They Tell Me Only To Use Microsoft Windows Not The Free Linux Operating System

March 27th, 2010

Most people purchase computers to run programs – whether it is to send email, browse the web, meet friends of girlfriends on msn messenger, do office work or just play solitaire.

People buy computers to use programs for their functionality not to run operating systems be in Microsoft Windows, the new Microsoft Vista product , the Mac Operations Systems or the various Linux Operating Systems – be they Ubuntu Linux , Mandiva , Knoppix or Debian.

At the heart of most computer users is functionality and usability. It is as simple as that. It is an interesting situation that the Microsoft Corporation controls the vast lion’s share of the computer operating system market. Indeed it even has a major share holding of the next player in line – Apple with the Macintosh OS (Operating System).

What are the issues?

1) Linux is not really free. Linux, in its various flavors or distros, is given free of charge, whether it is on a cd, DVD or downloaded. You can install the program on your own compute or various computers , at no charge to yourself whatsoever

This is in direct contrast to a commercial product such as Microsoft Windows or the new Microsoft Vista which you to purchase a boxed version or a valid license which comes with most computer systems purchased. This license which comes on most new computers as a matter of course could be referred to as the “Microsoft Computer Tax” and is not an option you can forego, to reduce the purchase of your new compute – whether or not you wish to use another operating system such as Linux.

Linux is given free of charge to install. This is not a shareware or time limited version of the product which requires a registration fee after a period of time.

If you require product support or training commercial organizations do exist which will charge you for support of that product or for training or both. Indeed it can be said that Microsoft itself charges for product support, Symantec the antivirus / security organization charges for basic support by product, subscription fees – sometimes automatic subscription fees and 900 phone number and charge card “Priority Support”.

Indeed you would not expect your local school or technical college to provide computer and compute software training free of charge.

2) Linux is complex and will force you to learn the Linux command line,

Not true simple as that. The various Linux distros all have GUI (Graphic User Interfaces) just like Microsoft Windows, Windows used to come as command line DOS. Windows users use pull down windows to operate the software. So can and do most Linux users

3) Compared to Windows , Installing Linux is Difficult

- The vast majority of computer users are computer neophytes and beginners.

These computer users purchase computers with the operations system Microsoft Windows or the Macintosh Operating System installed on their new computers. These people could not install the Windows Operating system and the device drivers necessary if their life depended on it. How the situation of a Linux is based computer any different.

It is only a matter of time until new computers come preinstalled with the Linux operating system. Imagine if Henry Ford had been told not to build new cars since there were few good roads available in America.

4) My Computer Hardware Just Works Under Windows

5) Again untrue in many cases and soon to be less of an issue as more and more computers will come preinstalled with a Linux operating system. Already Dell Computer (which was a Microsoft stalwart) is selling Linux based laptops. Interestingly the response to the Ubuntu Linux dell notebooks is quite positive, If you think Linux hardware compatibility is an issue try upgrading to the new Microsoft Vista from your previous Microsoft Windows product. You will find to your surprise that few if little of computer hardware are supported. You may have upgraded to the new Vista and found you have either no sound, good video or even internet connections via your network adapter device or wireless network adapter. And try undoing your upgrade to get back to your working windows version – it cannot be done.

Lastly you may say I run Windows since all of the programs I use are available only on the Windows operations system – since that is the dominant player in the market. You may well surmise that since Windows is the more than dominant player in the computer OS market that software developers write their product almost exclusively for the windows operations system and that market.

This is true. If you are using a specialized product for your job, industry, situation or preference you may well be locked in.

In the end most people buy and use computers for functionality and use. Most people use their computers for internet browsing , communication – whether it by email or messenger services (M.S.N. , Yahoo , Skype , Eyeball Chat) , downloading and burning music and in more than many cases for playing nothing more than computer games such as simple solitaire.

