Drag & Drop Gnome Application Tabs - Xchat Logs in Dialogs

Drag and Drop Gnome application tabs now a feature in Gutsy Gibbon. Have you ever wanted to rearrange the order of the applications open in your window list. Now you can! It works much the same as moving your tab order in Firefox. The second new feature has to do with Xchat, the IRC chat client. When you open a dialog that has been opened previously, you get a small summary of the previous exchange. No more using grep to access your logs to find out where you were in the conversation. http://www.geekosophical.net/?p=140

Noticias de Launchpad

Last week saw the release of Launchpad 1.1.7 with a raft of new features, including some of particular interest to the Ubuntu community:

  • Frequently Asked Questions in the Answer Tracker: answer contacts can now mark frequently asked questions and create a canonical answer that is available to anyone using the Answer Tracker. (See the quick-start guide: https://help.launchpad.net/FrequentlyAskedQuestions)

  • Teams can now set their default language: teams can become an answer contact for a specific language.
  • Larger font size: visit launchpad.net and you’ll see that we’ve increased the size of the text used on the site, making it easier to read Launchpad’s default text size.

With the release 1.1.7, a major new feature entered beta testing. Personal Package Archives (PPA) allow you to build and publish binary packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading a source package to Launchpad. Each PPA beta tester gets:

  • An APT repository of up to 1 gigabyte for material licensed with an OSI-approved licence.
  • Binaries built for x86 and AMD64 architectures.

To join the PPA beta, see the PPA quick-start guide: https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart

As ever, the Launchpad team would love to hear from you. Join them and other Launchpad users on the launchpad-users mailing list:

En La Prensa

  • "Canonical lanza administración basada en la web para Ubuntu" - Canonical, la compañia detrás de la distribución de Linux Ubuntu, anunció el 22 de Julio en la conferencia Ubuntu Live en Portland, Oregon, la disponibilidad de Landscape, un programa de administración de sistema basado en la web para los servidores y escritorios Ubuntu. http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS9110241259.html

  • Caso de Estudio: Ubuntu Linux en la Escuela K-12 - Ubuntu y el Código Abierto han estado rodando en un Escuela Secundaria de Portland. Sesenta estudiantes y cinco instructores tienen laptops con Ubuntu. Se eligió System76 como plataforma de hardware. Los requerimientos eran: una completa suite de oficina, acceso web y navegador, soporte para Google Earth y, capacidad para edición de video/sonido. A los estudiantes les encantó usar este sistema, pero algunos profesores tuvieron problemas. En resumen es que se ahorro mucho dinero y solo genero 15 problemas en nueve meses de uso. http://techiqmag.com/2007/07/22/var-case-study-ubuntu-linux-in-k-12-school/

  • Ubuntu Lanza Servicio de Actualización para Subscriptores al Soporte - Disponible para subscriptores al soporte de Canonical, Landscape provee una herramienta clave para el creciente número de negocios que quieren sacar provecho de la facilidad de uso de Ubuntu y que previamente han visto sistemas de administración o soporte como un obstáculo. Landscape fue desarrollado para ayudar a administrar, monitorear y mantener sistemas empresariales mientras que al mismo tiempo se reduce el costo general. Las características más importantes incluyen: administración de paquetes, actualizaciones del sistema, inventario del sistema, historia del sistema, y reporte de rendimiento solo por nombrar algunas. http://www.linuxelectrons.com/news/linux/10841/ubuntu-launches-update-service-support-subscribers

  • Canonical Crea un Servicio de Archivo de Paquetes Personales para Ubuntu - Canonical ha anunciado el lanzamiento beta del servicio de Archivo Paquetes Personales de Launchpad (PPA, según sus sigles en inglés), un nueva forma para que los desarrolladores construyan y publiquen paquetes de sus código, documentación, arte, temas y otras contribuciones al software libre. PPA permitirá a los grupos colaborar en juegos de paquetes , o a desarrolladores individuales a publicar sus propias versiones de software libre popular. Cada usuario obtendrá hasta un gigabyte de espacio PPA. Este espacio funcionará como un repositorio de paquetes de software estándar de Ubuntu. Por favor visita el link para conocer más acerca del servicio PPA en este artículo más detallado. http://www.linuxelectrons.com/news/application/10842/canonical-creates-personal-package-archive-service-ubuntu

