Fedora 11 Installation (Using Replace Existing Linux)

Caution: I’m still one of the Linux noobs, so you will find noobie words here

Not so important: Why did I try to install Fedora 11?

A couple a days ago, I attended the Fedora 11 Launch in Capital Tower. The presentation mainly showed off some cool[er] features of that Fedora. Some highlighted features that captured my attention are as follows.

1. Desktop effects can work in Intel GM 965 chipset without any problem.
   I used Fedora 7, which has pulled my hair because desktop effects made my laptop frozen.
2. The theme design looks pretty cool.
   Past Fedoras like Fedora 8 are also cool though. But I think Fedora 11 is … <3
3. Virtualization also works well.
   The mouse movement was said to be smoother than before.
4. The stored data can be encrypted.
   You can tell Fedora 11 to encrypt your data so that only you can use it. This feature is useful in case your laptop is stolen.
5. Your desktops can be customized as you like.
   Do you want to make your Fedora looks like Mac or Windows? Don’t worry, there are docks and themes available to be downloaded. Do you want to know how hot.. erm.. how much your cpu temperature is? No problem.
   You can use software add/remove to install stuffs for your desktops. [You must have good internet connection, though.]

Observing Java Frameworks

[Hm... probably not exactly Java... It's J(2)EE..]

I’ve read a bit about JBoss Seam, Spring MVC, EJB, Hibernate, JSF, Visual JSF, Visual JSF (ICEFaces), and Facelets from the Internet and some books in library. Finding out about what each of them is good at is pretty much troublesome [just like "The Paradox of Choice"].

However, for some reason, I have more satisfaction from having the freedom of knowing what they do than having one framework that simply works out of the box.

Anyway, here are some points that I’ve gathered. [I group frameworks that functionally quite similar.]

Checklist for SaaS: Facebook Using Tomcat 6.0.18

I tried this example using Netbeans 6.5 + Tomcat 6.0.18 [+ Java 1.6.0u11]. That example is quite clear, except that I have to do two more things below.

• Putting http://localhost:8084/MyFriendSaas/FacebookSocialNetworkingServiceAuthenticator in Post-Authorize Callback URL (see Facebook Developer > Edit Settings > Authentication)
• Importing TopLink Essentials to compile-time libraries [as mentioned in this page]

In the Facebook Developer > Edit Settings, I also try to:

• Uncheck Users and Facebook Pages Installable to? (see Authentication section)
• Enable Sandbox Mode (see Advanced section)

After that, the example works fine… for me.
