FOUR FUNDAMENTAL DIGITAL RIGHTS


There are four freedoms that every user should have: the freedom to use the software for any purpose, the freedom to change the software to suit your needs, the freedom to share the software with your friends and neighbors, and the freedom to share the changes you make. When a program offers users all of these freedoms, we call it free software. I have found an intresting video on EmperorOfTheHighway's channel

LINUX MINT DEBIAN EDITION


Linux mint debian edition 201204 has been released. It comes in three flavours Mate, Cinnamon and XFCE . Both the MATE/Cinnamon and Xfce editions use the MDM display manager. MDM will look familiar to many people, as it brings back GDM 2.20 and all its features: Remote login, configuration tools, fast-user switching, theme-ability, language selection…etc.

 Mate 1.2

LINUX MINT DEBIAN as it sounds is built upon debian and packages are compatible with debian testing and therefore incompatible with ubuntu.Another advantage of using debian testing is the rolling nature you don't have to reinstall in every six months to hav latest packages just update your system and you have latest and greatest system though the con is your system may sometimes become unstable but you also get the fixes early. As far stability is concerned it is quite stable for home and office use

Now to user experience the default DE is Mate and as all of you know it is a fork of gnome 2 and i am very happy to see the old menu back that was available in '' Katya'' . Also the gnome 2 app have been forked and renamed. Cinnamon 1.4 is also available, in my opinion its the best DE available today its based on Gtk 3+ cinnamon looks classic and works well and have some modern enhancements. I feel this debian based release is better than their last ubuntu based release. So definately check this out consider donating to linux mints to make linux mint better and better. I hav also found an interesting video on Linux4UnMe channel

Cheers!

Kubuntu 12.04 -The step child

Kubuntu 12.04 is out. It has now KDE 4.8. It is somewhat heavier distribution it eats up your ram fairly well. The look and feel is absolutely modern and icons are very pleasant to eyes. The package manager is muon instead of usual software center and all other usual kde stuff. Stability wise not as stable as its elder brother ubuntu. Kubuntu is step child of cannonical and now its thrown out of house means cannonical will not support it anymore from now omwards Blue system will fund it along with Netruner and Linuxmint kde. I would have used it as my daily os if had been polished

UBUNTU--FANTASTICALLY BEAUTIFUL


UBUNTU 12.04 The long term support version of ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin has been released. In my opinion it is best linux i hav ever used. Its rock solid stable extremely fast and easy to use. The installation is rather easy and fast. After installation you are in the unity 5.2 interface. On dash u can search ur videos or music instantly without opening any browser The default player is Rythmbox instead of banshee If u press alt and type HUD comes out and gives search results in future traditional menu going to be replaced by hud. And u also get 5gb of ubuntu cloud services for free (ubuntu one) Here is a video from Linux4Unme channel
