Descarga de mapas gratuitos

Opcion 1: OpenStreetMap

Desde OpenStreetMap puedes descargarte el mapa que quieras, totalmente gratuito

http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/

Para descargar un mapa de OpenStreetMap sigue estos pasos:

1. En: Choose your map type, selecciona el tipo de mapa que quieras, por defecto esta seleccionado: Generic Routable
2. En: Include a TYP file (Optional), dejalo en: None
3. En: Choose a preferred country, selecciona el contienete y luego el pais
4. En: Perhaps you'd like to add additiona tiles? dejalo como esta
5. En: Request your map or download it directly, te aparecera, el link de descarga o un cuadro de texto solicitando un correo electronico donde te llegara el link de descarga

Seleccionar continente y pais

Como puedes ver en la imagen, aparece abajo el link de descarga(en este caso), ya que quizas te pida un correo electronico, donde enviaran el link de descarga, el link de descarga que te envian al correo tiene un duracion, si no me quivoco de 24 horas, pasadas las 24 horas el link desaparecera

En el link te aparecera algo como esto:

Descargas

• En la carpeta: metadata, hay informacion acerca del mapa
• osm_generic_windows.exe, es el archivo de instalacion del mapa para Windows
• osm_generic_tiles.zip, es para Linux
• osm_generic_macosx.zip, es para Mac OSX
• osm_generic_gmapsupp.zip, dentro de este archivo .zip esta el mapa comprimido en un archivo .img, este es otro metodo de instalacion del mapa, directamente puedes colocar este archivo .img dentro de la tarjeta de memoria SD o GPS

Opcion 2: OpenMapChest

OpenMapChest es otra pagina donde te puedes decargar mapas gratuitos, pero en este caso, hasta el dia de hoy creado este post, te descargas el mapa pero por continentes, por ejemplo, si quieres descargar el mapa de Argentina, te descargaras el mapa de Sur America completo

Para descargar mapas hay dos opciones

• Descargar el mapa usando un cliente BitTorrent, recomiendo qBittorrent  
• Descargar el mapa con un link directo, pero debes registrarte en la pagina

Instalar el mapa

OpenStreetMap

Ejecuta el archivo: osm_generic_windows.exe y sigue las instrucciones

OpenMapChest

Tambien tiene dos opciones de descarga

1. Mapa para guardar en la memoria SD
2. Mapa para instalar con MapSource de Garmin, MapSource esta obsoleto, no recibe actualizaciones de 2010, aunque eso no importa mucho, lo importante es instalar el mapa actualizado, en todo caso es mejor la opcion de descarga del mapa para la memoria SD

Instalar el Basecamp

ATENCION!!
Este paso es solo para mapas de OpenStreetMap

Instalar el Basecamp tambien es sencillo, solo sigue las intrucciones del instalador y listo

Instalar el mapa en el GPS Garmin con Basecamp

ATENCION!!
Este paso es solo para mapas de OpenStreetMap

Teniendo instalado el Basecamp y el mapa, procedemos a instalarlo en el GPS o memoria SD, usando el Basecamp

• Conectar el GPS al PC usando el cable cinco pines IMAGEN o introduce una memoria SD
• Ejecutar el Basecamp

Basecamp

• En el panel izquierdo, puedes ver que aparece un dispositivo Garmin (Z:), en realidad es una tarjeta SD de 4GB, cuando conectas el GPS, te aperecera en el panel izquierdo, la memoria interna del GPS (y si tiene tambien una memoria SD dentro del GPS, tambien aparecera), y este procedimiento es el mismo tanto para una memoria SD o GPS
• En el panel izquierdo, selecciona donde quieres instalar el mapa, ya sea, en la memoria SD o en el GPS
• Click derecho y selecciona: Instalar mapas en [NOMBRE MEMORIA] (LETRA)

Instalar mapas en la memoria SD o GPS

•  Mostrara esta ventana

MapInstall

• Click en: Continuar

Seleccionar mapa

• Selecciona el mapa que quieras instalar de la lista que esta abajo, tambien puedes seleccionar ciudades, haciendo click en el boton: Buscar una ciudad...
• Para instalar el mapa, debes seleccionarlo primero, dos imagenes de ejemplo: (leer imagenes)

