hey, my Windows is not working, can you fix it with your Ubuntu?

That sentence still makes me smile :)

Due to the licensing problems it won’t ever be included in the default kernerl package but the FUSE adepted guys are doing the porting work:

• ZFS on FUSE blog
• news on slashdot
• news on LinuxWorld

UPDATE:
During a deep read of the LinuxWorld article I found a really interesting thing:

Samuel has already found a ZFS bug, and Correia has submitted a fix back upstream. So, the first real users to benefit from this Linux project will be those running Solaris.

Safari is going to be released on Windows, someone is wondering why Apple maybe isn’t going to release it also for Linux… thinking about the history of webkit/KHTML but… I prefer no Safari at all on Linux, the best thing is that the webkit engine keep been developed from both Apple and the KDE community together. KHTML will be better and one day will have a GTK/webkit broser for the GNOME friends.

Safari could be something like netscape, which is firefox+some things I really don’t care about.

People are claiming that Wubuntu brings Ubuntu into your browser, this is totally wrong! Wubuntu is just a web application that tries to emulate the graphic theme of Ubuntu, nothing to do with the real operating system behind.

I think wubuntu is a good work (also if I don’t like web desktop projects) but it should be clearly stated that Wubuntu is not related to the real Ubuntu! This could confuse users and bring bad results for Ubuntu.

LinuxMCE is a great media center software built for being installed on a Kubuntu feisty, but reading the download and install instructions it seems to be that it’s all too difficult, why not building a Kubuntu livecd with built-in MCE?

Is someone interested in the project?
Do someone want to join me to do that?

I think it could be useful when you want to run the whole system on a dedicated pc, just insert the cd and the media center is loaded (ok it should be installed to disk but that’s possible too…).

I’m sorry I’m not posting a lot in these days but I’m working hard on many things and actually I haven’t seen news I’d like to discuss…

Anyway, back to the post title… the first screencast of the Ubuntu customizator is here:

• OGG format
• AVI format

Expect major changes soon.

Update: here’s a youtubed version of the screencast, I suggest to download the files above cause this is really low quality;

We’re opening today, after a bit of delusion in the past days for the trademark troubles, we decided we wanted to go on, BuildYourUbuntu won’t come to life but now you can create your own unique Ubuntu flavor with CreaLabs YourWay: Ubuntu the way you are.

Hey I think that claim really rocks! :D

All the new features are finally merged in the main development truck, the next release will be officially named 2.0 and the logo contest is going beyond my expectations.

My promise for 2.0: I’ll take the time to document every single script and create some example of command line remastering examples.

Because I don’t want software that doesn’t integrates with my desktop but most of all, should I see again shareware/trialware closed source projects and maybe pirated software on the beautiful and free (as FREEDOM, always remember the meaning and the importance of that word) Linux…

I was looking at the Dell Ubuntu PC page and I was counting in my mind… there was something strange about prices, later I found this really good comparison.

Talking about the inspiron model, Ubuntu costs 80$ less than Vista Basic, but Ubuntu PC has Intel graphic while Vista PC has ATI X1400, there’s a price difference between the two cards which turn down the price difference on the whole PC to about 30-40$.

Anyway at least a big step it’s done and buyers can be sure about hardware compatibility and (personal note) the Intel graphic cards do their job the right way (and have open drivers, thank you Intel for that)!
