The Glory of Choice
There are so many variants of Linux to discover and each has its own particular emphasis and individual strengths. One of the more unusual ones I’ve seen is the “Christian” edition of Ubuntu, the latest version of which was released on September 4.
My curiosity got the better of me and I took a look; I had no idea what could make an operating system particularly “Christian”. I found out that it has a top notch Bible study program called “GnomeSword”, a daily Bible verse feature, and extensive parental controls for web content. If I had a child, I would definitely want to install this on their PC.
This is yet another development which indicates the flexibility of Linux; not only can it be adapted for a variety of devices, including mobile phones and games machines, it also can be tailored to suit a variety of interests and causes. Other distributions like Geexbox appeal to those who want to have full multimedia compatibility. Some distributions focus on compatibility with different languages; the Japanese distributions like Vine and Berry Linux are evidence of this. Linux is evolving outward, becoming ever more personalised, and greater choice is becoming increasingly available. Its flexibility is allowing it to be an operating system that is simultaneously for everyone and for a niche.

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. |