Ejemplo para seleccionar el mapa

 

Seleccionando mapa

• Al soltar el boton del mouse, quedara asi:

Mapa seleccionado

• Opcionalmente si deseas instalar mas de un mapa, escoje el siguiente mapa de la lista de abajo, selecciona todo el mapa y asi sucesivamente con todos los mapas que quieras instalar, eso si, recuerda tener espacio en la memoria donde lo va a instalar
• Click en: Continuar
• Te aparecera la siguiente ventana, donde te mostrara, que mapa o mapas se van a instalar

Instalar mapa

• Click en: Instalar
• Y espera a que se instale o instalen los mapas, mientras mas pesado el mapa mas se tardara

Finalizar instalacion del mapa o mapas

• Click en: Finalizar
• Listo!!

Instalar mapas directamente en el GPS o memoria SD

En vez de descargarte el instalador ejecutable del mapa, te descargas el archivo de imagen con la extension .img, la diferencia entre esta opcion y la del Basecamp es que el Basecamp compila los mapas seleccionados y los guarda en un archivo unico .img
Una desventaja que tiene el GPS es que para copiar mapas grandes de mas de 1GB en la memoria interna del GPS o en una memoria SD que este insertada en el GPS, puede llevar mucho tiempo, para darte un ejemplo, el copiado al GPS(ya sea a la memoria interna o SD insertada en el GPS) puede tener una tasa de velocidad de 400KB/s, si copias un archivo de 1GB puede tardar mas de 40 minutos en copiarse

La solucion a esto es un lector de memoria SD

Lector de memoria USB

O si tienes una laptop con lector integrado tambien puede servir

Si copias los archivos de mapas .img directamente a la memoria SD usando un lector, la copia sera muchisimo mas rapida, la tasa, dependiendo de la marca, capacidad, etc... seria de entre 5MB/s a 10MB/s, una diferencia muy grande, mas de diez veces en comparacion a la copia directa al GPS

Copiar archivos .img

Para instalar directamente un archvo .img a una memoria SD es muy sencillo, sigue estos pasos

• Inserta memoria SD en tu PC o laptop
• Dirigete a la memoria SD
• Crea una carpeta llamada: Garmin
• Dentro de esa carpeta puedes copiar los archivos .img ***
• Inserta la memoria SD en el GPS
• GPS viejo te diriges a: Herramienta -> Configuraciones -> Mapa -> Info de mapa o Acerca del mapa
• GPS nuevo te diriges a: Configuracion -> Mapa y vehiculo -> Baja hasta donde dice: misMapas
• Alli deberias de ver el/los mapas instalados
• Listo!!

*** IMPORTANTE



En algunos GPS permiten tener varios archivos .img, ya sea en la memoria interna del GPS o en la memoria SD, tendrias que actualizar el firmware del GPS ya que en algunos casos resuelven problemas como estos de no tener varios archivos .img, con WebUpdater puedes actualizar el firmware del GPS

Si por alguna razon no te detecta varios mapas .img, puedes copiar los archivos con estos nombres, a ver si los detecta

• gmapprom.img (este nombre nomalmente es del mapa que viene por defecto en el GPS)
• gmapsupp.img (y este y los otros nombres son suplementarios)
• gmapsupp1.img
• gmapsup1.img
• gmapsupp2.img
• gmapsup2.img

Luego de cambiar el nombre, inserta la memoria SD y mirate si los detecta, estoy seguro que si, sino, recuerda actualizar el firmware del GPS, averigua en internet las limitaciones del GPS o el mismo firmware

Por ultimo te puedo decir que se puede compilar varios archivos .img en un sol oarchivo .img, usando el programa GMapTool, programa gratuito y facil de usar y RECUERDA que los GPS y las memorias SD usan el sistema de archivo FAT32 que tiene una limitacion de 4GB por archivo, asi que no puedes crear un archivo .img de 4GB porque no te dejara copiarlo

Linux backup-Five Linux backup tools that won't let you down

Linux backup tools that won't let you down

              Linux backup

 

With Linux, you will find quite a lot of backup tools, ranging from the overly simple to the overly complex. There are command-line tools, GUI tools, server-based tools, and combinations. Some of these backups are so incredibly difficult, their usefulness comes into question. So where do you find that happy medium? That, of course, depends upon your purpose and your budget.
I want to suggest what I believe are the five best Linux backup tools, which cover everything from the simple desktop to the complicated server backups. These are all free, except for one enterprise tool that requires support.

