Makes about four years that we launched our vision-phones, tablets, PCs, TVs, and build a design team that understands the challenge “, Shuttleworth said. “ The result you see is really elegant. This [tablet version] is the missing link , the bridge between what we show six weeks ago and the PC. In a sense, we have been hiding. You can go back to 2009, see things that landed in the distro then and see now why these pieces have come together “.

On the security of Ubuntu for tablets highlights the full disk encryption , plus encryption separately for each system user . Also sees it as a more reliable option for BYOD phenomenon (using personal devices at work), especially at a time when “ malware on Android is a real problem and this is a much more clean “he says.

the question of when the market will see the first models of smartphone and tablet with Ubuntu, surprise, no specific dates or so: “I think phones in January, April tablets “, indicates Shuttleworth, speaking of January and April 2014 . “We have launched [system] for the four devices Nexus and the community is already working in some 20 ports, some for older devices “.

Finally, Shuttleworth is asked how many downloads have had the system “s é in the first six hours we reached the 75,000 downloads, which is fine ” replies. “ We have much work to do, but we have some great partners back and the team is very motivated. We have the opportunity to profoundly change the historical balance of Linux on the PC. Is to is better than Windows 8 as experience and that is not crazy, serious people in the industry are saying ‘that’s better than Windows 8′ [ in tablets], concludes.

All you were yesterday ‘domingueo’ you will have discovered this morning that Firefox OS is back on the front pages technology . Right. Mozilla presented yesterday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (MWC 2013) several models of smartphones with its new operating system installed, and the truth is that they look good and it seems, a good start insured. Can we say the same for Ubuntu?

 FOS 500x357 Firefox OS will have it easier than Ubuntu

Failing to see Canonical conference, which hopefully has some surprises, Mozilla came yesterday wrapped by Telefónica, which is preparing to sell more of the first smartphones with Firefox OS in Spain. But are 18 operators around the world have confirmed their support for the system , which already has big names as far as applications are concerned.

The question is, is there enough for many roosters roost? Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry OS … Ubuntu and Firefox (not to mention Jolla or Tizen to be determined). Is there room for everyone? According to Cesar Alierta, chairman of Telefónica, any, and the figures could not be more emphatic in this regard: only 16% of mobile phones worldwide are smartphones , so that much cake to be distributed.

So why is going to be easier than Ubuntu Firefox OS? Simply by niche target market , the low end of , that after the order has been decapitated Symbian, Android although it holds in that niche position getting stronger.

Conversely, Ubuntu commitment to high-end , the spread between Android and iOS, leaving the crumbs to BlackBerry and Microsoft. That struggle is much more risky and bitter, I have prepared agreements Canonical weight, or your system may be little more than another Android ROM.

important background is MeeGo, even under the protection of two giants like Intel and Nokia, it did not take off.

fans would audit WiFi issues at hand have very specific Linux solutions, and one of the most popular distributions in this field is clearly Spanish development. This is Wifislax, whose developers have announced a new version , Wifislax 4.3 , with improvements coming very, very relevant.

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.

Definitely a fantastic job of the team that is developing one of the distributions audit WiFi most powerful and comprehensive worldwide .

You can already download

Wifislax 4.3 from the official download link, and as indicated by the authors, is a good idea to check the MD5 hash of the ISO image to not use unofficial images, which in this case is 64b1a02c1561c35c538ea61891241625.

our fellow MuyComputer point, Windows 8 had surpassed Linux in market share in personal computer operating systems of consumption, according to data from research firm NetMarketShare.

 Linux windows 8 500x351 The Linux share is already lower than that of Windows 8

Despite the lukewarm reception of Windows 8, the system would have needed little over a month to overtake Linux .

Windows8 Linux 2 Linux's share is now lower than that of Windows 8

should point out that we speak only of ‘PCs classic’ because if you add tablets and smartphones as does a report from Goldman Sachs, Microsoft operating systems would ‘only’ 20 percent market share , with Linux as a great ruler (thanks to Android) followed by Apple developments.
