How to dual boot Ubuntu and WinXP using two hard drives?

25 December 2007 11 Comments

I really want to use Ubuntu. When new version is out, I will request free CDs from Ubuntu Shipit and will receive the CDs after two weeks from the request date. But yesterday, after struggling to install new hard drive into my PC, then I was successfully install Ubuntu and make it dual boot with my Windows XP.

My Ubuntu specs

It is really difficult for me to set them to dual boot from two different hard drive. My old hard drive has Windows XP installed and the new hard drive which 320Gb size, installed with Ubuntu. I only allocate 20Gb for Ubuntu. The rest of the empty space is for files storage.

How to secure your WordPress blog?

My website was once hacked by a hacker from Saudi Arabia. He managed to get into the server and replaced the index.php file with his own index file. I don’t know how he can get into my server but I have learnt many things from that bad experience.

Always upgrade your WordPress to the latest version – It is really recommended to upgrade your WordPress to the latest version. It is because each new version contains bug fixes and patches to vulnerabilities that exist in the older version. So make sure that you upgrade your WordPress when the latest version is out.

Files and folders permission – In WordPress, we need to set permission to certain files or folders to make it works properly. Especially when using plugins that need special CHMOD 777 permission. When you doing this, make sure that you give permission to the correct files and folders only. We don’t want other peoples can upload and run script through our server, right?

.com or .net?

Ok, here is the deal. Which one you will choose for your domain name if you want to buy one? .com or .net?

Personally, I will choose .com if the domain will be used for a commercial or official-like website. For an example, like my relationship website, it focuses on compiling articles about love, love tips, love poems, love songs, love stories and so on. It is not a personal website. It is more for sharing resources with others.

For .net domain, like Blog Aku (or My Blog in English translation) is more about my personal life. It is not a formal website. So I can say and write whatever I want. For me, .net should be use for blogs or personal website.

Maybe some of you wondering why I am using .net for this website. CypherHackz.Com was available but I bought CypherHackz.Net because I want to use it for my personal website. A website that I want to write about my self. A writing about my journey in real life. I never thought that CypherHackz.Net which was started as a personal website becomes a technology website like what you see today.