In these cases the functionality of Linux and its program base easily allows for this. Indeed many of the cutting edge programs and computer services come out of left field by computer software developers and enthusiasts whose preference of Computer Operating System is guess what – Linux in its various forms.

Resolving “Must load Linux kernel before initrd” Error Message in Linux Operating System

March 27th, 2010

Boot loaders such as GRUB (Grand Unified Bootloader), LILO (Linux Loader) etc. enable you to select to boot a particular operating system in multiboot or dual boot systems. After selecting the operating system (for example Linux), the booting process initially starts with the booting of Linux Kernel program. A Linux Kernel program is the central component of a computer operating system. It requires the corresponding drivers to access the device on which the file system is based. To avoid any conflict due to all imaginable drivers in the kernel, it uses initial ramdisk (intrd). The intrd is the temporary file system, which is mostly used for preparations before the real root file system can be mounted. Problems might occur when intrd gets loaded before Linux Kernel program. In such situations, the hard drive volume becomes un-mountable and the data saved in the hard drive becomes inaccessible. In such situations, you need to recover your data from the latest backup. In case, no backup is available or the backup is corrupted, you need to use efficient Linux Data Recovery applications to recover your lost data files.

Consider a practical example, when you attempt to boot Linux operating system, you encounter the below error message:

“Must load Linux kernel before initrd”

The above error message occurs each time you try to boot the Linux operating system on your computer. After the above error message appears, the data saved in the Linux volume becomes inaccessible.

Cause:

The above error message mainly occurs when the intrd gets loaded before the Linux Kernel program.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error and access the data, you need to remove the intrd from your computer. However, if you still encounter an error, then only option left is to access the volume by reinstalling the Linux operating system. A clean reinstall of the operating system will erase all previously stored data in the hard drive. In such scenarios, you need to recover lost data by using effective Linux Data Recovery software. These advanced recovery applications incorporate high-end scanning methods to recover lost data from a logically corrupted hard drive.

Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery serves the purpose of providing reliable and easy Linux Data Recovery. This read only Linux Recovery software supports Ext2, Ext3 and ReiserFS file systems. It gets installed on Windows (Vista, XP, 2003 and 2000) and the affected Linux drive should be connected as slave.

Understanding net operating income

June 15th, 2007

The income statement of a firm indicates the flow of sales, expenses and earnings during a period of time, typically on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis. 

Net Operating Income (NOI) is the product of subtracting operating expenses from gross income, excluding depreciation and amortization. In particular: 

Gross income: it includes any type of income associated with a property such as plant and equipment, parking fees, vending receipts etc. 

Operating expenses: they are costs incurred during the operation and maintenance of a property.  They include repairs and maintenance, insurance, management fees, utilities, supplies, property taxes, etc.   

Depreciation: it is an annual charge that reflects the estimated costs of the assets used during a specific period, typically a year. Depreciation refers typically to the plant and equipment, i.e. the tangible assets of the firm and it is subtracted after Net Operating Income is calculated in order to calculate the Net Income of the firm. 

Amortization: it is an annual charge that reflects the estimated costs of the assets used during a specific period, typically a year. Amortization refers typically to the intangible asses of the firm such as loans, patents, goodwill etc. and it is subtracted after Net Operating Income is calculated in order to calculate the Net Income of the firm. 

Example

We assume the following income statement in order to calculate the Net Operating Income (NOI) of firm X: 

1/ Calculating Gross Income

Net Sales = 38,000$

Cost of Sales = 23,700$

Gross Income = Net Sales – Cost of Sales = 38,000$ – 23,700$ = 14,300$

 

2/ Calculating Operating Expenses

Rent = 1,000$

Salaries = 3,500$

Utilities = 400$

Supplies = 1,500$

Equipment Repair and Maintenance = 150$

Advertising & Promotion = 1,600$

Loan Interest = 250$

Operating Expenses = 1,000$ + 3,500$ + 400$ + 1,500$ + 150$ + 1,600$ + 250$ = 8,400$

 

3/ Calculating Net Operating Income (NOI)

Net Operating Income = Gross Income – Operating Expenses = 14,300$ – 8,400$ = 5,900$

Net Operating Income (NOI) is used when calculating the Operating Profit Margin ratio of a firm. Operating Profit Margin ratio measures the operating efficiency of a firm indicating if the relationship of the fixed costs to the production volume. The higher the ratio, the better a company is because this indicates that the firm’s fixed costs are lower than the firms’ gross income.

