Mengenal Linux Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD (Bagian Kedua)

Silahkan baca lagi Bagian Pertama.

Pada Linux Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD ini, task bar terletak di sebelah atas layar. Pada bagian sebelah kanan terdapat tombol Shut Down dan beberapa informasi mengenai jam sistem, jenis koneksi, dll. yang mirip dengan system tray pada sistem operasi Windows. Pada bagian sebelah kiri terdapat beberapa tombol, yaitu Application, Places, dan System. Namun yang akan dibahas di sini adalah Application dan System.

Secara default, Application terdiri dari beberapa menu, yaitu Accessories (Calculator, Text Editor, Take Screenshot, dll), Games (Mahjongg, Gnometris, Chess, dll), Graphics (GIMP Image Editor, F-Spot Photo Manager, dll), Internet (Firefox Web Browser, Pidgin Internet Messenger, dll), Office (OpenOffice.org Word Processor, dll), Sound & Video (Movie Player, Rhythmbox Music Player, dll), dan Add/Remove. Untuk menghapus atau menambah menu-menu pada Application ini cukup lakukan klik pada tombol System – Preferences – Main Menu. Di situ terdapat beberapa menu lain yang dapat Anda pilih sesuai kebutuhan.

Pada bagian System terdapat sejumlah informasi berkenaan dengan hardware komputer. Di sini kita bisa melakukan berbagai konfigurasi terhadap sistem komputer. Salah satu menu yang terdapat pada bagian System ini adalah Partition Editor. Anda dapat masuk ke sini dengan mengklik System – Administration – Partition Editor. Setelah saya pelajari lebih lanjut, Partition Editor ini ternyata memiliki fungsi yang sama seperti Partition Magic pada sistem operasi Windows. Partisi pada hard disk bisa dibuat, dihapus, atau diubah ukurannya dengan mudah dan cepat. Pada bagian System ini juga Anda bisa melakukan pengaturan terhadap desktop komputer, misalnya mengaktifkan screensaver. Linux Ubuntu 7.10 telah menyediakan puluhan screensaver themes yang bisa Anda pilih sesuai dengan keinginan Anda.

Mengenal Linux Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD (Bagian Pertama)

Sistem Operasi Linux makin digemari oleh para pencinta komputer. Semakin banyak distro Linux yang sudah beredar dan digunakan, seperti Mandrake (Mandriva), RedHat, Suse, PCLinux, dan Ubuntu. Yang akan dibahas pada postingan kali ini adalah Linux Ubuntu versi 7.10 Live CD.

Kata "Ubuntu" berasal dari Afrika yang berarti "humanity to others". Linux Ubuntu adalah salah satu distro Linux yang akhir-akhir ini banyak dipakai karena GUI (Graphical User Interface)-nya yang user-friendly dan fasilitasnya yang tidak mengecewakan. Sebenarnya sudah lama saya ingin mencoba distro ini tapi belum kesampaian. Oya, CD Linux Ubuntu bisa Anda dapatkan secara gratis dengan memesan secara langsung ke situsnya (Baca lagi di sini.) Saya mendapatkan CD ini pada Januari 2008 lalu. Namun, saat saya ingin mencobanya di PC, programnya tidak mau jalan karena hardware tidak mendukung. Maklum PC tua! Nah, baru sekaranglah saya bisa mencobanya. Kali ini saya mencoba menjalankan Linux Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD menggunakan laptop Toshiba dengan prosesor dual core, RAM 1.5 GB dan harddisk 120 GB. Pada laptop ini sudah terinstal Sistem Operasi Windows XP SP2.

Untuk menjalankan Linux Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD, ubahlah prioritas booting di BIOS komputer Anda ke CD/DVD. Atau, jika PC atau laptop Anda mempunyai fasilitas Boot Menu, masuk saja ke situ dan langsung pilih CD/DVD pada saat mau booting. Setelah beberapa detik, sistem operasi Linux pun berhasil dijalankan secara mulus. Desktop dengan tampilan dominan warna coklat muda yang indah dan sejuk menghiasi layar. Sekarang saatnya menjelajahi Linux Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD!

Online business becomes more and more popular. Online transactions happen every day, involving so many people and companies. There are several kinds of payment that can be used for online business. One of them is using credit cards. By using this kind of payment, merchants will not lose more customers because as we know that many customers like to pay the products they buy by using credit cards.

