Linux Distro Guide (Part 1) 2008-01-15 09:07:00 Operating System in the world of open source especially Linux
not something that was standard and stiff. We were given by the freedom to customize the Linux so that in accordance with the requirement and our appetite (of course by honoring the work of the other person also), so that why a great number distro that circled at this time. Therefore according to me was not distro that better than the other distro, because every distro was made for the certain aim, available only distro whatever that was most appropriate for his user. In broad outline distro linux if being inspected from the aim of his production could be divided into three, that is: Distro for desktop. Distro for server. Distro for the special requirement.Although not closing the possibility of having some distro that was multi Read more:Guide
Set up wireless broadband access with YaST 2008-01-12 00:41:00 Thanks to Linux kernel updates and newly added drivers, wireless broadband
access is now easy to set up on laptops. However, some vendors, such as Verizon, don't support broadband PCMCIA adapters. A script can help, but trying to edit a script can be difficult for entry-level users, and Internet service providers (ISP) often provide little information that can help. Enter openSUSE's YaST, a graphical program that can help users configure their laptops to use wireless broadband PC Cards and other types of modems to connect to a network. First, you need to set up the adapter and its drivers. These instructions come from my experience using a laptop running openSUSE 10.3 with kernel 2.6.22-13-0.3, YaST 2.15.58-12, KDE 3.5.8, KNetworkMana

When Enlightenment met Ubuntu 2008-01-06 21:02:00 Many Linux distributions try to be visually appealing. Some use Beryl-Compiz for cool 3-D effects on resource-laden boxes, while others turn to desktops like Enligtenment for a little bit of gloss at the expense of functionality. Geubuntu is a new distro that combines the best of those two worlds, equipping Enlightenment
with bits from GNOME and Xfce on top of Ubuntu
. Geubuntu 7.10 "Luna Nuova" is only the second release of the distro, which seems to trace Ubuntu's release cycle. As the version number suggests, Geubuntu 7.10 is based on Ubuntu 7.10, from which it borrows the kernel and user conveniences like the restricted-drivers management utility. Geubuntu is an installable live CD, but it can also be
OpenMoko to Show Open-Source Phone 2008-01-04 09:44:00 The open source phone lives! OpenMoko will show a new version of their "Linux handheld computer," the Neo1973, at CES this year – and what's better is, they may be about to start selling it. The Neo1973 created a lot of buzz at last year's CES, too. It's a fully open-source smart phone developed by a spinoff of a major Taiwanese manufacturer, and it's the only handheld "open from the iron to the eyeballs," according to OpenMoko's vice president of marketing, Steven Mosher. That means that like a PC, but unlike most phones and PDAs, owners can truly do whatever they want with it. The OpenMoko is even more open than Google's much-heralded Android project, Mosher says. "The Android platform is kind of half-open and half-closed. It's closed at the bottom; you can't put it on any phon Read more:Source
Get produvtive with GENOME Do 2008-01-04 09:26:00 We’re all swamped with information: emails, documents, pictures and the hundreds of websites we visit every week. There are two ways to deal with the data overload: Get organised and file everything in its right pace. Or you can use GNOME Do, a desktop launcher for Ubuntu in the style of Launchy for Windows and Katapult for KDE, which acts as your humble servant and finds exactly what you’re looking for when you’re looking for it. Sounds too good to be true? GNOME Do is still in the early stages of development but is already showing signs of becoming a desktop essential. Using GNOME Do is simple enough. Use the meta key (usually the Windows key on most keyboards) and the spacebar to bring the search box to the front, then type in what it is you’re looking for. Looking for a directo
Sun launches backline OpenOffice support for distributors, OEMs 2007-12-29 00:09:00 Sun launched a new program this week offering back line support for OpenOffice
that is targeted at OEMs and distributors
. The intent is to provide corporate customers with fixes and patches for unique issues and problems that may affect only a handful of customers, or OpenOffice conflict with particular distributions that may not get fixed by the OpenOffice.org community, Mark Herring, Sun’s senior director of marketing for StarOffice and OpenOffice told ZDNet. Sun is in discussions with the leading Linux distributors including Novell and Ubuntu, and IBM, which launched its own Symphony desktop based on OpenOffice last September. Sun’s role would be invisible to the end user; the OEM or distributor would pay Sun for backline support and extend to their customers who use OpenOffice.
A visual GRUB configuration editor 2007-12-28 23:48:00 If you've been running Linux long enough to have upgraded your system more than once, you probably have several Linux kernels lurking around your system. If you discover that a certain application no longer works for you, you can go back to a previous kernel to try to run your program. GRUB, the boot loader found in most Linux distributions, lets you choose among operating systems and kernels installed on your box. Many people, however, fear that messing with GRUB may ruin their system, because of its many esoteric options, and configuration file text that often contains no help comments. QGRUBEditor can help you view and edit the GRUB boot loader from a graphical user interface.(source from : "" by Sergio Gonzalez Duran )
World Wind -- an open source alternative to Google Earth 2007-12-28 23:28:00 Few of Google
's projects, rumors of projects, and acquisitions have generated as much envy among Linux users as Google Earth
. In some respects the search engine behemoth is quite OS-agnostic, but the 3D virtual globe remains limited to Windows desktops only. But there is an alternative. NASA's World
Wind project -- like Google Earth
-- is a 3D planetary visualization system that overlays satellite imagery, weather, political, and topological map data. Zoom in and look for your childhood home, fly past your favorite landmarks, study the coastlines for continental drift -- you have all of the same options. The only difference is that World Wind is open source
. Google Earth, you may recall, is a re-branding of Keyhole, Inc.'s Earthviewer product. It relies primarily o