1: LuckyBackup

LuckyBackup is my go-to backup tool for the Linux desktop. It's easy to use and flexible, reliable, and it's one of the few desktop GUI entries that make it easy to set up scheduling. But don't let its ease of use fool you. LuckyBackup is powerful. Lucky can handle full backups, snapshots, sync backups, inclusion/exclusion, local or remote backups, restore, simulation, and much more. If you're looking for the ideal Linux desktop backup, LuckyBackup just might be your lucky charm.

2: DejaDup

DejaDup is another easy-to-use Linux desktop backup tool. Some users might find it overly simplified, with its single window consisting of two large buttons labeled Restore and Back Up. But there is a decent feature list behind those two buttons. DejaDup offers support for local and remote backups (even Amazon S3, RackSpace Cloud Files, and Ubuntu One), encryption, compression, incremental backups, backup schedules, and full GNOME integration. In other words, that simple interface is ideally suited for users who want a tool that can reliably back up their data without a lot of complexity.

3: Tar/rsync

These two commands are the bread and butter of most backup systems. But just because they are used by so many GUI tools, that doesn't mean you can't use them from the command line. With these two tools, and a bit of bash scripting, you can create some powerful backup solutions. Add cron to the mix, and those powerful, user-generated tools can be scheduled as flexibly as any backup tool. These tools are often the only option when dealing with a GUI-less server.

4: DD

The dd command is an ideal command-line tool for making bit-for-bit copies of a hard drive. This tool can copy a single file or an entire drive. When you need to clone a drive, and the command line is all you have available, dd is what you will need. Like the tar/rsync one-two punch, dd and rsync can do the same thing, only with an entire drive. Use this tool to create regular images of your drive in case something catastrophic happens and you need to restore a cloned copy of a drive.

5: Acronis for Linux

That's right, one of the Mac Daddies of backup has an option for the Linux server. Acronis Backup and Recover (ABR) 11 for Linux has arrived and it's pure power. A full-featured, GUI enterprise backup solution is available for those needing a seriously powerful backup solution with the inclusion of support. Granted, the cost for ABR 11 ($853 per license) will stab at your budget. But for those who rely on a company behind products, ABR 11 is the right tool for the job.

The Best Linux Server Backup

You should look into Linux Server Backup to protect yourself from unforeseen data loss. Your data is the most important thing that you have in today's competitive world. Losing it would be disastrous for your business, as it would alienate your customers. Although data reliability has gone up in the last few years, natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes can threaten your information at any time during the year.

There are also risk factors which are not physical in nature. Your data can be affected by rogue software such as virus, worms and Trojans. It is also susceptible to hacking and other attempts at data manipulation by hackers. A good firewall definitely helps, but having backup solution will make sure that you have the latest records for security.

Linux offers a number of features that makes it the best solution for Linux server backup. The operating system has been built to be very stable and robust, allowing hosted websites to have very high up times. This flexibility allows advanced features to be available at free of cost. Major operating systems like Ubuntu, Red Hat and CentOS have web-based backup options available that let you carry out remote backups whenever you please.

The best thing about Linux is that it offers network encryption. As a matter of fact, this makes it very hard for hackers to break into your data. Most Linux distributions offer 256-bit network encryption and 256-bit AES storage encryption, along with unique security certificates, making your data secure from interception and attacks. These features also stop your data from leaking, ensuring peace of mind for you and your customers.

Another great thing about this backup solution is that it is highly scalable. It can adapt to any environment - from small-scale data to large-scale environments with petabytes of information. Your Linux server backup will be able to meet anything you can throw at it; it will process all data without a hitch.
These are some of the features that you should really look for in Linux backup solution. The operating system's kernel has been built from the ground up to be highly robust and scalable, handling anything you can give it. It is used actively around the world in a number of small and large-scale environments without any problems. It is also highly secure and will protect your Linux server backup from hackers and remote attacks, among other things.

how to install linux mint in vmware

 So, you've heard about this Linux thing and want to know what it's all about. While a die hard Windows user myself, there's some really good reasons to understand and use Linux.

