Make friends with Linux

This blog was originally just talking about the tricks and software in Windows environment. From now onwards (hopefully), Linux will be posting additional material to me. Let's get acquainted with linux.

A Short History Linux
What is Linux? Linux is a kernel created by Linus Torvalds. So what's the story until Linus created the kernel of this.

Linus Benedict Torvalds, born in Helsinki, Finland on 26 December 1969. Linus entered the University of Helsinki Department of Computer Science. Linus gets a lesson on the campus of Unix and C Programming, Linus bought his first PC. In his time Unix operating system which is very famous and very attractive interest. Unfortunately this is very expensive operating systems and source code is freely available. Then as an alternative, Linus tries MINIX operating system (UNIX Minimal) which is a simple clone of the UNIX operating system.

MINIX was created by Dr. Andrew Tanembaum to teach students about the internal workings of the operating system. But Dr. Andrew Tanembaum has no intention to develop a MINIX. MINIX source code is provided in the book of their own and the floppy disk that can be purchased and of course has the distribution rights.

Because the MINIX source code that is not free in the person who tinkers, make Linus thinking to create an operating system similar to MINIX, but do not have limitations for development or copyright which means it is free. Linus finally managed to make a kernel (core operating system) that can be used but still have very limited capabilities.

After that Linus send emails expecting cooperation programming community. Message from Linus provides exceptional response. Great programmers develop hand in hand-made operating system kernel to be an operating system that is ready for use.
Even until now programmers from various communities go hand in hand to develop this operating system, so do not be surprised if up to now circulate a lot of Linux distros. Some are free and some are paid.

For the next post about Linux distributions are known.

nb : the n-parameter function to display the IP address rather than host name.

At the proto seen the protocol used. Local Address is the IP address that I use.Foreign Address is the IP address that connected with me. Number after the IPaddress is a number of open ports. State to explain the status of the connection.
Automated way is to use an application program that functions for network monitoring.One I like is CallerIP. Unfortunately I have not been to the serial number or crack for this program. So you have to pay to get the full version of this program. If you want the try can download trial versions (I provided a link to download below).

CallerIP course has many advantages compared to netstat. It could be said CallerIP is an advanced version of the netstat program. The advantages of netstat is provided free by the operating system.

In addition to having the 'state' which shows the connection status, callerIP can also see the timing of the connection and type of connection whether the connection is made ​​from computers outside (out) or connection of external computer to your computer (In). In addition, types of applications that make connections are also displayed on the 'application'.

You can know information or meaning of any column by clicking on the header of the column and the column will bring up an explanation window. And of course CallerIP map showing the location of the world from the connection.

After that you can find more information about IP addresses that you want to search for information. The trick here.
