Tech FREAKY - beta

The latest version of Ubuntu is recently released. Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron is the second release of the popular Linux operating system to offer Long Term Support (LTS). As you can imagine this is extremely important in the corporate world where IT departments can’t afford to hassle with upgrading the operating system every six months.
Here is the list of some new features introduced:

• Wubi - Install and uninstall Ubuntu in Windows as if it were a simple Windows application. It does not need a dedicated partition to operate, but it is still able to offer a dual-boot setup.
• PulseAudio - Mix audio from multiple applications together, adjust the volume for each specific application, and more.
• Xorg 7.3 - Includes a new Screen Resolution utility that allows users to dynamically configure the resolution, refresh rate, and rotation of a second monitor. This will be particularly handy for laptop users that connect to a projector or external monitor.
• Firefox 3 (Beta 5) - Integrates much better into the operating system.
• Brasero - CD/DVD burning application
• Transmission - BitTorrent client
• World Clock Applet - The GNOME panel clock can display the time and weather of multiple locations around the world.
• Vinagre - Remote desktop (VNC) client
• Totem - Movie player that includes a plugin for directly searching and playing YouTube videos.
• Inkscape - Native PDF support that provides an easy way to edit text and graphics in PDF documents.

And that’s just for Ubuntu! Don’t forget to check out some of the other variants:

• Kubuntu 8.04 - A KDE version of Ubuntu. There’s now a “cutting edge” version available that includes KDE 4.0!
• Edubuntu 8.04 - Designed for the education setting, and includes iTalc classroom management software allowing for teacher sharing, monitoring, and control of networked workstations.
• Xubuntu 8.04 - Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop environment which is geared towards less-powerful computers. Have an old computer sitting around? Put it to work with this Ubuntu variant!

It is very nice experience that Digital Lounge (migrated from free blogspot) and got a new name and with a new online presence as TechFreaky, with the latest 2.5 wordpress. 2.5 Wordpress is very neat and clean admin area, with some renamed menus, although some plugins are problematic, which are trying to 2.5 compatible.

Before this theme, we tried a lot of themes, but did’nt liked anyone. So soon I will be developing my own theme, I am learning some stuff to have my grip on them.

So here I start my tech blogging once again for this new domain. The updates for the previous stuff is new categories, rubbish content deleted, although Digital Lounge links are still there, I will be updating it soon.

Why at Beta? Still I am facing some problems with the theme, plugin, content, ads, users, registeration, moving back the old users to new feed and inviting new ones.
