Valve has just published their usage statistics in February 2013 Steam and extracted them interesting data such that users of version GNU / Linux and add about 2% of the total.

Alan Cox’s statements make clear their views on the latest version of Fedora, which appeared a few days ago and according to the developer, who for years worked at Red Hat-is the worst in company history .

Surely all who read MuyLinux have read something or heard on occasion of Alan Cox, one of the living legends of Open Source Development as this developer was one of the heads of development Linux kernel and is very involved in this task.
Cox was
employee of Red Hat from 1999 to 2009 , and in 2010 went to work for Intel. In his account of Google+ Cox wrote a few hours ago a small comment on Fedora 18 indicating that:
“The new installer is not usable, the updater has errors. When you get to run the default desktop has become something a little less useful than a cup of chocolate, and instead of solving the problems have added more “.
Harsh words
especially coming from someone who was working long directly to Red Hat and Fedora, and we assume that many people know better distribution.
And you, I was disappointed Fedora 18 as Alan Cox
SevenBits
on GitHub has created an interesting tool called USB Loader Mac that can create a USB from an ISO image with a Linux distribution, so that demonstrates key boot a Mac from Apple with that key with its support native EFI . 
As he explains in his blog, this tool avoids the need to install rEFIt or refind , two traditional methods to start to test both systems Linux LiveCD mode to install Linux distributions.
This tool copies the files from each ISO image of the distribution we want to try on your Mac, but also adds a EFI firmware that allows use those distros directly on the computer. Apparently Ubuntu testing have been entirely satisfactory, and is likely to work well with other distributions as well.
Still in beta , so can we meet the odd conflict. If you want to try , you can do so via the GitHub project page.

As noted in MuyComputer, if there is a GNU / Linux distribution Ubuntu that’s popular, it has gradually become the third post PC operating system most used in the world . Beyond user willingly understand that Ubuntu is installed, the company behind the project, Canonical, takes charge of various agreements with companies like Dell, with which it has spread in countries like India and China.
But all is
consumer market, and for quality Open Source software , Ubuntu has seen him growing variants, ie Ubuntu based distributions that use the same infrastructure software repositories, but offered to the public with level settings changes, default or other applications.
Some of these variants are official and its main difference from Ubuntu’s desktop environment in which they are based, is the case of Kubuntu, Xubuntu or Lubuntu. Others, such as Linux Mint, have gone so high that even seems to remain alone, but it is not.
Guadalinex is one of many Linux distributions based on Ubuntu, originally, in Debian, which in turn implies the Ubuntu-based technology, but it is not any. Guadalinex is a project promoted by the Andalusian , especially adapted to the environment to which it is addressed.
As published in Ostatic
, Guadalinex is currently used by 600,000 students and 75,000 teachers in Spain, a figure that will grow later this year a resounding, reaching 4000 schools and about 1.5 million students .
“ Teachers and students throughout Andalucía now have access to a stable technological environment and easy to use . You can find and share educational information more easily “says Rafael Garcia Rivas, Director of the Center for Advanced Management of Andalusia.
Ultimately, Guadalinex is a software project that interested Spanish by , and that good health is only a reflection of a job well done. Through their official website you can download the installation media and try the latest version, or install and use, copy and give it away, in a totally free and legally.

As our co-published MuyComputer, SUSE Linux has been the system chosen to govern SuperMuc, the fastest supercomputer in Europe , thus strengthening its position as “joint distribution” that occupies more supercomputers. Attentive to the news:
With a capacity of 3 petaflops of processing power, 147,456 processors and 324 terabytes of memory, the SuperMUC is regarded as the fastest supercomputer in Europe and the fourth most powerful in the world . Created by IBM, and has been in operation at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), which celebrates its 50th anniversary.
One of the curiosities of SuperMUC is your cooling system, inspired by the human circulatory system , in achieving a reduction in energy consumption important. In fact, it is designed to use energy saving in heating the campus of LRZ. And the beast ruling is SUSE Linux, Linux system “common” occupies most supercomputers.
to Professor Arndt Bode, head of the LRZ: “ Since 1998 we have used SUSE for our field of high performance computing at the LRZ. At that time, it was important to us that SUSE provide us with technical features that were not in other distributions of Linux “.
“ But also important was the geographical proximity, direct connection to development teams and product management for SUSE and quick support response time. This is still a great benefit to us and that is why all our high-performance computers and most systems running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server “, says the scientist.
In short, Linux still dominates the market for supercomputers, and SUSE Linux distribution is best appreciated in the segment.

MuyLinux yesterday we had in the Linux Mint Xfce edition 13, today is the turn of KDE Linux Mint 13 , which officially announced a few hours ago it was launched.
What can we expect
Linux Mint 13 KDE? Sad to say, absolutely nothing. Based on Ubuntu 12.04 (or Kubuntu, I have not of course) have been planted KDE 4.8 with the clear theme Plasma always (the Mint KDE), a set of additional wallpaper, yes, have changed the default search engine Yahoo! web browser, with whom, I suppose, Clement Lefebvre will have signed an agreement.
If anyone
spare time and you feel like losing this thing called Linux Mint 13 KDE (sorry, I can not any longer), you will find the download links in the official announcement.
fill a little more this entry, it will be very SIESA, I can only drop another cool: This release is one of those completely undermine diversity panorama GNU / Linux.

Linux’s versatility has made literally hundreds of distributions appear often focus on specific tasks. This applies to Aperture Linux , a distribution for 64-bit computers is based on openSUSE and is fully geared to photographers .
After installing it we will find a whole host of possibilities in the field of management and photo editing , such as Darktable, RawTherapee, Rawstudio, digiKam and GIMP.
But besides that in Aperture Linux have paid attention to other important factors for photographers, and include a specialized custom color profiles has high quality, color scripts to adjust more accurately the colors of the photographs we work.
Recently
this distribution has launched its version Linux GNOME 3 PreAlpha Aperture-there-KDE version, which still uses GNOME 3.2 -in fact, do not recommend trying to upgrade to GNOME 3.4 for no mar-operation, which you can try downloading the distribution from here. And if you like, you have more details on this distro in official support section.

technology forums 4chan have posted one of those diagrams try to help Linux users to choose the ideal distribution , something complicated in fact usually ends with the election of any the big picture.
even know what to choose between these large-and among a group of fairly large, or popular, to put it another way, have proposed a system in which guided through questions and answers we can reach a valid conclusion and theoretical answer sought: what GNU / Linux install.
reveal Reddit comments, in the diagram using some phrases and jargon typical conventions common in the 4chan forums (eg, / g / is the name of this technology forum), but generally though everything is in English is understood quite easily , so cheer up, and prove to see if you get what you you use regularly.
Indeed, has left me to my Fedora . Uhm. Actually more use Ubuntu and I have installed Arch and openSUSE, but my situation was hard hit

may be in the field of 3 years desktop support Canonical’s LTS distros seem sufficient, but when it comes to large companies that figure is too short . For this reason Ubuntu extends that period to five years in the case of distributions servants, but still falls short of the big market.
the case of Red Hat, which as shown in MuyComputerPRO announced that extend the life cycle of their distributions Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6, so that instead of 7 years the bear, bear now for 10 years .
For any business, upgrade to a newer version of the operating system requires very detailed planning, and this has been one of the reasons why Red Hat has decided to extend this support so its customers can keep their longer version .
You have all the details