  • Caridad de Singapur Usa Escritorio Edubuntu para Laboratorio de Computadoras - El Grupo Conocer Linux de Singapur (SLMG, según sus siglas en inglés) se ha unido al Club Rainbow para configurar un laboratorio de aprendizaje de computación para niños con enfermedades terminales de Singapur. Los miembros de SLMG han recolectado donaciones de hardware y luego las han restaurado ellos mismos. Edubuntu fue elegido como el sistema operativo para las computadoras. El laboratorio comprende un servidor HP el cual es la salida de red, y 10 escritorios con multimedia instalada para que los niños exploren. También se incluirá el entrenamiento para el personal y una introducción completa a Edubuntu y Linux para los niños. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-marketing-submissions/2007-July/000046.html

  • Ubuntu Apunta a IT para el Año Próximo - En los próximos meses, Canonical LTD planes enfocarse en el software para servidores para muchas de las mejoras del sistema. Landscape ayudará a los administradores IT a evaluar y administrar la condición de sus servidores. Mejorando el rendimiento de Ubuntu mientras se corre VMware también eestá en los planes. Los administradores entonces podrán correr varias instancias de Ubuntu en un ambiente virtual sobre un solo servidor. Como siempre, atraer a profesionales IT con lanzamientos empresariales regulares y previsibless, es un deber. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9027630&intsrc=news_ts_head

  • Blindness To Perceptions Of Average User Is Real Linux Handicap - After several posts in which he bashes Linux, Alexander Wolfe of Information Week, is at it again. He thinks that Linux supporters are more interested in preaching to the converted that in doing the hard work required to make the open source operating system attractive to Windows users. It's not about which OS is best, it's about what the average consumer is comfortable with. And the historic hostility of the Linux community is another drawback even though the Ubuntu community is doing a good job of keeping this behavior at bay. Because of these points, he believes Linux will remain mired in its single digit desktop market share.

  • Ubuntu Preparing Managed Services, Small Business Server for VARs - Ubuntu's parent company, Canonical, is preparing a managed service platform that will allow VARs and solution providers to remotely manage Ubuntu based small business servers. This service will be a standard way for solution providers and system integrators to easily manage and support servers either locally or remotely. The exact time frame for the release of this service platform is unknown, but should be sometime within the next year. http://techiqmag.com/2007/07/22/ubuntu-preparing-managed-services-small-business-server-for-vars/

  • Build a $250 PC That Doesn't Suck - Building a low cost basic computer that will run todays complex operating systems and software has become so hard to do that most are obsolete before they get built. But by picking easy to use off the shelf components, assembling it yourself, and using the right operating system, everyone should be able to have a system for $250 or less. This system would be capable of handling the demands of the average user for a reasonable period of time. All the hardware components were from Newegg.com. The operating system picked was Ubuntu because it offered everything needed for the average computer user at no cost. Get more information by clicking on the link. http://computershopper.com/feature/build-a-250-pc-that-doesnt-suck-200707

  • How Canonical Stays on the Light Side:A Recipe for Staying True to One's Values - The key according to Ubuntu's founder, Mark Shuttleworth, is to keep to the core values of the company. Having a backup plan doesn't hurt either. Enablement of the customer, Ubuntu users and developers seems to be the drive behind the release of the Personal Package Archives. Designed as a tool set that allows developers, whether they work at Ubuntu or not, to build and publish packages of code, documentation, artwork themes and other contributions to free software. The hope is that it will better enable developers of all stripes to easily roll out their own packages and then quickly distribute them to the Linux community. http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/interviews/6405/1/

