GNS3 On Ubuntu 11.04 | The Ultimate Cisco Emulator
29
Jun
GNS3 is a graphical network simulator that allows simulation of complex networks precisely but not limited to Cisco.GNS3 uses Dynamips for emulating Cisco’s IOS and is quite similar with Cisco’s IOU i.e IOS on Unix (IOU) a fully working version of IOS that runs as a user mode UNIX.Problem is that we cannot use IOU in legal way since its usage is limited to Cisco only and not to mention even the discussion is prohibited.But to our rescue is GNS3 which does effectively what IOU is supposed to do.
About Dynamips
Dynamips emulates Cisco 7200/3600/3725/3745/2600/1700 Routers on a traditional
PC. You can use dynamips to create labs. It uses IOS Images (which are not
part of this package). Of course, this emulator cannot replace a real router.
It is simply a complementary tool to real labs for administrators of Cisco
networks or people wanting to pass their CCNA/CCNP/CCIE exams. For a Command
Line Interface for dynamips see dynagen or gns3 package.
Uget – Another Awesome Download Manager for Ubuntu
09
Jun
Uget (formerly urlgfe) is a Free and Open Source download manager written in GTK+ and can be made to use with aria2 for downloading files using torrents.Simply you may regard this as a aria2 GUI for torrents but nonetheless its much better & feature rich than aria2.
It has many of features like easy-to-use , cross-platform , support pause and resume , classify download , every category has an independent configuration and the latest release 1.8 promises much more than that.This review comes in wake of a recent question by one of my friend on email asking for another alternative download manager (my default being FatRat)
Firefox 5.0 Beta Testing on Ubuntu
23
May
Really ? Yes ! Firefox 5.0 public Beta & Firefox 6.0 Alpha are now avialable and are ready for testing purposes. We recommend you to keep them upto testing levels as they might annoy you with bugs. In this post we will throw a light on Firefox 5.0 and its key features and updates. It arrived faster than our expectations but its good. We ahve been testing it and so far only 1 bug was found which is potentially not much harmful. We would recommend you to install it only for testing purposes as it may not be good for Production machines.