I won't call Linux virus proof, because there's no such thing (with the exception of a mechanical cash register, that just barely qualifies as a computer), but you are far less likely to encounter Linux viruses than those for Windows or Mac OS.

Linux has the very distinct advantage of being largely free and open source, so updates are frequent and cost nothing. There's a world of excellent software available for the platform and tools to run Windows applications with some love and some work.

I'll be demonstrating the installation process for Linux Mint through a virtual machine using the very excellent and free VMWare Player.

1) Download and install VMWare Player.

First, you'll want to visit VMWare.com and visit the Products section,
under Free Products for VMWare player.

Download VMWare Player for Windows and run the installer when it finishes downloading. The program is straight forward on its install and the defaults should all be perfectly OK.

2) Download Linux Mint

 

 

Linux Mint can be found at linuxmint.com. Visit the Download page to find the different versions.
For our purposes, we'll be working with the Cinnamon 32-bit version of Mint.
Choose a mirror appropriate for your region of the world.
The file will download as a.iso file. This is a disk image file, sort of like a direct copy of a DVD. The file extension is named for the ISO, the International Organization of Standards. Save this file to an easy to remember location on your computer.

 3) Configure Your Linux Mint Virtual Machine

Open your newly installed VMWare Player and choose Create a New Virtual Machine.

Choose your ISO from which to install Linux Mint. If you get a warning about VMWare not being able to detect which operating system you are installing, you can simply ignore it. We'll be specifying the OS. Click Next.

Select Linux as the Guest Operating System, and leave (or select if needed) Ubuntu as the Version. Click Next.

Give your virtual machine a name. Choose a location to save your virtual machine. Click Next.
Configure your storage settings. Since this is a test machine, and we don't need to use a lot of space, 8 GB should be sufficient to play around and install some applications. I prefer to store the virtual disk as a single larger file, since I generally won't be moving it. Click Next.
Verify your settings and click Finish. Your basic settings are now complete.

4) Install Linux Mint

*ADVANCE WARNING: If at any time while installing Linux Mint, you can't find your mouse cursor or it gets "stuck" press the Control and Alt buttons together. This is a function of the VMWare Player.*
Select Play Virtual Machine using either of the green Play Buttons.

If you get a popup to install VMWare Tools, choose Remind Me Later.

Let the auto load cycle complete. After some message appear, Linux Mint will boot directly to the desktop. Mint is designed to run as a Live Operating System, which means it can run directly from the disk or disk image (.iso).

From here you can explore and use Linux Mint, but it won't be particularly fast compared to a full installation. Double click the Install Linux Mint icon on the virtual desktop.

The installer window will launch and as your to specify your language. I'll be running under the assumption of English. Click Continue.

Assuming your PC is online, and you set up your virtual hard disk to be 8.0 GB, you should have two check boxes on the next screen. Click Continue.

Select the Erase Disk and install Linux Mint option, and leave all other options unchecked. You are working inside of a virtual hard disk, and it's completely isolated from the rest of your computer, so you won't erase anything on your PC. Click Install Now.

The operating system will generally auto-detect your region. If not, type in your city to have it set your time zone. Click Continue.

Define your keyboard layout. Click continue.

Set up your name, your computer (VM's) name, your username, and your password. I've set my machine to log in automatically and set a password of "password1" since this machine is only for playing around and not for any of my personal information or online transactions. I've also set it to log me in automatically so I don't have to type in my password every time. Click continue after you have set up your user identification.

You'll notice arrow buttons on the side of the Mint installer screen as it wraps up the install. You can click through these to take a mini-tour of the Mint operating system. Let the installer complete its tasks. Grab a soda or something if you finish with the tour. You can click out of the virtual machine to play some solitaire on your host PC while you wait.

When Mint is done installing, it will prompt you to continue testing (work with the live desktop) or restart and launch in to the normal install of Mint. Click Restart Now.

