Era Ubuntu Segera Berakhir ?

from :  http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20091026#news

Only a few days remain before the final release of Ubuntu 9.10, the 11th stable release of the distribution that is clearly marching from strength to strength. As is always the case on release days, don’t expect the main Ubuntu server and its mirrors to function at lightning speeds, at least until the initial demand is satisfied. Fortunately, there will likely be alternatives to watching the snail-like progress of the download indicator as early Ubuntu reviews, analyses, commentaries and interviews will surely fill many technical web sites, big and small. If you are eager to start reading on “Karmic Koala”, the page carrying the official release notes is an excellent starting point. But for those who are eagerly awaiting the freshly pressed Ubuntu CDs to arrive in their mail boxes, there is some bad news – for the first time in its history, Canonical has decided to limit the free media to certain categories of users, such as official user groups, Ubuntu contributors or people who are unlikely to have access to other forms of obtaining the distribution: “We will continue to supply CDs to LoCo teams and Ubuntu members. And we hope to make CDs available to everyone who is just discovering Ubuntu. But we are limiting shipments to people that we think have alternative paths of getting Ubuntu.”

20 Features in Mandriva 2010

I love Ubuntu and I am an Ubuntu user a long time ago but the next version Ubuntu 9.10 seems to focus on wallpapers and themes !! I don’t like Ubuntu’s way of development. It is just focusing on themes and ignoring important projects like PulseAudio and X.org.
In this article I will talk a little about the new features that will be in Mandriva 2010. The final version is expected to be available on the 3rd of November.
Mandriva Linux 2010 is aimed at improving the user experience for daily tasks. let’s have a look to what’s new :

1- New design for installer

To better user experience of installation, the Mandriva developers thought that installer design is quite old now and need to be refreshed to stay ahead of competition. The next screenshot shows the new design.

2- Live upgrade

Finally, Mandriva Online will be able to notify user about the  new version of the distribution and propose the system to upgrade it without using installer.

3- Moblin desktop

Mandriva 2010 will include the Moblin 2.0 environment designed for mobile desktop platforms, making Mandriva Linux the first distribution to integrate it in a free distribution.This environment has been designed for mobile desktop platforms. Netbooks are a given target but you can also use it when you want an ergonomic and simple environment for daily tasks.
Installing it is easy: install task-moblin package in rpmdrake and choose Moblin in connection manager.

4-  Guest accounts

Guest accounts, based on the xguest package, can now be established to offer safe temporary access to the system via gdm or kdm.

Slackware 13 : slackpkg ke kambing

ok, proses instalasi gak perlu di bahas… pada intinya proses yang saya lakukan cuman menggunakan CD 1 dari 3 CD installer
konfigurasi network juga gak perlu di bahas juga.

setelah selesai dan bisa masuk ke konsole, langkah yang pertama kali saya lakukan adalah menambah daftar repository online slackware 13 yang ada di indonesia, dalam contoh ini saya menggunakan repo dari kambing aka http://kambing.ui.ac.id ato lebih lengkapnya disini http://kambing.ui.ac.id/slackware/slackware-current/.

login sebagai root, dan langsung edit file/etc/slackpkg/mirror

root@slacky:~# vim /etc/slackpkg/mirrors

kemudian tambahkan baris berikut untuk menambahkan repo dari server kambing

#Kambing
http://kambing.ui.ac.id/slackware/slackware-current/

setelah itu, simpan dan jalan perintah :

DNS Server dengan BIND

Setelah tahapan instalasi dns server dengan bind di Linux Mandriva 2009.1, disini. Sekarang kita bikin skenario bahwa DNS Server ini akan di gunakan untuk beberapa domain Internet.

Misalnya IP Public DNS Server yang akan digunakan adalah 125.125.125.1 (DNS master saja/simple), dengan IP resolv adalah ns.semusim.info.
Dan IP domain semusim.info ber IP 125.125.125.2

Domain yang dipake adalah semusim.info. Masuk dulu ke Control Panel domain semusim.info dan arahkan NS server ke alamat ns.semusim.info.

Ok, persiapan selesai. Sekarang tinggal mengkonfigurasi mesin DNS server ns.semusim.info di IP 125.125.125.1.

