Xming + Putty = Run your home linux apps on a remote windows machine
June 29, 2007 at 3:05 pm | In xming, putty, Windows, Linux |

Search on the internet, and you see tonnes of pages and complaints and rants on “I can’t run my windows programs on linux!” Well, what if you’ve never been comfortable in windows, or you’ve finally transitioned to linux and you need to use your linux apps? In actual fact, there is a solution to this, a quick, easy and portable one.

(note: this tutorial is not how to install linux apps on your windows installation; rather it deals with running your linux apps remotely from your linux box using ssh – so it does not work if you dual boot. Although this method does have its disadvantages, such as the need to have your linux machine on, it is useful for remote administrating, and it allows almost any linux app to run with your local settings stored in your home directory)

Equipment needed:

    * Xming – a X11 server for windows (tis is portable so you can carry it around on your flash drive)
    * Xming Portable PuTTY – SSH client for windows (in case you hadn’t noticed, also portable)
    * openSSH Server for linux
    * A linux machine

   1. First off, make sure openSSH server is installed on your linux machine, and if not install it (this differs for each distro; on ubuntu use sudo apt-get install openssh-server or use synaptic)
   2. Thats it, its set up on the linux end! test it by opening up a terminal and typing “ssh -X user@localhost” where user is your username. It should prompt you for a password and start a new session.
   3. If you want to ssh into your linux machine remotely (over the internet) be sure to set up port forwarding to forward port 22 from your router to your linux server.
   4. Now, in windows download and install Xming and Xming Portable PuTTY. Once done navigate to your Xming directory as shown below
 

MpegALot – encoding of large amounts of videos to the MPEG4+AAC format

http://www.merage.uci.edu/~dvdotnet/mpegalot.html 

MpegALot has one purpose – to facilitate the encoding of large amounts of videos to the MPEG4+AAC format (for ipod, PSP, etc).It has several useful features that greatly simplify this task:    * Clean, unified, streamlined GUI that handles all the various "behind-the-scenes" open-source command-line encoding apps    * Encoding frontend is completely multithreaded to take advantage of multicore/multiprocessor/hyperthreaded systems to greatly speed up batch encodes
    * Accepts both files and folders as sources, and can apply custom filtering rules to specify only certain files/folders to encode
    * Can recurse through source folders to encode all files in all subdirectories
    * Output all encoded files to a single folder or to a directory relative to each source´s path
    * Can preserve metadata from source to output files
    * Multi-user aware, so multiple users can run different encoding jobs without interfering with each other
    * AV presets and encoding jobs can be imported/exported as simple XML files for easy transfer between machines
    * "Autorun" mode suitable for launching from the command-line or task scheduler
    * Extensive logging mechanism and GUI for debugging errors and monitoring progress