Mint will ask you to remote the installation media, close the tray, then press the enter key. Since we aren't working off a DVD, we'll need to dismount the image. Press Ctrl and Alt together on your keyboard to unlock your mouse.

Click the Player button in the upper left of the VMWare Player window, select Removable Devices, select CD/DVD, and click on Settings.

Un-check the Connect as power on button for the CD/DVD drive. Click the OK button. Click back on to the black Mint Logo screen and press the enter key on your keyboard. Mint will now reboot.
Mint will reboot and automatically log you in to your desktop, where you'll be greeted by the Welcome to Linux Mint window. You can choose to have this show up at start up or not. Click the Close button on the window.

5) Using Linux Mint

For Windows users Mint is a very intuitive operating system. The Menu button in the bottom left functions like the Start button in Windows. Opening it will reveal a large menu of applications, sorted by type. Click through and see what you can find. Most of them are very self-explanatory.

Unlike Windows Linux is built on a package manager system instead of an executable system for installing new programs. Let's install Skype on Mint.

From the Menu, choose the Software Manager. When prompted, type in your password. The software manager application will launch.

Search for Skype using the search box in the upper right. Type in Skype and press the enter key.
Mint will find the package to install Skype. Double click on it to bring up the information window.
Click the install button. Skype will install itself and the screen will say "installed" once complete. Close the Software Manager.

Going to the Menu and selecting the Internet category will show Skype installed on the machine.
From here, explore Linux Mint, and get a feel for it. There's many usability resources on the Web, and this should get you started pretty well.

Install and Configure Apache Traffic Server on Ubuntu Server 12.04

Apache Traffic server is a reverse proxy, cache proxy and forward proxy. Web proxy caching enables you to store copies of frequently accessed web objects and then serve this information to users on demand. It improves performance and frees up Internet bandwidth for other tasks.

Installation

Installation of Apache Traffic Server is bit tricky on Ubuntu due to absence of standard apt-get easy installer package. Well but its not that difficult though. I am writing down step by step process for easy understandability.

Download latest tar.bz2 from apache website and put that on Ubuntu server any directory.

wget http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/trafficserver/trafficserver-4.0.1.tar.bz2

tar xf trafficserver-4.0.1.tar.bz2

cd trafficserver-4.0.1

 sudo apt-get install g++ libssl-dev tcl-dev libexpat1-dev libpcre3-dev libcap-dev libcap2

 ./configure

 $ make

 $ sudo make install

Server level configuration

 

After successful installation, open ld.so.conf (sudo vi /etc/ld.so.conf) and add following line.

include /usr/local/libexec/trafficserver

Run the following command: 

sudo ldconfig

Steps for Start and stop

To start Traffic Server manually, issue the following command, passing in the attribute start. This command starts all the processes that work together to process Traffic Server requests as well as manage, control, and monitor the health of the Traffic Server system.

sudo service trafficserver start/stop

All the configuration parameter related to cache are located in /usr/local/etc/trafficserver/records.config file after making any configuration changes do run command traffic_line -x to apply the configuration changes.

Installation Directories

When we install traffic server, we had not provide the installation directories for config files and executable. These stuffs has been placed with default conventions.

All configurations files :

/usr/local/etc/trafficserver/

All executables :

/usr/local/libexec/trafficserver

Important Configuration Files & Usage

 

sudo vi /usr/local/etc/trafficserver/records.config

For changing default port as well as connection time out etc. related data.
Don't forget to execute following command in case of minor rule change:

sudo traffic_line -x

In case of severe change like port etc please make sure you had restarted the server:

sudo service trafficserver restart

For Configuring the mapping 

 

sudo vi /usr/local/etc/trafficserver/remap.config

In the above file, we can provide as many map, reverse map, redirect, reverse redirect configurations.

