“When AA Gymnastiar can make a formula for the jema’ahnya 3M, 3M formula I also have to switch to Linux or Opensource Using a very socialist in the field of IT.”

Since students always have some lecturers to intensify the spirit of Go Opensource, conditions and circumstances we are always forced to return to Microsoft. It’s hard to leave the mansion with everything in it, if we URLs umpanya OS (Operating System) Windows which we use as a home. It was windows as a luxury home complete with servants and a fantastic facility. Who wants to move out of the house, let alone move a new house that is not necessarily the existing facilities we can use. This may cause some people are reluctant to move to Linux.

But deep in the heart most often voiced, what we do with the operating system of “pay” this true? And we’re only doing piracy of intellectual property of others? Buzz is getting louder and more complex when I start a pioneering career in the field of building software. So great was my concern when the products I make with some difficulty, should fall into the hands of someone else, then at one another use for commercial purposes. This is one trend I started to switch to Linux.

To switch to linux, it’s very heavy and it takes sacrifice, but this sacrifice will remain valuable as our intellectual course. Why? Because by understanding prosedurenya linux with all the hassle, we have an additional point of learning more from it. In addition, we will better understand how in the world where a new process called open source world, where we will be in a new community which must dipakari by Magnate IT in the world. Therefore, in this new world we can discuss all kinds of problems we encounter and find solutions to common interests. So we have to face the consequences when it should switch to Open Source is, learn how to stay at home / the new world.

For starters, I offer accurate formula named 3M to start switching to Linux:

1. Begin to install the Linux OS with a double system (Install linux and windows). This was done so that we can still compare (find similarities) between the work undertaken in previous Windows, with the work done in Linux. Surely this should not be double-OS virtual course (run another os with), but in a way partings (full install on the hard disk with a particular partition).

2. Finding and selecting a replacement tools (applications or facilities used) you work on Linux is the same function with the tools on windows. There are many choices of applications, but try to choose the right. Suppose you need entertainment with video and audio player, then you can use Amarox, XMMS, VLC, and totem. You work in the administrative field? not have to bother with Linux, because there are a versatile OpenOffice. You are someone who likes to fiddle with the computer system of the brain, in linux there sysviinit and sum. Or you are an IT practitioner who move slightly with the making of an application? Package SUN JAVA, C + +, Pascal, Fortran, AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP), is also there. And many other examples, which certainly will replace facilities in Windows first.

3. Familiarize themselves with the methods in Linux. This stage is hard enough when you do not have the spirit of opensource, but this is a very mengasikkan when you are happy with the opensource world. Why? because as I mentioned above, we can share our experiences and grievances, so that learning is not we aja kok. His name is also open source world, without any discussion forums, seem to be empty of course. Then, go to the forums rajinlah associated with opensource for your Linux OS, so get more knowledge.

Hopefully this tip can push all of us to learn new things in the world of IT. So the world can be more advanced IT Indonesia continues over time. Regards.
