Only a few days remain before the final release of Ubuntu 9.10, the 11th stable release of the distribution that is clearly marching from strength to strength. As is always the case on release days, don’t expect the main Ubuntu server and its mirrors to function at lightning speeds, at least until the initial demand is satisfied. Fortunately, there will likely be alternatives to watching the snail-like progress of the download indicator as early Ubuntu reviews, analyses, commentaries and interviews will surely fill many technical web sites, big and small. If you are eager to start reading on “Karmic Koala”, the page carrying the official release notes is an excellent starting point. But for those who are eagerly awaiting the freshly pressed Ubuntu CDs to arrive in their mail boxes, there is some bad news – for the first time in its history, Canonical has decided to limit the free media to certain categories of users, such as official user groups, Ubuntu contributors or people who are unlikely to have access to other forms of obtaining the distribution: “We will continue to supply CDs to LoCo teams and Ubuntu members. And we hope to make CDs available to everyone who is just discovering Ubuntu. But we are limiting shipments to people that we think have alternative paths of getting Ubuntu.”

Opera 10.10 versi beta sudah tersedia. Di dalamnya tersedia fitur terobosan yang belum pernah ada pada browser sebelumnya, teknologi yang disebut dengan nama Opera Unite.

Opera Unite merupakan platform yang dapat mengubah komputer apapun menjadi client ataupun server, sehingga memungkinkan pemiliknya berinteraksi dan menghadirkan konten ke komputer lain secara langsung di internet.

“Memanfaatkan Opera Unite, pengguna bisa membuat galeri foto secara instan di PC miliknya, berbagi file dari komputer pribadi tanpa harus melakukan upload, ataupun mengubah browser menjadi web server secara instan”, kata Jon von Tetzchner, Chief Executive Officer Opera.

Pengguna Opera juga dapat ngobrol langsung dengan teman-temannya di MyOpera, melakukan streaming musik mereka dari mana saja dengan menggunakan browser web apapun.

“Dengan Opera Unite, kami semakin mendekati tujuan untuk mendesain ulang internet”, kata Tetzchner. “Kami antusias dengan Opera Unite dan terus mengembangkannya secara maksimal”, ucapnya.

Opera Unite adalah platform yang memperkenalkan kategori baru untuk aplikasi client-to-client. Memanfaatkan teknologi ini semudah melakukan pengkodean pada sebuah halaman Web. Hal ini menyederhanakan kompleksitas dari aplikasi web tingkat tinggi.

Untuk membuat aplikasi Opera Unite, seorang pengembang web hanya perlu mengetahui standar web yang biasa digunakan setiap hari, seperti HTML, CSS dan JavaScript. Adapun aplikasi Opera Unite dapat diakses oleh semua browser modern pada perangkat apapun.

I love Ubuntu and I am an Ubuntu user a long time ago but the next version Ubuntu 9.10 seems to focus on wallpapers and themes !! I don’t like Ubuntu’s way of development. It is just focusing on themes and ignoring important projects like PulseAudio and X.org.
In this article I will talk a little about the new features that will be in Mandriva 2010. The final version is expected to be available on the 3rd of November.
Mandriva Linux 2010 is aimed at improving the user experience for daily tasks. let’s have a look to what’s new :

1- New design for installer

To better user experience of installation, the Mandriva developers thought that installer design is quite old now and need to be refreshed to stay ahead of competition. The next screenshot shows the new design.

2- Live upgrade

Finally, Mandriva Online will be able to notify user about the  new version of the distribution and propose the system to upgrade it without using installer.

3- Moblin desktop

Mandriva 2010 will include the Moblin 2.0 environment designed for mobile desktop platforms, making Mandriva Linux the first distribution to integrate it in a free distribution.This environment has been designed for mobile desktop platforms. Netbooks are a given target but you can also use it when you want an ergonomic and simple environment for daily tasks.
Installing it is easy: install task-moblin package in rpmdrake and choose Moblin in connection manager.

4-  Guest accounts

Guest accounts, based on the xguest package, can now be established to offer safe temporary access to the system via gdm or kdm.

Choosing the right edition of Mandriva Linux

============================================

Please read below to get more information about Mandriva isos content.

Hybrid isos
===========
All 2009 Spring isos are hybrid isos. You can dump it on a USB key and use this key as an install media. Please find GUI tool to create it: mandriva-seed.sh for Linux platforms, mandriva-seed-windows.zip for Windows one.

Free edition
============
The Free edition of Mandriva Linux is so named because it is ‘free’ in both senses: it costs nothing and it contains only free and open source software, as defined by the Free Software Foundation and Open Source Initiative. It contains a fully functional distribution with a range of applications aimed at typical desktop use. It must be installed to your hard disk prior to use. This is the ideal edition of Mandriva Linux to use if you wish to evaluate a comprehensive Mandriva Linux edition, or if you wish to use only free / open source software on your system.

mandriva-linux-free-2009.1-i586.iso
mandriva-linux-free-2009.1-x86_64.iso

1 dual arch mini iso
———————
Mini iso proposes all minimum for a light environment for both 32 and 64 arch. Choice is done when starting installation.

mandriva-linux-free-2009.1-dual.iso

DVD version
————
DVD version is the most complete version of Free edition. You can choose 32 or 64 bits version depending of your architecture.

mandriva-linux-pwp-2009.1-i586.iso
mandriva-linux-pwp-2009.1-x86_64.iso

One edition
===========
The One edition of Mandriva Linux is a Live CD. A Live CD is an operating system which boots and runs directly from CD, with no installation required, and without making any permanent change to the system on which it runs. Mandriva One, however, is a hybrid Live CD, meaning it also has an installer allowing it to be installed to the system’s hard disk, should the user so desire. The small size of Mandriva One also makes it ideal for users with slow or bandwidth limited Internet connections.

You will find 6 CDs images, providing KDE or GNOME graphical environment. Then choose the right languages set following below list:
