Fast Car Knoppix

Small can be beautiful! Working with Knoppix for the past two years has been a joy. Two terms to describe this distribution, simple, elegance. See Knoppix is one of the many operating systems that runs from the CD, so it doesnรขโ�ฌโ�ขt have the hardware conflicts associated with many instruction sets between hardware and software.

When first installing it, I could see that it had potential. All of the install routines were smooth. Registers, ship sets, in sync recognition. When you test operating systems daily, you get a certain feel for what works. And then sometimes, the dreaded hiccup. Programs lost itรขโ�ฌโ�ขs way. With Knoppix, no such encounters. Up pops the screen, elegance! Fonts rendered perfectly and clear. Remember, Knoppix is a total operating system on one 700mb CD, not a DVD. Clicked the menu button, small application city.

Small fast editors, check. Bash, check. Mozilla? Sheรขโ�ฌโ�ขs thereรขโ�ฌยฆWhatรขโ�ฌโ�ขs the root file system looks like? Bin, boot, dev, lib, var. Thar she goes! Windows, click. So this is what all of the guys were talking about. Looks almost like the DOS files looked in MS 3.1. Thereรขโ�ฌโ�ขs an .ini, .sysรขโ�ฌยฆClicked on several other files and one file looked like ancient hieroglyphics. Leave that one for later study. All on one cd, and smooth. Enter into the foray of Linux. A vast surreal place of computer wizardry and magic. A place much unlike any other man has dreamed of. Why yarns an ago great mathematician spoke of such a coming together of the minds and forming a greater operating system. They talked of imaginings and terms of Euclidianรขโ�ฌยฆreality click! What was I talking about again?

Architectural Rendering

Architectural rendering basically means preparing and presenting a proposed design of a building for the approval of the person who wants to construct it. It may be a commercial or a residential unit. Formerly, the architects and designers would just draw bare outline sketches of the various parts of the building giving their dimensions and how each room/unit of the building was to be juxtaposed with the other. It was almost impossible for you to correlate the built up unit with what you had actually dreamed of.

With the advent of computer aided design (CAD) and the related multimedia based architectural technologies, the process of presenting how the prospective building will actually appear after it is built, has undergone a sea change. Now as the owner of a building, you can virtually see and feel your dream-house at the stage of its conceptualization and planning long before it comes up. You can select a view from a wide spectrum of various designs of the building and colors of paints. You can also suggest changes as per your preferences.

In the past, it was almost impossible to communicate the subtleties of the designs and the shades of colors to the architect as you wanted them. Now, with the advancement of the presentation technologies, especially architectural rendering, it has now become possible to give expression to those subtleties which you always wanted in your dream project. The various permutations and combinations of architectural rendering techniques on the computer screen, a CD or even in print can give a very realistic shape to what you require in a building. Once you see the actual picture, you can get a clear-cut idea if the output is actually what you require or some changes would make it perfect.

Sometimes you just have to give information in electronic design format about your project along with your proposed budget, and you can get various best possible designs to choose from within just a period of one week or so. Computer based architectural rendering technologies have revolutionized the initial stage conceptualization, planning and designing of the project and eliminated the time consuming manual processes of making drawings which failed to come even remotely close to your aspirations of how you would like your dream building to appear.
