Computer

I enjoy using the computer like everbody now. I have taken a number of computer courses from Wake Tech, where I learned to use Linux, and program C/C++. I am a Comptia A+ certified professional, and a PHP 5 Zend certified engineer. I am running Microsoft XP, Debian Linux, and Ubuntu Linux on my computers. I have recently stared using Ubuntu as my main desktop OS. It is very easy to install, and appears to be one of, if not the most popular Linux to use on the desktop. I made some notes on post-installation for my computer. Linux is a UNIX operating system clone that is composed of the Linux kernel, together with the GNU set of operating system utilities. I program with PHP using the PostgreSQL database. My homepage is hosted on a Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.20GHz with 500 MB of RAM running an Apache web server. My website domain, jimserver.net, is supposed to be read as "Jim's web server." I registered my domain with Go Daddy.com, and my DNS servers are hosted by zoneedit.

I have used the open source mapping program Mapserver to create a map of North and South Carolina. It is scanned from the Mouzon 1775 map I bought from NC Archives. I scanned it into my computer using my HP Scanjet 4370 in 8 parts, and used GRASS to reassemble it into one map. The Mapserver program allows you to pan around and zoom in to read relevant information from the map.
