Living Room / Re: How to Sell Linux to Schools

« Last post by Renegade on June 01, 2010, 09:09 AM »

I've long bitched about the fact that my taxes go to pay Microsoft's license fees (or Apple's) at public schools. If students and their parents want to pay for proprietary software for use in their private schools or homes, more power to them. But a public school should be free from the legal constraints, the tech support required, and as always, the costs involved. Once you buy into proprietary software, it's nearly impossible to get out of its subtle lock-in.

I haven't lived a year yet when property taxes (the method for funding public education throughout most of the US) didn't rise. Schools always claim they need more money than a Wall Street banker. Let's at least save money on software when free alternatives can do the same work.

-zridling (June 01, 2010, 07:31 AM)

Zane, I think that licensing fees are the least of worries for education. It simply isn't prioritized at all. Quite frankly, even the best education is pretty thin. It's pathetic. Companies profit from educated workers, but nobody is willing to pick up the tab for decent education. Anyways, that's really off topic.

But I don't really think that it needs to be an either/or situation. The fact is that if you work in the real world, you must be able to work on Windows (for most people). There are entire sectors where if you aren't on Windows/Microsoft, you simply aren't in the sector, period. So, in a lot of ways, it's simply practical to have Windows computers.

It's also practical to have Linux or Unix computers as well though. There are quite a few distros now that really are just about 100% prime time ready for the desktop. Ubuntu and Suse come to mind. Linux has a lot to offer in education, and it would be a shame to not have it available for computing classes.

I find it hard to find reasons to have Apple computers in education. They really don't offer much over Windows or Linux or BSD or whatever, and they are likely to start losing in some of their traditionally strong markets (NLE and DAW and other multimedia authoring/editing).

Why would anyone want to learn software that once they get out in the real world, they'll never use again? OpenOffice is a good example. While it does have its foot in some poor markets, it's simply not used widely in the corporate world. Has anyone ever received a "Calc file" from anyone, or did you receive an "Excel file"? Actually, OpenOffice is done pretty well, and the skills you learn in it will translate into Microsoft Office pretty easily, so it's not really all that great of an example in that aspect.

The author writes:

First of all, it is a matter of migrating schools to Linux, not selling them.

To me this seems like the wrong approach. Why all or nothing? Why not introduce Linux as an excellent operating system that students can do all kinds of cool things on?

He goes on to quote Richard Stallman, which pretty much sets the tone. Stallman is a zealot. He's a necessary zealot though. The world is a better place because of him. But thank God that he doesn't get his way for the whole world.

The animosity between commercial software and "free" software really isn't very productive. They all have a place, and the trick is to use them where they are best suited. FOSS is simply impossible to use in some areas. Same for commercial software or non-free software. On both sides of the fence there is functionality that does not exist on the other. There is no way to completely avoid one of the other.

So why would you want to switch a school completely over? The only reason I can see is if you're buying into Stallman's zealotry.

Even the platform developers in the FOSS world can't manage to avoid proprietary technology, e.g. From Ubuntu Studio:

Graphic design and modeling applications including The GIMP, Inkscape and Blender. Along with plugins like dcraw to help with RAW camera files and wacom-tools for people with Wacom drawing tablets.

Wacom certainly isn't FOSS, but it's unavoidable. It's pretty much the standard.

Anyways, I'm just mindlessly blathering.

I'm not so sure that licensing costs really matter that much. What is $100 per year for a license for a productivity machine used by someone that makes $80,000 a year? Nothing!

There's no way it's a licensing fee issue.

Put it this way, if you need to train people on an operating system that nobody knows (like OS X), you're going to need to pay for that training. Now, can you train someone for a new OS for less than the price of a Windows license? Unlikely.

I bought a Mac, planning to do development, and so far I find it much more resistant to getting things done than Windows. I can pull up a nice, easy GUI in Windows, but to get the same thing done in OS X I have to drop down to the COMMAND LINE!

Now, the command line is great, but seriously, you have to be brain dead to think that most people want to use it. It's massively intimidating.

For email and surfing, the Mac is ok. Windows is actually far better for multimedia consumption though. (OS X video handling is very poor compared to Windows -- try seeking inside of a video to find out why.)

So far, I find everything on OS X is just less than Windows counter-parts. It looks nice, but that's about it. (http://microsoft2apple.com/ - mostly rants.)

Nah. I have to go with the common assumption there that Google is simply doing it as a strategic move to undermine Microsoft. Windows is more secure than OS X and many other operating systems. Windows is more secure than Solaris out of the box. Solaris can be hardened, but its default installation isn't secure like Windows.

The biggest security issue is idiocy, and not the operating system. In light of that, the cynical side of me wants to reiterate: Windows is more secure than OS X. (There are actual studies about computer choices and personalities, and Mac users come out as arrogant plus a few other undesirable traits -- I forget -- maybe someone remembers.)

You cannot protect an idiot that insists on clicking on "super-sexo-matic.exe" in their email inbox, or someone that thinks they're getting a cut of Prince Ubugabe's $50 million fortune that's tied up in a secret bank account in Africa. They are hopeless.

