New flavours of Ubuntu being developed in Ireland
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently I popped down to the BT Young
| Scientist Exhibition here in Dublin. This is
| for secondary school students/ High school
| junior students in Ireland. Itâs pretty
| amazing to see the enthusiasm they show for
| science and technology at an early age.
|
| The process starts months ago, students
| submit a one page proposal on a topic, if
| itâs accepted they research and come up with
| the results, prototype or something to show
| from it all. It also gives Industries who are
| based over here to come and show case their
| projects and encourage students into those
| areas. IBM, Google, Analog Devices to name a
| few all took part and all have offices here
| in Ireland.

ÃberStudent - Ubuntu version for Students and Researchers
,----[ Quote ]
| ÃberStudent is a free, Ubuntu-based operating
| system for higher education and emerging-
| generation high school students, those who
| wish to learn to excel at the tasks and
| habits of top students and researchers, and
| anyone who can benefit from easy-to-use yet
| powerful computing. Like Ubuntu, ÃberStudent
| is a complete operating system with programs
| for everyday computing tasks, but comes with
| an additional core of expertly configured
| programs, and many user-friendly extras,
| designed to increase your academic success.
| Itâs Software Explorer enables you to easily
| extend ÃberStudent still further for specific
| academic disciplines, and it doesnât stop
| there. Music and movie lovers, gamers,
| budding graphic designers, and those who
| insist on an ascetically eye-popping user
| interface will also be very pleased.

SuperOS: Like Ubuntu But Easier
,----[ Quote ]
| One problem I run into a lot when recommending
| Ubuntu to complete Linux newbies is they aren't
| used to installing codecs or using the terminal
| when they want to play DVDs, MP3s and other
| file types. Explaining the legal situation is
| something I make a point of doing but some
| people "just want it to work". This is what has
| led me to Super Ubuntu or SuperOS as it's now
| called. Once the recently released SuperOS 9.10
| was adequately seeded I downloaded this
| enhanced version of Ubuntu and took it for a
| spin.
