JULinux Emergency Tactical Prepper Edition

The purpose of this distribution release, is what would you do if you had no access to internet, phone, or other communication ?
* How would you "activate your software" from Microsoft ?
* How would you search for survival help on Google ?
* How would you get more packages and install them ?
* How would you entertain yourself, to keep calm ?

JULinux Emergency Tactical Prepper Edition has the answers to all of those tough questions that Preppers and Survivalists need to answer.





Currently you can download the Beta and try it out.
You can also find JULinux on Facebook and Youtube

Here I am frustrating myself with the development.

The finished version, along with the Offline repository DVD images should be available soon.  If you would like to lend a hand, please go to the JULinux Facebook page, and comment.

JULinux Ultimate Edition I think it sounds cool personally and I like the beta of it so far...

I work with High-Availability Servers on a daily basis. We have to remotely access them with Windows desktops. We're always having problems with the desktops. At home, I've gotten to the point I would like something that is similar, but actually reliable. I've always known Linux as being reliable, JULinux I can easily migrate my wife and family to, without having to retrain them. As stated by others, I too am impressed at how fast it installs compared to other DISTRO's, even faster that MINT (which I had tried on the same Laptop, just prior to installing JULinux). It's very user friendly and the menus are easy to understand. It quickly connected to my printer and EZblueServer. I'm very satisfied. Definitely something I can use at home, and possibly at work. :-)

Have tried MOST of the other Linux distros. JULinux is the BEST by far! Download it. Try it. You won't be disappointed!

Macinotical?

Picture from: http://www.skuggen.com/?p=1922





What do you get when you take (inspired by Macintosh) + Canotical + and Ubuntu (what use to be a community distribution) and put them together? You get Macinotical or Ubuntu 10.04. When people using JULinux upgrade to 10.04 the most noticeable difference is that while it still looks and acts like Windows the minimise, restore, and close button switch sides on the screen even if some how you missed the fact that the startup changed as well. So why does Ubuntu keep changing their boot? Maybe they are sick and tired of people like me coming along, cleaning up their bugs, and remastering Ubuntu into a distribution that works. I don't know.

I've had people call me and ask why Justin does your JULinux distribution work right and Ubuntu suck? Well maybe that's because I fix all the bugs I can find. What really gets me is why other people who are approved as official remasters don't fix these bugs. One bug is Pulse Audio. Just having it can cause tons of problems for people with the wrong hardware not to mention you loose control over your audio hardware. So in this instance I revert to something that I know works on every system. (ALSA). It's little things like this that add up to a very happy user.

One thing to note is that this year Apple made more sales than Microsoft. Ya that's right! So maybe that's why Ubuntu has switched gears and gone in the Mac Attack Direction.

It's almost impossible anyway to convert a Macintosh user to Linux. Usually I don't even try.

In this one case I may make an exception. One of my cousins who uses an Apple Laptop came and showed me his system was unable to attach / upload anything to the net. Didn't matter if he used Safari or Firefox. WOW! So If Linux can run his games there really isn't a reason for him to keep using his Mac OS.

Most of the time however most people will take their Macs to the grave with them. I'm not sure why. Personally I hate Macs especially the new ones that have those cheap quad core Intel heating elements inside. But of course you need to pay over $1,000 to get one. That way you can heat your apartment while using your computer.

So then we must ask the question is all this "Green" or environmentally friendly? Linux uses very low system resources to do a task. Windows Vista and 7 however use tons of hardware resources (check the minimum hardware requirements) to do the same thing Linux does. While Macs run ok they sure put out a lot of heat and use a lot of electricity thanks to Intel.

That's why (I'm not selling anything here) you should buy a computer (from me or someone else) that has an AMD processor, NVIDIA graphics, and Linux installed to be as environmentally friendly as you can if you believe in being green.

Another Reason Why Not To Use Microsoft Products.

Well I've read about it but never actually seen it until today.

I visited a customer running Windows XP on two computers. They are using Wild Blue Internet (a dish). The ping rates were at 1500ms to Google.com (usual pings on this type of connection are between 150 - 500ms) So the first thing I did was reboot the PC and boot a Live Linux environment where no Windows problems could interfere. Still I could not get a solid
connection.

After calling the local Wild Blue Tech and asking him what to do I unplugged the router, plugged the computer directly into the modem, rebooted both the modem and the computer. What I found next was very disturbing to Wild Blue and Direct TV. The modem was in bridged mode and neither the installer, Wild Blue, or Direct TV did this.

After getting threw to Direct TV (can't call Wild Blue directly for this account) it was explained to me that the user had exceeded their uploading bandwidth for that month. WAIT! First of all don't most of us download too much stuff and not upload it? Second of all the only use for this computer was E-Mail, web browsing, and typing / printing.

Figured it out yet?

The first guess the Direct TV tech had was that a torrent client was in
use. WRONG! My guess was a Zombie Virus was in use. Correct!

What is a Zombie Virus? Oh just a virus that takes over any and all Windows computers and does the hacker's bidding. In this case uploading. This hacker also managed to hack into and alter the settings of the user's router and modem! WOW!

Why would the hacker do this? Well by putting the modem into bridged mode this removes the main firewall / NAT from the network allowing the hacker transparent access into the network.

According to Direct TV only they or Wild Blue could get into the modem and program it remotely and you can't locally. There is no reset switch on the Modem either.

Because of this the customer's Internet was shut off by Wild Blue and they were penalized. We are attempting to get this taken off the account, get the modem reprogrammed, and we are dumping Windows for Linux putting the user back in control of their own computer.

So add this one to the list among the viruses that take out computer Bioses turning a Windows computer into a useless brick to be put into a landfill, identity theft, etc.

So just remember to keep using Windows because after all your use to using it. :D Or of course you could www.justuselinux.com

For those of you who are already using Linux and you feel left out all you need to do is:

Configure and install an SSH server to allow people to get into your computer.

Then you need to make sure to post your username and password for your computer publically online.

Then you can enjoy this same Windows experience in Linux.
