Elcot provides a way to use the open-source technology for the students by
installing boss linux in laptop.
I know many of us don't even like to boot into boss linux. Simply
we neglect and go to windows stright.
They gave much more than other linux based operating systems.
They installed restricted extras, audio video codecs, vlc media player, wine 1.2(but now wine 1.5 is available) java and more.
Boss linux also have some drawbacks. Their repositories are just too old.
we can't install firefox browser by telling
$ apt-get install firefox
it will show some error message. simply firefox is not in their repositories.
So i'm going to show you how to add debian repositories into boss linux. Don't get freak debian is also a gnu/linux operating system. many popular os's like ubuntu is based on debian. Boss is also based on debian linux.
so debian binaries are fully compatible with boss linux.
let us begin..
open your terminal and goto /etc/apt/ by telling
$ cd /etc/apt
now
$ sudo gedit sources.list
and add this two lines at the bottom
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main
if you don't want the boss repositories just add # before that line.
now close and type
$ sudo apt-get update
after fully updated the indexes you can now easily install debian binaries
into boss linux.
just try to install firefox
$ sudo apt-get install firefox
drop your valuable comments..
they give me some boost to write more..
