News of MeeGo after his "decline"
Meegan
Economic relations between companies and enterprises of all types take different forms so alien to human relations that nothing seems able to make a link to enable a comparison between the two worlds. While operators have the blinders of the strategy and calculation, taking the other players merely as means for their own purposes, individuals dealing with similar observed only from the point of view of generosity, love and respect.
However there are times when both worlds converge, are mixed, thereby resulting complexities that require analysis. A case in point is the destination that offers MeeGo after the strategic alliance between Nokia and Windows earlier this year. Since this alliance argued that: in order to do a bit of shade as well established competition represented by Android and iPhone OS, it is necessary to generate a trade pact in which all Nokia products incorporating Windows Phone 7.
But until then working with Linux Nokia evenly on your operating system Meego. Well, once the new covenant replaced the old, what would happen to poor old alliance that led to Meego?
Well, all is not lost for this operating system. Read more
Errors in Fedora 15 Beta
Error in Fedora 15
Fedora has achieved what many operating systems and secretly want to fail to make a profound way: stability. It was this quality that has positioned inside one of the best options to unleash the genuine experience of open source and free software for Linux.
Some time ago had come to light in the world of scholarly debates about operating systems a release schedule of Fedora 15 "Lovedock". This calendar, which many people put their trust after learning problems and deficient alpha version of this operating system, claimed that the April 12 all users could access the Beta. On the latter had created high expectations: that the nucleus would be 2.6.38, that when it comes to issues of novelty desktop environment to Gnome would Gnome3 Shell, KDE 4.6 and Xfce another 4.8; that would rule out OpenOffice to replace by LibreOffice, etc..
Clearly there was every reason to hope. However, we can check in just to try the Beta version is not available for download. ¿Unfulfilled promise? Not be generated too many fears and unfounded fears. It often happens that developers do not arrive on time with self-imposed deadlines on more than one case for an issue that has more to do with marketing than with the real work required for each program.

Linux Mint Xfce and LXDE Mint 10
A snapshot of XFCE
It is known that Mint is a distribution based on Ubuntu that has become famous in the community of Linux users the simplicity of their desks, and the lightness of their proposals. Clearly, the target of Mint has always been the same and have been clear from the start: all users who do not have computers with large resources and / or all users who for various reasons are making the transition from Windows to Linux .
Those who have made this passage initiation usually recommend, then, Mint for two reasons: 1) if you do not have a great team then it can be very useful since it manages resources so fantastic without requiring almost nothing to the computer, 2) if you do not have an extended knowledge of Linux, then you can start with this distributor because surely that will be less traumatic passage.
In this case we like to mention that Linux Mint has released two new updates for desktops light: the Linux Mint Xfce and LXDE Mint 10.
The first distribution is characterized by rolling, that is: not having versions and continually updated based on automatic frees users from thinking about new packages. This is because this version is based on Debian Linux Mint. What allows this is a smooth administration of the system. Read more
¿"Progress" at Canonical?
Canonical unveils the news
The various studies of the processes of rationalization and modernization of society has been highlighted again 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, but it is not hard to remember this kind of debate when the news has recently released Canonical. What do we mean?
Many will know that at first was a system that Ubuntu offered to users on CD and with the possibility, free, welcome to install it on the computer of each user interested. This great service offered to people Canonical was however discovered their own limitations as the phenomenon of hyper became increasingly important. The CD format as all "material" was a burden to the endless circulation of information flows the network idea expressed.
There was no wait that long to unsubscribe to this service and replace it with the offer of online system. Users can test the version 11.04 on a cloud. Read more
Linux Mint 10 KDE Julia
From the February 23 and with only a delay of three months for the GNOME version is available distribution easier installation, better armed for usability and above all elegant and beautiful based on Ubuntu 10.10 and packages. Deb software free and open source code: Mint 10 with KDE 4.6. One recalls Linspire, Xandros, and all were interesting Rxart for the novice user wanting to replace or supplement Win32 XP, all Debian based. Today the solution, other solutions are not Ubuntu Arch, Slackware, OpenSuSE, etc.-is Linux Mint . Unbeatable on the desktop Phenom or Sandy Bridge (PPC there and we only have compilation for ARM). On May 11 looms Linux Mint Katya (without Unity through Lefebvre netbooks without graphics server Wayland as yet).