If Google desktops are getting hacked in China, then it's their own fault. There's no excuse for any corporate computer to get hacked. Ever. That just reeks of an incompetent IT team or idiocy behind the keyboard. Which is it?

Nah. Choosing an OS that nobody knows enough about and where everything is difficult is a great way to increase security. There's a phrase for it. Security through obscurity. That's the only benefit of moving away from Windows.

Erm... I think that was kind of ranty...

I'm not really a movie collector - I see a movie once, and have no desire to watch it again, and again (, and again...). So I never really had an interest in the medley of knock-off methods. However I am really getting curious about then now...

BEGIN RANT --

Total Rant

THANK-GOD THAT SOMEBODY RAISED THIS TOPIC!!!

This is a fundamental problem that we should NOT have to deal with at all. I have more problems with legitimate DVDs that I buy than any of the illegitimate ones. (Yes -- I have bought 'fake' DVDs in places where you simply cannot buy 'real' ones.) To be honest, 'fake' DVDs work far better than 'real' DVDs.

Best bet is to buy a cheap DVD player and plug it into the TV (they are really very cheap these days).

-Carol Haynes (May 31, 2010, 09:59 AM)

No disrespect to you Carol, but that's a piss-poor solution. These guys are supposed to publish their product in a format that is a standard. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. Buying a new DVD player is simply far too much to expect from the consumer. e.g. "Oh, it didn't work in the brand A DVD player? Then just buy a brand B DVD player." Rinse. Repeat. Not good.

If it is a DRM issue you could try the TV manufacturer's website - sometimes they issue firmware updates to cure this sort of problem (assuming the support page is still there). Alternatively phone/email the manufacturer and see if they can send you a firmware update.

-Carol Haynes (May 31, 2010, 09:59 AM)

Again, same issue. Why should the consumer need to fart around with this kind of thing?

Most DRM works by introducing out-of-spec data into the DVD's layout. The DRM relies on the ability of most DVD players to be able to gracefully recover from these errors and keep playing your movie. Unfortunately, some players will choke on these shenanigans & the problem is only getting worse.

The DRM peddlers keep getting farther and farther out of spec in an attempt to curtail disc duplication & it's having the unwanted effect of a greater number of players are unable to process their way through the error-riddled mess.

Cost of your player has nothing to do with it, either. Sony DVD players, which are usually some of the priciest, have the worst results with heavily-laden DRMed titles because Sony players adhere to the DVD data spec very closely.

Usually when I run across a title I know has a lot of DRM I'll run it through AnyDVD first before watching it & I usually have a better experience not to mention not having to sit through all those un-skippable segments at the beginning of the disc.

-Innuendo (May 31, 2010, 11:10 AM)

DRM for DVDs is simply very, very, very broken. Not just broken, but totally f**ked.

I have some movies that I bought in an expensive DVD set that I have not been able to watch for several years. I got sick of it the other day and I downloaded a 'pirated' version of them. Now, I already 'own' copies of them in a boxed set that I bought at retail, but because of the idiocy in the DVDs, I can't watch them. i.e. The product is broken and doesn't work.

Did I break the law? Well, I simply don't give a s**t. I am sick and tired of being f**ked by paranoid d**k s**t a$$holes that would rather f**k their good customers than put up with a small amount of piracy.

Should I feel guilty for 'stealing'? Nope. In fact, I feel that they owe me for the inconvenience of having to download 'pirated' versions to view content that I already paid for.



...


new rant below...



...



Now, let's go on a new rant...



...



iTunes and crap like it. If you "buy" a video there, you are encumbered by their DRM (which essentially makes it useless), and on top of that, if you lose it, you're hosed. iTunes will not allow you to download content that you already paid for. You lose it? You pay for it again. No time limits. No download count. Nothing. You're f**ked.


DRM is f**ked.


Raping customers is f**ked.


I am sick of companies that treat their customers like s**t.


DISCLAIMER: All of my personal information as to who I am is publicly available. I do not hide. I do not pretend. I am not a wanker like so many of these 'lawyered-up' wankers are. If anyone wants to sue me, go ahead. I will retaliate in ways that make your grandchildren cry.

As I said in previous posts, the issues surrounding these topics have dire consequences and very very complicated power issues in the upcoming years and centuries, not just for individuals but also for societies, cultures, languages, philosophy, art, literature, animals and the nature.

Ahem... Being the sadist that I am, I would love to see some Germans and foreign nationals in Germany dirty their undergarments...

Its German counterpart [ ed. UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) ] has asked to see the data before it proceeds, and has sought answers from Google to a range of technical questions about how the data was gathered and stored.

Now, if you still have clean underwear, you obviously didn't understand that, or are very optimistic or naive... Or I'm paranoid...

I really doubt that is a simple "investigation". It sounds too much like a ministry slobbering over a voyeuristic opportunity. The EFF is absolutely right.

In the UK, the country's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has ordered the firm to destroy the data which it collected in 2008.

