In this post ,I am going  to share some of the interesting facts about Android platform which was discussed in an introductory session conducted by worldlink at le meridian,Bangalore.

• Though Android platform is basically for mobile phones  it has been successfully implemented in  various other devices such as E-book Readers,Navigators and Netbooks.
• Android runs on Dalvic Virtual Machine,which is a register based virtual machine developed by google , unlike the usual one which is stack based.
• Android requires high-end hardware i.e a minimum of 400Mhz  processing power and 128MB RAM and efforts are made to minimize high-end hardware dependency.

With Server Side Includes (SSI), you can include other HTML pages inside one web page. You can even generate some dynamic content, such as adding a “Last Modified” field on the page or printing environment variables. This section explains how to enable SSI on your Apache server.

If you are using a clean install of Apache from the Fedora Core RPM packages, SSI is not enabled by default. To begin, open /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and locate this line :

<Directory "/var/www/html">

Directly under that line is a stanza describing the Options directive that immediately follows. Simply add “Includes” to the end of the Options directive like so,

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes

Next, look for this line:

AddType text/html .shtml

It should be uncommented by default. If it is commented out, simply uncomment it. That’s all ! Files with the extension .shtml are SSI files. If you wish to use an .shtml file as the default page for your website or directory, you will need to make one more change. Locate the DirectoryIndex directive and add index.shtml to it, like so :

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.shtml

This post is about Uninstalling Fedora from your Computer the Easy way.

I assume before you Dual Booted with Fedora you used Microsoft Windows XP.

i also assume the reason you installed Fedora was to help you in your college course work and reason you are uninstalling is you want to get back to your comfort zone -”win xp”. (my 2 bits :its always betterto stay out of your comfort zone to get an “edge” over your competitors).

if you are still reading this i believe you are determined to remove fedora, maybe you want to install more friendly version of linux (try ubuntu)  or you want to regain your precious hard disk space.

you can now run ubuntu 8.10 on dell xps 1330 without having to install it completely.what i am talking about is using pen drive/flash drive as startup disk and using the startup disk to boot into ubuntu.

using pen drive as startup disk has its own set of advantages

retain your old file system

you need not make changes to existing file system or the default operating system which involves partitioning hard disk;tweaking  with boot records,dealing with post installation problems  can be avoided.the chances of running into problems trying to multi boot a system are fairly high.
