Here we have the latest version of the current puppy linux named slacko, due to it using slackware repo’s and stuff, and now it looks pretty good after a few problems earlier in the year.
in my run with it so far i have had no problems what so ever and very sprightly it is to but it is not ment for older hardware really, is ment for newer stuff.
but if love pup and want to join the journey of slacko, give it a go on usb…woof.

In many countries around the world, technology is a luxury most cannot afford. One group is helping the situation through a program called OLPC – One Laptop Per Child. This program provides children, who would otherwise likely never see computers or other tech gadgets, with a cost-effective, rugged laptop powered by solar energy and running the free Fedora Linux distribution. These laptops have made an incredible impact on the lives and future of millions of children.

This program really speaks to me; it was a privilege for me to sit down with Marvell, makers of the processor & other chips found in the OLPC XO-3 tablet.

A review of openSUSE 12.1 in all it’s KDE 4.7 and Gnome 3.2 fanciness. Overall this system is technologically advanced but brings this technology into the realm of the desktop user. Fantastic btrfs integration, snapshot functionality, remote administration, rolling release support all compliment the latest iterations of desktop environments and apps including KDE 4.7, Gnome 3.2, Xfce 4.8, LXDE, Firefox 7, LibreOffice 3.4, and much more.

Definitely recommended for the power user, and also one who wants to learn what Linux is capable of.

A review of the much-anticipated Linux Mint 12 ‘Lisa’ operating system. Overall, this distribution bridges a wide gap between the traditional desktop interface, and the future desktop of Gnome 3. Top of the line open-source applications with custom Mint tools make for a very nice, albeit limited, user experience.

I like the direction that Linux Mint 12 is headed, but there are still some implementation tweaks that need to be made in both Gnome 3′s Mint Gnome Shell Extensions (MGSE) and the Gnome 2 fork MATE desktop environment.

Let me know what you think below!
Thanks again everyone and more vids are on the way!

After years of development the Hak5 team debuts the most lethal Human Interface Device to grace an unsuspecting USB port. Introducing the USB Rubber Ducky. In this episode of Hak5, Darren and team demonstrate the power of this cross-platform local attack framework with a few payloads aimed at fully patched Windows 7 boxes. Shannon continues her quest for the perfect Linux desktop with a switch from Ubuntu’s Unity to Gnome, and we answer your questions regarding PC recycling, x86 routers and free / open source PC migration software. All that and more this time on Hak5.

Linux refers to the family of Unix-like computer operating systems using the Linux kernel. Linux can be installed on a wide variety of computer hardware, ranging from mobile phones, tablet computers and video game consoles, to mainframes and supercomputers. Linux is a leading server operating system, and runs the 10 fastest supercomputers in the world.
The development of Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source software collaboration; typically all the underlying source code can be used, freely modified, and redistributed, both commercially and non-commercially, by anyone under licenses such as the GNU General Public License. Typically Linux is packaged in a format known as a Linux distribution for desktop and server use. Some popular mainstream Linux distributions include Debian (and its derivatives such as Ubuntu), Fedora and openSUSE. Linux distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting utilities and libraries to fulfill the distribution’s intended use.

FreeBSD is a free Unix-like operating system descended from AT&T UNIX via BSD UNIX. Although for legal reasons FreeBSD cannot be called “UNIX,” as the direct descendant of BSD UNIX (many of whose original developers became FreeBSD developers), FreeBSD’s internals and system APIs are UNIX-compliant, and thanks to its permissive licensing terms, much of FreeBSD’s code base has become an integral part of other operating systems such as Mac OS X that have subsequently been certified as UNIX-compliant and have formally received UNIX branding. With the exception of the proprietary Mac OS X, FreeBSD is the most widely used BSD-derived operating system in terms of number of installed computers, and is the most widely used freely licensed, open-source BSD distribution, accounting for more than three quarters of all installed systems running free, open-source BSD derivatives.
FreeBSD is a complete operating system; the kernel, device drivers, and all of the userland utilities, such as the shell, are held in the same source code revision tracking tree. (This is in contrast to Linux distributions, for which the kernel, userland utilities, and applications are developed separately, and then packaged together in various ways by others.) Third-party application software may be installed using various software installation systems, the two most common being source installation and package installation, both of which use the FreeBSD Ports system.

In this video Jim Ready, the CTO and Founder of MontaVista Software, discusses virtualization in embedded Linux. He discusses how it differs from virtualization in the IT world, the technologies that can be applied for virtualization, and the different use cases you’ll often find. In the end, you’ll learn virtualization is a lot more than simply running different operating systems in a hypervisor.
