Introduction
This blog entry is about technical issue regarding data manipulation in mysql, with tool like phpmyadmin. Data stored in Mysql is retrived/input with PHP pages. If you can’t understand the topic at all, please don’t continue.

Problem
I’ve been dealing with web projects for years. Mostly with PAM(php + apache + mysql) environment. When it comes to something that requires user’s interactions( comment, forum, etc), I always use UTF-8 as the default charset in web pages. This ensures that different characters(simplified chinese, traditional chinese, japanese etc)can be displayed on same page nicely without users have to change the character encoding in the browser.

Hehe, being a music lover, I must share this to you all.

Okay here’s how file sharing done on my debian box.(Cheers, if you are surrounded by Windows machines, just like me).

My LAN setup - One ADSL router modem connected to a 8-ports switch, and every single machine connects to the switch. Ideal for LAN games, files/printers sharing, and Internet connection sharing.

Comparing to Windows, Linux offers more details for users to tweak around, for better security and performance. Which, all these are not in my concern. I just want to share files to my friends, and copy some goodies from them too!

Yes, this is my first blog entry for debian. Debian is a distribution of GNU Linux. Its official website is at http://www.debian.org/. Feel free to find out more about it.

This entry is a full list of softwares that I use on Debian, to perform my daily activities.

1. Desktop Environment.
KDE is my first choice. Handy file types support, easy to use configuration, wonderful support. The best desktop environment on linux in my opinion.

2. Package Manager.
Softwares in Linux, are often distributed in package. For easier download, installation and maintenance. Each distribution of Linux has its own naming of these packages. In Debian, these softwares come in .deb files. A package manager is a software that manages the downloads, installations, updates and upgrades for these software packages. My favorite package manager would be Synaptic, a GUI package manager.