  • Ubuntu Studio supports serious audio, adds little for video and graphics - Ubuntu Studio is aimed at the GNU/Linux audio, video and graphic enthusiast as well as the professional. Exploring this new version of Ubuntu, you will find dozens of audio editing, mixing and synthesizing programs, but that is about it. Video and graphic enthusiasts, targeted by this project, get literally nothing new. It is hoped that future releases of this version of Ubuntu will mature and grow with contributions form the community. http://www.linux.com/feature/118141

  • Ubuntu Live needs a more commercial focus - Robin 'Roblimo' Miller writes that while the Ubuntu Live Conference in Portland was a decent first effort, it was no where near as polished as Red Hat's annual meetings. As a result, it left him with a somewhat scattered feeling. He believes that in order for Ubuntu to survive, it is going to have to concentrate more on commercial and income building relationships, similar to what Red Hat has done. You can also watch a Flash Video of Canonical's Marketing Manager Gerry Carr giving his take on the 1st Ubuntu Live Conference. http://www.linux.com/feature/118199

  • Ubuntu 7.04 - Windows isn't going away anytime soon, but Ubuntu 7.04 is a refreshing Linux-based alternative to Vista. With Vista off to a slow start, and the facts that it is slow, annoying, and downright confusing. Ubuntu may be the alternative you're looking for. Is Ubuntu the right step for you? Mike Spitalieri of Laptop Magazine, answers this question and many more in his informative look at the Ubuntu Operating System. http://www.laptopmag.com/Review/Ubuntu-7-04.htm

  • The Next Great Battle - For years, Linux has been either a server platform, or the desktop of the ultra geek. The message from Portland is that Linux as a consumer product IS the next great battle. The perception of Linux being too difficult may change now that vendors are concentrating their efforts on making their products more user friendly. Ubuntu has lead the way in this area and is winning fans with it's easier Linux approach which includes the ability to boot the live CD without having to install anything. Ubuntu is also developing a new application that will be aimed at Windows users. It will allow them to launch a Ubuntu desktop over top of their Windows desktop. http://www.wired.com/software/coolapps/news/2007/07/linux_desktop

  • It's all about community at Ubuntu Live - If you weren't at the Ubuntu Live Conference in Portland, Oregon, then this article is a must read. Joe Brockmeier of linux.com covers the hotter Keynotes, How to run Ubuntu on laptops, Tutorials, and the Ubuntu Community. One of the more interesting items in this article however is the one on the future of processors. James Reinder of Intel talks about multi core processors and why they are becoming more and more necessary in todays computing world. The three determining factors are: power, the memory wall, and the Instruction Level Parallelism or ILP wall. While todays processors are dual or quad core chips containing identical cores, the future will have CPU's with multiple cores where some of the cores are smaller and could be used for different functions. http://www.linux.com/feature/118226

  • ¿Qué Queremos Realmente de Linux? - Serdar Yegulalp de Information Week dice que su posición sobre Linux es muy diferente a la de su compañero el periodista Alexander Wolfe. Siente que el gran número de distribuciones de Linux no es algo malo, pero puede dificulatar la eleción correcto para ti. Teniendo una versión de Linux que el usuario de todos los días pueda sentir cómoda y que cubra sus necesidades es una meta, pero remarcando que las distribuciones Linux como un todo no es la manera de conseguirlo. http://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2007/07/what_do_we_real.html

  • Diez Mandamientos de Ubuntu - Como orador en una presentación de Ubuntu Live, Matt Asay habló acerca del cambio en la manera que presentamos el Sistema Operativo Ubuntu. En lugar de entrar en el debate sobre las diferencias básicas entre sistemas operativos, tenemos que hablar más acerca la experiencia operativa. El cambio fue el concepto básico, y puedes ver sus ideas en las capturas y la presentación de diapositivas en el siguiente link. http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-9750516-7.html?tag=more

