Dell Ubuntu=DellUbuntu…

The scaling of the pinguino continues at the market so-called “consumer”. Dell in fact proposes an ulterior range of computers equipped with Ubuntu Hardy Heron; to the state it puts into effect them single a two notebook and PC desktop, but the offer will be widened in the successive months. Up to here nothing of strange, however Dell still succeeds to astonish to us inserting a graphical card Ati between the options for the first time previously on hand, and that is Intel on board with open-source driver stack 2D, 3D and acceleration video, and the NVIDIA with NVIDIA's binary-only driver; effectively Ati lacked to the great dance “DellUbuntu” (expression from me same coined witness). dellubuntu.jpg

Ubuntu 8,04 will be accommodated on notebook the XPS M1330N and Inspiron 1525N and on desktop the Inspiron 530N in the United States, in France, Germany, Spain, Canada, United Kingdom and in many countries of the Latin America like Mexico and Columbia.
In Italy we are smaller sons of a God…

EeePc in arrival?

Between some day it is my birthday and, waiting for the auguries, creed of successful being to discover my beautiful one “gift”. And that “gift”, since, if the indications are translate in tests, draft of a fiammante Asus EEEPC 900, “piccolino” I will now call thus it in then.  eeepc900.jpg Therefore waiting for this jewel I have begun “to fantasticare” I know, it I seem a child waiting for its toy but, the gadgets technological they make this effect me, I cannot makes nothing, I said us I have begun “to fantasticare” on its configuration, on which distro installing to the place of the “little thrilling one” (I have seen some screencast) Xandros, and on the tool to add. For distro the task to me to be oriented for the Ubuntu Netbook Remix of which I have already mailed previously and that own today is reached the final release with the version releasable standard 1,0 under form of iso on the eeebuntu.org site; it seems must be available beginning from the 21/07. On the tool instead the situation it is tantino a more complex; in fact, if initially the utilities appeared on the EeeUser forums they were in limited measure now is possible to choose on a great amount of software that improves the performances sure of “piccolino” it allows and us to work with more efficiency.
Obviously, stantela premise, I still do not have them heads and of it I do not know the usefullness on Ubuntu Netbook Remix, therefore my speech is pure theoretical, indeed I ask news someone with more experience. However we see of it some:

TweakEEE is a tool that it incorporates a series of applications on “piccolino”, to es. the last version, Beta 0,4 adds Digikam, EMEditor, Google Earth w/fix, SuperTux, GnoCH, Firefox 3 Beta 5, EEEControl, GPRS Config Utility, MS Core Fonts, basKet, Gweled.
It comes thus distributed under form of package .deb from being able to install it with a simple one I sudo dpkg - the tweakeee_0.4-0.i386.deb. Situated Sul of reference other information on this interesting tool. To try!

3eGPRS This utility concurs with “piccolino” (with a bluetooth adapter since it is not equipped any of default) establishing a logon to Internet of type GPRS with I telephone cellular, operation that, nomalmente, necesita of an participation from commando line.

pimpmyeee are a script bash that it allows, to es., to qualify the Full desktop, to add repo for software of third parts, to qualify codec ulterirori, to install script in order to ignite or to thus extinguish the webcam and via. It has the air of being extremely interesting.

Obviously us of others will be many and there will be pleasing if you signaled me the more interesting so as to at best prepare me for the arrival of “piccolino”, hoping not to have taken “cantonata”. To days the sentence…
