Admins K Ubuntu SLG for Central
Duke Chronicle NC
The SLG will be housed on Central Campus starting this Fall. A new selective living group may engage Central Campus in becoming more a part of the greater Duke community. Ubuntu a living group based on civic engagement that was proposed last Spring was approved Tuesday in a meeting with University officials as campus’ newest selective living group.

Virtual Machines Put To The Developer Test
Dr. Dobb’s Journal CA
The results show a minor decrease in performance compared to the controls when the host operating system is the same as the guest operating system. The most surprising result is the difference between running Ubuntu-on-Windows and running Windows-on-Ubuntu. Windows-on-Ubuntu took more than twice the time in creating the objects compared to the control while Ubuntu-on-Windows was actually faster than Windows-on-Windows. verall the results show that there are no major differences between the guest and the host Windows-on-Ubuntu notwithstanding. I suspect that the large differences here are a result of the way the abstraction layer executes the Windows code when Ubuntu is the host. The next test was to determine the comparative speed of the NICs on the various configurations.

Computerworld MA
This 2004 book may be out of date and the copy of MEPIS Linux that comes with it several generations behind the times but Robin does a great job of explaining exactly what you need to know to get to work with Linux. It’s still the best beginner’s book out there as far as I’m concerned. If like a lot of people you’re interested in learning about.

Ubuntu Faster Than Windows XP Feedback

How else could they post so many insults back and forth on Slashdot so quickly?Second I come away saddened because so few geeks can or care to read carefully. Posts asked why I didn’t tell them which browser I used (I did Firefox 3 on both machines). How could I call this a real test? (I didn’t I just noticed how much faster Ubuntu was than Windows XP ran the test seven times on each system back and forth and reported what I saw). How could I call this a serious lab test? (I didn’t and in fact my first words were ?this isn’t a rigorous benchmarked lab test yet?). Windows fanatics always accuse anyone who disputes their claim that Windows Rulz to be brainwashed acolytes of either Linux or Mac depending. Windows apologists always say that if I would go into the Registry and tweak these 12 settings Windows will work much better. Mac fanatics will say they knew it first and the Mac does it better anyway.
