My Review for Ubuntu 12.04 04/26/2012
0 Comments
 
The Bad:
No categories for programs(?).
[Only] One program crash in the hours of trying out 12.04
It took a few seconds for History in dash home to go away right when history was cleared. (Maybe it was in cache?) 

Big Plus: 
Privacy settings
Fast feeling, even on my older system.
Best released since 10.10

Software and Repositories to use to keep Ubuntu updated 12/25/2011
0 Comments
 

Small update from my September post.

As you may know, Canonical freezes software packages a few weeks before a new distribution comes out.Only security updates will be installed after the freeze.
If you want new fectures for your software, you need to install a ppa.
To add a repository on your system the new way (9.10 and higher) all you do is “sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge”
Some software on this list may no longer be updated for older systems. 
 
1: Chromium - Stable: ppa:chromium-daily/stable [10.04+]
2: Firefox - Stable: ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable [10.04+]
3: Thunderbird - Stable: ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable [10.04+]
4. Openshot - Bleeding Edge: ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge [9.10+]
5. LibreOffice - Stable: ppa:libreoffice/ppa [10.04+]
6. The Gimp - Trunk: ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn [9.04+]
7. Pidgin - Stable: ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa [10.04+]
8. Shotwell - Stable: ppa:yorba/ppa [11.04+] ppa:flexiondotorg/shotwell [10.04 **, 10.10 **]
9. WineHQ - Stable: ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [6.06+]
10. Banshee - Stable: ppa:banshee-team/ppa [7.10+]

** Must enable the GStreamer PPA to use: ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa

Some software I recommend getting from the office site:
TOR
VirtualBox
PlayOnLinux
Vuze

TechFurs.net 2012 Operating System Plan 11/04/2011
0 Comments
 
The news about Ubuntu dropping Banshee, Tomboy And Mono from the 12.04 CD doesn't bother me. I don't like Banshee, I use Tomboy sometimes, but I don't like it being automatically installed on my computers with lower disk space, I can install that from the Software Center easily. And for Mono, I use a custom PPA for that, not the default Ubuntu version.

I would like Synaptic Package Manager being installed by default. I use that program a lot. 

I'm not sure if I will be upgrading to 12.04 when it comes out. If Canonical doesn't extend support for 10.10, I guess I will have to upgrade or move to some other distribution.

I'm probably going to stay with XFCE as my desktop environment. I'm to geeky to use Unity or GNOME 3. I have over 30 programs running at once at times.

As for Windows 8, I already know I'm not going to upgrade any of my personal or business computers to that in 2012. I'll buy a OEM copy when it comes out and use it as a virtual machine. I will offer full support for Windows 8 for repair, service and Win7 to Win8 Upgrades.
At this time, I do not have a plan to build "Designed for Windows 8" computers.

As for Windows XP, I'm planing to move it from Full Support to Moderate Support due to some software dropping SP3 in 2012.

Windows Vista SP2 and Windows 7 RTM, SP1 will stay at Full Support.

Some other plans in the works...

Removing all ads from this website.
Expanding Android support next year.
Partnership/Affiliation with businesses.
Expanding our investment portfolio.
Name change to attract more customers.
New domain name.
Official Business LLC.
Complying with all California state and federal business laws, regulations and taxes.

Your options are, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ and install it yourself using one of the versions or use a script file to install Flash Player on your system.
The script file can be downloaded at http://web.techfurs.net/Flash11ForUbuntu.html then follow the directions so the script will install it for you.

If you need any help or have questions, feel free to comment.
