Hell of work I’m doing these days. But this funny and freaking idea of future web started to ghost through my mind! May be I’m overloaded with work and started to see things. Whatever..
The future web. What would it be like? It keeps developing and developing 24 hours nonstop. Millions and billions of geeks/freaks/nerds and hackers are trying to make a new change. Speed is optimized by software+hardware and reliability is Secured by firewalls but on other hand its not a safe place anymore to visit.
This is my crazy idea (please don’t get freaked out
).The future web may not have any browsers to browse or computer screens. Users may wear handy looking high tech “browsing goggles” . There will be nice comfortable “browsing chars” to give you those fancy vibrating and shaking real life effects. And your DTS surround system may serve as the noise of world wide web.
Then you power on your high power PC which definitely runs GNU/Linux. Then you turn on the browsing goggles…
First you will feel the empty 3D cyberspace around you, dark and silent. Then you may notice billions of tiny little particles of web sites. You may able to touch them,move them or throw them away in to the deep cyberspace as you wanted. Yeah they may Emmit beautiful colors too. I guess my favorite networks like google, youtube and wordpress will appear as giant colorful,glorious galaxies. Suddenly you wants to find something.. System takes 0.5mses to reads your brain signals and identify what you wanted and send a virtual character in front of you . Mostly it will be a kind looking lady in a pure white dress(mostly with the google logo). She identifies her self to you and asks your requirement. Then she may grab the the missing particle and give it to you…
Wow just think how it would be like! Freakingly awesome huh. I think Its better to stop now. Because you may already thinking that Dushi has gone crazy! Who knows this comic may be a prediction of the future web! What do you think of the future web? Will it be something like I mentioned ? Or is it just another freakish idea? What ever it is feel free to comment..
adios

Yes, by all it means now it is also inside my pen drive. But what’s so special?
Answer: mm… its only 94MB of capacity, it allows persistent data and it has all the features of a normal distro . So what else I need?

- PyppyLinux4.1
Haha .. Let me explain. I heard about a very small Linux distro by a friend of mine. So I looked forward to find out more. It was ‘Puppy Linux4.1.2’. You can also download it from www.puppylinux.com. First I thought ‘oh its only 94 mega bytes… What the hell it should be some kind of useless crap’. But at the end it really pissed me about my under estimation! As I mentioned now its in my pen drive. its clean, stable and very user-friendly. I spend only about 8 minutes to install, maybe less. It only gets seconds to boot into the RAM. Then you are good to go. This distro is specially designed for hot plugs. You can plug it to any machine which has minimum of 48MB of RAM and 8MB of Shared Video. But you want be loosing your default settings and other saved data. That’s what I meant by ‘persistent data’. Puppy asks you to save all your settings into the drive you are currently using. Mostly it’ll be a small file with some allocated mega bytes in your pen. Not like other Linux distros, you need not have to make special partitions or file systems in your pen drive or other device. If its default file system is FAT, You can install Linux on FAT. That’s because the installed location only contains compressed files and at the bootstrap it uncompress them to the RAM.
Puppy 4.1.2 has two graphical servers. ‘X.org’ and ‘Xvesa’ (I use Xvesa). Its default desktop mostly looks like KDE. It gives ‘abiword 2.6.3’ as a word processor. I felt it like Open Office while I’m using it. It has ‘SeaMonky1.1.11’ for browsing (something like Firefox). It has a handy Personal Organizer call ‘OSMO’. Like the other organizers it allows you to maintain your contacts, tasks and calendar. Like that ‘Calc’ for spread sheets, ‘InkscapeLIte’ and ‘mtpait3.21’ a simple GTK paining program for art work, ‘Geany 0.12’ the fast & light weight IDE, The puppy PDF converter (this is the first time I got a PDF converter as a default of the OS) and it also provide CD ripping tools like ‘Ripoff CD song ripper’ and also a number of CD/DVD burning software.
A special thing I saw about Puppy Linux is it covers all the main requirements of a normal user. Finally have to say something about its ‘Gxin 0.5.9 media player’. It runs almost all types of media formats (I personally experienced good results by running following media formats: – .avi,.mp4,.mp3,.3gp,.DAT,.mpg,.divx,.wmv,) .
You really have to try out ‘Puppy Linux’ in your machine. And feel free to comment your thoughts.
