Ubuntu Kung Fu

What Ubuntu must do
Manila Standard Today Philippines 
Already what appears to be a leaked pre-beta test copy is already being circulated on torrent sites and generating buzz a sign that Microsoft is eager to put Vista behind it and reassert its dominance. Under these circumstances I would argue that this year is a crucial time for Linux as well if it ever hopes to move beyond 1 percent of the market. My decision to focus on Ubuntu doesn’t disparage other distributions in any way. I chose it simply because it is one of the most popular versions of the free operating system and the flavor with which I am most familiar. I should also make clear that I have not installed the latest version of Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex because its new features do not really make it worth my while to upgrade from Hardy Heron which I find works well. The next major upgrade Jaunty Jackalope is expected in April and here’s what I hope it will do. Fix all sound issues.

RE: Test Results
S News 
Windows 7 might be better than XP and Vista (depending which way you look at it from) but I still don’t see myself migrating to it. I refuse to use an S full of restrictions. I have been testing Ubuntu the last few days and I have been quite happy with it. Slowly but surely I am moving to Linux although there are a few glitches with flash movies and WMV which I hope will be resolved. What restrictions are those? I’m not restricted at all.

Slashdot 
Perhaps we are turning the corner but we still have a big fight on our hands before all computer users have freedom. Perhaps free software has reached a large enough install base that companies are happy to use it for their own gain but aren’t quite so willing to make their own commitments to free software development. How important this is to the success of free software depends on how strong your stance is on freedom is.

Scotlands racle UK 
We cannot just rely on a single individual not matter how noble or brilliant. We must co-labour for our preferred future; it cannot be accomplished alone. In Africa we aspire to a traditional ideology called ‘Ubuntu’ which roughly equates to the concept that ‘I exist because you exist. ’ Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu beautifully describes Ubuntu as follows:‘(Ubuntu means) “a person is a person through other people”. I am human because I belong I participate and I share.

Ubuntu Linux: The Easy Installation Guide
PC World 
10 aka Intrepid Ibex is the most popular Linux distribution available for installing on your PC thanks to its steadily improving hardware compatibility and installation software along with a wealth of free applications and utilities that run on any version of Linux. But even though the bad old days of disappointing Linux installations are mostly over putting Ubuntu on your PC can still be tricky if you haven’t done it before. Many PC users have never had to boot their computers from a CD or had to partition a hard disk. And most of us take for granted that the S will include drivers to handle crucial hardware devices such as graphics cards and wireless networking controllers. For would-be Linux adopters these and other system configuration complexities are make-or-break issues.

Installing applications from various typesThis might not seem like such a bad idea at first. You are running Ubuntu so you know the package-management system uses. But there are a number of applications that you find only in source form. No big deal right? They install they work. Why shouldn’t you?Simple your package-management system can’t keep track of what you have installed if it is installed from source.

Google Watchers Strike Down Google Netbook Notion
eWeek  NY 
Well if Xandros and Ubuntu can make it on netbooks why can’t Android as I asked Friday. Google Watchers have answered the call doubting the appearance of Android on netbooks anytime soon. Performance and other limitations are the reasons as Mike Jones rings in with this sage comment:I’m very much looking forward to replacing my Symbian phone with an Android phone. But on netbooks people want full browsers word processing and productivity applications. These exist and work great on Ubuntu; Android just doesn’t have them.

f course Ubuntu always loses big time while i believe that Ubuntu (which btw means ?humanity for everyone?) is a system simpler to use once you get past all the Windows nonsense that we are all used to. More over you do not have access to account with GUI which could do this. That may seem stupid and it actualy did for me as well however this is the reason why there is N need for: firewalls anti spy-wares anti viruses and so on.

No matter how much some of us might pedantically quibble about the history. Let’s skip the rest of the pedantic and rather tedious and irrelevant hair splitting and skip to the end of your post where you actually say something interesting. ne has to wonder exactly why the default Ubuntu distribution includes 60MB of problematic libraries in the GNME desktop variant of the distribution all for the sake of a photo manager a notes applet and a media player. Photo mangager and Sticky Note applet. The media player is a Novell thing as my previous post pedantically and hair-splittingly made clear. But Banshee aside and with Beagle essentially in the critical care ward in the bed next to XFree86 I would guess that F-Spot is Mono’s single attraction. With Tomboy thrown in to show that Mono isn’t a one hit wonder.
