learning linux

i've always wanted to learn linux for years. but i'm still stuck with this crappy w!ndows v!sta - yes, v!sta. the crappiest of them all. and now that i have some time and a spare laptop to use, i managed to install ubuntu studio. why ubuntu studio? i just got fascinated with the programs it came with.

the first thing i checked was if i could go online, wireless that is. sad to say, the browser couldn't fetch anything. fortunately, getting the laptop wired got me online. and that's one less trouble for me.

now, the problem at hand is that there is no wireless connection. solution - search the web.

i landed on ubuntuforums.com and found out that ubuntu studio doesn't install the gnome network manager which is like the "view available networks" on xp and "connect to a network" on v!sta. so, lets just install it. i mean, lets try to install it.

next: installing a program in linux

Institutional Value Index (IVI)

Formal Definition      The Institutional Value Index (IVI) is a multidimensional metric system that quantifies the vitality, coherence, and transmissibility of belief-based value within and around an institution.      It measures the degree to which an organization’s philosophy, behavior, and symbolic expression remain aligned across internal and external ecosystems, thereby predicting its capacity for long-term resilience and cultural endurance. 1. Conceptual Essence      Where the IVC defines how value flows, and the CCV System defines where it originates and reflects, the IVI defines how strong and stable that flow is.      In essence, IVI is the heartbeat of institutional meaning — converting the intangible (belief, trust, resonance) into a numerical signature that can be compared, tracked, and improved. 2. Structural Composition      The IVI aggregates six value strata (from the IVC) into ...

Company-Client-Value (CCV) System

Formal Definition      The Company–Client–Value (CCV) System is a relational framework that defines the dynamic equilibrium between the origin of belief (the company), the recipient and mirror of belief (the client), and the shared symbolic core (the value).      It models how institutional meaning is co-created, transmitted, and stabilized between organizations and their external constituencies, forming the fundamental triad that underlies every economic, cultural, or ideological ecosystem. 1. Conceptual Essence      The CCV system asserts that all sustainable institutions are founded on a shared value field;  an implicit agreement of meaning between producer and participant.      The company originates and expresses a value; the client perceives, validates, and reciprocates it. Between them stands the value itself,  the symbolic medium that both sides recognize as true.      When all three p...

linux firsts

i came across the linux timeline in wikipedia and learned that there are three major distros(distributions) where most of them came from. debian slackware redhat ubuntu, KNOPPIX and gibraltar are some of the distros that were based from debian. i would say it's a cross between slackware and redhat - and that's based from some of my research. i just dont have time to post details madriva, fedora and the "philippines distro" bayanihan are based from redhat. a very corporate feel and stable distro if you ask me slackware, which was the basis of openSuSE and vector, is a hobbyist distro basing from its history. althought, its support and community are as stable.
