[ Linux Distributions ]

[ValkyrieLenneth]

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution that starts with the breadth of Debian and adds regular releases (every six months), a clear focus on the user and usability (it should "Just Work", TM) and a commitment to security updates with 18 months of support for every release. Ubuntu ships with the latest Gnome release as well as a selection of server and desktop software that makes for a comfortable desktop experience off a single installation CD.

Features:
* This release features GNOME 2.20. GNOME now includes mail notification in the Evolution mail client, the ability to fill in PDF forms in the Evince document viewer, improved file management, a revamped Appearance control panel applet, a revised help system, and many other enhancements.
* Online Desktop provides a desktop experience designed around online services. A preview of Online Desktop is provided via BigBoard, which is a optional sidebar in GNOME.
* KDE 3.5.8 is available in the KDE Live image as well as the regular DVD. The KDE 4 (Beta) Development Environment is available in the repository.
* Xfce 4.4.1 is available as part of this release.
* NetworkManager 0.7 provides improved wireless network management (javascript:void(0)) support. It includes support for multiple devices and provides the capability of system-wide configuration, among many other enhancements.
* PulseAudio is now installed and enabled by default. PulseAudio is an advanced (javascript:void(0)) sound server compatible with nearly all existing Linux sound systems. PulseAudio allows for hot-switching audio outputs, individual volume controls for each audio stream, networked audio, and more.
* CodecBuddy is now included, and promotes free, superior quality, open formats to end users trying to play multimedia content under patent encumbered or proprietary formats.
* Compiz Fusion, the compositing window manager that re-merges Compiz and Beryl, is installed by default. To enable Compiz Fusion in GNOME, use the System/ Preferences/ Desktop Effects tool. Ongoing, long term Xorg work continues to enable Compiz by default.
* The completely free and open source Java environment called IcedTea is installed by default. IcedTea is derived from OpenJDK, includes a browser plugin based on GCJ, and is available for both x86 and x86_64 architectures. GCJ is still the default on PPC architecture.
* OpenOffice.org 2.3, with many new features, is available as part of Fedora 8.
* Bluetooth devices and tools now have better graphical and system integration.
* Laptop users benefit from the "quirks" feature in HAL, including better suspend/resume and multimedia keyboard support.
* There is now improved power management thanks to both a tickless kernel in x86 and x86_64 architectures, and a reduction in unnecessary processor wakeups via powertop.
* This release of Fedora has a new look and feel, called Infinity, from the Fedora Art team.
* Nodoka, a fresh new GNOME theme created specially for Fedora, is available in this release.
* A new online browser home page, http://start.fedoraproject.org, appears in this release.
* Fedora continues to improve its many proactive security features, and FORTIFY_SOURCE has now been enhanced to cover C++ in addition to C, which prevents many security exploits.
* A brand (javascript:void(0)) new graphical firewall configuration tool, system-config-firewall, replaces system-config-securitylevel.
* This release offers Kiosk (javascript:void(0)) functionality via SELinux, among many new enhancements and security policy changes.
* The glibc package in Fedora 8 now has support for passwords using SHA256 and SHA512 hashing. Before only DES and MD5 were available. The tools to create passwords have not been extended yet, but if such passwords are created in others ways, glibc will recognize and honor them.
* Secure remote management capability is now provided for Xen, KVM, and QEMU in Fedora 8 virtualization.
* Eclipse 3.3 (Europa), a new release of the acclaimed development platform, is available as part of this release.
* In this release, the performance of yum, Pirut, and Pup have been significantly improved.
* The Add/Remove Programs tool, pirut, introduces a new graphical interface for managing software repositories. Use Edit → Repositories to enable/disable any of the installed software repositories.
* Live installations are faster and require a smaller root filesystem. The file system layout has also changed somewhat. System files for the Live images are now under LiveOS/, and a new README file has been provided as a short introduction to the live image.
* Transifex provides a web-based translation interface to allow users to contribute translation work for Fedora hosted projects as well as being able to provide translations to upstream directly to any upstream project.
* Integration of unique build IDs into Fedora's software building infrastructure now provides enhanced debugging capabilities and core dumps.
* Fedora now offers easier rebranding (javascript:void(0)) of Fedora derivatives via a generic-logos software package. Changes in Fedora's mirror structure also make creation of derivatives easier.
* The pam_console module usage has been removed in favor of access control via HAL, which modernizes the desktop.
* Fedora 8 features a 2.6.23 based kernel.

