<p dir="ltr">Personally, the reason I was look for such a service was I am not to comfortable with my data being stored on servers that at governed by foreign laws. I'd prefer to have my data within Australia. OwnCloud seems to be one of the better ones.</p>

Hi Perth Linux Guru's,<br>
Apologies if I am using the wrong forum for this but I have only just<br>
discovered your site ;)<br>
I have recently bought a Win 8 notebook PC and want to install Linux on it<br>
so that i can have the choice of using Windows or Linux as the OS. I<br>
understabd that this is not very straight forward as Win has a security set<br>
- up which needs to be turned off and my research on the net has not been<br>
conclusive. I have not used linux yet but would like to. Can you pse<br>
advise on this subject?<br>

Hey<br>

Has any one used Owncloud.org?<br>
Any thoughts<br>
Or other recommendations of similar<br>

It's supposed to be more open cloud services<br>

Hey Fred,<br>
<br>
You can download one of the popular Linux Distro's, boot of the cd/dvd and<br>
just follow the install procedure.<br>
Most modern linux install processes will deal with the windows partition,<br>
and allow you to dual boot. (and set that up for you)<br>
<br>
Not had any experience with Win 8 yet (don't think I will), thus I cannot<br>
say 100% if dual boot setup works with it out-the-box like that, or if you<br>
need to do 'stuff' to make it work.<br>
<br>
As a first time linux user, I would highly recommend Linux Mint as your<br>
first step. From experience I had found that windows users find it easy to<br>
adapt to that distro.<br>

Hey Paul,<br>
<br>
I've setup a cheap VPS from linode running ownCloud and used the<br>
desktop client to sync files. I feel like it's 90% there but just<br>
needs a bit more polish before it becomes good enough that I'd move<br>
all my stuff from Google Drive/Contacts/Calendar/Mail (There is a<br>
Roundcube plugin for mail)/Bookmarks. I've found it to be a little<br>
slow but that could be because I'm hosting it on the cheapest linode<br>
server I could find it's got 512mb RAM and hosted in Singapore. Might<br>
be a lot quicker hosted on a beefier machine at home.<br>
<br>
I've got it running at <a href="https://hybr.id.au" target="_blank">https://hybr.id.au</a> if you want to try it out I<br>
can set up an account for you. (I use a certificate from <a href="http://cacert.org" target="_blank">cacert.org</a> so<br>
if you get a certificate warning don't worry.)<br>
<br>
I'd also be very interested to hear about any open source self hosted<br>
cloud solutions especially if anyone knows of a self hosted office<br>
suite like Google Docs.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Michael<br>

Depending on the tablet the secure boot stuff could be either a pain, or will<br>
prevent you using Linux (or anything much else) on that device completely. I<br>
can't confirm this myself, I have no such device, but when Win 8 was released<br>
this was the situation ...<br>
<br>
If you bought one of the smaller ARM based ones then I believe it is permanently<br>
hardware locked to prevent anything except updates approved and signed by<br>
Microsoft for your (sic) particular device and the binaries that the (signed by<br>
Microsoft and unmodified or else it will not be boot-able) Win 8 OS permits you<br>
to run because they are signed by Microsoft and unmodified (i.e. you paid for<br>
them via the official app store or whatever it is called in Microsoft land). In<br>
which case the "Welcome to Linux" may unfortunately be a little premature, and<br>
if you do insist on booting Linux then eBay will be your friend.<br>
<br>
If you bought an intel based tablet it is apparently possible to turn off the<br>
hardware lock, or at least switch the signing authority or something ... an open<br>
source organisation has paid (on your behalf, aren't you lucky) the secure boot<br>
makers for appropriate codes etc to sign Linux boot systems, and boot disks are<br>
I believe able to use this to boot into Linux. One laptop manufacturer and their<br>
customers still got badly stung by this, since there was a bug in the secure<br>
boot system which completely bricked the laptop if you used this system ... it<br>
required a return to the manufacturer before it would do anything at all. The<br>
permanent locking to Microsoft exclusively is required by Microsoft before they<br>
will certify an ARM device for Windows 8, the removable lock is required for<br>
certification for an intel device. Google will be your friend in this case, and<br>
the solution less drastic than sell it and buy something better. I haven't<br>
tried, I haven't bought (if you can call it that ... not sure who actually<br>
'owns' it given the above) a Microsoft tablet.<br>

Hi Michael,<br>
<br>
What version of ownCloud are you running?<br>
<br>
I've been watching this over the past few years, and slowly as it matures, v5.0 looked it had reached a reasonable maturity level.<br>
<br>
Would love to hear more of ppls opinions about it.<br>
<br>

Hi Paul,<br>
<br>
I jus installed the latest version on the weekend. Without having<br>
spent to much time on it, I have picked up a few things which are more<br>
of an annoyance then an issue. One of the, being that only allows for<br>
vCard formats for importing contacts. Wile there are ways to get most<br>
contacts to a vCard, having an option to import from other format<br>
types out be better. The other one is the android app is only for file<br>
sharing (from what I can tell). If you want to sync your contacts onto<br>
your phone, you need to download another app on your android that<br>
syncs vCards. Other then those things the layout of the website is<br>
really nice, it was really easy to setup and the chrome bookmarks<br>
extension work much better then delicious.<br>
<br>
I haven't been fully converted yet so at this stage I am still using<br>
Dropbox and gmail for my contacts.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Tim<br>
