Mandrake linux

Mandrakelinux is a GNU/Linux distribution supported by Mandrakesoft S.A. which was born on the Internet in
1998. Its main goal was and still is to provide an easy-to-use and friendly GNU/Linux system. Mandrakesoft’s
two pillars are open source and collaborative work.

Before Installation
This chapter covers issues which should be addressed before you start your new Mandrakelinux installation.
Make sure you read it completely since it will save you a lot of time. Also back up your data (on a different
disk to the one you will install the system into) and plug in and turn on all your external devices (keyboard,
mouse, printer, scanner, etc.).

Configuring your BIOS
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is used to find the device on which the operating system is located and
starts it up. It’s also used for the initial hardware configuration and hardware low-level access.
The appearance of plug’n’play devices and their widespread use means that all modern BIOSes can initialize
these devices. In order for Linux to recognize plug’n’play devices, your BIOS must be configured to initialize
them.
Changing your BIOS’ settings is usually performed by holding down the Del key (some BIOSes use the F1,
F2, F10 or Esc keys instead) right after the computer is switched on. Unfortunately, there are many types of
BIOSes. Therefore you will have to look for the appropriate option yourself. It’s often called PNP OS installed
(or Plug’n’Play OS installed). Set this option to No and the BIOS will then initialize any plug’n’play devices,
which helps Linux to recognize them.
All recent systems can boot from a CD-ROM. Look for Boot sequence or First boot device in the BIOS’ features
setup, and set the CD-ROM as the first one. If your system can’t boot from a CD-ROM you will need to use a
floppy boot disk

PHP Starter Guide

To gain a full understanding of what PHP can do for your website, please visit the Official PHP site for all related topics.

What is PHP?
PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language. If you are completely new to PHP and want to get some idea of how it works, have a look at the introductory tutorial. Once you get beyond that, have a look at the example archive sites and some of the other resources available in the links section.

Introductory Tutorial - http://www.php.net/tut.php
PHP is a tool that lets you create dynamic web pages. PHP-enabled web pages are treated just like regular HTML pages and you can create and edit them the same way you normally create regular HTML pages.

What do I need?
Just create your files, name them .php extension and put them in your web directory and the server will magically parse them for you. There is no need to compile anything nor do you need to install any extra tools. Think of these PHP-enabled files as simple HTML files with a whole new family of magical tags that let you do all sorts of things.

Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide

This document irst began as an efort to help teams within Google, but we thought it'd be just as useful to webmasters that are new to the topic of search engine optimization and wish to improve their sites' interaction with both users and search engines. Although this guide won't tell you any secrets that'll tomatically rank your site first for queries in Google (sorry!), following the best practices outlined below will make it easier for search engines to crawl, index and understand your content.

Search engine optimization is often about making small modiications to parts of your website. When viewed individually, these changes might seem like incremental improvements, but when combined with other optimizations, they could have a noticeable impact on your site's user experience and performance in organic search results.

You're likely already familiar with many of the topics in this guide, because they're essential ingredients for any web page, but you may not be making the most out of them.

Even though this guide's title contains the words "search engine", we'd like to say that you should base your optimization decisions irst and foremost on what's best for the visitors of your site. They're the main consumers of your content and are using search engines to ind your work. Focusing too hard on speciic tweaks to gain ranking in the organic results of search engines may not deliver the desired results.

Search engine optimization is about putting your site's best foot forward when it comes to visibility in search engines, but your ultimate consumers are your users, not search engines.

Your site may be smaller or larger than our example site and offer vastly diferent content, but the optimization topics we discuss below should apply to sites of all sizes and types. We hope our guide gives you some fresh ideas on how to improve your website, and we'd love to hear your questions, feedback, and success stories in the Google Webmaster Help Forum.