The ratio is calculated as follows: 

Operating Profit Margin = Net Operating Income (NOI) / Net Sales.  

Assuming above example and plugging in our data in the formula we derive that:

Operating Profit Margin = Net Operating Income (NOI) / Net Sales = 5,900$ / 38,000$ = 15.5%

This means that firm X makes $0.15 before interest and taxes for every dollar of sales.

Buy Operating System Software

June 10th, 2007

Scout the market and you would surely find out for yourself that a task to buy operating system software could be a really costly task. For quite some time, computer users and buyers know that when they buy operating system software, they are expected to allocate a significant amount of budget for the purchase. Because prices of the products do not go down, it is just logical for consumers to strive to find out why such trends are never reversed.

 

To begin with, an operating system is software itself, a computer program that facilitates the management of computer resources. The OS is providing programmers with a useful and effective interface that is used to access and use the resources integrated in the computer. The operating system works by managing and allocating internal system resources and tasks. In other words, no computer application can ever be accessed and run without the use of an operating system. Thus, there is always a need to buy operating system software.

 

Setback

 

Of course, it is already a well-known fact that the price tag is one specific and unique setback that prevents people from easily and widely buying an operating system. If you are to buy operating system software, you should prepare a huge amount of money as such programs are not usually rolled out in the market at affordable and reasonable prices.

 

Thus, the price tag can be considered, the biggest setback. However, if you buy operating system software, you would easily infer and understand why the market is seeing more expensive OS. The answer lies on the usability and the necessity for any computer buyer to buy operating system software.

 

The high prices of OS also pave the way for the rise of many pirated and unauthorized versions of the software. Scout the market and you could surely come across pirated versions of OS. If you would buy operating system software, you surely would be at times tempted to check out the uses and advantages of pirated operating system. Experts could not blame users for resorting to buy operating system software that are fake and pirated.

 

A necessity

 

There is no denying that it is a necessity to buy operating system software. As mentioned, most computer programs and applications depend on what type of operating system is working in a computer. For example, a software manufacturer is requiring PCs to run at its own operating system as a prerequisite to the installation and use of its different applications and programs.

 

In this regard, there is no denying that buying and owning a computer operating system is a necessity. No computer application and program would ever run and function without the basic foundation and use of an operating system. Buy operating system software because a computer would really render inutile and useless without one.

 

Despite its expensiveness, you should still strive to buy operating system software. Most computer manufacturers and distributors are resorting to install OEM versions of such operating systems. This way, more consumers and computer buyers are more inclined and attracted to buy operating system software. Some users complain that they are finding it really hard and challenging to buy operating system software from different sources and venues in the market.

 

Actually, you have no choice but to buy operating system software. Now, the only option and choice you could take is deciding which products, brands or OS you should buy and install into your personal computer. As always, you should strive to choose and purchase what could be the best and most effective OS for you.

Net Operating Income and Real Estate Analysis

June 8th, 2007


Net operating income (i.e., NOI) is one of the most important calculations made in regard to any real estate investment because it represents the property’s potential income after all vacancy and operating expenses have been subtracted. In other words, net operating income represents the investment property’s productivity, or measure of cash flow.

To help plant the idea, consider net operating income in one of the following two ways, depending on whether or not a mortgage exists.

The investor pays all cash for the property. In this case, since the investment property has no debt, NOI virtually becomes the rate of return expected from a property for any given annual period before taxes and depreciation are considered. In other words, given no deduction for debt service (loan payment), you can regard net operating income as the annual cash flow (cash flow before taxes, or CFBT).

