Re: Linux is far from being free of malware??!!
I have no problems with malware on Linux. I'm using ubuntu like systems since 8.04. At the beggining I had dual boot. Since I met VirtualBox, I use it for testing and also running MS-Windows Only software... In VBox I can run XP, Windows Server 03, 08, Win7... If you have enough hardware, it's ok!

Re: Linux is far from being free of malware??!!
Great information from all. Thanks for sharing. Using the basic security tips as Nio pointed out ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicSecurity ) is a must. While Linux is more secure than others it is not bullet proof so reasonable precautions are a must besides the greatest security threat to a Linux OS is the device that sits in front of the keyboard.

Best Linux Alternative To Apple's Aperture?
Hello Lubuntu Users, Lubuntu has been my goto Linux desktop operating system for a few years now (I've been an avid Linux fan and user for a long time). I just discovered this listserv and figured I should join. :-) I'm attempting to adopt Linux as my primary operating system, or as much of it as I can. I'm a wannabe photographer and have been using Apple's Aperture for a while now. I'm sure you know where this is going... I know I'm likely beating a dead horse, but I want to get input from the Lubuntu community... What is the best alternative to Aperture in the Linux world? It doesn't have to be a single app, it can be a suite of apps. I've heard that F-Spot is the closest to Aperture and plan to check it out. I'd love to hear what y'all think!

OBI on DVD and more...
I would like to know how can I create a DVD media with OBI and several Ubuntu flavors or other distros... The reason for that is, sometimes it is much easier to get a DVD drive than fighting to boot USB drives on old hardware... With such media, I could have about 4 distros, properly I could burn amd64 and i386 versions of Lubuntu, and have many other options to install I thought I could use the compressed dd image to get a iso file, and maybe with on this iso add some tarballs to /tarballs directory. But I never did something like this on Linux. Maybe there is a easier way to get this done too... Another thing, I would like to suggest an change on mkusb script. I recently had to use on the partimage linux. There is no sudo there, so I could not properly use this script to make a installation media. Root user is always available on this distro, and also, there is some distros that have no sudo binary... So, to get some more generic script, maybe the right thing to do is to remove all sudo from code, and run the script as root user. In a debian like distro sudo ./mkusb.

Re: Best Linux Alternative To Apple's Aperture?
Hi Anthony, I am not entirely sure what aperture is, but if you are looking for something that can edit RAW photos, I'd suggest looking into RawTherapee, or Darkroom. Shotwell is good at importing and view Raw photos, but you have to make sure you install all the correct libraries to view your photos. So, 2 quick questions... 1. What kind of program is aperture, or what kind of functionality are you looking for? 2. Do you use multiple types of Cameras, (in other words do you have cameras that only have CR2 format raw files, or are there multiple types or cameras/formats) Glad to hear you are interested in Lubuntu so much!!

So, to get some more generic script, maybe the right thing to do is to remove all sudo from code, and run the script as root user. In a debian like distro sudo ./mkusb.

Re: Best Linux Alternative To Apple's Aperture?
Hi Anthony, You may wish to check out Darktable at: http://www.darktable.org/ they have their own ppa for stable releases.

