Deep Ubuntu
With lots of changes here at the Los Angeles Daily News, I find myself in a good position to put Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty to work posting Web content via the Clickability publishing system and for the more mundane tasks of writing memos and reports, reading e-mail and the like. So get ready for my latest dip into the Ubuntu pool, plus some Red Hat/Fedora-based Live CDs and a little bit on Puppy 2.16 and my long-delayed review.
This is all happening because we've completely redesigned the features section changing its name from U to LA.com to both wholly shake up the content and froth up the synergy with the existing Web product of the same name. We can do this because a) we're both owned by MediaNews and we're in the same building.
Anyhow, I decided to do some of this work on my Xubuntu 7.04 system, and just to see how it works, I decided to add the Ubuntu Desktop packages. As I've said before, on my test system, Xubuntu and plain ol' Ubuntu don't perform all that differently (the test system being a Maxspeed Maxterm thin client with a long IDE cable connected to a hard drive and CD-ROM drive outside the box, 256 MB RAM, VIA C3 1 GHz processor on an ECS motherboard model EVEm).

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
