With the release of Fedora 26 on 11th of July, we thought of having release party in our college. With that thought in mind we carried out meeting and discussion on our Linux Users Group’s IRC channel on freenode (#ritinlug). Now with a proper plan we were ready to celebrate the release on 15th of July which was Saturday.
The Plan We aimed at carrying out open discussions about GNU/Linux, Open Source communities, the open culture.

We use HTML almost for everything, it’s simple text with extra attributes like bold, italic etc. This attributes (tags) are parsed by browser in order to display the text.
Writing HTML is not easy always especially if you are writing a book, docs or a long blog post. You have to remember the tags. Add <p> tag to every paragraph.
What is Markdown? The Markdown makes it easy to generate HTML formatted text.

Two months ago I started using IRC. I was connecting to some channels on Freenode, but my connection was not that stable also I keep changing host like sometimes I use machine from lab, my laptop or my Android phone.
If you have used IRC before then you must be familiar with the behavior of IRC server. If you are not connected to server then you will lose the messages when you were disconnected.

Fedora is the perfect Linux distro if you want to discover Linux used in enterprise (Probably Red Hat). As it is maintained by Red Hat it works really smoothly if compared with Ubuntu. With GNOME v3.20.2+ it looks really awesome.
We will dualboot existing Windows 10 with Fedora.

If you have updated your laptop from windows 8.1 to 10 and you were using two finger tap gesture for rightclick,
You must have noticed that updated drivers for touchpad don’t have option to enable two finger tap to rightclick.
Even if you are not using two finger tap gesture, you should enable it. It’s faster than using physical buttons.
There is always a way 😉

Sometimes you need tools from Linux like compiling c, cpp in gcc, grep, git.
Alternatives for Windows are available but all are not efficient.
Sometimes you need to try these tools, what you do is installing Ubuntu in VMWare or Virtual Box. Another alternative is Multiboot.
But what if we had all these tools/Ubuntu in Windows itself? It will make it super easy to work with. You can edit files in your favorite editor and then compile in that Ubuntu, without VM, without Multi boot.

I was just comparing different college websites, most of them were using WordPress. Like we use 😛
but our college website uses only plain html pages (unfortunately 🙁 )
Then I decided to mirror whole website, to see if I can port it to WordPress.
This tutorial is for educational purpose only.
Why someone will mirror a website? To read it offline when you don’t have internet connection. To see whole html structure instead of download individual pages.
