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>
