Revolution OS
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008It was interesting to hear views from the Free software movement pioneers, you should watch it yourself.....
You can watch the film on youtube, but it's always nice to have it on DVD
"REVOLUTION OS tells the inside story of the hackers who rebelled against the proprietary software model and Microsoft to create GNU/Linux and the Open Source movement."
Ubuntu - DVD from MPEG
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008I've been creating DVD's recently from my DV camcorder, it turns out it's quite easy, but on my laptop [due to it not having much processing power] takes ages. So here are the steps.
1, i'm port your video into kino, export it to MPEG [8 DVD]
2, make sure you have dvdauthor and mkisofs installed on your pc, a simple apt-get install will do it for you
3, run the following commands from the folder where the MPEG is
1, dvdauthor -o dvd -t
2, dvdauthor -o dvd -T
3, mkisofs -dvd-video -o
4, burn off your ISO using your fave burning app [i use k3b]
Watch and Enjoy
Picasa - Ubuntu
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your computer. Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will recognize. You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels to create new groups. Picasa makes sure your pictures are always organized.
Download it here - http://picasa.google.com/linux/download.html
I downloaded the 32bit deb for Ubuntu and it works a treat