The investor finances the property. Here, since the property has a mortgage, NOI should be regarded as the anticipated amount of cash flow available to pay the mortgage. In this case, only the remainder of NOI (net operating income less annual loan payment) becomes the annual cash flow before taxes (or CFBT).

How to Calculate Gross Scheduled Income Less Vacancy and Credit Loss = Gross Operating Income Less Operating Expenses* = Net Operating Income

Example: Assume that you want to do an analysis on an income property that generates a GOI of $100,000 with Operating Expenses of $42,000. What is the NOI?

$100,000 Less $42,000 = $58,000

*Mortgage payments, depreciation, and capital expenditures are not considered operating expenses and therefore have no impact on net operating income.

It’s Role in Real Estate Investing

Net operating income plays a large role in a variety of real estate investment and holding period decisions. For instance, capitalization rate (cap rate) is calculated by dividing NOI by sale price. Likewise, property value (or the property’s sale price) is calculated by dividing NOI by the cap rate.

Example: Let’s continue to assume a net operating income of $58,000 (as in our example above) and a sale price of $580,000. What is the property’s capitalization rate?

Net Operating Income Divided by Sale Price = Cap Rate

$58,000 Divided by $580,000 = 10.0%

Okay, now let’s assume an NOI of $58,000 of and a cap rate of 8.0%. What is the property value?

Net Operating Income Divided by Cap Rate = Property Value

$58,000 Divided by 10.0% = $580,000

Net operating income also plays a large role with lenders. For example, Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) is calculated by dividing the net operating income by loan payment.

Net Operating Income Divided by Annual Loan Payment = Debt Coverage Ratio

$58,000 Divided by $46,000 = 1.26

How Credible Is It?

Conceptually, NOI is important because of its use in numerous calculations surrounding property performance. Because it’s used to estimate property value and cap rate, as well as useful to lenders, NOI has become an essential component of real estate investment analysis. As a real estate investor, therefore, you should understand net operating income, and recognize what it means to your potential investment valuation.

But be careful.

Remember, NOI is not unlike other calculations typically used for real estate investing purposes. The result is only as good as the numbers are credible, and numbers can be manipulated. Sellers have sometimes been known to become very creative in order to make the relationship between the price and NOI to come out right.

So here’s a tip. Whether or not a property appears to have a favorable NOI with positive rates of return, don’t just accept the numbers. Spend the time to validate the numbers. Reconstruct the owner’s representations for income and operating expenses if necessary, and compute your own NOI. Whatever you do, rely on nothing less then the most credible net operating income possible. You can’t afford not to.

Which Is The Best Operating System For Web Hosting

June 7th, 2007

This is perhaps one of the most difficult questions to be answered with a plain simple answer. Before we decide on the most compatible operating system for web hosting we need to delve a little further to know what an operating system is and why is it being given so much importance.


What is an Operating System?


The applications that you can use on your computer, the internet chatting and browsing dealings are all possible due to the help of the operating system. Operating systems are the backbone of computers that help you in completing your task with ease.


Most of the computers use the Windows operating system such as ME, XP, NT and several others. These programs are operating systems. This operating system is also vital for the functioning of the host server. Now let us determine the types of operating systems and their viability


Windows Operating System


Windows is a product of Microsoft designed for the running of the web server. The beauty of Windows is that it has a unique integration of various Microsoft products It also facilitates your website to run Active Server Pages and also allows you to integrate SQL databases.


The only disadvantage with the Windows operating system is that it is very expensive. Also if you do not have enough experience maintaining Windows from a remote location the procedure can be a very tedious and time-consuming one.


Linux Operating System


Linux is a second version created by some individuals who were the pioneers for designing Linux operating systems main portion. The introduction of some of the parts led to customization of the operating system meant for special uses.


