Ubuntu 10.4, Lucid Lynx is already among us
April 30th
I recommend using the download via the BitTorrent network , in contrast to the direct downloads faster as more people download it in 15-20 minutes you can have it. If you try a direct download servers you are probably saturated.
You have no excuse not to download the 700MB better invested in the season includes some new features as we discuss and simply encourage you to try it, it's as easy as downloading the ISO file, burn it to CD with any program that allows PC and start the system including Ubuntu LiveCD. If you like what you see then you can make a facility shared with your Windows system with few problems. Even you have an available install Ubuntu from a Windows utility called Wubi .
Is there a version for each PC, 32bits, 64bits, for servers and even a version for netbooks (small laptops).
You're taking too long to try it!
A netbook the company?
January 25th
Set as anyone netbook laptop that is small in size, as might be less than 12 "(inches), not differentiate between netbooks and ultra-portable.
A computer of this kind is an ideal tool for business and people need to move constantly, entrepreneurs, freelancers and employees in general in many professions.
If you want to buy a netbook must ask ourselves a series of questions as necessary to make use of it:
- I really need a laptop? I go with a cell phone, blackberry or a PDA (PDA)?
- How many hours at work I can not connect the computer?
- I need internet at any time? Where will I work has a connection? There will be wireless available? I need a mobile Internet access?
- I work with the tools and programs I need?
What gives us a laptop with these characteristics? The advantages of a netbook:
- Attractive price, cheaper than a laptop-sized "normal" (around 300 €).
- Better mobility, less weight (maximum 1-2 kg), occupies less space. Easy to transport.
- We have almost all the capabilities of any conventional computer, Internet, spreadsheets, PDF documents, system environment Windows (or Linux) are compatible with any program.
- The duration of the battery can work part time (4h), and in some models almost reach the 8-10am.
Disadvantages of a netbook:
- Low power, some applications may not work or go too slow, such as application design, CAD, 3D ...
- Limited functions, but today is not a big problem not having CD-DVD when there are USB sticks and external hard drives.
- Small screen, you have to work many hours can tire the eye.
- Reduced keyboard, although this aspect has improved lately.
Some of the utilities and functions that can be found in most netbooks:
- We can use them for live performances of a product or service of our company through the screen, or even connecting to an external screen or video projector. Some models include a touch screen, are called Tablet PCs.
- Allows access to the Internet through any wireless network (wireless / wifi) that is available. You can also purchase a USB modem with a card of any mobile telecommunications company.
- We can synchronize contacts, calendar and media files with other devices via Bluetooth adapters.
I hope this article will be more clear about what you can and what you can do with a mini-laptop.
