Tiguin Linux a dream come true.

After receiving immense love, appreciation, encouragement & support from users of Tornado ThinClient OS across India, "The Team" is highly enthusiastic towards offering gratitude at the launch of Tiguin Linux OS.

While the team mates are busy in development promotion and lot more, on the other hand people in Mumbai, the econimic capital of India are showing deep interest for holding the launch of Tiguin Linux to mark yet another moment in history of Linux computing in India.

Analysis of the forms received for launch of Tiguin and request for Tiguin DVDs magnifies the idea of Linux computing to a more clear picture.

It will be a real show for development & support team to heartily satisfy every question raised in any mind.

Looking forward to the highest satisfaction of all Tiguin Linux users.

2X Client on Thin Clients - Save Software Licensing Cost

Many organisations configure 2X server on Windows Server to manage applications with 2X and allow their users to use applications using 2X Client. On the other hand their users use 2X Clients on their client machine to connect to the server and use applications made available by 2X server. In this scenario both the Server and Client are Windows based systems.

Such Organisations can reduce their client Software Licensing Cost by using Linux Thin Clients and avoid Fat Client OS Licensing Cost. 2X Client can be easily run in a 1GB Thin Client OS that people know as Tornado Thin Client OS.

Tornado Development team offers simple patches for their Thin Client users to use 2X Client in thin client as easily as how they do in Windows based Fat Clients. Functionality of 2X Client in Tornado OS is pretty similar to that of 2X Client in Windows Fat Client. (watch this VIDEO)

Tornado OS and Addon for 2X Client is available for Download at http://www.tornado-os.com

Tornado, smallest thin client OS for almost any hardware

 Almost every Thin Client OS is customized for a particular Hardware. It can run on a specific Motherboard / CPU set, there has to be a specific Display Adapter and so on.

Tornado offers a totally brand new experience with fantastic hardware support for thin client. The 1 GB foot print of OS supports almost any type of Motherboard, CPU, Graphics Adapter.

This Small but powerful OS offers support for different embedded applications in thin client. Applications like SAP-Client, 2X-Client, Citrix-Client, VPN-Client, Office Applications, Web-Browser and many more are easily made available in this small size OS.

Moreover, inbuilt & plug-n-play support for several printers from HP, Canon, Epson, Samsung, Brother, Wipro, and many more avoids users to every now and then do big processes for installing printers in thin clients.

ffmpeg unmet dependencies error in ubuntu 12.04

While I was trying to install ffmpeg

apt-get says it is already installed

but I was not able to fire ffmpeg as command

so I tried to remove it and then install it again

it said unmet dependencies

then I added 2 repositories to my sources.list file

nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ffmpeg.list
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main

then I installed 3 packages

Tally on Linux - The dream comes true

We have missed out 26th of January 2011 to make this announcement which we are really upset about since this article is all about freedom of software usability. But today is also not a bad day "Indians are breaking the world cup shell".

We have respect for Tally which has been serving as one of the best Accounting Software in Indian Market especially in SMEs people have blind faith and belief in Tally. Tally pricing i.e. Single user for Rs. 13,500 and Unlimited Multi-user for 40,500 is perfectly pricing for Indian market. There is no question about it. But the question here is why should we pay extra 20-22 thousand rupees, on OS and basic applications, per machine to just use Tally.

Just for using Tally we purchase a License of Microsoft Windows (Rs. 8000), Ms. Office (Rs. 12,000) and Antivirus (Rs. 1,000) per desktop pc (price is approximate). Why cant we get something like tally for Linux.

All other alternatives like Text Editors, Office Applications, Multimedia Applications, Internet Applications are easily available with Linux. It is just because of Tally that many single users and multiusers have to purchase Proprietary software and invest huge amount on software licensing (or join software piracy in that matter).

Since last 1.5 to 2 years we have been getting lot of enquiries from people who want to port Tally in any way on the Linux. People have tried Wine to port tally on Linux but Tally with wine doesn't perform in a way that it can be used for serious work in enterprise environment. Tally on Linux ? have always been a question.

Slowly and steadily we are able to gather a group of people, who now believe in open-source terminology and technology and who are interested in developing an open-source alternative of Tally. Our planning till now will definitely lead us in creating an open-source Alternative which will exactly work like Tally.

Next big question is migrating old tally data to new open-source alternative. This will be taken care of by a team of 17 tdl programmers willing to work on open-source technology and provide people with a badly needed accounting software that can easily run on Tally with previous data intact.

Since the project is open-source we cannot promise for a date or month of release. But most probably by March 2012 we would be coming up with the first beta release which will be made available to people through Free website downloads. Soon our dream of Tally on Linux will rise over the horizons of Computing World.

This project will also be a source of study for people willing to work on open-source. Technology we invite more and more people for the same.

Set screen resolution from grub in Linux

We know that in Linux VGA Properties are handled by xorg.

But if we need to control the VGA resolution before the control goes over to xorg
it can be easily done from the Grub

There are different Grub VGA Modes that can be enabled from the kernel boot up line in Grub

This property can be set with vga=xxx where xxx is the value that denotes different colour depth and screen resolution.

This property is used by editing the kernel boot-up line in Grub
Edit the kernel boot up line when grub screen arrives at the startup

and at the end of the kernel boot up line just add vga=xxx. different values that can replace xxx for different purposes are listed below.

Colour depth	640x480	800x600	1024x768	1280x1024	1400x1050	1600x1200
8 (256)	769	771	773	775
15 (32K)	784	787	790	793
16 (65K)	785	788	791	794	834	884
24 (16M)	786	789	792	795
