Foundation launched the ELISA project, Enabling Linux in  Safety Applications. It's an open source project consisting of resources to help companies create and certify Linux-based safety-critical systems - systems whose failure could result in death, property damage, or environmental damage.

The project is working with companies like Arm, BMW, Kuka, Linutronix, and Toyota. The project is meant to across different industries to help establish data and tools necessary to show that a system meets safety standards for certification.

Re: Article #7 - Due February 25

This article is about The new Kali Linux 2019.1. The Kali Linux is an advanced testing Linux distribution used for penetration testing, ethical hacking, as well as network security assessments. It comes preinstalled with over 600 penetration testing programs which include nmap, Wireshark, John the ripper, Burp suite and OWASP ZAP. It was designed by two developers Mati and Devon both whom from the Offensive Security through the rewrite of backtrack which is their previous Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. Kalin Linux is based on Debian Wheezy, as well as is developed in a secure location with only a small number of trusted people that are allowed to commit packages, with each package being signed by the developer.

https://www.howtogeek.com/101288/how-to-schedule-tasks-on-linux-an-introduction-to-crontab-files/

You can schedule tasks through terminal within Linux using a built in program called crontab. There are several editors that are often pre-built into the Linux distro, in which you can open crontab. Once you have it opened, you can do just about anything you can set your heart to! You can launch applications, restart the computer, set it to sleep for a specific time, check and download updates and just about anything else.
