Si usas linux, pones un cd en blanco en la quemadora, doble click al iso descargado y listo. Si usas windows, lo quemas en nero con la opcion burn image (quemar iso).

Ahora tienes listo slax live cd, reinicias la computadora.

Arranca slax en cuestion de segundos (con escritorio kde)

Abres la terminal (el icono al lado del kmenu)

citas: cfdisk

Veras las particiones, borras las particiones (solo escoges delete en cada particion y enter)

Escoges write para guardar los cambios. Luego escoges Yes, en dos segundos se borra la particion.

Creas una nueva particion: New, enter, y escoges primaria.

Ahora veras que aparece abajo la opcion booteable, enter y ya tienes tu particion de 16 mb booteable.

El tamano sera 16.00 (MB). Enter, veras que al lado de la particion de 16 mb dice boot.

Bajamos a la particion de espacio libre, y escogemos new, luego logical, enter, y le damos tamano del doble de lo que tengamos en ram, si tenemos 256 en ram, le daremos 512 mb, aunque le puedes dar mas. Luego enter (donde dice begining) y se creara. Despues escoges type (siempre en esta particion). Escoges 82 porque es una particion swap.

Ahora bajamos al espacio libre, escogemos new, luego logic, y finalmente enter (asi usara el espacio que sobre de disco duro). Esta sera la particion raiz o root.

Guardamos los cambios pulsando sobre write.

Ahora quit para salir de cfdisk (no de la konsola).

Formatear en ext3 las dos particiones restante (boot y root), solo citar en konsola:

mke2fs -j /dev/hda1
mke2fs -j /dev/hda5

Crear el lugar donde se va a llevar a cabo la instalacion, solo citar:

mkdir /mnt/partslax

Ahora la montaremos junto con la partición raiz, solo citar:

mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/partslax

Ahora vamos a crear otra carpetita dentro de esa, citar:

mkdir /mnt/partslax/boot

Y la montaremos junto con la partición de arranque:

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/partslax/boot

Reiniciar la computadora

Citar en konsola: slax-install

Aparecera un pequeño asistente que nos pide que seleccionemos una partición.

A mi me han aparecido dos, y he elegido "disc0part5", le he dado a intro y después de unos minutos me ha aparecido un mensajito muy chulo que decía:

Installation succesfull

Lo que viene a significar que la instalación ha sido un éxito.

Es todo.

So knowing it and be prepared when everybody is talking about and thinking about to use it may be a good idea.
So the article OSGi for Beginners on theServerSide.com is coming at the right time.

OSGi is a framework for Java in which units of resources called bundles can be installed. Bundles can export services or run processes, and have their dependencies managed, such that a bundle can be expected to have its requirements managed by the container. Each bundle can also have its own internal classpath, so that it can serve as an independent unit, should that be desireable. All of this is standardized such that any valid OSGi bundle can theoretically be installed in any valid OSGi container.

• Presentasi yang diberikan oleh Bill Gates terasa hambar, cuma menggembor-gemborkan betapa teknologi telah maju pesat dibandingkan dekade yang lalu (yang semua orang juga tahu). Walaupun presentasinya seharusnya membahas dunia digital dekade kedepan, pembahasan terasa kurang memukau. Bagaimana kontribusi IT untuk produktivitas Indonesia sempat disebut-sebut, walaupun kurang menohok.
• Pemerintah Indonesia terlalu over-reacting terhadap kedatangan si chairman Microsoft ini. Sangat berlebihan dan terkesan menjilat. Gw secara pribadi tidak terlalu suka dengan cara berbisnis Microsoft yang sangat mengunci kebebasan orang. Pemerintah seharusnya tidak terlalu bergantung sama investasi Microsoft di Indonesia yang pasti jumlahnya tidak terlalu besar, lebih baik mencoba melepas ketergantungan terhadap sebuah vendor (asing) dan mengembangkan software sendiri dalam koridor free software.