And it also means that the profit of the company will reduce.

To be able to accept credit cards, a merchant need credit card machines. The machine must be able to process credit card sales in a fast and efficient way. Besides that, credit card machine must also be safe to use and it must fulfill the business needs of the merchant and also the customers who use credit cards. Security system of the machine must become the priority because nobody will make a transaction if it is not safe to do.

Mengkritik atau Mengkritisi?

Dalam berbagai wawancara kita sering mendengar orang mengatakan mengkritisi, seperti dalam kalimat Kita harus tetap mau mengkritisi pemerintah agar kinerja bertambah baik. Betulkah pemakaian kata mengkritisi itu?

Kritik (nomina) dari critics (Inggris) dapat diturunkan menjadi verba mengkritik, yang berarti ‘melakukan kritik’ atau ‘memberikan kritik’ (Inggris: to criticize atau to give critical opinion). Mengkritisi merupakan bentuk yang salah karena seharusnya mengkritik, yang berasal dari meng- + kritik, seperti juga meng- + gunting dan men- + cangkul. Walaupun kritik, gunting, dan cangkul berkelas nomina, menggunting, mengkritik, dan mencangkul berkelas verba.

Di dalam Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia ditemukan kata kritisi dan kritikus, tetapi nomina itu tidak dibentuk menjadi verba. Jadi, bentuk yang benar adalah meng + kritik (pangkal verba) --> mengkritik. Bukankah kita juga tidak mengatakan mempolitisi, mengakademisi, dan memusisi, tetapi mempolitik (kan), mengakademikan, dan memusik (kan).

Pemimpin dan Pimpinan

Kata pemimpin dan pimpinan sama-sama merupakan kata yang baku di dalam bahasa Indonesia. Kedua kata ini juga lazim digunakan dalam pemakaian bahasa Indonesia. Hanya saja, kata pemimpin dan pimpinan mempunyai makna yang berbeda.

Kata pemimpin mengandung dua makna, yaitu 'orang yang memimpin' dan 'petunjuk' atau 'pedoman'. Dari maknanya yang kedua dapat diketahui bahwa buku, misalnya, yang digunakan sebagai petunjuk atau pedoman, selain dapat disebut buku petunjuk atau buku pedoman, juga disebut buku pemimpin.

Kata pimpinan ada hubungannya dengan memimpin. Dalam hal ini, pimpinan merupakan hasil dari proses memimpin, seperti halnya binaan merupakan hasil dari proses membina atau bangunan merupakan hasil dari proses membangun. Kata pimpinan juga mempunyai arti lain, yaitu 'kumpulan para pemimpin'. Dalam pengertian itu, kata pimpinan lazim digunakan dalam ungkapan seperti rapat pimpinan, unsur pimpinan, atau pimpinan unit. Sejalan dengan itu, akhiran -an pada kata pimpinan bermakna 'kumpulan', yakni 'kumpulan para pemimpin', seperti lautan yang bermakna 'kumpulan laut' dan daratan 'kumpulan darat'.

Successful Authors

A great many successful authors have never taken a writing course or read a writing manual, and they wouldn't want to. Instead, they rely on common-sense measures to improve their writing skills. Realizing, for examples, that reading offers one good way to learn about using words, they are opt to go through several books and magazines a month and pick up pointers on style, organization, point of view and the like from each one. (Judith Appelbaum in How to Get Happily Published)


Banyak pengarang yang sukses tidak pernah mengikuti kursus menulis atau membaca buku manual menulis, dan mereka tidak akan mau. Sebagai gantinya, mereka mengandalkan ukuran-ukuran akal sehat untuk memperbaiki ketrampilan menulis mereka. Misalnya, menyadari bahwa membaca memberikan satu cara yang baik untuk mempelajari cara menggunakan kata-kata, mereka cenderung melahap beberapa buku dan majalah dalam satu bulan dan mengambil hal-hal penting mengenai gaya, pengaturan, sudut pandang dan hal-hal yang serupa dari satu sama lain.

Desire

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.
(Napoleon Hill)


Titik awal dari semua pencapaian/prestasi adalah keinginan. Ingatlah terus akan hal ini. Keinginan yang lemah membawa hasil yang lemah, seperti halnya api yang kecil menghasilkan panas yang juga kecil.