Re: OBI on DVD and more...
2014-01-06 03:49, Andre Rodovalho skrev: I would like to know how can I create a DVD media with OBI and several Ubuntu flavors or other distros... The reason for that is, sometimes it is much easier to get a DVD drive than fighting to boot USB drives on old hardware... With such media, I could have about 4 distros, properly I could burn amd64 and i386 versions of Lubuntu, and have many other options to install I thought I could use the compressed dd image to get a iso file, and maybe with on this iso add some tarballs to /tarballs directory. But I never did something like this on Linux. Maybe there is a easier way to get this done too... Another thing, I would like to suggest an change on mkusb script. I recently had to use on the partimage linux. There is no sudo there, so I could not properly use this script to make a installation media. Root user is always available on this distro, and also, there is some distros that have no sudo binary... So, to get some more generic script, maybe the right thing to do is to remove all sudo from code, and run the script as root user. In a debian like distro sudo ./mkusb. I'm hearing you thoughts... Hi Andre, 1. Multiboot I see your point, but I think it will not be easy for me to make it. There are several multi-boot systems for USB drives that are easy to create, but the ones that I know of for DVDs need remastering to be created. Maybe somebody in the Lubuntu community knows how to do it and would be prepared to make such a DVD image. Can *you* how are reading this now do it? 2. One Button Installer on CD/DVD I agree with Brendan, that Plop is a good alternative. 2014-01-06 04:35, brendanperr...@gmail.com skrev: plop is really good at getting things to boot off old hardware is plop boot manager. http://www.plop.at/ It is really easy for me to use at least. 2.1 I use a Plop CD to start some drivers that can boot a USB pendrive in my oldest computer, a Compaq Presario 5640 with a 400 MHz Pentium II CPU and 192 MB RAM. That way I can use the One Button Installer and install an operating system from a tarball. 2.2 A second alternative would be to make the OBI work from a CD/DVD. A couple of alternatives might work: A read/write CD/DVD system is possible but not very standardized, and I'm afraid it might work only in a few CD/DVD hardware equipments. Making an OBI iso file by remastering an iso system: It would be more likely that a remastered iso system would work in most computers with a CD/DVD drive (to make an iso file live system with the OBI scripts included). I have never remastered a system, and need help to learn how to do it or ask someone else to do the remastering, but if many people want it, I think we should do it. 3. mkusb without sudo Your question about mkusb should be easier to solve. I just tried to use it without using sudo directly in the command line (but running as root via sudo -s). The current version works like that for me. But I found that there are a few calls with sudo, that should be removed from the script (two calls of parted and one of fdisk), the others are only text strings in echo statements. - grep 'sudo ' ~/bin/mkusb for i in /dev/[^f]d?; do sudo parted -ls|grep -B1 $i|tr '\n' '\t';echo ;done tj=$(sudo parted -ls|grep -B1 $j|tr '\n' ' '|sed s/Model:\ //;echo ) tj=$(sudo fdisk -lu $j 2/dev/null|grep $j:|sed s/\,\ .*//) echo sudo $0 file.iso echo sudo $0 file.img.gz echo sudo $0 file.img.xz echo sudo $0 wipe-all echo sudo $0 wipe-1 echo sudo $0 $1 echo sudo lshw -class disk # $hlptxt echo sudo fdisk -lu 2/dev/null|grep /dev/[^f]d|sort # $hlptxt - Can you try it after removing those sudos yourself, or do you want me to upload a release candidate to test? If that does not work, there might be something else, that is used by the bash script in an Ubuntu based system, that is not available in the other system (in partimage linux). In that case, do you get an error message or warning?

Re: Migrate many micro and small enterprises to Lubuntu in Brazil

I know that in April, 2014 Microsoft will stop providing updates and support for Windows XP users, so I decided to help many micro and small enterprises (like small businesses, for example: bakeries, restaurants, schools, small offices,...) in Brazil to change to another system and try not download ilegal windows 7 or windows 8 and try not buy a new computer with better CPU and GPU, so Im trying to convince many small businesses companies to migrate to Lubuntu (because it will have 5 years support in 14.04 LTS and of course it is free). But in the other hand, many people are asking me if the system is reliable, who is paying it (because if nobody pays, you have to receive money to continue the system). I didnt know what to answer and it made me think about it: *Why doesnt Lubuntu do the same thing that Kubuntu made in the past and look for a company that sponsors (financially) the system? Like Kubuntu is supported financially by Blue Systems *( http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-to-be-sponsored-by-blue-systems) Other thing that I wanna know about Lubuntu Team: Many small companies have shown interest in migrating to Lubuntu, but they asked me if I could support them, providing support if they had some doubts using the system in the future, I agreed with them, but there are much more companies that me (alone) can support, so I asked them if they would pay for this support (like U$S10~U$S15 per company per 10 computers by month) because with this money I could contract more brazilian employees to help me supporting them, they agreed with it. *But I wanna know if Lubuntu Team thinks that it is wrong by myself to ''get money'' supporting Lubuntu company users in Brazil?* (Because the system is free, I would only get money for the support, because we have energy tax, potencial employees to pay and others costs) Is it wrong to get money with Lubuntu support or Lubuntu Team doesnt see problem with that? (Im asking it, because I respect so much all people that made Lubuntu and make it until today :D ) *Please*, I dont like so much to use list.ubuntu.com, because I dont understand so much the interface, so PLEASE if one of you (or many of you) wanna answer this message, send your answer to my email: *pinpor...@msn.com pinpor...@msn.com* my name is João, just put ''Lubuntu'' title on the email message to I know that it is an answer for my original message.

It will pull in KDE libraries, that fill some HDD space, but they create no other problem. Gimp is a good tool for general manual editing. ImageMagick does it in batch mode.
