My thoughts on moving from Windows to Linux Mint

bootneck02

I am writing this in the Linux Forum as was not sure where to put it perhaps it should be in the general. Well anyway I have been a Microsoft user from 1999 using XP,Vista, W7, W8, and then W10. I had a dabble with Linux but never really used it because it was two much bother using dual boot also I worked in a local authority IT centre where if I wanted any help or downloads I could have them FOC ( I had nothing to do with computing I was the caretaker) anyway I was used to Microsoft's offerings and never thought about having to pay for the operating systems and the aps which you have to for to do the the things that you need to to make the OS work for you. When Windows 10 came out AND IT WAS FREE I installed it and was reasonably happy with it but I then I found it came a price and the price was that Microsoft would be monitoring stuff like, who you were emailing, what websites you going into etc, etc, even though you had supposedly used the control panel to negate that.

Any way as I have said I had dabbled once or twice with Linux Distro's and never really tried to understand them but was so fed up with Microcrap I tried several one was Zorin the other was Roblinux both full to the brim with apps but two many apps because they supposedly easy to migrate from Microsoft I found them full of features but really did not sit right with me and then I tried against my better judgement Linux Mint.  I found it was easy to use and there is a button to download World Community Grid, all you have to do is forget all Microsoft put all the things out of your mind that you know about that system and it is a new learning experience and as I am a silver surfer that could be a difficult thing but straingly I have found it easy to get my head around and enjoying the experience, so if you are questioning the morality of Microsoft monitoring your privacy have a look at Linux Mint or any other Linux distro you could be surprised and if you need help there many people on this site who will go out of their way to help you.

Mint does simplify the knowledge requirements for the Linux keyboard commands. Among non-programmers, the competition includes Apple tablets and macs which arguably easier to use than Mint.

Windows Communication Framework Services are not Posting

Hey,

I have multiple interconnected WCF services are hosted on IIS. I am also using a Windows ServiceBus to communicate with WCF services.They do not respond to any request after sometime even though I can browse metadata in the browser. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Kara Hewett

Implicitly, the issue is whether the WCF services are operational. You could check the services in Task Scheduler and ensure the "Started". Also the logs for Task Scheduler would identify any errors. Also you could ping if the servers are up.

How to end process using Java?

P: 1

rawash I am able to fetch all the processes which are running in Windows task Manager. Now I want to end a particular process from those processes. Is it possible in Java, or do i need to write some native code?? Oct 9 '09 #1 Kara Hewett You can also use Task Scheduler on a Windows Server and kill any java program which is running on that server.
