To the surprise of many, Lindependence 2008 did not end in Felton California. What many thought to be a publicity stunt has proven to be exactly what the founders planned for it to be...a template. So where do we go from here?
My 3 year old son is addicted to race cars, so I decided to look for some 3D racing games that can be played natively under Linux. Unfortunately, I only found quite a few. But since some of you are probably desperately searching for some decent racing games for your Linux box, I will share to you some of those games that I have discovered.
Overall I am highly impressed with what companies have been able to do by utilizing some of the latest computer hardware, and open source operating systems like Kunbuntu and other flavors of Linux.
Brief history of Docks: NeXTstep was first to introduce the idea of “docks” in an operating system back in 1989 when neXTstep 1.0 was first released. Later as most of Nextstep’s codebase was used on OpenStep and then on OS X, “dock” was one of the few original and the most prominent features that stayed with OS X. Looking Glass was a free open source dock written in Java, developed by a Sun Microsystem employee in his spare time on a Linux laptop. It was first demonstrated publicly in 2003. There is an argument among fanboys that Apple stole took the idea of 3D look and feel from the Project Looking Glass, to give apple docks its present look; however there is no question that Apple, which bought NeXTstep (founded by Steve Jobs), was the original developer of the concept of “docks”. As of October 8, 2008 Apple was awarded patent for Mac OS X Dock after waiting for almost nine years.
As in 1.6 GHz Intel Atom. So it still comes with Linux pre-installed on the 4GB SSD drive and includes 1GB of RAM which is more than plenty. My original Eee PC was pretty zippy when running Linux with just half of that.
Things are definitely looking bright for OpenOffice.org – and not just in sunny Italy.