Apache Virtual Host Specific Configuration

 

Step 1:

sudo vi /usr/local/etc/trafficserver/records.config

In the file make following changes so config read like below

CONFIG proxy.config.reverse_proxy.enabled INT 1
CONFIG proxy.config.url_remap.pristine_host_hdr INT 1 (It make sure host name in http header doesn't change)
CONFIG proxy.configurl_remap.remap_required INT 1

Step 2:

sudo traffic_line -x

Step 3:

sudo vi /usr/local/etc/trafficserver/remap.config

Step 4:

sudo traffic_line -x

Above configuration is sufficient for setting the initial reverse proxy to listen on default port and serve the request based on domain name from provider (Apache)

Cache Configuration

CONFIG proxy.config.cache.ram_cache.size INT -1 (default value 1 MB per 1 GB Disk Space, alternatively you can set 20971520 (20 MB))

Monitoring Traffic & Log File

Log file location - var/log/trafficserver

dual-boot Windows 8 and Linux

How to dual-boot Windows 8 and Linux

get Windows 8 and Linux booting from the same machine without too much trouble. Ashton Mills explains.

You’ll need this

• To dual-boot Windows 8 and Linux, you’ll first need Win 8 (duh). Download it from windows.microsoft.com/en-AU.
• Get the Ubuntu Linux 12.10 OS from www.ubuntu.com.

To its credit, Windows 8 adds much more than just the Modern UI. There’s the underlying changes for memory efficiency, graphics performance (particularly elements like images, for which the Modern UI heavily relies on) and of course, the range of system-wide improvements like more informative copy dialogues and the ever-so-sexy Task Manager.
It also revamped, for the first time, both the dreaded BSOD screen and in many ways, its reluctant partner: the Windows boot manager. Under the bonnet the Windows boot manager works much the same as it did in Windows 7, with the added difference that’s it’s a heck of a lot nicer to look at. No longer are you presented with merely an ASCII-based white-on-black boot menu, much like GRUB for Linux; instead, there’s a soft blue background with large icons and fonts that mimic the Modern UI — and it’s mouse driven to boot (HA! See what I did there?). Such that, for some of us here at APC, we actually prefer the look of Windows 8’s boot manager than the traditional Linux one, even if slightly prettified in distributions like Ubuntu.
So, while you can easily set up a dual-boot system by installing Windows 8 first and then Linux, you’ll be left with GRUB to manage your boot. If you prefer the look of the Windows 8 menu, here’s how to dual-boot Windows 8 and Linux using the Windows 8 boot manager.

Step 1: Installation order

Installing Windows 8 and Linux on the same system doesn’t change — always do Windows first and then Linux second. However, the only difference now is to install GRUB to the root partition (or a /boot partition, if you set one up) instead of the MBR of the hard drive. For example, you might configure your installation to look something like the diagram below.
When you do this, you initially won’t be able to boot to Linux once the installation finishes. This is fine, as we’ll fix that in a moment.

You can configure your installation to look something like this. 

Step 2: Install EasyBCD

Reboot and once Windows 8 has loaded, drop to the desktop and head to neosmart.net/EasyBCD. Click on ‘Register’ at the bottom of the page and optionally fill in your details if you’d like to help support EasyBCD. This isn’t necessary, though, and you can click ‘Download!’ to download EasyBCD whether you register or not.
EasyBCD has been around for some time and provides flexible control over the Windows Boot Configuration Data (BCD). This includes the boot menu, for which Windows is actually quite a capable tool. It’ll happily boot a range of Windows operating systems and much like GRUB, it can be configured to chain-load non-Microsoft operating systems — with a little help, anyway. One of the features of EasyBCD is the integration of both a GRUB boot image and GRUB chain-loader, allowing you to boot Linux from the Windows boot menu.
EasyBCD has been updated with Windows 8 support, making it a snap to use the new Windows 8 boot menu to boot both Windows and Linux.

The contents of the BCD loader for dual-booting Windows 8 and Linux.

Step 3: Chain-load GRUB

Start EasyBCD and back up the current BCD configuration file by clicking ‘BCD Backup/Repair > Backup Settings’. Next, click ‘Add New Entry’ and under the ‘Linux/BSD’ tab, click on the ‘Type’ field and choose ‘GRUB2’ (if using Ubuntu). Under the ‘Name’ field, change it to whatever distribution you’re using and for ‘Drive:’, set it to ‘Automatically locate and load’.

Hit ‘Add Entry’ and you’re done! If you click on the ‘View Settings’ button, you should see a new entry for your distribution or ‘NeoSmart Linux’ if you didn’t change the name.