Kita sebagai rakyat Indonesia harus sabar menunggu realisasi dari komitmen pemerintah dalam dunia IT, bagaimana IT dipakai untuk memajukan sektor-sektor riil di tanah air.

Kita juga harus terus memantau manuver-manuver pemerintah yang bersikap dualistik, di satu pihak seperti sok mendengar teriakan aktivis-aktivis free software dengan mencanangkan program IGOS (Indonesia goes Open Source) tapi di lain pihak terlibat perselingkuhan dengan Microsoft. (rnh)

(Source: Josh Berkus as best as I can remember his list from my chicken scratch notes - Used under Creative Commons License)

However, I'd like to respectfully disagree with Josh's patent-pending list.

I'll going to go out on a limb and suggest that Josh's presentation, while amusing and interesting, is not as relevant to the OSS movement as we'd like to think. OSS projects of much lore began as truly open multi-vendor / multi-third-party efforts. This was true of kernel.org, many (but not all) Apache projects, and many (but not all) Eclipse projects. But today, the name of the OSS game is 180 degrees opposite from multi-vendor efforts.

If you're a startup attempting to build an OSS-based business, you will likely ignore #4, #5, #7 and especially #9. If you don't want to ignore these steps, rest assured that your VC will "encourage" you to do so. You can ignore these steps because they have minimal impact on your ability to grow a successful OSS business or successful OSS community. You don't want a multi-vendor project; you want a community of users who congregate around a code base that you control. Don't believe me? Classify vendors like MySQL, SugarCRM, Zimbra, JBoss (not Red Hat - their business is based around a multi-vendor project), Alfresco, SpringSource, Hyperic, etc. against steps #4, #5, #7 and #9.

Let's not fool ourselves into thinking that OSS success hinges on the same things that were required when the breadth of multi-vendor and/or third-party participation was the key criteria for a "successful" OSS project.

Like it or not, OSS success is beginning to be measured along the same metric that society (rightly or wrongly) measures success...how much money you can make...and making money starts with power/control (of the project).

We don't mean to get all hippy-feel-the-love on you or anything... but you gotta admit, we're entering a new era of the internet. It's the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius Open Source.

For those who aren't complete geeks don't keep up with technology, in a nutshell: open source is a method of creating software by a community. Anyone can access the underlying code behind a software, and the result is developed in a public, collaborative manner. Think of it as a summer of love meets Carl Marx meets Bill Gates meets Robin Hood.

Why does this excite us so? Fast forward to the day when you no longer have to pay for a Windows operating system ($100-$200). You no longer have to pay for Microsoft Office ($100-$300). You no longer have to pay for Adobe's creative suite of software ($1200).

Well, friends, that day is already upon us. From operating system, to business productivity, to creative endeavors, open source alternatives are already here:

Open Source Operating System (like Microsoft Windows): Ubuntu

Open Source Office applications (like Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint): OpenOffice

Open Source desktop publishing (like Adobe Pagemaker or Microsoft Publisher): Scribus

Open Source Antivirus software (like Norton, PC-Cillin, McAfee): ClamWin

Open Source Financial Software (like Intuit Quicken or Microsoft Money): HomeBank

Open Source image processing (like Adobe Photoshop): GIMP

Open Source vecto drawing (like Adobe Illustrator): Inkscape

Open Source 3D Animation: Blender

Open Source Video Editor / Compositor (like Adobe After Effects): Jashaka

Open source system restore / network backup / data recovery software: Restore

Open source Audit Editing (like Adobe Audition): Audacity

The beauty behind open source software is that there are unlimited number of software developers. So bugs tend to be found quickly, and new features tend to come out often.

We may be ruining the future of this planet for our children, but at least they'll have free software to run.

