May 11th
Canonical of Ubuntu fame, has just released their own lightweight OS called Ubuntu Light which seems to have two main focuses. One is developing a lightweight netbook interface (Unity) and the other is the Instant On OS itself aimed at netbooks and desktops.
Ubuntu Light Features
- Boots into the web in 7 seconds – on a Dell Mini 10v
- Vertical app launcher spaces vertical space
- App launcher will be optimized for touch – finger friendly
- Global panel which integrates app window icons
- Will be optimized for hardware to boot as fast as possible
- Netbook interface (Unity) still being developed – will make it into the next Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10
A download is available right now for OEMs and for you individuals to test out. (it’ll run on top of Ubuntu 10.04)
HowTo: "Qualcomm 3G ICON 210" and Ubuntu
Nov 5th
Although generally speaking I’m all pro linux and use it whereever possible – and consider it the best OS for networking encountered by me so far – I was not able to make my internal 3G modem work properly with Ubuntu yet. Of course I managed to have it load the right device drivers and I’m able to establish connections and to surf the internet – but unlike windows, ubuntu refuses to crank up the speed to HSDPA, and despite my patching (and recompiling) of the “usbserial.ko” and “sierra.ko” driver modules I was only able to get a downlink speed of 800KBit/sec at most. The same modem with WindowsXP though achieved between 2.2 and 2.8 MBit/s at the same daytime, causing me quite some frustration (I had bought the modem card because it was claimed as being fully compatible with linux, even with linux drivers supplied by manufacturer, mind you) and I started using WinXP more frequently again due to this issue.
