Ubuntu

Finding a quick solution for your problems in any distribution is the main reason to make you rely on it. Therefore, the major distributions have many ways to provide support to their users. Among them, IRC support provides a way to communicate quickly and more interactively with users.

In this article, I will make a comparison between the popular linux distributions in IRC support. I am not going to talk about how many questions have been answered, or how helpful the answers are; instead, I will focus in two things: how many nicknames each time are in the channel and the channel activity.

Linux is famous for being 'open source' in that the source code for Linux plus all the applications is normally available for those who want to view or modify it.

However, not all Linux programs are Open Source. Some are 'closed source' in that the developers who create it would like to keep how they created it a 'secret'. The argument here is that the company or developers have invested time and money in creating a program, charge for their work so why should they go releasing the code to any Tom Dick and Harry.

I have been using GNU/Linux for two years so far, and I'm using Ubuntu (GNOME). Over this period, I have tested a lot of download manager applications; unfortunately, I can't find the one that suits best for me, because what I have in mind was a program which more or less is simple, lightweight and practical. I don't want a download manager which is crowded with features nor a primitive one and certainly I don't want one that works via a command line/terminal!

So, I had been experimenting with a number of such applications, but for one reason or another I can't rely in one of them!

Nautilus is a file manager which provides a simple and integrated way to manage your files and applications, and you can use it to do the following:
    * Create folders and documents
    * Display your files and folders
    * Search and manage your files
    * Run scripts and launch applications

In this post, we will discover together the new features as well as enhancements of the new version of ubuntu, ubuntu 9.10!! We might not cover all new features, but at least it will show you  what ubuntu has to offer in this version!!
