Descent|OS 3.0


Brian Manderville has announced the release of Descent|OS 3.0, an Ubuntu-based distribution featuring the MATE (a fork of GNOME 2) desktop environment: "I am pleased to announce that Descent|OS 3 is officially available for download. It is 32-bit only for now, but the PAE kernel is supported after install. In terms of cosmetics, Qt now looks right, and all the packages have been updated. The MATE desktop has been great to work with, and it is stable. It uses the 3.2 series kernel, and is based on Ubuntu 12.04. All the packages have been updated since the release candidate, and it behaves just the way I want it to. I have included a Beginner's Guide for new people to learn how to use Synaptic and the custom keyboard shortcuts." Here is the brief release announcement. Download: Descent-OS3.0-i386.iso (1,061MB).

Zenwalk Linux 7.2 RC5


Jean-Philippe Guillemin has announced the availability of the fifth release candidate for Zenwalk Linux 7.2, a Slackware-based desktop distribution: "Zenwalk Linux 7.2 RC5 is ready for testing. Lately we've been looking towards a better Slackware compatibility, which will make it easy to switch to 64-bit in a near future using the Slackware64 package base. In fact Pat has updated GTK+ 2 and many other packages, added GTK+ 3, making it possible to replace many Zenwalk packages with very little adaptation. The work may not be finished, it's up to you to find any remaining bugs. Main changes: Linux kernel 3.4.8 with BFS scheduler; Xfce 4.10, LibreOffice 3.5, GTK+ 2.24.10 and 3.4.4, Thunderbird 14, GIMP 2.8, Firefox 14.0.1; Netpkg 4.9.1 with multi-mirror support." Here is the brief release announcement. Download: zenwalk-7.2RC5.iso (654MB, MD5).

How About an Official Twitter Client for Linux?



A few hours ago, on August 28th, The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, proudly announced that Inktank, Servergy and Twitter joined the organization.

Putting Inktank and Servergy aside, some of you already knew that Twitter was about to join The Linux Foundation on Tuesday, thanks to the media coverage from the past week.

So, today we are proud to announce that it's official, though Twitter’s Chris Aniszczyk is yet to deliver a keynote entitled "The OSS Behind a Tweet." at LinuxCon on Thursday, August 30th at 9:55 A.M..

"Linux and its ability to be heavily tweaked is fundamental to our technology infrastructure. [...] By joining The Linux Foundation we can support an organization that is important to us and collaborate with a community that is advancing Linux as fast as we are improving Twitter." said Chris Aniszczyk, Manager of Open Source, Twitter.

OK, reading the above makes me wanna cry. Really! Why? Because I don't have a reliable Twitter client on my Linux-powered personal computer.

Yes, I know that there are a lot of wannabe Twitter clients out there (Gwibber, Turpial, Hotot, Pidgin, etc.), but none does the job right. While the dedicated clients have lots of issues, starting with real time notifications and finishing with the flaws in their design, the others are multi-protocol clients that treat Twitter like an uninvited guest.

Looks like Twitter is using Linux on tens of thousands of machines to successfully deliver a 99.9% uptime to over 140 million active users, which spit over 400 million tweets per day.

Man, I really love Twitter, but I wonder how many of these "140 million active users" are using Linux as their main operating system and struggle hard every day to read/write tweets with a bunch of crippled apps, like me.

Yes, I'm whining, right here, right now! I don't want TweetDeck back (never really liked it anyway), all I want is a goddamn simple and easy to use Twitter client that just works. Just like the one for Mac!




If Twitter supports and loves Linux so much, like they say, then how about an official Twitter client for Linux, Twitter? Thank you!

Keyboard Desktop PC Features Ubuntu OS


What will they came up with next? That's the first question you can think of when you're looking at a keyboard PC with Ubuntu on it. But then, if you really ponder the gadget, it's not really a bad idea.

This particular model, U310 Keyboard PC, is built by a company called Diablotek, operating since 2003. It's not a big company, and they don't have amazing products, but this keyboard is really something.

U310 Keyboard PC features an Intel Atom D525 1.8GHz (Dual core) processor, 2GB DDR memory, 4 USB ports, one Line out, one VGA port, one RJ45 port, two speakers, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, and is powered by a 19V 2A adaptor (no battery).

The most surprising fact about it is that it features Ubuntu. It's unclear which version is preloaded, but the fact that they've chosen a Linux distribution is really interesting.

Details about the pricing and product can be found on the official website.
