LINUX REVOLUTIONIZED..... Puppy Linux


Puppy Linux is a LiveCD Linux distribution that is very small and focuses on ease of use. The entire operating system and all the applications run from RAM, allowing the boot medium to be removed after the operating system starts. Included are applications such as SeaMonkey, AbiWord, Sodipodi, Gnumeric, and Gxine/xine. The distribution was developed from scratch by Barry Kauler; it is not based on any other distribution.FEATURESPuppy can be useful for working on old computers, as an emergency rescue system, as a Linux demonstration system, or as a complete general purpose operating system. It can boot from:* A USB flash drive/keydrive or any other bootable USB storage device (flash-Puppy)* A CD-ROM (live-Puppy), with six flavours to choose from.* A Zip drive or LS-120/240 SuperDisk (zippy-Puppy)* An internal hard drive (hard-Puppy)* A computer network (thin-Puppy)* An emulator (emulated-puppy)* A floppy boot disk that loads the rest of the operating system from a USB drive, CD-ROM, or internal hard driveInstalling a version of Puppy on hard disk, USB disk, Zip disk, etc. can be done from live-Puppy or another existing installation.GUIPuppy comes with a choice of 2 graphical servers: X.org (full-featured) and Xvesa (lightweight). A wizard during the start-up process guides the user through setting up a graphical server appropriate for their video card & monitor. At the end of the wizard the user will be presented with a desktop and window manager; the default WM in most Puppy releases is JWM. The 2.15 Community Edition provides the IceWM manager by default.DotPup packages of the IceWM desktop, Fluxbox and Enlightenment are also available via a link on the Puppy Linux Wiki.When the operating system boots, everything in the Puppy package uncompresses into a RAM area, the "ramdisk". The PC needs to have at least 128 MB of RAM (with no more than 8 MB shared video) for all of Puppy to load into the ramdisk, however it is possible for it to run on a PC with only about 48 MB of RAM because part of the system can be kept on the hard drive, or in the worst case, left on the CD.Puppy is fairly full-featured for a system that runs entirely in a ramdisk; applications were chosen that met various constraints, size in particular. Because one of the aims of the distribution is to be extremely easy to set up, there are a number of wizards that take the user through the process of a range of common tasks.HISTORYStarting with version 3.00, Puppy Linux features Slackware 12 compatibility.[2] This is accomplished by the inclusion of almost all the dependencies needed for the installation of Slackware packages. However, this does not mean that Puppy Linux is now a Slackware-based distribution.[3]Puppy version 2.14 (86.5 MB) uses the Mozilla-based SeaMonkey as its Internet suite (primarily a web browser and e-mail client). It comes in different sized editions.* The standard edition uses AbiWord as the word processor and is 68 MB; a live-CD ISO file with Mozilla Firefox is 52.4 MB; with the full Mozilla suite it is 55.3 MB; with Opera it is 49.6 MB.* A 96.1 MB "Chubby Puppy" version includes the OpenOffice.org suite as well.* A 39.9 MB "BareBones Puppy" version contains no GUI,* and an 83 MB "zdrv" standard edition, which contains more kernel drivers and firmware.Along with Morphix, Puppy Linux is one of the few Linux LiveCD distributions able to save files to the LiveCD itself (multisession), allowing users to carry data, and more importantly, added programs and customized settings, along with them in the CD. Puppy-multisession is 55.7 MB.Puppy 1 series will run comfortably on very dated hardware. For newer systems, the USB keydrive version might be better (although if USB device booting is not directly supported in the BIOS, the Puppy floppy boot disk can be used to kick-start it). It is possible to run Puppy Linux with Windows 9x/Windows Me. It is also possible, if the BIOS does not support booting from USB drive, to boot from the CD and keep user state on a USB keydrive; this will be saved on shutdown and read from the USB device on bootup.

The request has both SAS authentication scheme and 'Bearer' authorization scheme. Only one scheme should be used

Image
While doing testing after doing a POC on Securing Logic App with Azure Active Directory authentication , where I have put logic app behind APIM and before passing the request to logic app, apim does validation of the token.  I was encountered with an error "The request has both SAS authentication scheme and 'Bearer' authorization  scheme.  Only one scheme should be used." Why it happened After validating the token which is part of the header i.e. Authorization, APIM forwards the request as it is to backend. As  Logic app is configured as  back end , it's url already consist of SAS signature plus the request also has Authorization section and this is the problem. By default every request endpoint on a logic app has a Shared Access Signature (SAS) in the endpoint's URL, which follows this format: https://<request-endpoint-URI>sp=<permissions>sv...

Getting Started with Logic Apps - AS2

Image
What is AS2? Every enterprise requires some kind of product, service or counselling from another enterprises thus there happens a B2B(business to business) communications, some of the communication is unique whereas most of the communications are common for most of the enterprises e.g., Purchase Order. But every enterprise has there own way(format) of sending the messages, leading to difficult management when number of partners increased.  Considering this the Enterprise leaders decided to have some standards/rules defined across the communication leading to B2B protocol standards which provide guidelines for trading partners to follow when conducting business between enterprises. EDI X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOM etc. AS2 stands for Applicability Statement 2 and is a B2B messaging protocol used to transmit Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)/Business documents from one organization to another. So EDI standards define how to format data and AS2 specifies how to securely transport...

How to Debug and Trace request in Azure APIM - Portal, Postman, RequestBin

Image
Introduction  APIM is a great option to expose API's with out of box features for applying restrictions, preprocessing, postprocessing etc. You can leverage existing API's,  by importing it and it gets added as a new API with all the operations associated with it. And based on the requirements you  apply policies at the stage/level (Inbound,Backend/Outbound) and you are ready to use the API. Before it is shared, we do some testing to make sure everything is working as per the expectation and this is where Debugging and Tracing request becomes important. APIM does provide a way to Trace a call with the help of  Ocp-Apim-Trace http header. So whichever request/call is to be traced, it needs to include this in header  with the value set to true and it has dependency on another header, so that also needs to be passed i.e.  Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key Note: The api on which Tracing is to applied , it requires the subscription key to be en...