Själv har jag tidigare bloggat om Omeka - ett fritt tillgänlgigt verktyg för för att skapa webbplattformar. Jag har hittat lite biblioteksapplikationer för Facebook och konstaterat att utan API för kataloger så blir det inget kul.
Det som stör mig lite är att det inte finns någon i Sverige som verkar bry sig, utom några enstaka entusiaster. Förra året sökte Länsbiblioteket i Örebro ett regional utvecklingsbidrag från kulturrådet för en förstudie om hur biblioteken bäst använder applikationer för t ex kataloger, frågetjänster, digitala läsecirklar etc, för plattformar på webben som t ex Facebook, Ning och NetVibes.  Förstudien skulle testa och validera befintliga verktyg som exempelvis LibGuides och Facebook Developers.
Vi fick avslag på ansökan med motiveringen att "liknande, ej utvärderade projekt pågår".
Det är OK för mig, men jag väntar fortfatande på kunskapsspridningen från det projektet.

Jag har en känsla av att det har plöjts ner för mycket pengar och tid på oflexibla webb 1.0-lösningar. Ta tex den stora satsningen på VRL+ som staten ville att vi länsbibliotek skulle engagera oss i för att driva Fråga biblioteket. Ungefär samma saker man kan göra i dyr VRL+miljö är gratis tillgängliga i chattprogram som t ex Meebo. Oregon State University Library har tagit fram en open source-tjänst som heter LibraryFind - som påminner starkt om ambitionerna som gänget kring Bibliotek24 har. Och med tanke på diskussioner om Oracle-licenser och ej utelämnade API:er, vilka bibliotek har möjlighet att ens testa t ex  open source bibliotekssystemet Koha - demo här.
För att inte tala om Drupal.

Och jag tänker: WTF!
Varför har inte vi en svensk motsvarighet till MIT Librarie's Betas, Penn Labs eller MLibrary Labs? (Hela listan finns här)

Freenet is free software which lets you publish and obtain information on the Internet without fear of censorship. To achieve this freedom, the network is entirely decentralized and publishers and consumers of information are anonymous. Without anonymity there can never be true freedom of speech, and without decentralization the network will be vulnerable to attack.

Congratulations to Ian Clarke, Matthew Toseland, and the other the Freenet developers. The quote on the Freenet site epitomizes the importance of the project:

"I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say 'Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?'"
--Mike Godwin, Electronic Frontier Foundation

Freenet is a vital weapon in that war.

I'm also excited to have Ian as a new addition to the LittleShoot advisory board, one of many things we'll be making more announcements about soon.  I've always had a great respect for Ian's emphasis on p2p's importance as a politically disruptive tool for free speech.  We all got caught up in the copyright wars and missed the big picture, but not Ian.

A primeira é que uma Corte Alemã sustentou a decisão de primeira instância que condenou a empresa Skype Technologies S.A., sediada em Luxemburgo e responsável pelo aplicativo de transmissão de dados VoIP homônimo, por infração aos termos da Licença Pública Geral GNU versão 2 (GNU General Public License v2, mais conhecida como GNU/GPL v2). De acordo com o que ficou decidido, a empresa Luxemburguense deixou de cumprir com os termos da Seção 3 da licença que explicitamente determinam a distribuição do código fonte dos softwares por ela protegidos.

O processo foi movido por Harald Welte (clique aqui para acessar o blog dele), responsável pelo website gpl-violations.org, que acusou a empresa de descumprir os termos da licença quando da distribuição do aparelho de VoIP 'SMCWSKP 100' com o kernel Linux, mas sem acesso ao código-fonte. Posteriormente à decisão de primeiro grau, a empresa passou a distribuir os aparelhos com um flyer informando onde seria possível obter acesso ao código-fonte dos trechos de software livre contidos no aparelho. Todavia, a corte alemã entendeu que tal medida não era suficiente para satisfazer os requisitos da GNU/GPL, reiterando, assim, a decisão de primeira instância.

Por fim, a segunda notícia é que a empresa estadunidense Sun Microsystems Inc. anunciou que pretende licenciar a plataforma Java integralmente pelos termos da GNU/GPL. Há pouco mais de um ano a empresa já havia iniciado a transição para a GPL, mas partes da plataforma Java ainda permaneceram proprietárias e agora pretende finalizá-lo.

