Ubuntu v9.10 is a fast and stable install
Installed Ubuntu v9.10 and found no problems. There are some changes to the GDM login themes. They basically eliminated them. However, the OS seems speedier, especially due to Firefox v3.5.3. I installed Pidgin back. I still prefer this over Empathy so far.

Firefox v3.6 Promises Improved Speed & Look
Firefox 3.6 public beta slated for 10/14, promises faster startups, loads
Mozilla's stated goal for its next version of Firefox, first and foremost, is a perceivable improvement in the time it takes to do things, not just render pages. We saw a big performance jump in JavaScript execution and page rendering in Firefox 3.5; but for 3.6, the developers want to apply the same level of improvement to responsiveness and process activation.
Although all Mozilla daily builds -- even the "private" alphas -- are publicly downloadable, the public may be formally invited to render its opinions on version 3.6 on Wednesday, October 14. That's the decision made during a Mozilla planning meeting Monday.
Originally, Mozilla wanted to have 3.6 release candidates available by this time; the public beta process was supposed to have been in full-swing by now. In the interim, the organization has been posting daily builds labeled "beta previews" instead of "alphas" or "alpha previews" -- almost ready to be not ready for prime time.
Still, the new browser has an opportunity to make a public show of its everyday performance improvements, including in departments such as page loading. Betanews tests on recent daily builds of Firefox 3.6 show just over 40% speed gains in that department. Our recent CRPI index for a preview build of 3.6 Alpha 2 is 8.67, versus 6.80 for the stable Firefox 3.5.3.
According to the minutes of Monday's planning meeting, released yesterday, engineers in charge of the "Namoroka" development track (where Firefox 3.6 currently resides) plan to freeze code development on the current "beta preview" sometime this week. A daily build of 3.6 was released at about 9:30 EDT this morning, and there's no word as to whether it's the last build before the planned freeze.
There is no formal release date for the finalized version 3.6 just yet. However, a newly published list of goals for upcoming releases places 3.6 release as sometime within the fourth quarter of the year, with a promise to be "less crashy than Firefox 3.5." Also on that goal list is Mozilla's intention to produce a public alpha of version 3.7, the focus of which will be a completely revised theme for the front end. A recently published Mozilla page on the topic now points to a "firm initial direction" for a new design, which makes more liberal use of aesthetic features such as transparency and dimensionality.
A Mozilla artist's mockup of the likely design direction for the new theme of Firefox 3.7.
"Firefox feels dated and behind on Windows," the design team writes. "Especially Vista and Windows 7. These issues include absence of Glass, anemic purple toolbar color on Vista, tall and bulky UI footprint, element overload, inconsistent toolbar icon usage/style, lack of a tactile look & feel and perhaps too great of a divergence between the look on XP and Vista/7." The team aims to overcome these perceived deficiencies by reducing the number of buttons -- for example, by converging Stop and Reload into one button -- and adopting neutral tones and glass textures to enable the application to blend better with the desktop and the user's choice of color themes. The same degree of transparency may not be available in version 3.7 for Mac or Linux yet, but the design team aims to implement similar aesthetics for non-Windows users "going forward."
October 14 is also the scheduled date for the first public betas of version 3.5.4, the next round of bug fixes to the stable release.

Shiki Colors Theme - Linux Mint Inspired
The Shiki themes have been incorporated into the standard Ubuntu builds, called New Wave (grey). The Mint distribution has capitalized on this rich look in their latest Mint 7 XFCE release. I'm using the Shiki Wise (lime green) theme here. Enjoy.

Hulu TV Viewer Comes To Linux
Oct. 16, 2009
Web video site Hulu has released a Linux version of its Hulu Desktop. Hulu Desktop for Linux is optimized for Ubuntu 9.04 and Fedora 11, offers search and playback controls, and includes publisher tools for locating and integrating content, says Hulu.
The Hulu Player
After the release of Windows and Mac versions of Hulu Desktop earlier this year, Linux support was the number one requested feature, says the company. The desktop application provides a "lean-back viewing" interface to its Hulu.com online video service, which includes TV shows, movies, and a wide variety of video clips.
The Linux version has been designed for Ubuntu 9.04 and Fedora 11, but any distribution using glib 2.16, GTK+ 2.12, and LIRC 0.8.2 should be compatible, says the company. Hulu also requires Adobe Flash Player 9.0.124 or higher. Ubuntu 8.04 and Fedora 9 have also been tested as compatible, and the company expects to support other distributions in the future.
Minimum hardware requirements listed for the application include a system with an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz CPU and at least 2GB of RAM. Hulu Desktop for Linux supports input from hundreds of infrared remote controls using the open source LIRC package, says Hulu. Keyboard and mouse controls are also provided.
Hulu enables browsing of TV shows and movies by alphabetical order, network, studio, or Hulu channel, says the company. Personalization features are also provided. The new publisher tools include keyword and time-period searches, as well as "copy embed code" boxes.
Until now, Linux users who wanted to watch Hulu without using a web browser required the Boxee social media center software running on Ubuntu.
Availability
Hulu Desktop for Linux is now available for free download for 32- and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu 9.04 and Fedora 11, here:
http://www.hulu.com/labs/hulu-desktop-linux
More information on the publisher tools may be found here.

Firefox FoxTabs add-in gives Safari-like Gallery View
One of the great features of the Firefox browser are the many add-ins available. One new add-in is called FoxTabs. It simulates the web page gallery view of Apple's Safari browser. You can display 3 or 20 pages in multiple formats. For those of us running Firefox in Linux, this is nice eye candy. Below is a screenshot. FoxTabs is available from the Firefox add-ins page. Very nice.