And that makes me think that the UK just doesn't need/care for the data as they already have it through Echelon.

I'm certainly less worried about Google than I am about governments. Corporations don't have secret police. Governments do. Corporations don't come knocking at your door because you surfed a site that they don't like. Governments do. (It has happened to me before -- I'm really not paranoid. ) The German reaction there seems very scary. "Ooooh! You have naughty information? Oh, please let me see too~!"

My question is: Is this story *really* about Google, or is it about different governments?

I feel the same way about DVDs. I have quite a few (non-pirated) DVDs that I can't play because of protection schemes on them that are simply broken (e.g. Macrovision) or region codes that prevent me from playing them. It's a very broken system.

When you buy pirated DVDs, they simply work. Sure, every now and then you'll get one that's broken, or you'll get the wrong movie entirely, but you still end up ahead because non-pirated DVDs are still broken more often than pirated ones. (Region codes make them 100% broken.)

Another thing is that in some places, the only ones available are pirated ones.

I'm particularly bitter about it because on every single system where I want to play my Star Wars DVDs, they're always broken (that just happens to be the set that I go to play first all the time and hence, the one that really sets me off). I'm just sick of spending money and getting screwed like that. Regularly.

The entire ability to "switch region codes" on DVD players in your computer is just a farce. If you have DVDs from more than 1 region, the how the heck is it a solution? Once you've changed it 5x, the DVD drive is trash.

I cannot speak for DNN but our school uses Joomla.  It was setup for us by our ISP and it for some newbies to web design, it is difficult.  I agree with Renegade that its admin interface is clunky and we sometimes have problems figuring out where stuff is and all the layers involved.

But in the interest of saving money, we will be setting up our own web server and thus this thread has become real interesting to me.  It needs to be Open Source or free and easy to use.

-techidave (May 22, 2010, 08:21 AM)

The main cost of running a server is not the OS; it's the time you put into running the server.

i.e. You get what you pay for.

That applies to LAMP stack servers as well. And ESPECIALLY for if you are having a server hosted for you and it is not your own hardware and you're not the physical presence that maintains it.

If you want to get burned badly, I can recommend Layered Technologies. Their support staff bring new meaning to the word "incompetent". I really, seriously mean that. Like starved for oxygen at birth type of incompetent. (They managed to lose all data on a server I managed running RAID 1 (mirrored drives) when there were mainboard issues... Wow... Just stunning.

The Planet is excellent, and very well priced. I have no problems recommending them. I've used them for years and never had any problems. Their prices are honestly fantastic. Also, they're one of the largest IDC companies in the world now.

Anyways, the point there is that the actual company you host with makes a huge difference as well.

I would seriously recommend that you take inventory of your priorities if you are choosing a LAMP stack over a Windows stack because of price. For large clusters or farms, that decision becomes easier. For a single web server, I'm not sure that you will actually end up saving much money/resources. The time you put into developing the site, maintaining it, and administering it are all very important costs.

Your uptime and repair time requirements though will play a big part in that decision. I really have no idea there what you need. (For extreme uptime, I think that it's hard to beat Solaris blade servers.)

Years ago I used several hosting companies after using only dedicated servers. It nearly killed me as I constantly had problems that were all due to the hosting company. I returned to dedicated servers as the server cost compared to the "problem cost" was insignificant.

You can get a Windows server for very cheap. You can run PosGRESQL or MySQL if you don't want to run MS SQL Server, which takes care of the largest licensing fees that you'd have with a Windows server.

By the same token though, you can get very reliable LAMP servers with lots of good development and admin tools. Ask around there though, as I am not really the best person to ask about the best tools for LAMP stacks (I hate Plesk and CPanel.)

Oh, I should mention that the general cost for a Windows license in a hosted environment is about $30, and $50 for some higher server versions. That may have changed somewhat since I last looked. I think the question there then is whether you can save $30 in aspirin/Tylenol per month.

Living Room / Re: website maker?

« Last post by Renegade on May 22, 2010, 03:25 AM »

Yes. DNN needs a Windows server. You may be able to run it under Mono though if you're on a LAMP stack server. I've not tried it personally.

For any one beginning, I'd really steer them away from Joomla. The administrative interface itself is nightmarishly difficult. The entire concept in how Joomla is structured just seem alien. DNN has a much simpler approach with pages and modules, and that's it. I wouldn't even know how to explain how Joomla is setup.

However, I would still say that even for a simple system like DNN, it's best to get it setup for you or installed for you if you're starting out.

@JavaJones -- How would you describe the Joomla administrative interface so that human beings can understand? I just find it far too complex and involved with too many layers. I'd not have a clue how to start explaining it.

It really also depends on where you are- GPS reception isn't 100% accurate and maps can be out of date, or just not cover areas, or have inbuilt mistakes in them (at one time, the GPS wouldn't even take you to my house, but to another place).  It's just like cell service in a lot of ways, where you have to make allowances to use the service (or not) in areas until the technology gets better.  And sometimes, while our expectations may seem reasonable to the user, they aren't reasonable given the technologies, IME.