Esta conquista é extremamente importante para a comunidade já que os aplicativos Java são cada vez mais presentes na vida online de todos as pessoas. Assim, a não divulgação do código-fonte da plataforma é, por enquanto, juntamente com o Adobe Flash, um dos maiores incômodos na vida dos xiitas do software livre.

Acontece que grande parte dos websites e aplicativos web da atualidade dependem em algum momento de suporte para Java ou Flash. Assim, os usuários de software livre são forçados a baixar arquivos binários de código-fonte fechado das empresas Sun e Adobe e promiscuir seus sistemas livres com trechos de código não-livre.

Para lidar com o problema Flash, existe o projeto Gnash, que já se encontra muito avançado e supre praticamente todos os usos necessários do Flash Player plugin e agora o Java, que também conta com um compatível livre - GNU Classpath, já não será mais uma preocupação.

Segundo a Sun, que já tem um histórico de apoio ao software livre, sendo, inclusive, em grande parte responsável pelo Open Office, a iniciativa se deu para garantir a alta inventividade em sua plataforma independente.

La ética detrás de un buen trabajo con un fin común, el de aprender sin egoísmos, ni ambiciones. Tan sólo el de compartir lo que sabes.

Untuk pertama kalinya, Bill Gates, Chairman Microsoft corp. datang ke Indonesia, dan disambut dengan sangat hangat oleh Presiden SBY. Setelah sempat melakukan pertemuan di istana negara pada hari Kamis (8/5), Bill Gates diundang untuk menjadi pembicara pada acara "Presidential Lecture" yang berlangsung hari ini, Jumat (9/5) di JCC, Senayan, Jakarta.

Kebetulan aku bersama rombongan ITB mendapat undangan untuk menghadiri acara tersebut (thanks to Shana, walaupun harus berangkat jam 3 pagi dengan mata berkunang-kunang habis begadang nugas). Peserta mahasiswa lainnya juga berasal dari berbagai macam kampus di Indonesia, seperti UI, ITS, Prasetya Mulya, President University, dan Tarumanegara. Kami menempati balkon bagian atas (cukup jauh dari stage, sehingga kurang leluasa mengambil foto), sedangkan hanya undangan VIP yang terdiri dari menteri-menteri, pejabat, duta besar negara, serta tamu khusus lainnya yang menempati kursi di dekat stage.

Acara dibuka dengan sambutan yang cukup meriah dari presiden SBY. Presiden SBY memuji Bill Gates sebagai orang yang bervisi kuat, inspiratif, punya imajinasi tentang masa depan yang selalu berusaha untuk diwujudkannya, pekerja keras, memiliki jiwa sosial yang kental terutama kontribusinya di bidang pendidikan dan kesehatan. Presiden SBY juga berharap Indonesia dapat menjalin kerjasama yang baik dan kolaboratif dengan Microsoft dalam mengembangkan industri IT di Indonesia. Melalui program "Microsoft Campus" di Redmond USA, Presiden SBY berharap bibit-bibit unggul dari Indonesia dapat memberikan kontribusinya ke negeri sendiri, setelah ditempa di lingkungan Microsoft.

"It's a great effort what Mr. Bill Gates' done on Indonesian talents at Microsoft Campus. I expect one day, they will come back here and build up IT industries in Indonesia. I think it's Mr. Bill Gates obigation, to make sure that they will really come home", begitu kata pak SBY yang disambut gelak tawa dan tepuk tangan dari para hadirin.

Sementara itu, sikap Bill Gates selama di atas panggung cukup mendapat perhatianku. Terlihat di foto (klik untuk perbesar), gaya duduknya agak "ndeso" seperti lagi ngewarung :-D

Ketika giliran Bill Gates naik ke atas mimbar memberikan ceramahnya, aku langsung menangkap kesan "sok tinggi / sok jago" yang ia perlihatkan, entah sengaja entah tidak. Tanpa memberikan kata sambutan penghormatan kepada siapa pun (termasuk presiden SBY!), Mr. Gates mengawali ceramah dengan kata "Good morning, all of you". kemudian langsung nyerocos tentang materi yang ingin disampaikannya. Hueh, gaya bener..

