The good thing about this app is, it’s OpenSource and also we’ll get new comments notifications (well if we activate them).

Here is the official video:

And here is the official release notes.

In these 30 themes, 15 are for KDE and 15 for Gnome. As a gnome user, I will list only those I really liked a lot. There are only 5 themes that really hit me when I saw them !

Magic Book

Somatic

Wooden

Sunset

Leaf

If you are really in a hurry, you can already do an update, but be aware that it will take quite some time. I did the upgrade yesterday evening (GMT+2) and it took me more than 5 hours to download all packages.

I must say that there is no visible *big* change, appart from tabs in nautilus.

You will also notice in this screenshot the eject icon on removable devices, really usefull and time saving.

One of the best thing to me is better support for my DVB-T Tuner and integrated webcam. This means I don’t need to install additional drivers for my DVB Tuner and it won’t break my webcam.

Here is a short list of changes for this version:

• Kernel 2.6.27
• Xorg 7.4
• Samba 3.2 with ipv6 support and secure transfer
• Network Manager 0.7 – works much better than previously
• Firefox 3.0.3
• Gnome 2.24
• Improved Shutdown screen

One of the things I don’t like is it doesn’t integrate OpenOffice3.0.

Stay tuned as I will give you more feedback when I’ll have tested it more throughoutly.

They said that this move will will allow to simplify their system administration.

Wikimedia has around 400 servers running and this is a major move for Ubuntu and will give the distribution the credibility it needs in large scale environments.

Indeed, Wikimedia server manage more than 10 Billion pageviews a month and peeks can see 50 000 hits per seconds.

Wikimedia is a rapidly growing technical environment as during their first 18 month they got for 15 server to 200.

Canonical prooves again the popularity and stability of their distribution, after releasing the first server edition in 2005.

Note that the new edition of Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex) will be released at the end of October.

First, I’m re-writing the DNA-Framework, I don’t know yet what will come out of it, probably something big I’m not sure yet if it will be released as OpenSource framework or not. I’ll decide that when version 1.0 will be ready.

And the other thing is I’m completly rewriting ZdStats with better spam detection and much more realistic filters. Even though I know that my filters are more permissive than google’s, my stats are also much more realistic. Why is that ? Simply because I don’t rely on javascript only, therefore I also count users that come to your website with javascript disabled (or google filtered)

Personalized products are also available and will allow you to sell products with specific options.

Magento 1.1 features a new Webservices API that enables you to integrate with third parts applications.

I’m happy to see that magento is very well accepted because the software has already been downloaded more than 400.000 times and they recently received the Best New Open Source project award as the 2008 SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards

It’s been awaited for so long, but even though it’s been used by many people to play games or run their Windows Apps under GNU/Linux (such as Photoshop, MS Office, etc…). But for the past monthes, the project had accelerated their development thanks to the Google Summer Of Code.

Of course, there is a long way to perfect compatibility, but none the less, we can keep this day as a great day for us Linux users because it’s Wine that gives us the chance to use applications for the other world

As long as editors like Adobe will refuse to publish their software under GNU/Linux, we will have to use Wine.

Gamers will be happy with this release because most of the bugfixes are games related.

Anyway, let’s wish all the best to this great project and of course, to GNU/Linux
