B12K : Ubuntu 9.10
Dec 22nd
The new 9.10 distribution of Linux Ubuntu has just made its entry. Even if it has just been finished ,and even if I’ve just been using it for 3 days , It simply convinced me ,it is simple, light and functional.
The Ubuntu gives more than ever to widows and other OS users , reasons to seriously consider migrating to Linux. It comes at a time when everyone is trying to test the different options in terms of OS searching for other alternatives to windows. Linux offers a platform for users attracted by an operating system easy to use, beautifully suited to the web.
On my laptop, the installation of the system took only ten minutes. Canonical servers have stood firm even when the installer was downloading the language packs (which was really not the case in the past, especially when a new version Ubuntu was launched ).
A flawless operating system?
The loading time of the OS is relatively short and all devices of my laptop were automatically identified. The interface design is simply superb, although if I’m getting a little bit rid of the brown desktop (fortunately, it is possible to change it very easily ). the Ubuntu 9.10 has simply honored its promises and is very close from perfection.
The application (Ubuntu Software Center) is clear and well thought. The software management is facilitated. Which means that one of the biggest problems of this Linux distribution thas been solved . Note also that the audio management and 3G connectivity is a lot more better .
Another good point, the software packages are particularly updated: Linux kernel 2.6.31, GNOME Desktop 2.28.1, Firefox 3.5.3 web browser, office suite OpenOffice.org 3.1.1, Photo Manager F-Spot 0.6. 1.3, image editor GIMP 2.6.7, music player Rhythmbox 0.12.5 … Totem (video player), Empathy (instant messaging software replacing Pidgin) and Evolution (messaging) are directly delivered with GNOME.
Finally, Ubuntu One is a set of online services that can store, synchronize and let you share files. 2 GB are available for free, but you can opt for 50 GB of storage space for a monthly fee of $ 10.
A server version, based on cloud computing
A version of Ubuntu specifically designed for the world of servers. It integrates Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), a cloud computing environment compatible with the programming interface of Amazon EC2. Moreover, Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition is itself present on the Amazon EC2 service.
You can then establish a cloud computing architecture that can be deployed on either one private cloud (via UEC) or public (via Amazon EC2), and this, without making changes to your code. This unique initiative of can popularize the concept of private cloud.
I personally, have already taken my decision , my OS is UBUNTU , try it guy : ) I promises that you’ll at least start asking yourself the question : is there any alternative to windows OS , let me answer your question my dear friend, definitely .
B12K : Opera 10.00 (Unite)
Jul 17th
Yep it’s official , Opera is now launching the 10th version  of its browser with an intention of revolutionizing the world of files exchanging.
But what’s so special about that ???? This version will include a web server, called “Opera Unite”. You will No more need to upload your files to a server so you can share them with your friends, or even configure your FTP access. Users wishing to access the content you share will do it directly on your computer!
Thus the special thing Is that, the computer now will play the role of both the client and the server, with no need of a third-party server. This server will also be able of integrating HTML pages, and share files easily.
With this new version you will be able to :
- -Experience a new type of File sharing: to share a file, you’ll just need to set access rights and The server will automatically generate a URL from where the file can be downloaded.
- - Photo Sharing to share photos.
- - Media Player to listen or share your music with streaming.
- - Web Server to host your Web site on your own machine.
- - The Lounge to discuss with other opera users.
- - The Fridge to send virtual post-it
However, a big problem remains: if you host your website on your own computer you’ll have to be sure that you will not be disconnected , and of course you’ll have to leave your computer on 24 hours per day , your mom or your wife will not appreciate that, I’m sure 
I’m sure that this version of the Opera will push a lot of users to let down its concurrent such as Internet explorer, Firefox or Google chrome.
To know more about this new version of opera featuring its new component Unite, I invite you all to watch this video that will for sure show you some of how yout browser will be able to do soon .
