Ubuntu 8.10 ‘Intrepid Ibex’ Beta Screenshots Tour
LXer (press release), TX
Resolution is 1280×1024. I also performed a full apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and restarted the computer before taking the screenshots, so the installation is more recent than the actual beta release. Although I’m a KDE fan, after the last Kubuntu release (8. 04 – LTS) I was a little disappointed, so I decided to try Ubuntu 8. 10, which is going to be the next release of this wonderful distribution, codenamed ‘Intrepid Ibex’. Ubuntu is definitely the most popular Linux distribution, also occupying the top position at page hits on Distrowatch. com for almost 4 years now.
Wikipedia dumps Red Hat for Ubuntu
Register, UK
Wikimedia has been running on a mix of Red Hat development and commercial Linuxes since it was founded seven years ago, and while the number of machines that have been changed is relatively small in terms of the size of the Linux universe, it is a win nonetheless for Canonical, the commercial company behind the Ubuntu distribution. Gerry Carr, marketing manager at Canonical, said Wikimedia began its transition to Ubuntu in earnest in April with the Ubuntu 8. 04 Long Term Support (LTS) launch, although the organization had some Ubuntu 6. 04 instances running on its servers alongside a mix of Fedora and Red Hat distributions starting back in 2006. Servers dominateWikimedia has 350 servers today supporting its operations and fewer than 20 desktops, with the exception of a couple of servers still running a Red Hat Linux and a Windows desktop machine that is used to run QuickBooks to do the accounting for the foundation. All remaining servers and many desktops are running Ubuntu 8.

Hidebound blogger tries getting hip with new OS
Hot Air, MD
It came from a consulting relationship with my last corporate employer, but they haven’t needed my services in a long time, and it ran on Windows NT, which is next to impossible to customize. I figured it would make a good environment for an experiment in Linux, which I’ve never used. After starting off with a trial version of Red Hat, which I botched completely, I installed.
Is CompUSA.com poised to be the Crazy Eddie of Linux?
ZDNet Blogs
6Ghz Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, an 80GB hard disk, built-in wireless and built-in webcam, it’s definitely at least as capable as the comparable netbook products from ASUS and Dell. That CompUSA is taking a stand and promoting the. With its rock-bottom prices, CompUSA could be positioned to be the king of cheap Linux-based PC sales, if they take this to the next level, which would be to preload the OS on its bargain PC refurbs and get some value-added SystemMAX OEM whiteboxes out there with Linux pre-installed.
Happy new year for Celticsâ’ Tony Allen
The Patriot Ledger, MA
?Unfortunately, my leg wasn?t strong enough to compete for that spot and it went to the better man and it was best for the team. We won a championship. ?It was tough, but we?ve got this thing called Ubuntu (team success comes from individuals). I?m so a part of it. Even last year when I wasn?t playing, I was still a part of it with Ubuntu. ?? With Posey leaving for the New Orleans Hornets via free agency, the Celtics need Allen to be a much bigger part of their picture this season. The player who made impressive strides before getting hurt midway through the 2006-07 season, then took a step back with the injury is being counted on to be a major player off the bench.