Adding a new entry to boot Linux.

If you’re using another version of Linux, check to make sure which version of GRUB it’s using. If the original GRUB is being used, you’ll need to select ‘GRUB’ instead and, since it can’t be automatically located and loaded, set the partition you installed GRUB to in the ‘Drive:’ field. Later, if for whatever reason this isn’t working, you can try ticking ‘Use EasyBCD’s copy of GRUB’.
Finally, if you forgot to change the name for the entry or want to change it later, click ‘Advanced Settings’ and under the ‘Basic’ tab rename the entry before clicking ‘Save Settings’.
Naturally, you can also use EasyBCD to alter other boot menu settings such as reordering the list, setting the default operating system and changing the timeout. All of these can be found under the ‘Edit Boot Menu’ section. Don’t forget if you run into any problems, you can also restore your original Windows 8 boot menu settings from the ‘BCD Backup/Repair’ option.
And that’s it! Enjoy your dual-boot Windows 8 and Linux system with a more modern and cleaner boot time interface.

Other tips: Cheating Windows 8’s cheat

Once you have more than one operating system installed alongside Windows 8, you may notice some interesting behaviour with the way Windows 8 boots. When you’re presented with the boot menu, this isn’t a first step before choosing what operating system loads. As part of its changes to decrease boot times, Windows 8 actually loads in the background and the boot menu is more a formality: if you click to boot Windows 8, you’ll instantly be presented with the login screen; if you choose to load another operating system, your machine will reboot before loading into the other OS.
It’s a bit of a hack on Microsoft’s part to create the illusion of speed and while it doesn’t bother us too much (having SSDs for boot drives helps), you can bypass this behaviour with a neat little tool also made by NeoSmart: iReboot.
EasyBCD has an option to install iReboot under ‘Useful Utilities’, but we found this didn’t work. Instead, head to neosmart.net/iReboot to download and install the latest version.
Once installed, a tray icon will appear to you let choose from your boot menu what operating system you’ll load at your next boot, making it possible to reboot once to Linux, instead of twice when rebooting from Windows 8. Neat!

Dual Boot Your Pre-Installed Windows 7 Computer with Ubuntu

You have a new computer that came with Windows 7 pre-installed on it, and you want to create a dual boot system so you can run Ubuntu Linux as well. Here we take you through the process to install Ubuntu on your pre-installed Windows 7 machine.
For this demonstration we’re using Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit) and Ubuntu 9.10 (32-bit)
Install Ubuntu
Here we will set up a basic dual boot system with the Ubuntu 9.10 disc that will create GRUB as your boot loader. On the Window 7 machine pop in the Ubuntu disc and boot from it.

If you experience a problem with the graphics with Ubuntu not displaying correctly, go back to the start screen, hit F4 and select Safe graphics mode.

Continue through the installation steps by selecting your language, time zone, and keyboard layout. When you get to the following screen (step 4 of 6), the easiest method for beginners is to select the first option– Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup. On the first bar you’ll see is the entire Windows 7 partition. Then on the second bar, you can slide it up or down to specify the amount of hard drive space you want for Ubuntu.

The green area represents the amount of space we’re leaving for Windows 7, and the brown is the space we’re allocating for Ubuntu.In this example we’re sliding it down to 10GB and leaving the rest for Windows.

Click continue to the verification dialog box.

In the next step create your user name, password, and configure log in options.

If everything looks good, go ahead and click Install. If you need to make any changes you can still go back and make them at this point.
 
The installation will start showing a progress bar and display new features in Ubuntu 9.10.

The amount of time it takes to install will vary from system to system, and once it’s complete, go ahead and restart the machine.

When the machine reboots you’ll see the GRUB loader where you can boot to Ubuntu or Windows 7.

One thing to point out in my experience with this method is when you first boot into Windows 7, Check Disk runs, then reboots and you need to choose the Windows 7 option again from the bootloader.

Conclusion
This should help get you started in enjoying a Windows 7 / Ubuntu Linux dual boot configuration. There are definitely other ways to get a Windows / Linux dual boot system, but if you want a quick method, so you can try out Ubuntu, this method works well.
