Mirror or download a website with a tool much better than wget

2010-05-19 1 min read Bash Fedora Linux

If you want to mirror a <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/website" title="Website" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website">website, the simplest tool I know if is <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/wget" title="Wget" rel="homepage" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/">wget. Once you have used wget, you know the troubles associated with it. You also get added couple of files as search html files, which are useless and wastage of bandwidth for you as well as the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/web_server" title="Web server" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_server">webserver.

lftp -e &#8221;mirror -c&#8221;

Build custom KDE ditro online in minutes with your selection of packages

2010-03-10 1 min read Linux

There&#8217;s a new guy in the block and its called NimbleX. From various sources, I have found that this is quite fast. I am downloading this currently. The main advantage is that the distro is of just 200MB with most of the day to day utilities available in the distro by default.

<img title="Custom Nimble" src="http://blog.amit-agarwal.com/wp-content/uploads//logos/customNXb1.png" alt="Custom Nimble" width="264" height="67" />

And if you think that this is just not for you as you like some package and its missing from NimbleX, no problem. Just go <a href="http://custom.nimblex.net/ " target="_blank">here, and create your own live distro withing minutes with custom package&#8217;s that can be used as Live CD or can be installed on the HDD/USB. Now that&#8217;s generations ahead of Windows or any other OS. What do you say?

The Consumerist: &#8221;Citibank won&#8217;t let customers using Linux computers log in to their online accounts. Adam argues that in 2009 this doesn&#8217;t make sense, especially when no other major corporate website blocks him like this.&#8221;

URL: <a href="http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2009-10-31-001-39-IN-BZ-SW">http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2009-10-31-001-39-IN-BZ-SW

But in India too we don&#8217;t have much too different environment. Though I do not have any issues with the Citibank site, but I have HDFC Insurance. I always pay the premium online. This time the payment failed couple of times and the amount was deducted from my account. When checked with the Customer Service Desk, the confirmed that the payment option does not work on Firefox with Linux. For this time I have made the payment using Cash, but why should there be OS discrimination.
