The .tel domain

.tel domain

The Internet space has a new first level top domain. Yes. We are talking about the .tel domain which companies and government agencies will be able to register domains in this namespace since its release date: December 3rd, 2008. In the second stage, starting February 3rd, registrations will be available to the public. However, the .tel domain registration cost in this stage is very high: $400. Fortunately, the cost will be reduced to $20 after March 24th, 2008.

In addition to make it available, you’ll discover some very interesting features when you own a .tel domain. For example: The owner data will be encrypted in the DNS server and will not be available through the web. Other feature of the .tel domain is that your personal data will be stored as e-mail addresses, link to web pages, address manager… For example: Let the person A have saved the .tel domain of a relative (person B). In the case that person B updates its telephone number in its web page, then, person A will automatically have updated person’s B telephone number on its contact address.

The .tel domain registration release offers a wide range of income to telephone companies and individuals. Make sure to register your .tel domain as soon as possible.

I found eurodns.com to be a registrar of the .tel domain, if you find other .tel domain registrar please share it with us (leave your comment below).

New Mandriva Flash device

It had been a very long time since I used Mandrake (now, Mandriva) to power my old AMD K6 desktop PC. At the time, I was very happy using a 1280×1024 screen resolution supported by Mandriva in my integrated circuit! Then, I met others GNU/Linux distributions until I chose Slackware as my favorite one.

Today, I started wanting to try Mandriva Linux, again. I felt seducted by the Mandriva Flash device

Mandriva

so I decided to order one. However, I found this message:

“THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR SALE ANYMORE
A NEW VERSION IS COMMING SOON”

ummm… well… I’ll have to wait for the new Mandriva Flash device. I like this gadget because it is easy to carry on, it provides a complete “user-desktop” mobile solution to plug-in and boot (with the possibility to be installed) by almost any computer. Moreover, I trust Mandriva a lot and I think it has a very, very nice desktop environment that supports 3D effects. The new version of the Mandriva Flash device is coming with a boot and restore CD, it is, an additional item that I think is really important when we manage a Linux distribution. I read the price to be: 59 euros. I think it is a cheap price if you consider that the new Mandriva Flash device is 8 Gb!
