In the world of Linux there is always a choice to make in Desktop Environments, Media Players, Windows Managers, and File Managers... etc. But I will focus on a File Manager in this post.
In Linux you have many file managers, so many that I can't list them all right now. There are some command line based, GUI and all sorts of flavors and optimized for different purposes.
Some of them are Nautilus, Dolphin, Thunar, and these file managers are the default for GNOME, KDE, and XFCE.
 I will take Dolphin. Dolphin is the default File Manager for KDE, and I am telling you KDE is a very good DE and Dolphin earned it place in it. It has numerous features that makes your browsing through files experience much more pleasant. If you wish to install it just run this command in your terminal:

Hello everyone! We see that Ubuntu Lucid has a new look but what about its derivate Kubuntu?
Well, Kubuntu has some modifications too. The last time when I tried KDE was when Intrepid Ibex came out, so today I decided to go to www.kubuntu.com and download the ISO image. If you wish you can download it too for free, but I suggest you to use a torrent download since it is a almost 700 MB download.
 The download was finished in about 30 minutes at a speed of about 500 kb/s so I went to a walk and when I came back the download was already finished.
 I quickly opened Virtual Box, created a new machine and indicated where the ISO is stored. VOILA! In 10 minutes Kubuntu 10.04 was loaded in Virtual Box as a LIVE Session!
 The first thing you will see is this screen:

Now, after I selected the first options and let Kubuntu to load I got this:

If we look at Operating Systems in general we see that they have something precious that separates them from others.We see that  Mac OS X known user friendliness makes it practically dumb proof, and Windows has its all  big collection of software packages. But what about Ubuntu?
 Well Ubuntu has a pretty big software collection too, but not as wide as Windows, and it has its level of user friendliness. But that is not enough to separate it from the  others. The thing that separates is its COMMUNITY!
 Now imagine your self having some problems with you Ubuntu systems. What is the first you would do? Yeah, that is right! You would Google the problem! But what happens if you can't find a solution to your problem because your problem is a bit unique?
 Well if I was you I would ask help from the Ubuntu Community.You can ask help from them on their IRC network, that offers a very quick solution if any one knows it.But if you want others t ... Read more »

Today I was using Gwibber on my Facebook account and I was wondering " All this with no effort after the install".
Ahh, come on! Were do you see this in other Operating systems?
In Windows (Put the version here) you had to go through all the hassle of opening your web browser (Internet Explorer, FireFox, Opera, etc) then go to Google.com and search "Download my favorite social client"!
Then double click the .exe file and you know the rest, total waste of time!
 But with Ubuntu this aspect has changed. Instead going through all the above steps you only have to do 2 things after the fresh install:
 1. Open Gwiber
 2. Set up you account.

Do you notice the difference? Well I do! You can enjoy you online social life right away thanks to Gwibber Developers, Canonical and the Ubuntu Team.

And thanks to the ingenious MeMenu now you don't have to open Gwibber's window... Just click your username and ente ... Read more »

Unless you ordered a Ubuntu Lucid Lynx CD from Canonical you do not know how the new CD cover looks.
Well I am here to tell you!
For the beginning I will tell you that it does not look BROWN!!! like the other covers!
The main color of the front part of the cover is PURPLE(What, NOT BROWN, I thought Ubuntu is all about BROWN!).
Printed on this background are many white dots in a matrix style. Also the "10.04 LTS'' text is made of dots, white dots.
The background image is the default Ubuntu wallpaper!
Here I will show you this picture to see your self if you don't believe me!

Now tell me please ( if you know) what is the biggest problem yo can have with a personal computer?
Bugs?
Viruses?
Driver Issues?
Kernel Panics (BSODs for WIndows users)?
I think its Hardware Issues!
Hardware Issues? But why?
Because each time you have a problem with bugs, software, drivers there is a fix that sometimes you can do it by yourself by following a tutorial from the web...
But when you only have one computer and your RAM or Processor burns is far worse... You cant get online to search the web from your machine because is currently DEAD...
 The only fix is , if you don't have proper knowledge is to go to a computer shop were they can fix it, but guess what! IT COSTS $MONEY$... If you have the proper knowledge and the right tools you can try fix it your self but if you are unsure DON'T TOUCH IT because you may find yourself paying another 600 dollars $$$ for a new machine just because you touched your motherboard whe ...

 If you look at the post installation processes after a Ubuntu fresh install you will notice that almost 
everything is automated...
Now that is not a common thing in Windows.
When do you see Windows notifying you that hardware drivers are available? Almost never.
 But in Ubuntu this is not a rare thing!
In Windows you had to go on the provider website, fill in a form, download the driver, install it and
REBOOT!
In Ubuntu all you have to do is click the New drivers available notification and "Install drivers!”
It can't be more easy than that! All this because of a wonderful program and the developers of this
program!
The program is called jockey-gtk (weird name)... Here is a screenshot!

Windows software comes in .exe files, which you are expected to get from the web or from a store. Ubuntu software comes in packages, which are installed and updated through a centralised system, like a more powerful version of Windows Update and Add/Remove Programs.

See the software installation guide for instructions on how to install new programs. Application packages will usually appear in the Applicationsmenu, configuration tools will usually appear in the Preferences or Administration&n ... Read more »
