Sharp launches ARM-based Ubuntu device
Cnet Asia
Last week Sharp unveiled its PC-Z1 under the “NetWalker” brand in Japan which is a little different from your regular Netbook. While it has a small form factor screen and keyboard the innards of this device are not quite like the other Intel Atom-based minilaptops. The PC-Z1 has an ARM-based processor and runs a version of the Linux distribution Ubuntu. ther specifications include a 5-inch widescreen LCD Wi-Fi microSDHC card slot and a weight of just 409g. The PC-Z1 is supposed to have a 10-hour battery life and comes with a quick launch feature which lets you check your email in about 3 seconds. It’s not the first time we have come across an ARM-based device running Linux.

CrunchGear
MX515 CPU 512MB RAM (fixed) 4GB flash storage microSDHC support for up to 16GB 802. The battery lifespan for the Ubuntu-powered device is 10 hours. There is also a “quick launch” function which makes the device boot in three seconds. Sharp says the device is targeted as users who look for a device that rolls Internet access an electronic dictionary and an e-Book function into one. The PC-Z1 goes on sale in Japan on September 25 for $450 (in white and black). Sharp hasn’t said anything about international sales plans yet.

At the moment the Ubuntu Software Store is not installed by default in the current development release of the upcoming Ubuntu 9. 10 (Karmic Koala) distribution but it can be easily installed by searching “software-store” in Synaptic. However even if the Ubuntu Software Store will be available in Ubuntu 9. 10 (Karmic Koala) it will NT replace the aforementioned applications as the users are still used to them and because the Ubuntu Software Store is still in development!

Linux’s Desktop Growing Pains
InformationWeek
It’s just that Linux exhibits it more than most possibly due to the nature of the attention drawn to it. For any particular version of Linux to make headway on the desktop it needs to be directed and planned and executed by someone or a group of someones who can take final responsibility for everything. They’re trying to do just that but they haven’t done it by starting anew. They’ve inherited both the legacy software and legacy development behavior of existing Linux projects which are steered more often by engineering conceits than user needs. Their work has not been radical enough by an order of magnitude. The most creative and exciting work done with end-user-facing Linux right now is being done by people who take its essence — the kernel — and leave behind as much of the legacy end-user material (X.

Ubuntu offers our own unique brand of leadership
Thought Leader
In the current atmosphere of heightened demand for service delivery and leadership accountability we desperately need leaders with serious ubuntu credentials to lead us out of service delivery protests and regular strikes. This can only be effectively done by visible delivery on promises made and meeting expectations. But many of us cannot tell the difference between pedestrian run-of-the-mill leadership and credible inspired leadership with spine and ubuntu values. r can we? The numbers among us of people that do not give a hoot about who is leading us are dwindling and that has to be a good sign surely. President Zuma’s Cabinet although large shows smart thinking and is a great start towards meeting some of the hither-to neglected challenges head-on.

Ubuntu Debian Partner to Employ Communist Era Model
Server Watch
getElementById(”toolBoxShareMenu”));K enough economics 101 already. The reason I mention all this stems from an offer made by Ubuntu head honcho Mark Shuttleworth to put some of his staff to work on the Debian distro to help Debian developers get ready for a proposed code freeze in December. Underlying this is a desire on Shuttleworth’s part to get as many distros release cycles as possible “in sync” which would Shuttleworth believes benefit the entire Linux community — from the distros themselves to upstream developers and end users.

How To Create A Portable Ubuntu Installation USB n The Mac
Ethiopian Review
The only option to get it up and running ? without the need to buy (or borrow) an external optical drive ? is to install the S via a USB thumb drive. Armed with my faithful MacBook an internet connection and a 2GB USB flash disk; I set out on an adventure to bring my daughter?s future netbook alive. Deciding on the SIt didn?t take long for me to decide to install Ubuntu on the netbook. Free would be the first reason and familiarity is the second. I?ve tried Ubuntu before and I have the installation CD with me. As naive as it sounds some people still think that you can just copy and paste the content of the CD to the USB drive and boot the machine with it. That?s why my first quest is to find out how to transfer the installation ability of the CD to USB as a portable Ubuntu installer – the Mac way of course.

The hard drive has been checked out by a software program from the model’s manufacturer. No USB peripherals are plugged in (except for the keyboard and mouse that came with the system). But even after all that — and my willingness to sacrifice the contents of the built-in hard drive (all my data is always stored on an external USB hard drive) — I still can’t get Windows Vista or Windows 7 to install or run even though the open source. In desperation I did contact Acer by e-mail only to be informed that I would have to part with $60 for a half-hour of time with a telephone tech support representative to get any official help.

Tip 2: Setting your trashcan as a bookmark will add it to your main menu. Just navigate to the trashcan go to bookmarks>add bookmark and there you have it. Tip 3: To change your theme or icon set simply download a tbz file and drag the file into the window; viola! Ubuntu auto-installs them and you are ready to go. Tip 4: To modify your wallpaper click the small sliver available and go to change wallpaper. Much easier than navigating preferences wallpaper change add. Tip 5: To make your windows more easily viewed right click the main bar and click unmaximize then resize.

au these days where you used to see Debian and Slackware die-hards you’ll see a massive wave of Linux laptops proudly sporting Ubuntu paraphernalia. I switched the Linux half of my home desktop PC to Ubuntu four years ago and my media center followed this year as I said goodbye finally to the venerable Windows XP. The growing dominance of Ubuntu (at least on the desktop the server room seems to have been won by Red Hat) has delivered the Linux community a serious advantage in its ongoing war against the incumbent Windows and Apple platforms because of its ability to give software developers a single platform to concentrate on and polish to a degree not seen previously. In this context Google’s decision to create its own Linux distribution and splinter the Linux community decisively once again can only be seen as foolhardy and self-obsessive. Instead of treading its own path Google should have sought to leverage the stellar work already carried out by Shuttleworth and his band of merry coders and tied its horse to the Ubuntu cart. If Google truly wants to design a new “windowing system on top of a Linux kernel” there should be nothing to stop the search giant from collaborating openly with the best in the business.
