MC2 Post 599: Ubuntu is Officially "A Little Less Human."



Ubuntu is Officially "A Little Less Human."


Like Tiger's "Apology",  it should have been Tweeted First.





It (Ubuntu), was You Tubed, by  Mark Shuttleworth, 

Ubuntu's Founder, Yesterday.



Unfortunately there is no info on the new theme, called Lucid 

User Interface (and there is no Artwork drop) 

A freeze will take place on March 4, 

so we should see it in action very soon!


============================== ==============================


Also Tucked into the Linux' Files:

How To Stream Videos (Any Format) To Your iPhone [Linux w/ WINE].





The original How-To was posted on LifeHacker (A Great Site by-the-way) and 

using Air Video, Free from the App Store.  Of Course it was posted to 

work Only On PC or Mac's Desktops, naturally.


Someone tried it on Linux (Ubuntu) and used Wine 

(to take the place of windows) and it Worked there too!



Here's the Link to the How-To on Linux.

MC2 Post 598:





What The Heck IS This???

TonidoPlug

Really a Marvell SheevaPlug with a 1.2 GHz CPU, 512 MB of DDR2 memory
and a 512MB flash Disk for $99 bucks.

Connect to wall, connect an Ethernet cable and an external USB Disk Drive
and you're ready to go, with an NAS Adapter.  

But Wait, there's More.



Linux Wall Wart Works Swell...


Oh Yeah, and it runs Ubuntu Linux

=====================


Why can't MS Do This???

Wingman talking...

Google Docs Replaces OpenOffice in Ubuntu Netbook Edition

 

 Google Docs Replaces OpenOffice 
in Ubuntu Netbook Edition

"Digitizor reports that the Ubuntu developers have dropped 

OpenOffice from the default installation of Ubuntu Netbook 

Edition (UNE) 10.04 and replaced it with Google Docs.

Documents in Ubuntu Netbook Edition will now be opened 

in Google Docs by default."
====================


Dropping OO seems to be a Bad Choice and a Lot of Ubuntu users seem to reflect that...

A lot of Debate here about This move by Ubuntu.



Just a Glimpse about what Forums are Chatting about, on this issue.

====================
====================
Not Using Ubuntu, or any Other Linux Distro lately, but still Very Interested in what is going on There.

Another Linux Format Magazine, Another DISTRO

(Note: Not the current issue.)

The July Issue of Linux Format magazine, a British publication, came with a dual sided DVD which contained UBUNTU 8.04 : Hardy Heron LTS and on the flip-side: Mandriva One 2008:Spring.

Being a long time fan of LINUX FORMAT (I get a copy almost every month at BN booksellers),

I've gotten a ton of Linux Distributions this way. Why an American company can't seem to do the same is beyond me.

A full PC Operating System (again, this month: two) for the price of a very good magazine about Linux, the Open Source Oprerating System.

The DVD jacket cover says:

Includes Gnome, KDE and Xfce
Live distro: try without installing
64-bit and Server ISO images

And that's just on one side !!!

Okay, let's read between the lines and see what just the dvd cover is telling us.

LTS means Long Term Support. This Distro, which is Rock-Solid, will have Security Updates for Three Years!

The Triad: Gnome, KDE and Xfce means it comes with 3 choices for the Desktop.

Also include is the 64 bit version and The Server ISO.

As Patrick Norton of Tekzilla would say:

"So much Good Stuff!"

I agree Patrick, I Hardily (as in Heron), agree.
