Tips and Tricks : Fedora Linux Distribution

I've been using this linux distro since I started using open source technology. I've also influenced my colleagues to us this for development purposes. Due to everything you need on developing application under open source standard is readuly available on this distro. It's like having an RedHat Linux free version.

One thing though is that out of the box it doesn't support third party packages. You'll need to stretch you technical skills to play an MP3 format music under Fedora.

Good thing that someone already complied a good How To's on this case.

Check out: http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/f9-tips.php

In the link above you'll have a step by step procedure on how will you tweak your Fedora distro.

Like the following:
# Install MP3 plug-in
# Install Macromedia Flash/Shockwave Plug-in
# Install DVD player
# Install MPlayer Media Player
# Install VLC (VideoLAN Client)
# Install RealPlayer 10 Media Player
# Install Java J2RE and Mozilla Plug-in
# Install NTFS driver
# Install Internet Explorer

Enjoy and have fun. Just a word of advise if you break something it's not my fault. I'm just giving an option. But in my experience I've never experienced breaking my Fedora installation.

Sports : Airsoft as a Sport

Airsoft is a hobby/sport/discipline, wherein replica firearms (pistols, assault and sniper rifles, etc.) that shoot 6mm plastic rounds, are used for personal collection, gaming (similar to Paintball), or professional training purposes (Military Simulations and Police training exercises). The difference between airsoft firearms and BB guns is that the former uses plastic bullets and have muzzle velocities of less than 500 feet per second (FPS) on average, which is generally considered safe/non-lethal when used in a controlled environment. BB guns utilize metal ammunition and shoot at higher velocities (up to, and over 1000 FPS), making them unsuitable for gaming and training purposes.

Airsoft games vary greatly in style and composition depending on location, budget, and the quantity of participants but often range from short-term skirmishes and organized scenarios to military simulations and historical reenactments.

Combat situations on the battlefield often involve the use of common military tactics to achieve the objectives set in each game. Participants typically use varying types of non-lethal weaponry designed as replicas of real firearms, tactical gear, and accessories used by modern military and police organizations.

T.V. : Ghost Whisperer Season 5 Episode 10

Title : Excessive Forces

To start with my review, I'll give this episode a score of 7. Not a to suspense episode on this case. Not also a scary one. But the plot will keep on watching the episode up to the end. A lot of twists and turns all through out the episode.

As I've mentioned on my last review from the last episode. I thought there would be an additional character to be added on the cast. But on this episode it was not the case. I hope that they will add Det. Sam Blair on the cast.

This episode is about a High school student whom apparently died due to skateboarding accident. This is when Melinda gets started on the real cause of his death. Jim had a bad feeling on this case due to he's very much worried with Melinda's safety due to a cop involvement and series of events that might added suspicions.

Not a very good episode but worth it to watch.
