  • Linux Foundation to Host Meego Workgroup
    Linux Foundation To Host MeeGo Workgroup New Open Source Software Platform Backed by Intel and Nokia will Power the Next Generation of Computing Devices SAN FRANCISCO, February 15, 2010 – The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced it will host the MeeGo project, the open source software platform for the next generation of computing devices. MeeGo combines Intel’s Moblin™ and Nokia’s Maemo projects into one Linux-based platform. MeeGo, announced today in a joint release by Intel and Nokia, will be deployed across many computing device types - including pocketable mobile computers, netbooks, tablets, mediaphones, connected TVs and in-vehicle infotainment systems, and brings together the leaders in computing and mobile communications as the project’s backers. MeeGo is designed for cross-device, cross-architecture computing and is built from the ground up for a new class of powerful computing devices. The workgroup will be hosted by the Linux Foundation as a fully open source project, encouraging community contributions in line with the best practices of the open source development model. The Linux Foundation expects MeeGo to be adopted widely by device manufacturers, network operators, software vendors and developers across multiple device types and for many organizations and developers to participate in the workgroup. “With MeeGo, you have the world’s leader in computing – Intel – uniting with the world’s leader in communications – Nokia – in a true open source project hosted at the Linux Foundation,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at the Linux Foundation. “MeeGo has been built from the ground up for rich, mobile devices and will deliver choice to consumers without lock-in.

  • 1 Sistem Operasi
    Sistem operasi - operating system - OS adalah seperangkat program yang mengelola sumber daya perangkat keras komputer, dan menyediakan layanan umum untuk aplikasi perangkat lunak. Sistem operasi adalah jenis yang paling penting dari perangkat lunak sistem dalam sistem komputer. Tanpa sistem operasi, pengguna tidak dapat menjalankan program aplikasi pada komputer mereka, kecuali program aplikasi boot diri. Waktu-berbagi jadwal tugas sistem operasi untuk penggunaan yang efisien dari sistem dan juga dapat mencakup akuntansi untuk alokasi biaya waktu prosesor, penyimpanan massa, cetak, dan sumber daya lainnya. Untuk fungsi-fungsi perangkat keras seperti sebagai masukan dan keluaran dan alokasi memori, sistem operasi bertindak sebagai perantara antara program aplikasi dan perangkat keras komputer, meskipun kode aplikasi biasanya dieksekusi langsung oleh perangkat keras dan seringkali akan menghubungi OS atau terputus oleh itu. Sistem operasi yang ditemukan pada hampir semua perangkat yang berisi komputer-dari ponsel dan konsol permainan video untuk superkomputer dan server web. Contoh populer sistem operasi modern termasuk Linux, Android, iOS, Mac OS X, dan Microsoft Windows. Pendahuluan Biasanya, istilah Sistem Operasi sering ditujukan kepada semua perangkat lunak yang masuk dalam satu paket dengan sistem komputer sebelum aplikasi-aplikasi perangkat lunak terinstal. Sistem operasi adalah perangkat lunak sistem yang bertugas untuk melakukan kontrol dan manajemen perangkat keras serta operasi-operasi dasar sistem, termasuk menjalankan perangkat lunak aplikasi seperti program-program pengolah kata dan peramban web. Secara umum, Sistem Operasi adalah perangkat lunak pada lapisan pertama yang ditempatkan pada memori komputer pada saat komputer dinyalakan. Sedangkan software-software lainnya dijalankan setelah Sistem Operasi berjalan, dan Sistem Operasi akan melakukan layanan inti umum untuk software-software itu.

    Chapter 1 Meet the Eee PC In This Chapter ▶ Not your average laptop ▶ Popular Eee PC misconceptions ▶ Reviewing Eee PC models ▶ Selecting an Eee PC ▶ Purchasing an Eee PC his chapter introduces you to the ASUS Eee PC. (Eee PC is pronounced Twith a single E, not multiple EEEs, as in “Eeek, a mouse!”) If you’re won- dering where all those Es came from, it’s from a marketing campaign that states the computer is “Easy to learn, easy to work, and easy to play.” In this chapter, I tell you what the Eee PC is — and just as important, what it isn’t. I then list available models, describe their specifications, and conclude by giving you tips on selecting and purchasing an Eee PC. Eee PC: Not Your Average Laptop The Eee PC (see Figure 1-1) has been called a mini-laptop, a subnotebook, a Mobile Internet Device (MID), and a netbook (a catchy marketing buzzword for small, Internet-centric laptops). Whatever you call it, the Eee PC is a shrunk- down, lightweightCOPYRIGHTED laptop that has these keyMATERIAL features: ✓ Small — At just a bit over two pounds and roughly the size of this book, the 7-inch and 8.9-inch screen models are designed to be go-anywhere, do-anything personal computers. To fit in such a small package, keys on the Eee PC are smaller than those found on a typical laptop keyboard — right around 83 percent of normal. After you get used to the small size it’s possible to touch type with some practice.
