Wine 1.4 Released

08 Mar

Wine 1.4 has been released today and includes support for a wide range of applications, including Microsoft Office 2010.  This release represents 20 months of development effort and over 16,000 individual changes. The main highlights are the new DIB graphics engine, a redesigned audio stack, and full support for bidirectional text and character shaping. There are some major architectural changes and a new audio stack designed around the newer Vista / Win 7 system and integrated into the native audio system. Almost every other subsystem received substantial updates, including Direct3D, the Gecko-based web browsing components, and better internationalization.

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.
