picotux – the smallest Linux Computer in the World

The picotux 100 is the world’s smallest Linux computer, only slightly larger (35mm×19mm×19mm) than an RJ45 connector. Inside, there is an ARM7 CPU at 55 MHz running uClinux kernel 2.4.27 and Busybox 1.0. Two communication interfaces are provided, 10/100 Mbit half/full duplex Ethernet and a serial port with up to 230.400 baud. Five additional lines can be used for either general input/output or serial handshaking.

G.ho.st (Free Web-based Visual Computer)

Esse site disponibiliza uma máquina virtual dentro do navegador com um “Sistema Operacional” e outros recursos, entre eles um serviço de ftp gratis com 5 GB de espaço.

Para ter acesso ao ambiente você só precisa fazer um cadastro simples, informando seu login e e-mail.

G.ho.st provides every person in the world with a free Virtual Computer (VC). Like a Windows PC, or Mac, the VC is a personal computing environment which includes your desktop, your personal settings, your files and your choice of software applications. But unlike a PC, your VC is not installed on one physical computer – instead it is stored in professional data centers across the Internet cloud, and is accessed from any Internet browser in the world. From any computer, open the browser to G.ho.st , enter your username and password, and continue using your VC from exactly the state you last left it in.

Your G.ho.st VC has several advantages over a PC :

• Available from any browser in the world instead of being installed on one physical machine.
• The operating system, many apps, and the first 5GB of data storage and 3GB of email stroage are absolutely free.
• Software (namely Web-based software) can be run without installation.
• The computer is always up-to-date, secure and backed up with no action or cost on your part.
• The G.ho.st VC manages all your Web logins and all your web ’stuff’ (e.g. files on different web services).
• Because it is online, the G.ho.st VC provides new possibilities for fun and collaboration, beyond what is available on a PC.

The G.ho.st VC is currently in public “alpha” – the VC is already stable and usable although it does not yet have a complete set of applications, services and widgets associated with it and there are a few bugs. The bugs will be fixed and application added rapidly over the coming weeks.

Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron” beta – making life easier for Windows users

Let’s face it, deciding to nuke your existing operating system installation and replace it with a completely different OS isn’t the sort of task that you should approach lightly.  One of the barriers to Linux adoption is the fact that many people find the idea of wiping their Windows installation a daunting thing.  Sure, the widespread adoption of the Live CD with allows users to boot into a working Linux environment has made taking a Linux distro for a test drive easier, but a Live CD experience falls far short of what you can expect from an installed Linux experience.  Mais informações >>
