Introducing Lernid
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week, while at the Ubuntu Developer
| Summit in Dallas I mentioned in one of the
| roundtables about how wicked-cool it would be
| to have a desktop client for Ubuntu Open Week,
| Ubuntu Developer Week and other online tuition
| events that we run.
|
| One of the challenges we face every time we
| run these events is helping new community
| members figure out how IRC works. Ideally this
| should be as simple as running a program,
| selecting an event and connecting.

14 XSplash Themes For Ubuntu Karmic Koala
http://www.online-blogger.net/2009/12/01/14-xsplash-themes-for-ubuntu-karmic-koala/
Ubuntu 9.10
,----[ Quote ]
| I have an old Mac Mini that I wasnât using, so
| being bored I decided to install Ubuntu on it.
| Ubuntu is a well know distribution (distro) of
| Linux. The latest distribution is 9.10 also
| known as Karmic Koala, (all Ubuntu
| distribution are named after animals.). The
| first thing I did was I downloaded the latest
| distribution of Ubuntu as an ISO. An ISO is
| simply a single image of all files needed to
| install an application, in this case Ubuntu. I
| then burned the ISO to a CD using the burn
| option available in Disk Utility on the Mac. I
| did burn it at a lower speed then normal,
| which is recommended. I then placed the CD in
| the Macmini and restarted it, while holding
| down the C key when the chime rang. The first
| screen that came up asked me if I wanted to
| run Ubuntu without installing, install Ubuntu,
| check disk for error, or start from first hard
| disk. I decided that I wanted to do a full
| install, so I made that choice. (If you make
| that choice remember that you are erasing all
| data on the partition that you install it on.)
| The next choice I had was whether I wanted to
| use the full hard drive or a partition. I
| chose to use the full hard drive, hit the
| continue button and the installation ran
| without any problem. Once the installation is
| finished I set up my login name and password.
| I removed the CD and restarted the computer,
| Ubuntu started up without any problem.

Five Years of Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| If there is any one word that could sum up
| Ubuntu, it would be Community. Even the
| definition of the word "Ubuntu" makes
| reference to community, and how the betterment
| of the individual and community are
| interconnected. Nearly everyone I've met
| through Ubuntu in the last five years cites
| the community as the single major reason for
| their use. In many aspects, Ubuntu is
| technically equal to its competitors, but
| nowhere else will you find the same level of
| community support. Nowhere else will you find
| the same level of friendship and positive
| atmosphere.

Could Ubuntu get enterprises to finally embrace the cloud?
,----[ Quote ]
| The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) allows you
| to build your own private cloud on existing
| hardware platforms that already run (or can
| run) Ubuntu Server, which is pretty much most
| of the Intel-based servers you have on hand.
| UEC is really just an implantation of the
| Eucalyptus cloud computing architecture, which
| is interface-level compatible with
| Amazon.com's cloud. This means that most who
| understand and deal with AWS will find UEC to
| be an on-premise extension of that technology,
| generally speaking.
