Yoxos On Demand: Create Your Own Eclipse Installation

I wrote a article about how to install eclipse on ubuntu machines but it sometimes painfull to install from repositories.You can reach article from here . But Kubilay Onur Güngör commented a yoxos system that you can create your own eclipse installation by choosing packages for your eclipse.And also you can download other people’s created eclipse installations by searching profiles tab.I think it is a good project for eclipse community instead of searching packages and try to install and it comes with yoxos update system which is better than the default eclipse update system.

Installing Eclipse Ubuntu 9.04

Installing Eclipse in Ubuntu is very easy procedure but sometimes openJDK generate some unexpected problem.So instead of using openJDK you can download sunJDK.Here are the steps that help you to install eclipse in ubuntu linux.

1. sudo apt-get install eclipse (install eclipse ide,if you wanna remove it use sudo apt-get autoremove eclipse)

2. sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin sun-java5-bin sun-java5-fonts(java run time enviroment files)

3. sudo update-alternatives --config java(update the JDK) /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java (select this line number in console)
4. gksudo gedit /etc/eclipse/java_home(make sunJDK first line which means first JDK lookup)
5. gedit ~/.eclipse/eclipserc and add this line JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/

If you have problem while updating eclipse thats probably cause of openJDK or the server you use to update.Change JDK or server.

Fedora 11 Ready To Download

One of the widely used linux distro Fedora released new version Fedora 11 to users.New Fedora released come with two different desktop enviroment Gnome and KDE.New features on this release are

1. Fast Booting – As they said booting to splash screen for desktop user takes only 20 seconds
2. Ext4 File System-Latest file system for linux enviroment with Ext4 you can have file systems of up to 1 EB (ExaByte) and up to 16 TB (TeraByte) sized files. Even if you’re not running enterprise-sized databases, though Ext4 enables faster disk performance and better drive space management than the previous Ext3 default. This is one of those changes that are invisible to most users, but the overall effect is to boost your computer’s overall speed.
3. Better graphics
4. Synaptics touchpad improvements
5. DNSSEC. Linux, as a standalone operating system, is much more secure than most operating system. Anything though that works with the Internet is vulnerable to attacks on the Internet infrastructure. Recently, though, attacks against the DNS (Domain Name System), the Internet’s address system, have become more common. To help secure your connection to the Internet, Fedora now includes DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) by default. Since I use Fedora, and its relatives RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and CentOS for some of my Internet servers, I really appreciate this added level of security.

These are the most important features on Fedora 11 OS.If you are a Fedora user or new to linux enviroment you can start with Fedora 11.You can go this link and select best release for your machine.

Switching To Debian

As you notice in the headline i am switching my linux distro to Debian.I am currently about 2 year Ubuntu user.Ubuntu is a best solution for who is new to linux OS.It is easy to use , has good GUI for the end user ,and best part is it is a debian based distro(means it uses wide variety of debian packages) and also uses my favorite desktop enviroment Gnome.But there is a problem for who wants to use Ubuntu for long time ,it is not so stable comparing to the Debian.And after sometime it become kind of annoying dealing with Ubuntu.For novice user it is not a good choice to continue with Ubuntu , it is better to switch a distro which is more stable , and when word “stable” come to mind one of the best known stable distro is Debian.And Debian is a base of most of the big software companies and web sites like Google,Slashdot.Now i am formatting Ubuntu see you with new post from Debian…For who wants to download Debian follow this link and here is the release notes of latest version.
