Sorry about not posting the last few days. I meant to post yesterday but I was chasing down a few things for Mac4Lin. Anirudh (infra_red_guy) has gotten a very recent development copy of the PDF documentation (possibly more recent than the version I posed here) for Mac4Lin 1.0 available for downloading. You can grab it from the download page for the version 1.0 RC. I’ve got a few more edits to make even now, but as we get things closer to release I’ll try to make sure that we get an updated version available on the Mac4Lin SourceForge site.
- TualatriX: Bugfixed release: Ubuntu Tweak. It turns out that when TualatriX released version of Ubuntu Tweak 0.4.2 last week there was a bug that kept Ubuntu Tweak 0.4.2 from running without Compiz installed. He tracked down the bug and pushed out a quick bugfix.
- Mtuxland/Ubuntu Forums: Howto: Get Google Gadgets easily! Google has released an version 0.10.3 of Google Gadgets. Mtuxland has packages built for GTK and for QT, or you can get the updated file from GetDeb like I did. You can see what got updated in the changelog.
- Tom Dryer: A Guide to System Backup and Restore in Ubuntu. If you don’t have a regular backup routine for your computer don’t feel bad, a lot of us don’t, like me. I do backups when I’m about to do a major install/upgrade and I know it’s just a matter of time until that bites me in the arse. The guest article by Vivek Kumar will help you see how easy it is to schedule regular backups of your important files. Now I just need to make sure I have space and/or media to store the backups.
I really hate how much advertising I’m seeing about Chrismukkuh already (even my own reference to it while talking about Mac4Lin 1.0 last week), but there’s something I have to mention. Amazon.com is now taking orders for the One Laptop Per Child Buy One Get One program. For a mere $399 not only do your get an OLPC laptop computer sent to a child in a devloping country but you also get one for to give to a child that you know. Not only is that a double win it’s also damned good karma. Big thanks to Mike Rushton of the Ubuntu Massachusetts LoCo Team for the reminder and the link.