Seamlessly Run Linux Apps on Your Windows Desktop (http://lifehacker.com/358208/seamlessly-run-linux-apps-on-your-windows-desktop)

http://www.lifehacker.com/assets/resources/2008/02/andlinux-head.png
There's no doubt that Linux—particularly Ubuntu—is a killer operating system full of excellent apps, but for about a million reasons, you're stuck running Windows as your main operating system. We understand, these things happen. But what about all those killer Linux apps you've left behind when you decided to live the Windows life? Sure you could dual-boot or run Linux in the confines of a virtual machine window, but wouldn't it be great if you could run those apps side-by-side with your Windows apps—like Linux users can do with WINE or OS X can do with Parallels or VMWare? You can, and today I'll show you how to seamlessly run your favorite Linux applications directly in Windows with a free software called andLinux.

What Is andLinux?
andLinux is actually a full installation of Ubuntu Linux running on top of your Windows operating system. Similar to how you can run coherence mode in Parallels (http://lifehacker.com/software/parallels/hack-attack-how-to-run-windows-and-mac-apps-sidebyside-with-parallels-221002.php) or unity mode in VMWare Fusion, andLinux takes your Linux apps out of the virtual machine and creates a seamless interface in which they co-mingle with all your Windows apps. Kinky, huh? To get you salivating, I've put together a gallery of my Windows desktop full of Windows and Linux apps giving each other sideways glances and touching in unnatural ways.

http://lifehacker.com/assets/images/gallery/17/2008/02/smallish_2280109943_4f16d5ddb2_o.png Konqueror vs. Explorer (http://lifehacker.com/photogallery/andLinux/1000770579)
http://lifehacker.com/assets/images/gallery/17/2008/02/smallish_2280900366_bd90b384be_o.png Synaptic (Linux), Add or Remove Programs (Windows) (http://lifehacker.com/photogallery/andLinux/1000770555)
http://lifehacker.com/assets/images/gallery/17/2008/02/smallish_2280900284_65a2ae9a20_o.png IE, Linux Firefox, and Konqueror (http://lifehacker.com/photogallery/andLinux/1000770563)
http://lifehacker.com/assets/images/gallery/17/2008/02/smallish_2280109429_b3020f99b9_o.png Akregator Newsreader, Windows Explorer, and Konsole (http://lifehacker.com/photogallery/andLinux/1000770587)

andLinux works with Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista (32-bit only), so if you're running one of those versions of Windows, head over to the andLinux download page (http://www.andlinux.org/downloads.php) and find a mirror to download the installer or just grab the torrent here (http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrents) (the torrent download was really fast). andLinux comes in two flavors: the minimal XFCE version (143MB) and the full KDE version (665MB); for this guide, I'll be using the full KDE version.
Run Applications with and Linux

http://www.lifehacker.com/assets/resources/2008/02/startandlinux.pngIf you didn't set andLinux to start automatically you'll need to start andLinux with the helper app in the screenshot before you do anything with it. After it's started, you can now launch any of the pre-installed applications you want. You can do this in a number of ways, but I'll highlight a couple. http://www.lifehacker.com/assets/resources/2008/02/kde-start-menu.pngFirst, you'll notice that you've got a new system tray app running; it's a little KDE Start Menu, giving you access to several default KDE apps, from Konqueror (a file manager, web browser, et al) to Synaptic (a package manager from which you'll install new apps). I'm highlighting these two in particular because you can browse and launch more apps from Konqueror and you can install new apps from Synaptic.
http://www.lifehacker.com/assets/resources/2008/02/applications-in-konqueror.png
First, if you launch Konqueror and go to the Applications tab, you can browse some of your installed Linux applications by category, from Entertainment and Games to Internet and Multimedia. If this is your first time playing with Linux, I'd recommend trying out a few different apps to get a feel for what's available.