  • Dell Enpande sus Ofertas de PCs con Linux - Mark Shuttleworth, quien creará una versión del software Linues llamada Ubuntu, dijo que Dell está feliz con la demanda por las PCs con Linux que fueron presentados en Mayo. - http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/070726/dell_linux.html?.v=1

  • Why (almost) Everyone Should Try Ubuntu - Rober Strohmeyer, at Maximum PC, provides two categories of reasons for choosing Ubuntu: immediate practicality and long-term viability. Ubuntu installs quickly, recognizes most hardware, hides root so users do not hurt themselves, and is now available pre-configured from vendors. With an established set of developers, growing number of supporting vendors, and a massive base of users, Ubuntu will be here for a long time.

  • Shuttleworth says: Ubuntu Is Enterprise Friendly - Mark Shuttleworth's keynote at the Ubuntu Live Conference centered on the fact that the Ubuntu server is capable of bringing the same values of its desktop version to the server market -- ease of use, performance and compatibility. With Linux already driving the enterprise market through thin clients and dedicated systems, Ubuntu needs to maintain its ability to preform well as a virtual machine. Canonical will therefore be putting more resources behind Landscape, a web-based systems management client for small to medium businesses. In his conclusion, Shuttleworth called for the Linux community to hold discussions on setting a predictable release schedule for major distributions to ease collaboration among kernel developers and afford better stability and support for software developers working on the platform. http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/07/shuttleworth-ub.html

  • Ubuntu Must Play To Its Strengths To Beat Microsoft - Stephen O'grady said in his keynote address at the Ubuntu Live Conference that he wants to help solve Ubuntu's biggest problem: Microsoft. Playing to Ubuntu's strengths is what will help free software to succeed on the desktop. Two of Ubuntu's key strengths are apt-get for ease of package maintenance, and Ubuntu's strong community environment. Things MS has ignored to date. http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/07/ubuntu-must-pla.html

  • Linus Torvalds announces Linux 2.6.23-rc1 - On time and two weeks after 2.6.22 and with a ton of revisions.

  • What's New on Ubuntu 7.10 - At the Ubuntu Live Conference in Portland, Matt Zimmerman of Canonical gave the attendees a look at what is coming in Ubuntu's 7.10 Gusty Gibbon. Desktop features include 3D desktop right out of the box and multiple monitor configuration. If you are a laptop user, power profiling features are planned. On the server side of Gutsy, turn-key Web-based administration via the new Landscape management tool and a proactive security tool-set named App-Armor. http://blog.linuxtoday.com/blog/archives/070723-170755.html

  • New Linux computer has 1,024 Dual-Core Processors and 4000 GB of RAM - NASA's new SGI Altix system is expected to be installed in August at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing facility at the Ames Research Center. The new system will be the first supercomputer to operate 2,048 processor cores and 4TB of memory under a single copy of Linux(R) -- creating the largest Linux single system image (SSI) in the world. - http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/prnewswire/AQM07923072007-1.htm

  • A Linux Experience - Having a couple of hours to kill one day, Lionel decided to download a copy of Ubuntu's Live CD. When everything worked from the boot, he was intrigued and decided to try the dual boot option. Needing to run some priority software for his writing, he did some research and found that Virtual-Box could run everything he would need. After 45 days of testing, he found that didn't need to ever boot in to the Windows partition. Now his computer is an Ubuntu only machine and he is a full time Ubuntu user.http://www.5thwind.com/?p=12

  • Grandpa Gets a Dell with Ubuntu Linux Preinstalled - Follow along as Tyche(Grandpa) orders, receives and sets up his new Dell Inspiron 530N Desktop Computer preinstallled with Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. Tyche has been using Ubuntu for a while, and is quite capable of handling anything he needs to do on the system, so this is more of a rating on how a Dell system works out of the box with Ubuntu preinstalled. The verdict: "I'm very happy with my computer. I feel the price was reasonable, and the service was good". http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20070725085521830