Cara Bill Gates menyampaikan ceramahnya terasa datar-datar saja, dan terkesan serius. Bahkan hampir tidak ada guyonan / hal di luar materi yang ia sampaikan. Akibatnya, bisa ditebak, peserta yang jauh-jauh, capek,  dateng dari luar kota mulai "berjatuhan", seperti mendengar khutbah jum'atan :-)

Materi yang Bill Gates sampaikan cukup ringan, berkisar perkembangan komputer dari tahun ke tahun (dan tentu saja, "how my company involved or even controlled it"), serta proyeksi masa depan, bagaimana komputer dan internet menjadi sarana kolaborasi paling efektif bagi orang di seluruh dunia. Scientist, Researcher, Engineer, Businessman, Government di seluruh dunia akan dapat bekerja jauh lebih efisien dengan menerapkan teknologi informasi, begitu kesimpulannya.

Bill Gates kemudian mendemokan sebuah software terbaru yang sedang dikembangkan Microsoft, yakni penjelajahan alam semesta. Software ini mirip Google Earth, namun didesain untuk menjelajahi planet-planet, bintang-bintang, serta bagian tatasurya lainnya. Kelebihan software ini, setiap penggunanya dapat menambahkan koleksi database visualisasi terhadap objek tata surya tertentu, dan update ini akan bisa dinikmati oleh pengguna lainnya. Setahuku, sudah ada juga proyek Open Source yang memiliki tujuan seperti ini, yakni Celestia. Mending kita support yang "gratisan" aja kali ya hehe..

Acara dilanjutkan dengan sesi tanya jawab. Beberapa komentar Bill Gates yang masih aku inget, seperti yang ditulis pada awal artikel ini. Yah, standar orang "jualan" sih, memang. Lucunya, Bill Gates sempat "mengklaim" produk E-Mail mereka (Microsoft Exchange) sebagai salah satu Mail Server terfavorit di dunia. Padahal, kita semua tahu, lebih dari 70% server di dunia ini menggunakan *nix based (which means, ga mungkin pake MS Exchange)

Di tengah-tengah acara, Bill Gates mengundang Tim Aksara ITB, juara Imagine Cup tahun lalu, ke atas panggung untuk menceritakan pengalaman mereka. Weis, dengan bangga, kita-kita peserta dari ITB bertepuk tangan, melihat teman-teman Aksara disalamin sama SBY dan Bill Gates. Mereka menceritakan pengalaman mereka mendesain sebuah sistem yang dapat dipakai oleh orang yang buta aksara untuk keluar dari keterbatasan tersebut. Eh, tapi akhir-akhirnya presentasi Tim Aksara "dimanfaatkan" untuk "jualan" juga dengan kalimat penutup : "All what we've done is simply impossible without Microsoft Technology" Pliss deh.. (-_-)"

Acara ditutup sekitar pukul 10.00 pagi. Seusai acara, kami sempet ngecengin kampus-kampus lain, eh salah (ntar ada yang cemburu :p), ngecengin menteri-menteri n' pejabat yang ITB banget gitu lho. Ada Pak Kusmayanto, Pak Wimar, trus siapa lagi gitu lupa! Pak Kus sempat ditanya tentang gimana kelanjutan proyek Indonesia Goes Open Source (IGOS) vs pendekatan Microsoft. Dengan santai Pak Kus menjawab : "Oh, dua-duanya berjalan beriringan, yang penting sama-sama memberikan dampak positif bagi perkembangan IT di Indonesia" Ho-oh, setuju lah awak. Asal ga banyak-banyak ngabisin duit buat beli produk Microsoft, seperti tahun lalu, Indonesia mbeli 35.496 unit Microsoft Windows dan 117.480 unit Microsoft Office, yang total keseluruhannya bernilai Rp 377,6 miliar. Hanya karena ingin "membersihkan" image sebagai negara pembajak..

