I'd also like to thank all the people who've been sending us well wishes on our third birthday edition. Those messages really make it all worth while and help realise that even us non-programmers really can help the community. Ubuntu is a complete operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. I hope you'll all be buying the latest issue of Whether at home, school or when it's released in your part of the work, Ubuntu contains all the world.

  • Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 Bit!
    Welcome to Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 Bit! What is Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7? Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 is a full replacement for Microsoft©s Windows and Macintosh©s Mac OS for any Intel based PC. Of course we recommend you check the system requirements first to make sure your computer meets our standards. The 64 bit version of Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 works faster than the 32 bit version on a 64 bit PC however the 32 bit version has support for Frets On Fire and a few other 32 bit applications that won©t run on 64 bit. We have worked hard to make sure that you can justify using 64 bit without sacrificing too much compatibility. I would say that Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 64 bit is compatible with 99.9% of all the GNU/Linux applications out there that will work with Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 bit. Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 is based on Ubuntu 8.04 but includes KDE 3.5 as the default interface and has the Mac4Lin Gnome interface for Mac users. What is Different Than Windows and Mac? You see with Microsoft©s Windows OS you have to defragment your computer, use an anti-virus, and run chkdsk or a check disk manually or automatically once every 3 months in order to maintain a normal Microsoft Windows environment. With Macintosh©s Mac OS you don©t have to worry about fragmentation but you do have to worry about some viruses and you still should do a check disk on your system every once in a while or whatever is equivalent to that in Microsoft©s Windows OS.

The tips are fun and the hope of discov- ering hidden gems makes it a worthwhile task. John Southern Former editor of Linux Magazine I enjoyed Ubuntu Kung Fu and learned some new things. I would rec- ommend this book—nice tips and a lot of fun to be had. Carthik Sharma Creator of the Ubuntu Blog (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com) Wow! There are some great tips here! I have used Ubuntu since April 2005, starting with version 5.04. I found much in this book to inspire me and to teach me, and it answered lingering questions I didn’t know I had. The book is a good resource that I will gladly recommend to both newcomers and veteran users.

  • Performance Assessment of Linux Kernels with PREEMPT RT on ARM-Based Embedded Devices
    electronics Article Performance Assessment of Linux Kernels with PREEMPT_RT on ARM-Based Embedded Devices George K. Adam 1,* , Nikos Petrellis 2 and Lambros T. Doulos 3 1 CSLab Computer Systems Laboratory, Department of Digital Systems, University of Thessaly, 41500 Larisa, Greece 2 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Peloponnese, 26334 Patra, Greece; [email protected] 3 School of Applied Arts, Hellenic Open University, 26335 Patra, Greece; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-241-0684-596 Abstract: This work investigates the real-time performance of Linux kernels and distributions with a PREEMPT_RT real-time patch on ARM-based embedded devices. Experimental measurements, which are mainly based on heuristic methods, provide novel insights into Linux real-time perfor- mance on ARM-based embedded devices (e.g., BeagleBoard and RaspberryPi). Evaluations of the Linux real-time performance are based on specific real-time software measurement modules, devel- oped for this purpose, and the use of a standard benchmark tool, cyclictest. Software modules were designed upon the introduction of a new response task model, an innovative aspect of this work. Measurements include the latency of response tasks at user and kernel space, the response on the exe- cution of periodic tasks, the maximum sustained frequency and general latency performance metrics. The results show that in such systems the PREEMPT_RT patch provides more improved real-time performance than the default Linux kernels. The latencies and particularly the worst-case latencies are reduced with real-time support, thus making such devices running Linux with PREEMPT_RT Citation: Adam, G.K.; Petrellis, N.; more appropriate for use in time-sensitive embedded control systems and applications.

  • Translate's Localization Guide
    Translate’s Localization Guide Release 0.9.0 Translate Jun 26, 2020 Contents 1 Localisation Guide 1 2 Glossary 191 3 Language Information 195 i ii CHAPTER 1 Localisation Guide The general aim of this document is not to replace other well written works but to draw them together. So for instance the section on projects contains information that should help you get started and point you to the documents that are often hard to find. The section of translation should provide a general enough overview of common mistakes and pitfalls. We have found the localisation community very fragmented and hope that through this document we can bring people together and unify information that is out there but in many many different places. The one section that we feel is unique is the guide to developers – they make assumptions about localisation without fully understanding the implications, we complain but honestly there is not one place that can help give a developer and overview of what is needed from them, we hope that the developer section goes a long way to solving that issue. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide one reference for localisers. You will find lots of information on localising and packaging on the web but not a single resource that can guide you. Most of the information is also domain specific ie it addresses KDE, Mozilla, etc. We hope that this is more general. This document also goes beyond the technical aspects of localisation which seems to be the domain of other lo- calisation documents.
