-=Windows Playing On Windows Update=-

Robert Wheeler It's better with Windows !?! - http://feedproxy.google.com/~r..

Windows play by play, should remove this with firefox by whatever means, as it also introduces a flaw to Firefox that would otherwise not be there, through net framework, better to escape anything Microsoft.

Follow the directions @ http://annoyances.org/exec/show/article08-600 in order to remove this to keep firefox as secure as it should be, and why most changed from it in the first place.

Ubuntu "Karmic Koala" by October 2009 Jaunty 9.10 Announced!

Nope, this is not a joke... Mark Shuttleworth, the father of Ubuntu Linux, has just announced a few minutes ago the codename and the goals of the next version of his marvelous operating system, Ubuntu 9.10 (codename Karmic Koala), scheduled for release in October 2009. "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the *Karmic Koala*, the newest member of our alliterative menagerie. When you are looking for inspiration beyond the looming Jaunty feature freeze, I hope you'll think of the Koala, our official mascot for Ubuntu 9.10. And if you'll bear with me for a minute I'll set the scene for what we hope to achieve in that time." - said Mark Shuttleworth in the official announcement. via tuxmachines.org

A new name, a new experience what to look forward to in the next release, of a brand new variation, a whole new version of one of the most popular linux distributions. One which has been so popular because of it's flexibility and support of making progress. As the open source movement continues and with this new addition to the Ubuntu Line, can it truly become the primary operating system and the absolute escape from Windows and closed source. That is at least the hope and with some of my recent readings, there has been more talk of larger organisations, taking the step to Ubuntu, for the increased security, the ease of deployment and the constant updates as a result of numerous developers working day and night around the world to improve it and enhance the overall experience. Linux is a programmers operating system, which improve the ability to run most things from Command Line Interface. In that it also enables further customization, of each aspect of the entire operating system. Since it is based on GPL which enables any one person to help improve the interface and functionality. So each moment of every day, there is someone working on improving Ubuntu for the next Long Term Release.

The process is ongoing, so I look forward to seeing how this "Carmic Koala" evolves, not like Cadie (Google's April Fool's Joke) but instead as the next generation of a new and exciting beginning to explore this next generation. So who else is exploring this new version of Ubuntu, and what has your experience been thus far? Why not share it in the comments, or come join me at the Ubuntu 101 Friendfeed Room. Begin the discussions and share your views on Ubuntu, and Open Source as A choice and escape closed source.

Ubuntu Today - Growth And Opportunities.

To speak on this great opportunity and this great program I wanted to share with you some simple and straightforward views on how great a program Ubuntu truly is, and for that I felt this picture would be appropriate to show how well space is used and how straightforward it can be when you look graphically.

Now this is a great tool that can be easily be found by going to Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer that gives you a birds eye view of what directories are using the most space, as well as giving you a way to look thoroughly at the design and format of the drive by clicking through each directory to know what is needed and what is not needed as well as what uses the most space.

The beauty of this tool, is in it's simplicity for drive, analysis using Jaunty v9.04 the most recent revision of the Ubuntu Operating System which can be found through the Ubuntu Downloads, where you just need to pick up the ISO image and burn it to a disk, giving you an opportunity to work with it easily. To even improve this further, It is also possible to just pick up an earlier revision then using the terminal command sudo update-manager -d to do a distribution upgrade. That is if you currently have an earlier version of the Ubuntu Operating system environment can more easily move up to the new and improve version that is 9.04. Of course it is depending on what version of the Operating system you currently run, but if you are already running it you know most of this by now and if not well now you do.

This article is using Jaunty as the operating system, so I would suggest either picking up the iso image and burning it to a cd or checking out WUBI which is a great alternative to a full install. Wubi gives you an opportunity to install it like most any other application in Windows, you just need to wait for the download and run the command. Wubi is now officially v9.04, so good to see progress as that is surely one thing that wubi has continued to improve upon, as every day and each hour community based developers are improving it as best they can, to build what will eventually be the better option and the means to escape the closed source world that is Windows.

In conclusion Jaunty (v9.04) has become more and more a de facto standard for those individuals who are interested in something new and different, to see how awesome Open Source Can Truly be, what are your thoughts, why not share them in the comments down below.
