Linux logo secret

Why a Penguin for Linux logo:

The competition to Windows and Mac OS, Linux also has a penguin as its logo (and mascot). Named 'Tux', the penguin was chosen from a list of sharks, foxes, eagles and hawks as the Linus Torvalds, the founder of Linux, had a liking for the bird and thought it to be unusual and different for a logo. While the other creatures were fierce and strong, Linus insisted on the penguin being “fat, cute and cuddly - instead of anything else. Incidentally the name 'Tux' was brought up from Torvalds UniX -TUX.
The official Linux Penguin chosen by Linus Torvalds is the image shown below, and is now distributed as part of the Kernel. The penguin was designed by Larry Ewing, and a variety of different images can be found on his web site.

Interesting domain name facts

There are 253,000+ non-IDN domains that are 32 characters or longer, including 538 that are 63 characters long.

As mentioned, 100% of 2 and 3 letter domain names are taken, but it starts to free up as the number of possibilities expodes, all the way up to 63-character domain names. The most popular registered domain name length is actually 11 characters long, tailing off from there.

The most common letter to start a domain is S, with relatively few domains starting with Q, X, Y or Z.

While the most common digit to start a domain is, unsurprizingly, 1.

Q. When the expired domain name will be deleted or available?

A. When the owner does not renew a domain, the registrar will put it on hold, usually for a couple of months, before finally letting it become available. Unfortunately, registrars keep expiring domains on hold for anything between two and six months, or even more. However, it is often possible to recognise domains that are just about to become available. When the registrar finally allows the domain to expire it is still retained in the shared registry for a further 5 or 6 days.

Windows USB driver for VMware Guest Virtual Machine

Problem is the AnywhereUSB drivers do not install on a VMWare ESX Server:

Here is steps for installing USB driver for ESX VMware Windows Guest Virtual Machine.
Since ESX Server does not provide direct support for USB, USB drivers are not installed in the guest operating system by default. Devices such as AnywhereUSB depends on the USB core files to install properly.
To enable the rest of the installation to proceed normally, copy and rename the required file
from the original operating system CD.
• Source: usbd.sy_ in the \I386 directory of the CD
• Destination: usbd.sys in the \system32\drivers directory of the guest operating
system
After copying this file, reboot the machine.

How to add LPT Parallel port to ESX virtual machine

Mapping Parallel Ports in a Guest Virtual Machine
To connect the virtual machine's first parallel port (LPT1) to the physical computer's
first parallel port, do the following steps:
1. Reboot the physical host and go the BIOS setup. Normally, you do it by
pressing F2 or Delete while the machine is booting. Find the parallel port mode
setting and set it to PS/2. (The choices are AT and PS/2.) If PS/2 is not
available as an option, set it to bidirectional.
2. Log on to the console operating system as root and enter the following
commands:
/sbin/insmod parport
/sbin/insmod parport_pc
/sbin/insmod ppdev
Type lsmod and confirm that these modules are in the listing of loaded
modules.
To make these changes permanent, add the three lines shown above to the end
of the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
3. Be sure the virtual machine is shut down and powered off, then add the
following options to the virtual machine's configuration file.
• Add an option called parallel0.present and set its value to true.
• Add an option called parallel0.fileName and set its value to “/dev/
parport0”.
• Add an option called parallel0.bidirectional and set its value to
true.
4. Be sure the virtual machine is using virtual hardware version 6. Look for the
following line in the configuration file:
config.version = 6
This line should already be present in the configuration file for any virtual
machine created with ESX Server 1.5.x. and later. If the virtual machine was
created under ESX Server 1.0 or 1.1 and has not already been updated, add the
config.version = 6 line to the configuration file.
Important: When the virtual machine starts after you update the virtual hardware
version, you see a dialog box with the message “The CMOS of this virtual
machine is incompatible with the current version of VMware ESX Server. A new
CMOS with default values will be used instead.” Click OK. As the virtual machine
starts, the guest operating system may detect new virtual hardware and install
drivers for it. Respond to any messages as you would if upgrading the hardware
on a physical computer.
5. Start the virtual machine using the remote console. As it starts to boot, click
inside the remote console window, then press F2 to enter the virtual machine's
BIOS setup. Go to the Advanced I/O Device Configuration section and configure
the parallel port mode for the virtual machine to bidirectional.
Now your virtual machine can use a dongle or other parallel port device.
Important: As you start the virtual machine, you may see a message warning that the
parallel port is starting disconnected. If you do, connect to the virtual machine with a
remote console and use the remote console's Devices menu to connect the parallel
port.
Important: Only one operating system can be connected to the parallel port at one time.

ESX VMWare and USB port

VMWare GSX and workstation support USB hence those VMs support USB based dongles and devices.But ESX doest support USB hence its VMs dont support USB based dongles and devices.So you cannot map physical usb with the ESX based virtual machine (ie) guest machine.

Alternatives:
1.Consider LPT/Parallel port mapping.It is supported on ESX.Check esx25admin.pdf manual from vmware website.So LPT based Hardware Keys are better as of now.(Important:Now a days servers are coming with out LPT/Parallel ports.Be aware)
or
2.go for USB over IP options like USB over network http://www.usb-over-network.com/usb-over-network.html
3.Anywhere USB http://www.digi.com/products/usb/anywhereusb.jsp
or
4.go for physical server. :)
