New Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)

This is the way I like with Ubuntu. Its a productive distro and the main reason is its user friendly Linux ever (Just my opinion). Last day, I just send email to all my staff. Oh God, they are reply my email with the good comments, even they ask me the CD (hahahaha...become supplier for my office).

Below is the good thing about latest Ubuntu 8.04:

1. The desktop CD allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later.

2. You will need at least 384MB of RAM to install from this CD.

3. Coming on 2 type: Desktop and Server

4. Holy shits...its can install on windows. See picture below. This is the screen shot when you put your CD on your CD drive.















5. New desktop appearance. (Nice desktop graphic)













Hopefully the Ubuntu can be the best distro/Linux flavor on the future.

Great stuff from Amazon.com for Ubuntu fan

How to: Install IE4Linux on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)

Hi guy!, I just post this matter after I have asking from my friend, how to install "Internet Explorer " on Linux. Sometime, web base application didn't matching the code with others browser. Thats why my friend ask me to do that. I suggest him to use IE4Linux. This is the way I install the IE4Linux on Ubuntu 7.10(Gutsy Gibbon)

1. Make sure you login your Ubuntu Linux with normal user. Don't login as root. Sometime IE4Linux won't come out or launching when you login as root after install.

2. Open your terminal

3. Open /etc/apt/sources.list with command. For this case I use gedit. Please use your favorite editor for easy editing. For example Vi editor, Nano editor etc.

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

4. Uncomment (or add) following lines:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy universe

5. Add this line:

deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt gutsy main

6. Close gedit. Update and install wine and cabextract:

wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine cabextract

7. Download IEs 4 Linux and install

wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
cd ies4linux-*
./ies4linux

How to : Play a real media file

Hi, to play a real media file you need this component. I have tested it on Ubuntu 7.10 before. This is the easy way I do it:

1. Install the Kaffeine player. To install just go to 'Synaptic Package Manager' and search for it. Then, 'Mark for Installation' to install the Kaffeine.

2. You need download the "essential codecs package" from MPlayer download page: http://www.mplayerhq.hu

3. Make directory name "win32" in the /usr/lib with your terminal. Please doing this section with root privilage. Its become /usr/lib/win32 .

4. Extract the "essential codecs package" that you have download before and copy all the contents to /usr/lib/win32 .

5. Open Kaffeine player. For the 1st time the kaffeine can't play the real media. This is because the codec is not define properly. What you can do is, just go to settings --> xine engine --> parameters --> decoder and type /usr/lib/win32 under the external Real Media codecs path. Now you can enjoy watching your real media file. Thats all.

Tomboy: The easiest Note-taking Program (Ubuntu 7.10)

Relatively new application that has found its way into recent versions of almost all Linux distributions is Tomboy. It is in cross-indexing tool and a quick publisher all rolled into one. Tomboy is also very addictive and easy to use, and does away with the hassle of naming files and remembering the directory paths. It is an evolving application and the latest release is still at version 0.6.

To start:
1. Go to Application --> Accessories --> Tomboy Notes, which lunched Tomboy as an applet on your panel. Once lunched it remains active and you can access your note quickly from the applet icon till you log out or quit the applet.

2. To give automatic lunched Tomboy every time you boot the system; you can use this guide (for gnome):
right-clicking on an empty space on the panel and selecting the 'Add to Panel' option. Once you have 'Add to Panel' window up, select the Tomboy Notes application and click the 'Add' button to add it in your panel.

Many feature Tomboy can do. For more infomation about Tomboy please visit http://www.gnome.org/projects/tomboy/
