Linux Mint 5 Elyssa Community Editions (KDE)

After a while I resume my writing on this little blog to report a pleasant discovery: Linux Mint 5 Elyssa
Community Editions (KDE desktop)
L 'I tried it in Live el' I immediately installed on my test mule (an old PIII 800Mhz spinning like a train ..... but only with Gnu-Linux of course!) . The graphics are very attractive and above all, a really nice menu, original and funny (and usable!) I was really impressed. This directly derived from Kubuntu distro I had already affected by the version 4.0 but now I really believe it enough to put in "standby" ready to be installed on my new Acer laptop.

clear right away that there is nothing extraordinary compared to the other (in fact, does not even sound pulse and uses KDE 3.5.9) but what he presents it really well and makes it work especially well. In fact, besides to 'original application menu using various management tools very well made as XAMPLE MintUpdate MintInstall and whose names are already self-explanatory. He also Gdeby for debian packages and Envy for proprietary drivers. United States, like previous versions, the repository of ubuntu (in our case ubuntu 8.04) but has one more chance, connecting to the web page www.linuxmint.com can exploit a specific repository Mint called "portal software. They are installed by default most of the video and audio codecs, and then immediately able to play MP3s and watch movies and DVDs without downloading codec "strange", you can also install the packages of Italian for all the tools the distro (or almost!) does not, however, as all the latest distro, the pulse audio server, which I imagine will be included in the next release, what will be referred to ubuntu 8.10

For the more "technical "I can say that the distro, live and installable software has among its holdings:

KDE 3.5.9 OpenOffice 2.4
Firefox 3

Linux Kernel 2.6.24 Xorg 7.3.

For the less technical but I can say that the distro ........ you cunt!
Try it!

Puppy!

here we are talking about a distro very interesting, useful and .... nice to see!

Puppy Linux is a distribution live and installable developed by Barry Kauler, the current version has been completely rewritten and is not derived from any other distro, then do not talk about clones of Red Hat or Debian but a distro with its particularities combined with a brand new 2.6 series kernel. He
very small, is very light in terms of employment of Ram and has also a window manager as simple and lightweight ( JWM) and that is why it is much used by those who want to "revive old hardware with limited RAM and processor dating in this specific field Puppy at its best if we can make operational real "water heaters"!

The entire operating system and all applications run from RAM, making it possible to remove the disk after the system has been loaded.
settings like any other live distro that respects can be stored on USB memory stick or on a special file 's hard drive, even where there is a partition in Windows.

Puppy takes no more than about 90 MB and can therefore also be used by old or 128 MB Memory Stick can be burned to CD mini 8 cm!

has a good software bundle, even if not the most celebrated programs of other distros eg. But uses OpenOffice Abiword. How to use Opera Web browser. You can
install many programs and last but not least Puppy Linux Live is one of the few distributions able to save files to the CD itself through the distro in multisession burning, which allows users to store data, add programs and customize the settings, always using the same CD.

I highly recommend to all who have an older laptop or a stationary PC incompatibility with new versions of Windows (bleah. ..!) To try Puppy Linux before throwing machines that could still give some satisfaction to write documents or surf the Internet.

The current version is 4.0 "Dingo" which occupies about 88MB and you can

download it here Enjoy!

News Autumn 2008 ... OpenSUSE 11.0

This fall promises to be "hot" in terms of the GNU-Linux distros, many of historical distros are going to release the latest versions (or releases).

Expect a roaring time in October, which has already announced a series of distro releases of "minor" as one can easily see on distrowatch.com.

All the fans are waiting with anticipation to the next release of Debian presenting his Lenny with 5.0 series kernel 2.6.26, X. Org 7.3 but no particular novelty in supported versions of the two major interfaces frafiche that is "proven" Gnome 2.20 el 'latest version of KDE 4 before the revolution, that is 3.5.9

We then test the new Mandriva 2009 instead be presented with the new KDE 4.1 or the 'last Gnome 2.24, the 2.6.27 kernel series a lot of improvements in the control center el' last "cry" of Firefox ie the vers. 3

Anch 'it comes with the 2.6.27 kernel the new Gnome 2.24 KDE 4.1 a new version of Compiz installed by default with dozens of new effects and last but not least a brand new graphic theme!

Finally we wait for the Fedora 10 with kernel 2.6.27, Gnome 2.24, KDE 4.1, X. Org 7.4 a "strange" tool based on the WEB to install software (I do not like at all solutions like that ...) as well as several other useful tools for security and data recovery

So we are all "anxiously" waiting ......

Hide Plumbing Pedestal Sink

gladly publish an article on Distrowatch OpenSuse , a distro that does not stretch frequently (tested only once a couple of years ago) , at the request of a couple of friends who use a version to work (Enterprise)

The birth of OpenSUSE dates back to 1992 when four of Linux enthusiasts - Roland Dyroff, Thomas Fehr, Hubert Mantel and Burchard Steinbild - launched the project which was called SuSE (Software und System Entwicklung) Linux. In the early days, the young company sold in a set of floppy disks, the German version of Slackware Linux, but it was not long before SuSE Linux became an independent distribution with the launch of version 4.2 in May 1996. In the years following the SuSE developers adopted the RPM package management system and introduced YaST, a system of system administration in graphical mode. Frequent releases, excellent printed documentation, and the widespread availability of SuSE in stores across Europe and North America, resulted in the increasing popularity of the distribution.

SuSE Linux was acquired by Novell, Inc. in late 2003. Big changes in the development, licensing and availability of SUSE Linux followed a little later - YaST was released under the General Public License, the ISO images were freely distributed for public download, and most importantly, the development of the distribution was opened to public participation for the first time. Since the launch of the openSUSE project and the release of version 10.0 in October 2005, the distribution became completely free in every sense. The code of openSUSE is now the basis for all commercial products of Novell, originally called Novell Linux, later renamed to SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Today

openSUSE has a large following of satisfied users. The main reason why openSUSE receives gratification from users are cleanliness and beauty of desktop environments (KDE and GNOME), excellent system administration utility (YaST), and, for those who bought the boxed version, one of the best written records available today. However, the recent agreement between Novell and Microsoft, which apparently recognizes the rights of intellectual property of Microsoft on Linux, has resulted in a welter of condemnation by many Linux personalities and has convinced some people to change their distribution. Although Novell has disregarded the agreement and that Microsoft has not exercised any rights, this event remains a thorn in the eyes of many companies Linux Community.

• Pro: Configuration Tool understandable and intuitive large repository of software packages, excellent infrastructure of the website and printed documentation
• Cons: Novell has partnered with Microsoft in November 2006 that legalized Microsoft to hold rights to Linux, the graphical procedure in the management and administrative the desktop is often seen as clumsy and slow "
  
• package management software: Graphics YaST and the command line with the use of RPM packages
  
• Available editions: openSUSE processor 32-bit (i386), 64-bit (x86_64) and PowerPC (ppc) SUSE Linux Enterprise for i586, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x and x86_64, and even a live DVD edition does not install
