Ulteo Virtual Desktop: your Linux Applications on Windows


not long ago was unveiled the new project of Ex-Madrake Guy Gaël Duval, in which he claimed he was going to achieve extreme simplicity in a new operating system and break the barriers for end users. Sometime Gaël was intended only to develop a Web operating system, knowing that there were some present in the market that have passed through the hands of users unnoticed. However, the project was aimed to achieve a product that offers the people of Ulteo, Ulteo Online Desktop
This "Web Desktop" can find many of our favorite applications like OpenOffice, The Gimp, Kopete, Firefox, etc. . Notably, this Web OS is based on java, so you must have installed the Sun VM on your computer and on the other hand also I must clarify that being a web operating system, the response time not very good, but it is the best example of a system of this type.

Here I leave some screenprints of my Ulteo Online Desktop session

On the other hand, another product that has caught much attention, and which I decided to spend some time, was Ulteo Virtual Desktop. This software allows to launch applications, GNU / Linux system Windows XP or Vista. The applications run nearly as fast as any Microsoft application Nativi of enabling users to work with them regardless of operating system.
According to the website of the project, these are some of the applications supported by Ulteo Virtual Desktop:

  • Firefox web browser enabled with Flash & Java
  • The full OpenOffice.org office suite That Can deal with your MS
  • Kpdf Office documents to deal with your PDF documents
  • Kopete: the multi-Instant Messaging Software That Supports MSN and Skype
  • Other protocols
  • Thunderbird + Enigmail (so you CAN encrypt your emails!)
  • Gimp and Digikam to manage your pictures
  • Inkscape and Scribus to create great graphics and newspapers
  • and ... Many Others!
and equipment requirements are:

Ulteo Virtual Desktop Requires a PC (x86-based) with a modern 32-bit CPU and at least 512MB RAM. At least 4 GB of free HD space is required. A PDF reader is needed. For a Better experience, we recommend a DualCore CPU and 1GB RAM. Ulteo Virtual Desktop has-been tested successfully on Windows XP and Windows Vista (32-bit only for now).



Another interesting product of this project is Ulteo Documents Synchronizer allows us to make backups of your files online and have them available at any time.

To conclude we can say that the Ulteo team is trying to take his place in the market for simple and reliable Linux solutions, providing basic utilities for every user and other aggregates that can provide a complete solution regardless of whether our system is operating Linux, MS or a simple Web Browser.

Why Doe My Scalp Has Pimple

Do psychopaths use Slackware?

got this news from our friends VivaLinux.com.ar
worth noting that I am at rest a Slackware fan, but it was a very interesting news.


From Brazil the blogosphere reports on a sensational story that appeared on Time H site that says the police caught a murderer "coward" for a young (16) in Nova Iguacu "hidden in the house of his parents." The criminal then confessed that he stabbed his victim at the end of last February and then played with the body "a bit." He also reportedly said that he drank the blood the unfortunate teenager.

But of course, most importantly for this story is the Linux distribution of choice for this psycho ...

OpenOffice 2.4 - Tested by AL3




We have heard much in recent weeks on Openoffice 2.4 and after the release of the new release of our favorite office suite, I decided to download and try it on my laptop.

below details the installation steps should be performed to reach fruition.

The manors to install Ubuntu 7.10 are:


has listings First check in synaptic package in one of their repositories or by

# apt-cache show
OpenOffice 2.4 In pregnant
only remains to remove all packages related to Openoffice 2.0 and then install the new version.

If not that simple, take the following steps:

1) Download the required package for your distribution from the following Link (English version).

2) Uninstall all packages from the previous version (from Synaptic or console).

3) Unzip the downloaded package (tar xvzf package_name)

4) Enter OOH680_m12_native_packed-1_es.9286/DEBS directory (The directory is generated after decompression the above)

5) Install all packages issue the following statement

# sudo dpkg-i * deb

This will install all packages. deb in that directory listings.

6) Finally in the directory OOH680_m12_native_packed-1_es.9286/DEBS/desktop-integration /

forfeited

# sudo dpkg-i * deb

This latest package will allow us to configure the Ubuntu apliaciones menu.

After the suite fully installed Openoffice 2.4, I recommend that from synaptic seek to have installed JRE version. To run smoothly Openoffice should install the JRE version 1.6.

Now to try our new purchase!

NOTE: If running OpenOffice shows you an error message of the Java virtual machine, make a click on "OK", this will allow them to enter the application, then go to tools => OpenOffice => Java and there select the previously installed JRE or held.

For the performance, note that has improved dramatically, the Execution / Openoffice any package is almost instantaneous from the 30 or 45 seconds that lingered in version 2.0
have added several new features and has worked on aesthetics applications.
Integration with GoogleDocs (downloading the corresponding Pluging) works great as several other plugins as OpenGL transitions gives us Impress.

To conclude we can say that this new version of OpenOffice has left his predecessors in the past and has overcome, notably, other office suites.