Security holes in Linux
Linux and malware threats
The reasons why much of the community tends increasingly to switch to Linux are various. One has to do with the comparison between the security it can offer, perhaps Microsoft Windows operating system more "popular" by default-and the kind of experience we offer GNU / Linux. It is common knowledge that if there is an easy target for malware that is Windows.
However, this can not lead to a blind fanaticism on the part of users, as every system has a dark side, weak, weak. The moment which becomes the castle-like house of cards says a Radiohead song. And this has been evidenced in the last ShmooCon hacker conference. It could be demonstrated with Pen in hand, even GNU / Linux had cracks which could happen to a hazard.
The cause is located in the Evince, the package would generate a Thumbnail that would enable you to install an exploit that would eventually take over the system with the help, unintentional, the user. Read more
The ShowMeDo website
To see, to see, learn and collaborate with own contributions, in ShowMeDo can see more educational videos and tutorials that abound on YouTube and enrich knowledge in everything that surrounds and underlies the world of Linux and free software and open. For those who want to read less, while learning. Highly Recommended.
The OS for guitarists
gnuguitarinux
The word "user" is much more abstract than it seems at first appear. Because behind it there is an infinite variety and preferences at all comparable. Is that when we talk about "users" are generalizing a group that itself is fractured, divided, multiplied by their interests and ways of addressing the experience of navigating the operating system.
Thus it is appropriate for the market to diversify in order to make the user category something more concrete. In that case we can say that there are Windows users, Linux users, and so with each OS. But today we want to discuss is the operating system intended for a very precise area of society, limited, but always present: the musicians. And if you ask us to be even more specific, we might say, guitarists.
We speak, of course, the GNUGuitarINUX, Linux OS for guitarists who are just starting in the music world and want to pursue his musical project from a recording of a disc. The software that we use in this OS for these targets are the TuxGuitar or Audacity, although the offer is far more plurívoca.
The importance of this proposal is that Linux is not done under the cloak of no interest to spurious contamination of the great idea of the project. For the GNUGuitarINUX allowing is to ensure that at the time of the recording there is no operational problem that we ruin the recording. Read more
Behind Maverick Meerkat is a likeBeOS 10.10
Ubuntu is behind the ubiquitous ZevenOS 3.0 with XFCE 4.6.1, a kernel 2.6.35 the previous quarter, including by nouveau driver accelerator free and open to Nvidia 802.11 drivers wireless updates and new WebM & MKV codecs and the software inherited from the defunct Zeta almost five years ago. The announcement of this piece of software (X86 only) interposed between what was and what still is sometimes disappointing (Haiku R1) with that weird basement Linux says little and does not say about the quick jump from a close version 2.0 on the This time 3.0. As in the case of Linux Mint, the other version, the Neptune 9.1 Debian base is also available from October (comes with Chromium, Eclipse IDE, Wireshark and Aircrack-ng on 1.4GB DVD). Perhaps the core and around GNU / Linux is because they have few programmers and that they have to get your hands on more trite and distributed among all penguins SouthAfrica Canonical gave us.
It is worth mentioning that also provide the installer for Haiku that Leszek Lesner developed.
An unexpected and welcome support: PPC Linux Mint
Is forthcoming Linux Mint 10 Julia and while other distributions like Ubuntu or openSUSE come apart from the PowerPC architecture-as anachronistic and obsolete excepting understand all the architects of MorphOS - distribution commanded by Clement Lefebvre now splits into Ubuntu and Debian-based foundation to push back a linux installation of more advanced and functional on those processors G3, G4, and so on.
