Voglia di Linux

Per il gusto di parlare male di Vista: ci sono 15 opzioni di spengere un portatile e nove per un PC. Una malattia di offrire un po’ troppo opzioni della quale soffre anche KDE, mentre Gnome esagera nella direzione opposta.

Can anything be done? It must be possible. iPods don’t even have an on/off switch. Here are some ideas.

If you’ve spoken to a non-geek recently, you may have noticed that they have no idea what the difference is between “sleep” and “hibernate.” They could be trivially merged. One option down.

Switch User and Lock can be combined by letting a second user log on when the system is locked. That would probably save a lot of forced-logouts anyway. Another option down.

Navigare nella cartella nascosta ~/.kde/autostart: > tasto destro > crea collegamento ad un’ applicazione > aprire la scheda “applicazione” > comando > sfoglia e cercare la cartella di Firefox 2.0 e inserire il comando “firefox”. Quando � installata anche l’estensione Tab Mix Plus con il session saver si riapre con tutte le schede che erano aperte quando lo chiudevi. Ma bisogna chiuderlo a mano prima di spegnere il PC, questo rimane da automatizzare ancora…

La notizia � che Microsoft e Novell (Suse) collaboreranno. Chi guadagna sar� l’utente, per il resto si vedr�. Sempre business sar�.

However, today’s news is a big step forward for the Linux market. Today, for the first time, Microsoft is collaborating directly with a Linux and Open Source software vendor. With this news, Microsoft is saying that Linux is an important part of the IT infrastructure.
More importantly, Microsoft announced today that it will not assert its patents against individual, non-commercial developers. Novell has secured an irrevocable promise from Microsoft to allow individual and non-commercial contributors the freedom to continue open source development, free from any concern of Microsoft patent lawsuits. That’s right, Microsoft wants you to keep hacking.
