New Zorin OS 5
Zorin OS 5
As you may know, Zorin OS is a GNU / Linux based on Ubuntu and original main objective was to make migration from Windows to novice users a simple event and away from any kind of trauma. Changes is emphatic, wherever they occur, tend to question the certainties that we held until then. Fear of change is just the reaction to these risks. Zorin OS The idea was from the beginning, encourage users to make changes and migration, naturally in favor of Linux.
Well, a few days ago that has released a new version Zorin OS: Zorin OS 5. And while nobody knew long ago much of what was brewing in Zorin, we can now see why there was no news to date. The intention was to raise expectations from the perspective of the mole, who works in a low and breaks without warning in the present.
And while so far we are able to access the Core version (free) and Ultimate (surcharge), ie, the supply is not very diversified, we managed to say a few words on what until now can be used . Before that, it's important to say that the next versions (Zorin OS 5 Lite, Educational, Business, Multimedia and Gaming) will appear in the coming weeks.
If we were to summarize the news, we could say that providing the user experience (target maximum of this distribution) is carried out from the interface. Read more
Debian Dilemma
- Debian
The distributor Debian has a policy that now seems to place them in a real dilemma: if they agree to adopt certain new cacracterísticas own times as desired to achieve by any project that seeks to entice users, but in this case the cost is perhaps risking the element that served as a framework for their own identity formation: stability. Conversely, if you do not agree to these developments and keep resisting as they have been doing for years will be ensured stable identity but at the cost of losing a large amount of public and users who may take it as their own. What to do?
Evidently, and according to what has been commenting on the web these days, Debian would be willing to pay the price of the first alternative, since a target server and can not afford professional environments, and would like to access layers broader population. Now, as we said, the price or condition of this possible is bound to leave that paragon of political stability that made each update comes after several years of waiting.
In that sense has been discussed within the areas of Debian the possibility of incorporating the environmental latest GNU / Linux or Ubuntu or also OpenSUSE, as is the use of PPAs.
We'll see how it is for these experiments and whether Debian finally get the desired objective without neglecting the brand that set him apart in the market.
¿"Progress" in Canonical?
Canonical announces the news
The various studies of the processes of rationalization and modernization of society has been highlighted time and again, the fact that "progress" often leave behind items that communities were of great interest and functionality. Thus, the costs of progress were in some cases, so great for some people came to identify with the "return". It is not our case to speculate on this, however it is difficult to remember this kind of debate when the news has recently released Canonical. What do we mean?
Many will know that Ubuntu was initially a system that provided users with CD format and the possibility, free, welcome to install it on the computer of each user interested. This great service offered to people Canonical however, was discovering their own limitations as the phenomenon of hyper became increasingly important. The CD format as any "material", was a burden to the infinite flow of information flows that expressed the idea of network.
There had to wait so long to unsubscribe to this service and replace it with the offer of online system. Users can try the version 11.04 on a cloud. Read more
USB Multiboot creates multiboot (Ubuntu)
Multiboots
Often one is ever justified if it generates love Linux users is due to its practical potential, namely: as a result of the experience of using it, or a theoretical potential: since conceptually presents challenges to other users operating systems do not occur.
Obviously, we can consider that one of the advantages that there are many distributions of Linux is the variety for all tastes, needs and resources. Unlike other operating systems that seek to impose from above that we use and what we do, because they find it economically more profitable, they have the monopoly of production technologies, Linux always possible to use a plurality that ends up with a democratic concept of digital praxis.
However, the proliferation of differences, so rewarding in terms of philosophy, is operational in practical terms? The application lets you today discussed to answer this question affirmatively. If we turn usually tools or Linux-based tools we like to try new distros, would not it be convenient to have them all loaded on a USB stick to boot with a different one every time we need it?
The program discussed (Multiboot) is for Ubuntu, it allows us to make USB drives containing more than one distribution to boot any of them as needed, which is especially useful that will make our work much faster and more convenient. Read more

Mark Shuttleworth wants to unify the maintenance of strategic packages
