GNOME 3 – Best Ever Ubuntu Linux Desktop Environment for Easy Computing
Wow, I’m dazed with geek-pleasure right now. I just saw the latest screenshots of GNOME 3 Linux Desktop emailed by my brother-in-law in Europe. He is a certified linuxhead and he was the first one to inform me that GNOME 3 is now finally available for download. He raved and showed me his new GNOME 3-draped Ubuntu 10.4 laptop and I can only say – Wow, this new Gnome 3 update looks like an iPad 2 iOS screen! I might as well post my Gnome 3 review after testing this new Linux desktop environment, I said to myself so here it is (plus new features).

Your eyes isn't fooling you, this is not an iPad or Android tablet, it is a Linux laptop screenshot with GNOME 3!

PCLinuxOS: The Linux Distro With a Look and Feel of Windows
We are currently downloading the PCLinuxOS 2009.1 release and from the looks of it, this Linux distro is looking more and more like Windows. We are not sure how will this Linux distro compare with Linux Ubuntu 9.04 (the latest release of Ubuntu). We love Linux but we cannot live without Windows (sigh). Most of our important programs are Windows-based. Even the games we play run exclusively under Windows. And this is the problem why cannot fully migrate Linux. Our hard drives are always Dual OS and partitioning is sometimes a problem.

Linux Ubuntu 9.04 Release is Underway
Linux Ubuntu’s latest stable release is Ubuntu 8.10 and we’ve been using this since its first day of release. Now, Linux Ubuntu get an update and its version 9.04 is about to be seen a few days from now.

But we love Linux and we will keep on supporting the opensource community in any way we can.
Linux Mint 6 Felicia XFCE CE RC1: New Linux Release
Linux Mint 6 Felicia: I haven’t fully tested yet Linux Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition and I almost forgot about Linux Mint 6 (which was emailed by a friend two months ago). Now, here comes the latest udpate to Linux Mint 6 also known as “Felicia” XFCE CE RC1. I have once looked into the features and specs of Linux Mint 5 (Elyssa) and that Linux distro simply rocks. It was fast-loading and has lots of cool green wallpapers and themes. Green is relaxing to the eyes, FYI.
Linux Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition Features
After blogging the Latest Linux Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition Features and Release Date, I am posting here the features of the latest Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition which allegedly enhances Java, virtualization and system management capabilities. Sounds cool, huh?
Ok, without further ado, here are the great features of the Ubuntu 8.10 server edition:
Virtualisation
Building on the Just Enough Operating System (JeOS) version launched last year, Ubuntu 8.10 ships with a Virtual Machine builder. It allows complete Virtual Machines to be built from the command line in less than five minutes. Developers and system administrators can script the creation of custom virtual images. Vm-builder provides a key component to a dynamic provisioning process for businesses using virtualisation environments.
Latest Linux Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition Features and Release Date
I have been using Linux Ubuntu 7.04 for a few months now and I really love the features of the Ubuntu desktop version. I’ve been waiting eagerly for the release of Linux Ubuntu 8.10 which will be released on October 30 this year. I am excited to see the features of the latest Linux Ubuntu 8.10 which are truly promising.
The reason why I use Linux Ubuntu as my second operating system is simple – to have a second OS that will serve me well when Windows XP or Windows Vista crashes (of course we have experienced this at least once I’m sure).