Salam Open Source! :-D

First things first, an Office suite. I ventured into the package manager and quickly located OpenOffice. Installation was simple but Application Launchers did not appear in the programs menu until I restarted. No biggie but it might confuse a newbie.

Configuring the look and feel of Gnome was just like any other distro so I won go into it.

The biggest disapointment was the Package Manager. Its certainly no Apptitude but it's pretty easy to use. Not a massive amount of apps to choose from but enough to make our install more than usable.

Would I use it over Ubuntu? Probably not but OpenSolaris is definatly not the worst disro I have used!

Then, we will invoice you.

No, wait, that's how it works in the corporatesphere, and the great part is, you get to bill for ALL of the above, plus the time you spend making shit up to talk about in the first place. But this is the Blogosphere, as differentiated from the Twittosphere. So, nobody is getting paid here.

Is this the point at which to mention that my canned Introduction to Social Media talk includes the song "Starfuckers, Incorporated?" Sure it is.

By the way, if I may be allowed to digress (and, since it is my own blog and raincoaster.com to boot it may truly be said that I am not only allowed to digress, but actually encouraged, nay, mandated to do so) and to name-drop as well (ditto, double) I would simply like to take this opportunity to mention that there is every indication and some considerable circumstantial evidence (moreso even than for the existence of fairies, of which we have written elsewhere at length) that this very website was visited by Trent Fucking Reznor. For realz.

Thank you. And now, back to our irregularly-scheduled blog post.

Drupal Camp Vancouver is nothing like Girl Guide Camp; for one thing the gender ratio is all wrong, and for another there are no s'mores. So, like, damn.

But once you get over that, it's not so bad. First of all, it begins, as do all good things which don't involve pubic lice, with a free drink ticket. In my case, because I am impecunious in the extreme and gifted with a sense of entitlement larger than the Grand Banks, it began with two, actually, because Dave is a self-declared old hippie and susceptible to the charms of a self-declared old goth such as myself, particularly if she's heavy on the "just got through teaching blogging to the marginalized population of the Downtown Eastside" speil, which I am wont to do just about whenever I wont to, which is definitely when it will give me free drinks, which is something I always wont except possibly at breakfast and even then I might just wont to pour it into a handy Wellington boot and save it for later.

It IS the Downtown EastSide, yo.

Tomorrow it continues (remember Drupal Camp? It's a blog post about Drupal Camp) with me volunteering. I have been assured/assurances have been made unto me that there is no reason to turn my world upside-down by presenting myself in, like, the morning. Thank god; I'd thought for a second they were going to be unreasonable or something. So for tomorrow the plan is that I will show up at some point and try to be more useful than annoying, although those of you who know me are aware that it tends to be a wash, whatever the amplitude or volume in question.

And after Drupal Camp packs up its Pug tents and its GPS-ess and stainless steel travel mugs for the day, I am to assist at Code Sprint, an event which I have neither witnessed nor participated in, but I am prepared to wear a festive hat and consume mint juleps and shoot the second-place finisher if that is what it takes.

Too soon?

Come and "jam" with fellow creatives, both technical and non-technical, from 6pm to 9pm. There's activities for right and left brainers, er, themers and coders, alike! The plan is for coders to focus on methods for adding mobile content and themers to focus on the creation of a mobile-friendly black-on-white theme. Don't worry about your skill level, everyone can participate.

The Fearless Media Project facilitates community participation in the creation of media and community dialogue on issues relevant to people in the Downtown Eastside (DTES) of Vancouver.