One of the advantages of Linux operating system is PHP and the biggest advantage is that Linux is freely available. This is also a very stable and secure system. There are many companies that are involved in Linux marketing such as Red Hat and Debian.


Unix Operating System


This is the third version of the operating system which is somewhat similar to Linux. Unix has 2 operating systems. One is OpenBSD and the other is FreeBSD. The advantageous point to be noted is that once you install the Unix operating system they are very robust and will give you no trouble.


But the trouble lies in the installing part. These systems are very difficult to install. OpenBSD is the preferred one among the operating systems. Both these systems are freely available.


Which to choose?


We come back to the basic question of which one is ideal. Depending on your requirement you should choose your operating system. For example, if security is your priority then you should opt for OpenBSD.


If you are looking for compatible various Windows products then you should opt for Windows. If your main concern is PHP compatibility then you should choose Linux. You need to choose the best operating system that would help you achieve your goal.

How Net Operating Income is Used in Real Estate Analysis

June 5th, 2007

In this article, we want to discuss the role of net operating income to real estate analysis. How it’s calculated and then how real estate analysts use net operating income to determine the profitability of investment real estate.

Net operating income (or NOI) is one of the most important calculations made during the analysis of any real estate investment because it represents the property’s potential income after all vacancy and operating expenses have been subtracted. In other words, net operating income virtually represents the income property’s productivity, or measure of cash flow.

To help plant the idea, let’s consider net operating income in one of the following two ways, depending on whether or not a mortgage exists.

1. The investor pays all cash for the property. Since the property is wholly owned and has no debt, in this case, NOI is the annual return the investor would expect from the property before consideration for taxes and depreciation. Given no deduction for debt service (loan payment), you can regard net operating income in this case as the annual cash flow before taxes (or CFBT).

2. The investor obtains a mortgage. Here, since the property has a mortgage, NOI should be regarded as the anticipated amount of cash flow available to pay the mortgage. In this case, only the remainder of NOI (after you subtract the annual loan payment) becomes the annual cash flow (or CFBT).

Okay, let’s summarize. If you pay all-cash for a rental property, because there are no mortgage payments, NOI by default represents the property’s cash flow. On the other hand, when there are mortgage payments, NOI represents the amount of money available to service the debt, and then, subsequently the cash flow only after the loan payments.

How to Calculate Net Operating Income

Gross Operating Income less Operating Expenses = Net Operating Income

For example, let’s assume you’re doing a real estate analysis on an apartment building that produces a gross operating income of $100,000 and operating expenses of $42,000. What is the NOI?

This should be easy. $100,000 less $42,000 equals $58,000.

Okay, but let’s make sure that you understand both components in the formula.

1) Gross Operating Income (GOI) – This equals the rental property’s annual gross scheduled income less vacancy and credit loss. In other words, GOI is the actual income the rental property is expected to produce.

2) Operating Expense – An operating expense ensures the property’s continued ability to produce income. Whereas such things as property taxes, utilities, and maintenance and repairs are operating expenses, mortgage payments, depreciation, and capital expenditures are not considered operating expenses.

The Role of Net Operating Income

Net operating income plays a large role in a variety of real estate investment and holding period decisions. Capitalization rate, for instance, is calculated by dividing NOI by sale price, and property value is calculated by dividing NOI by capitalization rate.

Likewise, net operating income is significant to lenders. To compute debt coverage ratio (DCR), for instance, net operating income is divided by annual loan payment.

The Credibility of Net Operating Income

Not unlike any component in a real estate analysis, net operating income is only as good as the numbers used to compute it are credible.

Whether you use real estate investment software, a spreadsheet, or pencil and paper for your real estate analysis, you must spend the time to validate the numbers and reconstruct the owner’s representations for income and operating expenses if necessary.

Prudent real estate analysis demands it. Whenever you are running the numbers on any real estate investment, rely on nothing less then the most credible net operating income possible.
