Rolling Release Ubuntu is something a lot of people are talking about. Not so long ago it was announced that Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin will be an LTS release with support extended to five years for Desktop edition. Desktop edition was usually supported only for three years. Community has stirred again and again we have people crying out for a rolling release distribution. Something very well-known among Gentoo and Arch Linux users. Read on if you’d like to know why a rolling release would be a bad, bad idea. In fact it would be terrible idea.
Slightly modified, a little bit improved and a little less 2.0′ed look and feel for TWM. Rejoice with us, we got rid of the old boxed look and added more seamlessness. Our corners are again what they should be, sharp! ;) We are still a little bit blue, but more on the dark side. Ads are gone for the time being, we didn’t test that on our test server and we will be testing it pretty soon here. Main font was also changed. We are using Ubuntu font family (thanks to Google) which is still in development and might change in the future. Beside all that, categories will be reduced in number and generalized a little.
GNU? Linux? Ubuntu? GNU/Linux? Ubuntu/GNU/Linux? WTF?!?! The endless debate about what is an operating system, what defines it and how it should be named has reached limits of my patience. What are the relations between GNU, Linux and various Linux distributions, Ubuntu in this particular case? Read on if you wish to know more about the whole problem and the whole debate and why I think that Ubuntu is an operating system, Linux is a kernel and GNU/Linux is something that should probably be credited but it is utterly unimportant to most of the users. I will explain what is GNU, what is Linux and what is Ubuntu and why all the good guys at Free Software Foundation are wrong.
We will let the video to speak for itself. This is a small amount of material that we recorded on E3 2010. Next time we will be more organized, more prepared and more ready! We promise.