Which brings us to Fearless City Media. Which I told Scott I would link to once that bloody SEO-slaughtering splash page was ripped pixel by pixel out of the cyberverse and thrown into the deepest pit of Hell, but what the hell, I lied: sue me. Fearless City is what I do with my Thursday nights, manifesting the promise of equality and emancipation implicit in the Digital Revolution and bridging the Digital Divide by leading a blogging workshop for some of the most marginalized people in North America. I do this in the back room of an art gallery which works with artists suffering from mental illness or the aftereffects of abuse, in a neighborhood where, according to Statistics Canada, the average life expectancy is 33 years, lower than any nation on Earth.

What did you do Thursday night?

Yes, even I find me insufferable sometimes. Still. What did you?

The Mission

And this video right here is what I tried (and failed...maybe Code Sprint will fix this?) to post on my Fearless City blog: The Adventures of Homeless James Bond, which I stole from The Homeless Guy, an American blogger who's been blogging since before raincoaster was a twinkle in Cthulhu's third eye, posting from libraries and public computers all over his hometown.

The revolution is coming. And it will be Fabulous.

Class War in Blood Alley? And what happens to the losers?

]]> http://fredvanzwieten.wordpress.com/?p=9 Fri, 09 May 2008 07:37:51 +0000 Fred http://fredvanzwieten.wordpress.com/?p=9 I like Python. It's a great programming language. Although technically it's a scripting language and thus interpreted, you can create full blown apps with it. You can use it on almost all OSes in existence. It's Open Source of course!

After becoming a Linux fan I too had to make the choice: Gnome or KDE. After I investigated the background of both desktops extensively I choose KDE. It's underlying GUI toolkit, Qt from Trolltech, is superior to GTK+ (the GUI toolkit on wich Gnome is based). Qt is GPL-ed, but you can buy a seperate license if you want to create closed source software with it. Qt is also multiplatform. You can use it on Windows, MAC OS-X and Linux, among others.

Qt is a toolkit to be used with C++. Now wouldn't it be great if we could use it with Python... Well, we can! Language bindings are made to use Qt classes directly inside Python, called PyQt. For Qt v3.x it's called PyQt3 and for Qt v4.x it's called PyQt4 (duh!). The developer of these language bindings follows the same licensing policy as Trolltech does for Qt, so for Open Source development it's free to use. The same people who made the Qt binding's also developed Python bindings for KDE. There called PyKDE3 for KDE v3.x (which is based on Qt v3.x) and PyKDE4 for KDE v4.x (which is based on Qt v4.x)

So, with the combo Python, Qt, and PyQt, one can develop GUI applications that run natively on Windows, MAC OS-X and Linux, both as open source or close source.

Neat!

klik Next, atau klik Costumize terlebih dahulu untuk merubah paket-paket yang akan diinstall, Jika akan menginstall Apache-Tomcat sekaligus, klik costumize lalu tandai kolom ApacheTomcat karena secara default Apache-tomcat tidak ikut diinstall. Lalu muncul Persetujuan lisensi (License Agrement).

Tandai chekbox "i accept the term and condition" yang menandakan anda telah setuju dengan perjanjian lisensi seperti yang tertulis. klik next, lalu mucul

Tentukan pada direktori mana netbenas dan JDK akan diinstall, klik Next

isikan nama admin dan psswordnya

klik install untuk mulai menginstall, dan tunggu hingga proses instalasi selesai

Klik Finish untuk mengakhiri proses instalasi. Sekarang Netbeans sudah terinstall di dalam sistem linux, di beberapa distro linux tertentu akan dibuatkan shortcut untuk NetBeans, namun ada kemungkinan tidak akan dibuatkan shortcut juga, jika tidak ditemukan shortcutnya, silahkan buat link secara manual ke file eksekusi Netbeans. secara default file eksekusi ada di

/usr/local/netbeans-6.0.1/bin/netbeans

Atau tergantung dierktori yang anda gunakan untuk menaruh program ini pada saat proses instalasi.

Setelah program dipangil, Netbeans sudah dapat digunakan untuk membangun proyek java, antarmuka Netbeans mungkin sudah begitu familiar bagi yang sering menggunakan bahasa pemrograman Visual.
