NexentaCore Platform 2.0 βeta2
OpenSolaris build104 + symbiosis and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (replacing Debian) to gain support for hardware, can now use apt-clone from Zetta Filesystem to install, manage, update applications Sun / Linux compatible (13000 packages in the repository). A GNU system with Solaris kernel but it seems like a Linux.

PC-BSD 7.1 "Galileo" αlpha2
Faster than my updates to PCBSD is the development of BSD Unix FreeDesktop more "pretty" and easy when installing software, now based on FreeBSD 7.1-Stable and adding Xorg 7.4 (headaches for Kris Moore and colleagues) with KDE 4.2. I guess you already have full support in Spanish from the preferred windowmanager Linus Benedict Torvalds.

Security Update for Adobe Flash Player
Adobe just released an update to version 9 and version 10 of Flash Player that fixes a number of issues important enough so everyone should update the software, and is available for Linux, Solaris, OS X and Windows. It affects virtually everyone, because Flash Player is installed on 98% percent of the world's computers. It does not have the latest version, a computer can become infected by simply viewing a web page.
To determine the version of Flash Player that we installed, we agree to this test page Adobe Flash:

If you are running version 9, version 9.0.151.0 (9.0.152.0 for Linux) and previous errors. The version 9.0.159.0 is safe. If you are running version 10, version 10.0.12.36 (10.0.15.3 for Linux) and previous errors. The version 10.0.22.87 is safe. Source .
Nanowires to create memory circuit
Stuart Parkin, a former developer for IBM hard disk, goes after a memory chip with a storage capacity of magnetic hard disk, the durability of electronic flash memory, and faster than both: technology called "memory Circuit. " He claims that the current limiting are two-dimensional structures and proposes the use of nanowires (not read Bill Joy as Kurzweil have read a lot but fears Kazcinsky) three-dimensional magnetic lattices contiguous, if successful, the current perpendicular recording Hitachi and WD be at the Museum of International Business Machines developments. The device handle 100 times more data in the same area as NAND Flash uses transistors, fast as RAM. Now everything depends on the material used for the nanowire comes after this time of wire-less ... and there will be petabytes of holography.

Mac OS 10 Leopard upgrade will have a more
Since the last version published on 15 December all expect Snow Leopard which is currently in build 10A261, but well before the summer will allow progress to OS X 10.5.7, security updates and minor synchronization with mobile devices so require. The Snow Leopard will come later with maximum use of Intel multicore and GPU as ATI Radeon HD 4850 that border the stream-teraflop their processors.

How to write your Linux virus in 5 easy steps.
This is the headline with which I am in http://www.geekzone.co.nz/foobar/6229
As discussed in the web that mention, has always been said that Linux and Unix systems are extremely safe. Sim, however, that as time passes these systems be gaining users, and these programs using increasingly more complex and more "automatic / comfortable", causes the lack of knowledge, the routine use or lack of foresight made our system as robust, at least internally, to become a sieve. In the article that I have left are described 5 steps to create a type of software that is able to spread through almost every Linux and Unix with Gnome and / or KDE and cause damage that can be considered quite simply with a little social engineering. This article could easily open multiple debates but particularly I think the more necessary would be to talk about the minimum training that anyone should have when using a computer, after all we have learned also all driving?
Reduced version of Windows 7 for netbooks?
We learned from Slashdot that Microsoft intends to create a cropped version of Windows 7 for the "less powerful netbooks" that would only have 3 applications open simultaneously. We do not know if it's a version with some different requirements, resource consumption than the other versions provide, or if there will be much price difference with the version without limitation. According to a study by the company, the "normal" users of their systems has opened an average of 2 applications at once, so the limit of three is reasonable for them.
Interview with Linus Torvalds, the father of Linux ;)
In Distrowatch find a recent interview the father and creator of Linux or GNU / Linux for the purists where among other things talks about his change of KDE to Gnome (apparently not by choice) and tell us what you use distribution . Linus also makes clear that from their point of view there are so many distributions is not bad, quite the opposite, which is necessary.
