What's Wrong With Utux-Utux?

Finally PClinuxOS show it existence. Release it new version, PClinuxOS 2009.1 Gnome and KDE version.
Here's the news from distrowach.com.

The long-awaited PCLinuxOS 2009 has been released: "The Ripper Gang is pleased to announce the final public ISO image release of PCLinuxOS 2009.1. This release features Linux kernel 2.6.26.8, KDE 3.5.10, OpenOffice.org 3.0, Firefox 3.0.7, Thunderbird 2.0.0.14, KTorrent, Frostwire, Amarok, Flash, Java JRE, Compiz Fusion 3D and much more. We decided to use KDE 3.5.10 as our default desktop as we could not achieve a similar functionality from KDE 4. We will however offer KDE 4 as an alternative desktop environment available from the repository once we stabilize it." Here is the brief release announcement. Besides the main product, a GNOME edition of PCLinuxOS 2009 containing GNOME 2.24.3, Brasero, GNOME Power Manager, Exaile Music Player and other GTK+ applications, is also released. Download: pclinuxos-2009.1.iso (696MB, MD5), pclos-gnome2009.1.iso (694MB, MD5, torrent).

Now download the latest Nvidia driver from here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_71.86.06.html

Now log out and press "Ctrl+Alt+F1". You should be in command line mode, now here log in as root. Type "root" as your user name and then your root password and press enter. Now type "init 3" without the quotes! to kill the x. Locate the file you downloaded before. Than give these command:
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run

Follow the installer and let it compile the kernel module for you.

Once everything is done and you are back in command line mode then type these commands......REMEMBER you are still logged in as "root"
nvidia-xconfig
nvidia-xconfig --composite
nvidia-xconfig --render-accel
nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24M

Now you can restart the machine by pressing "Ctrl+Alt+Del".
Enjoy! If the next kernel update breaks your xorg then just recompile the nvidia driver.

Samba is the only protocol connecting Windows and Linux. And we already knew that Windows is lack of virus, worm, trojan, etc. Of course all of our writeable samba shares may get infected. So what should we do??
We can install antivirus scanner on Windows. But that's not the point because we still get infected from all of our network. So if one of them infected the samba file(s), it will spread all over network.
The cleverest thing we can do is scanning all over the files that will be write to samba. If you asking me how? Here's the answer. We can put antivirus to our samba module. So every file in samba will automatically scanned before. If the file get infected by virus, worm, etc, it will be reject and quarantine automatically. So our samba share won't be infected.
And the how to?? You can read and practice it by yourself here and here.