Ubuntu Dust Theme
I revisited the Ubuntu Dust Theme with great results. This is a nice cross between dark and OSX type themes. If anything, it keeps things looking fresh. It also includes a Firefox Proto Dust skin. You can get the Ubuntu Dust Theme below:

Linux Mint Xfce Gloria
I've recently returned back to Linux Mint Xfce Gloria and have been pleasantly surprised. The color theme is similar to my current Shiki Black and Green. Based on Ubuntu v9.04 everything works great right off the Live CD and install. It also has the familiar Synaptic Package Manager and simple menu navigation. Mint improves on the Synaptic Software Manager by including screen-shots of the applications you want to download and install. Very nice indeed. Firefox 3.0 and Thunderbird are included along with all restricted codecs and drivers. Because the Xfce window manager does not use much memory, it is a great distro for older computers. I'm running it on a Compaq Deskpro Pentium-3 733-mhz and it is really fast and responsive, yet have all the features of Ubuntu v9.04. Below is another positive review. You can download the ISO at www.distrowatch.com Enjoy.
Linux Mint 7 (Gloria) RC: A Review
It’s been a while since I did one of these, for one because they’re time consuming, and also because after you’ve done a couple of reviews, it’s like you have nothing new left to say. These days, it’s rare that a Linux distribution is anything else than a different repackaging of traditional open source software. When Linux Mint first appeared, it seemed that it was nothing more than “Ubuntu with codecs”, but that doesn’t explain it’s popularity (at the moment of this writing, Linux Mint is third in the rankings, after Ubuntu and OpenSuse, but before established distributions like Fedora, Debian and Mandriva).
The new Linux Mint Release Candidate, named Gloria, is based on the fresh Ubuntu 9.04. but why would anyone choose it over it’s “parent”?
Installation
Well, it can’t be the installation, because apart from the theme it’s exactly the same…which is a good thing. Ubuntu’s installer works well, is easy, and fast. In fact, the less said about the installer, the better. These days, installing Linux is as easy as clicking “Next, next, next, done”, and there’s hardly any configuration needed after install. Gone are the days where I had to edit xorg.conf or /etc/fstab to get a system working. You install, you boot into the new OS, and that’s it. Everything’s done for you, and everything works. Let’s move on.
Look and Feel
Probably the most noticable change from Ubuntu is the look of Linux Mint. I can live with the orange and brown, but if you browse certain internet forums (here’s a tip: don’t), it’s obvious that some people don’t, and would rather walk hot coals and drink boiling water than look at a default Ubuntu install.
Apart from the green, minty theme, Mint drops the top panel in favour of a more traditional (read: Windows) layout and menu, which may not be a bad move. After all, it’s what most people are familiar with.
Mint: Menu
Mint: Menu
Looks can be debated, but I believe Mint looks absolutely gorgeous. The combination of black and green works very well, and I love the wallpaper, which features a Mint logo behind a rained-on window. The black menus work well too: they look good without being unreadable. All in all, I can’t find much reason to change the default look, but if you want to, all the other Mint themes are available.
Mint: Theme
Mint: Theme
In fact, the only hiccup here is the OpenOffice theme, which looks very…orange. I don’t know if OOo will still use the Ubuntu theme in the final version of Gloria, or if a true Mint theme will be provided. As it is, it rather stands out, and not in a good way.
Applications
Mint comes with all the Usual Suspects: Firefox, Thunderbird, Rhythmbox, Brasero, Mplayer, Pidgin, Transmission, and a selection of other interesting but not unusual software, like Gnome Do, Tomboy and Giver.
Far more interesting are the applications which are unique to mint. For starters, there’s mintMenu, which to me is the KDE4 menu done right. It offers access to Places, System and Applications without taking up too much space, it has find as you type search (so you never actually have to scroll through menus to find the application you want to start), and it even offers options to install any software you’re looking for but haven’t installed. For example, if I feel like playing Battle for Wesnoth, which isn’t installed by default, I just open the menu, type ‘wesnoth’, and I’m offered with four choices: Search Portal for “wesnoth” (which opens the software portal on the LInux Mint website), Search repositories for ‘wesnoth’ (which does exactly what it says), Show package ‘wesnoth’ (which shows the output of ‘apt search wesnoth’), and Install package ‘wesnoth’ (which is pretty obvious). It all works perfectly, and it’s a very easy way to install new software.
Mint: Looking for Wesnoth?
Mint: Looking for Wesnoth?
Other mintSofware includes mintUpdate, which performs the same function as Ubuntu’s Update Notifier, but gives updates a grade from 1 to 5, with 1 being the most critical/recommended, mintBackup, which lets you take a backup of your home directory, mintNanny, which lets you create a list of blocked websites, mintInstall, which combines every way of installing software on a debian system and combines them in an attractive GUI, and mintDesktop, which provides an easy way to configure your desktop without entering the juggernaut that is gconf-editor. All of these tools are original and provide useful features. For example, mintInstall downloads a screenshot of an application you might want to install, a feature which has since been copied by Synaptic.
Problems
None whatsoever. I’ve been using the RC of Gloria for a couple of days now, and I haven’t encountered a single problem. Everything works out of the box, including Flash, youtube, Apple trailers, mp3 playback, video playback, installing software…everything I tried to do worked as intended. Of course, Ubuntu deserves credit here too, as it’s their solid base which makes this possible.
Conclusion
Even if Linux Mint was nothing else than Ubuntu with a different look, it would have its followers, since it looks just so good. But Linux Mint does more than just provide its own theme, it tries to rethink Ubuntu’s interface, not drastically but subly, which together with added codecs for multimedia layback, should make Mint easier and more logical for new users or Windows converts. As far as I’m concerned, they’ve succeeded. A big thumbs up to everyone who made this wonderful OS possible.
