class=”article first_main_article” readability=”36″>

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 .

Fedora 18 500x327 Alan Cox: Fedora 18 seems to be the worst of Red Hat distro I've ever seen Alan Cox. Source: Wikipedia

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

4.3

Wifislax find KDE 4 as the default desktop environment, but also can be used as alternatives Xfce and Openbox light. The presence of a double kernel lets start with a normal 32-bit kernel or a PAE version for 32-bit computers with more than 4 Gbytes of RAM. kernel latter is particularly interesting because it supports GPU tasks cracking by the presence of the official drivers from NVIDIA and AMD.

XZM modules are probably the big secret of this distribution: these modules provide not only office tools, multimedia or antivirus, but also all kinds of solutions for pentesting , such as Maltego, metasploit, set, subterfuge, w3af, and others, as discussed in the original post. All these modules can be downloaded from this thread of the forums SeguridadWireless.

    Now you can put the ‘global menu’ ever in GNOME Shell

    first_main_article” class=”article readability=”39″>

    One of the drawbacks that users put GNOME Shell is the fact that the menu disappears from the global options that were deployed applications, but now we can recover the function GNOME Shell .

    500x376 gnomeshell globalmenu Now you can put the menu in GNOME global Shell always

    As noted in WebUpd8

    , several developers are working on a version of GNOME for GTK3 Global Menu, and in fact already exist alpha versions available for download , so you can use it in GNOME Shell.

    the new menu now only works with GTK applications (both as GTK3 GTK2), but for example LibreOffice, Firefox or Qt tools do not work now, and in fact may be a problem with some GTK tools, such as Shutter.

    WebUpd8 the original post you can find the installation process for GNOME Shell Global Menu, available for example for Arch Linux AUR but is also present for users of Ubuntu and Fedora. The procedure is a bit more cumbersome than usual , but it sure is simplified in later versions of the development.

    Stallman, do not ever change

    class=”article first_main_article” readability=”38″>

    February 10, 2011 – by techy

    5 comments

    in the previous post we talked about Linus Torvalds and the interview he has given to iTWire, this time moved the opinions of what is probably the other main representative of GNU / Linux for years. Richard M. Stallman (RMS, also likes to referencing) is a staunch supporter of free software , not in vain is the creator of the GNU Project and Free Software Foundation.

    TildeHash blog author has sent a series of questions by email and Stallman has answered them all, making it possible to have pretty interesting interview that again RMS gives his views on how the world should be present in the software realm.

    For example, asked about the software projects he thinks are more interesting today:

    think Diaspora could become an important development. On top of that, we need to make it possible to use a completely free software smartphone “.

    Even more interesting is your opinion on Debian 6.0 Squeeze and the fact that it includes a kernel totally free to give the option for users to have a Debian much more “pure” . It seems that not even that happy to Stallman:

    In order to be qualified as a free distribution, Debian should remove all references to sections and contrib nonfree of packages and their servers free . (Many contrib packages only serve to help install non-free software distributed separately from Debian). From what I know, Debian has no plans to do that. I would like them.

    Stallman also cites

    Mono – should not write in C # , logical solution to avoid any legal implications and patent with Microsoft, and issues such as the confusion that some have with the term Free Software ( Free Software) and Open (Open Source).

    However

    final curiosity is the talk of the web pages that Stallman visit more often than fsf.org or gnu.org. And that’s where RMS gives a surprising answer:

    traditional way I see web pages is to send a message to an address that runs a script and I forwarded the page content. This method works when collecting specific pages people I recommended, but not for sailing. To navigate need to use another person’s machine. I do occasionally, but I can not see a website as normal with that method.

    However, even if I could navigate a web site daily, would not have the time to do it by myself. I can hardly with the workload I have. Instead I ask volunteers to navigate certain sites regularly, and then mailed me articles they think might interest me.

    So Stallman would have to see if he read his own interview. And let alone know MuyLinux )
