Zencafe not appear desktop GUI (X-Windows)

Still related to the project and open the internet cafe and because I still "green" in the linux, I looking distributions are easier to service internet-cafe (in this case I) for the project. The choice fell for Zencafe 1,2 by A. Hardiena.

Afterwards I install all user with zencafe, and was successful well.
But when the server is installed zencafe, appear article:
Parse error on line 132 of section monitor in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The HorizSync keyword must be followed by list of numbers of run
Fatal server error : no screens found

As a beginner in Linux, I clear panicked faced this. I did not read well the guidance error earlier.
Anyway, I try to check in /etc/inittab, have written to be, "default4: desktop".

Finally, after with the calm heart and calm thoughts, was read by me once more. Then I open the file / etc/X11/xorg.conf
In line to 132, namely HorizSync line, there is written "158-72." I also confused, this is how the numbers should be replaced?

Fortunately that is I do internet-cafe, where is monitor in general was the same type. So I open / etc/X11/xorg.conf from the client computer, I was compared that setting. That is for the monitor of TriGem 17″, HorizSync is “30 -72 ” .  
Added Option "DPMS", save and restart.

VoilĂ ! now appear desktop GUI it!

But in forum.linux.or.id that use this way:
Using another monitor that has a GUI desktop appears, replace the original monitor.

Might also. Free to use any method. :-D

Dial-up connection with wvdial

The Internet connection in linux that I the first time used xlgprs unlimited from flexterkita.com. The mobile phone that was used by me Motorola C650 with the data cable, as the communication with the computer. 

Then, to test whether the modem is detected, use the command through the console / terminal with the super user (su) mode.

#wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

Once the results come out, that last line:
Found a modem on /de/ttyACM0...and so on

edit / etc / wvdial.conf run by the root (su):
#vi /etc/wvdial.conf

and then I fill in for a dial-up via GPRS-xl mygprs:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”mygprs”,,0,0
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = USB Modem
FlowControl = CRTSCTS
Carrier Check = No
Phone = *99***1#
Username = simaya@mygprs
Password = haveaniceday

Save with used combo: pressured Esc then the colon, w and q (Esc+:wq). If you cancel save, press : Esc+q!

Don't forget to remove the sign “:” in front “Phone;Username;Password” 

Next, to connect to the Internet from the console / terminal typewritten:
$wvdial 

To dissconnected pressed the switch Ctrl+c.

Thats it.

My First Linux

My first Linux experience as difficult my first Night :)
This the following story,

Like most other computer users, I heard the news linux have long ago. And so with say, I immediately interested. But, just as interested.

Just like most other computer users, I have driven with the ease of operating a system that offers convenience - although pirated.

Although the growing Linux world, even some features are adopted by the pirated-OS that I would use, I still reluctant to leave the comfort zone. Furthermore, I learn computer is just as what I need it.

I then scold myself, "How is it you like to learn the computer even though you can not at all!"
Again, just as is.

Then,
The spirit of the linux flare-up, my friends it has started to rant, "linux course, yo! Yo course Linux! "
Just keep it as is.

Finally,
condemnation came too!
Because too long used pirated-OS... I get a project to open linux internet starch in the Pati city that has been sweeping Property Rights.
"Crap!" I jump. At that time, only to see the manifestation linux I have never been!

With the spirit of people trapped I exert all my moment to make learning linux : buy books linux, tried several linux distributions, gogling on the internet, blackmail people so that the knowledge of Linux to me :D

I'm learning materials as choose PCLinuxOS 2007. PCLOS I install first completed, before leaving the field to fight (read: working on the project on linux's internet cafe).
JREEENG...
then appear strange questions:
* how to install the program?
* what the meaning of depedency?
* what the meaning of repository?
* If wanted like this how is it going? If wanted like that how is it going?
# kernel panic! (I'm, not my computer)

Phew,
Just like any learning for the first time, if considering how panic, confused and frustrated at that time, made me smile.
As the words Hideyoshi Toyotomi in the book works Taiko Eiji Yoshikawa-sensei: "The happiness that was received by the man was when succeeding in overcoming the difficulty and stopping for a moment to turn behind saw the road that was passed through."

The conclusion:
Do not be afraid of leaving the comfort zone, if the zone to make it comfortable to use illegal products.

Although being the same the difficulty, the first learning linux as pleased with the first night :D