[root@server /]# vim /etc/named.conf

Tambahkan di bagian paling bawah baris isian berikut

zone “semusim.info” IN {
type master;
file “reverse/semusim.info”;
notify no;
};

Kemudian simpan. Setelah itu bikin file semusim.info di /var/lib/named/var/named/reverse (ingat bind di mandriva udah mode chroot). Jadi tinggal bikin aja file semusim.info nya seperti ini :

[root@server /]# vim /var/lib/named/var/named/reverse/semusim.info

Isi :

; Zone file for semusim.info

@ IN SOA ns.semusim.info. root.semusim.info. {
2009071401 ; serial
8H ; refresh
3H ; retry
1W ; expire
1D ; default_ttl
}

localhost A 127.0.0.1
semusim.info A 125.125.125.2
ftp CNAME semusim.info
www CNAME semusim.info

Simple Captive Portal

Apa itu captive portal ? cek disini :

• http://bayu.blitar.org?l=4N3xycoG
• http://bayu.blitar.org?l=_HGNb_Vd
• dll

dan pada dasarnya seperti ini :

Captive Portal merupakan suatu teknik autentikasi dan pengamanan data yang lewat dari network internal ke network eksternal. Captive Portal sebenarnya merupakan mesin router atau gateway yang memproteksi atau tidak mengizinkan adanya trafik, sampai user melakukan registrasi terlebih dahulu ke dalam sistem. Biasanya Captive Portal ini digunakan pada infrastruktur wireless seperti hotspot area, tapi tidak menutup kemungkinan diterapkan pada jaringan kabel.

Ok, langsung aja, kita akan bikin Captive Portal sederhana, dengan menggunakan :

• Mandriva Linux 2009.1 (http://bayu.blitar.org?l=aqR5Pneu)
• Coova Chilli (http://bayu.blitar.org?l=NOa0OAbb)
• Freeradius (http://bayu.blitar.org?l=rUjUVXBP)
• 2 Ethernet card, 1 ke arah Internet, 1 ke arah LAN

MySQL nya ? ntar aja, kita mo bikin captive portal sesimple dulu. Lanjut …

Install Mandriva 2009.1, bisa merujuk ke http://bayu.blitar.org?l=AucYwqtw , lainnya terserah Anda .

Setelah instalasi Mandriva Linux, jangan lupa install webserver nya :

urpmi apache

Setelah ok semua, kita lanjut ke instalasi inti dari captive portal itu sendiri, yaitu coova-chilli dan Freeradius. Oiya, sebelome untuk melanjutkan proses ini, jangan lupa juga menyambungkan mandriva linux ke repository terdekat. Gambarannya isa diliat disini : http://bayu.blitar.org?l=AmEHtkFr.

Install Coova ChilliSpot

urpmi chillispot

atau

urpmi coova

Setelah selesai, langsung jalankan :

/etc/init.d/chilli start

atau

service chilli start

Dengan perintah diatas, disamping kita menjalankan service/layanan captive portal, kita juga menggenerate otomatis konfigurasi untuk captive portal. Dan konfigurasi standar hasil generate ini di letakkan di :

/etc/chilli/

[server@smpn1ksb ~]$ ls -l /etc/chilli
total 40
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 5776 2009-06-22 11:58 defaults
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 385 2008-12-17 06:33 down.sh*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8045 2008-12-17 06:33 functions*
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 0 2009-06-23 06:00 hs.conf
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 0 2009-06-23 06:00 local.conf
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 851 2009-06-23 03:42 main.conf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 319 2009-06-23 05:42 route.sh*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1596 2009-06-23 05:36 up.sh*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-06-21 09:32 www/
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 670 2008-12-17 06:33 wwwsh*
[server@smpn1ksb ~]$

Untuk file /etc/chilli.conf jangan diutak atik, biarkan standar/default dulu. Dengan hasil konfigurasi seperti diatas. Captive Portal ini sudah bisa digunakan.

Diagram gambar Jaringan :

Internet <> Modem <> Captive Portal <> LAN

Meskipun captive portal sudah bisa digunakan, dan bisa melayani permintaan dari LAN. Ini masih ada kelemahannya. Kelemahannnya adalah :

• Langsung tersambung ke server radius coova.org
• Tidak bisa langsung digunakan untuk akses internet, harus daftar ke coova.org

Untuk mengatasi kelemahan tersebut, kita akan pasang Server Radius sendiri menggunakan Freeradius.

Menggunakan DNS Awari dan OpenDNS di PC Router Linux

Ok. Langsung aja.

IP DNS :

OpenDNS :

• 208.67.222.222
• 208.67.220.220

AWARI :

• 203.34.118.10 (primary)
• 203.34.118.12 (secondary)

ISP Anda :

• x.x.x.x
• x.x.x.x

Disini menggunakan Linux Mandriva yang berfungsi sebagai PC Router/Gateway bagi Warung Internet/Warnet. Aplikasi DNS Server yang digunakan (tepatnya adalah DNS Cache) adalah dnsmasq.
