A review of Linux Mint Debian Edition (RC) released in April 2012. Overall, it’s a fantastic traditional desktop providing two terrific alternatives to the late great Gnome 2 environment. Complete with codecs, the best open-source apps, and a very secure and tested Debian base…Linux Mint Debian Edition complete with MATE 1.2 and Cinnamon 1.4 has really come of age.

The Raspberry Pi is a £15/ computer that runs GNU/Linux. See www.raspberrypi.org for more info. I plan to provide Linux tutorials for those who are new to it, configuration tutorials once the Raspberry Pi is out, and programming tutorials following that. Cheers, Liam.

This video is of Fedora 15, but the steps are exactly the same as for Fedora 16. Please leave feedback or any questions. Instructions below: 1. Go to www.fedoraproject.org, click Download and download the 32 bit if your PC is older. Get the 64 bit if you’re running an Intel i3 or later computer. 2. Open the downloads folder, right-click the fedora file you downloaded and in Windows 7, click ‘burn to image’ with a blank CD-R in your CD drive. 3. Once finished, restart your PC. in the bottom left corner it shows the button you need to tap repeatedly on start up to enter the BIOS. Usually it is Del, F12 or the ESC. Find out, restart and tap the button until BIOS appears. 4. Change the boot priority order so the Primary device is the CD-Rom drive. use the keyboard with the Enter key and Escape to navigate the menus and make this change. Save and exit. 5. Fedora disc should boot. choose boot, and once done, choose Install to hard drive. Fill out the forms. 6. Once complete, restart and enter BIOS again, tap the button and put your hard drive back as the first device. 7. When Fedora starts there’s one more menu to fill in. Then it has competed. Also during startup, to enter the GRUB menu, it will prompt you to press any key to enter. You can choose to boot Fedora or Windows if you have that installed also.

Debian Linux vs windows 7 file transfer test, no external drive or flash drive bottleneck, just straight from one folder to another. Windows 7 64bit = NTFS Debian Linux 64bit = EXT4 Toshiba L300 single core celeron, 2G of ram Taken from my phone so there is no screen recording software slowing down the systems. Windows 7 had the performance profile selected and no antivirus software installed. Debian Linux was using the default settings and there is no need for antivirus software. 1.4GB mp4 video file. The results: Windows 7 took roughly 1:12, so the average is roughly 20MB/s Debian Linux took roughly 50 seconds, so the average is roughly 28MB/s

E così, come promesso, torniamo a parlare di GNU/Linux.
Questa volta proviamo ad affrontare una panormaica delle sue distribuzioni, in modo da iniziare ad approfondire il discorso.

Le distribuzioni esistenti sono veramente molte ed ognuna ha caratteristiche diverse per quanto riguarda il numero e le versioni dei programmi installabili ed anche l’organizzazione degli stessi. Così ognuno è libero di scegliere la versione più adatta alle sue necessità.

Ed allora in questo video parliamo di Debian, progetto gestito da una società no-profit, e dei suoi software. Ma parliamo anche di Ubuntu, una delle distro Linux più in voga in questo momento, semplice, immediata e pensata per gli utenti comuni.
E poi passiamo a RedHat con l’omonima società di software opensource e il suo primato di quotazione in borsa. Ed ancora Fedora, sviluppata direttamente dalla comunità.

Ma siccome l’elenco è lungo possiamo ancora dare uno sguardo a Gentoo Linux, metadistribuzione le cui appplicazioni si possono installare compilandole dal codice sorgente. E poi SUSE, prodotta in Germania e quindi attenta alle necessità degli utenti europei. Ed ancora Slackware, la più longeva e forse la più graficamente essenziale.

Ma prima di chiudere il discorso è bene fare ancora un accenno a Solaris e BSD, due distribuzioni non propriamente Linux e comunque molto interessanti.

E visto che Videomarta cerca di essere sempre molto pratica, diamo anche un paio di consigli su come provare le distro Linux. Nello specifico i consigli sono il CD Live e (soprattutto) le macchine virtuali.
Ma come sempre, quando si parla di Linux, il consiglio è di rivolgervi ai Lug della vostra zona per approfondire il discorso.
