Lubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin is finaly here. -  Lubuntu  is a lightweight Linux operating system based on Ubuntu but using the LXDE desktop environment in place of Ubuntu's Unity shell and GNOME desktop. LXDE is touted as being "lighter, less resource hungry and more energy-efficient". Lubuntu received official recognition as a formal member of the Ubuntu family on 11 May 2011, commencing with Lubuntu 11.10, which was released on 13 October 2011 Like Xubuntu, Lubuntu is intended to be a low-system-requirement, low-RAM environment for netbooks, mobile devices and older PCs - but tests show it can use half as much RAM as Xubuntu, making it an attractive choice for installing on older hardware being refurbished for charitable distribution. The name Lubuntu is a portmanteau of LXDE and Ubuntu.LXDE stands for Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, while the word Ubuntu means "humanity towards others" in the Zulu and Xhosa languages. Features: Based on the lightweight LXDE desktop environment Pcmanfm...(linuxlandit)

Windows Neptune is the project of developing the most famous of Microsoft operating systems that... -  Neptune was the codename for a version of the Windows operating system that was under development by Microsoft during 1999. It was based on Windows 2000 and was scheduled to be the first consumer version of Windows to be built on NT code, to replace the Windows 9x series. In early 2000, Microsoft merged the team working on Neptune with that developing Windows Odyssey, the upgrade to Windows 2000 for business customers. The combined team worked on a new project codenamed Whistler, which was released at the end of 2001 as Windows XP. In the meantime, Microsoft released another home user DOS-based operating system called Windows Me. Only one alpha build of Neptune, 5111, was released to testers under a non-disclosure agreement, and later made its way to various beta collectors' sites and virtual museums. Also, there were at least two other builds, which were Build 5000, which was released to very few people, and Build 5022. Build 5000 is very heavily debated. In the early...(worldofwindows)

Displaying weather and system information on a GNOME Desktop with gDesklets. -  gDesklets is a system for bringing mini programs (desklets), such as weather forecasts, news tickers, system information displays, or music player controls, onto your desktop, where they are sitting there in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. The possibilities are really endless and they are always there to serve you whenever you need them, just one key-press away. The system is not restricted to one desktop environment, but currently works on most of the modern Unix desktops (including GNOME, KDE, Xfce). gDesklets is a GNOME program which provides the architecture for small applets (desktop widgets) to be placed on top of the user's desktop. It is comparable to other desktop widget programs. The applets placed on the desktop are meant to be quick ways for the user to retrieve information and not get in the way of normal activity. The small programs that are run inside gDesklets are called desklets and are small Python applets loaded into the...(ubuntulandblogspot)

Nvidia’s GTX 680 emphasizes efficiency, pours on the speed -  Nvidia’s GTX 680 emphasizes efficiency, pours on the speed Nvidia takes the wraps off Kepler, its next-generation GPU, and quite possibly the greatest step forward for graphics processing since it unveiled the G80 in November 2006.  The first desktop card out of the gate is the GTX 680. Unlike the 5xx series, which were based on a refined version of the Fermi architecture Nvidia debuted back in 2010, Kepler uses a new GK104 GPU — and its design is a sharp departure from Nvidia’s previous architectures. Over the past five years, Nvidia’s GPU strategy has more-or-less amounted to “Everything+Kitchen Sink and we’ll sort things out when we do the refresh.” After the disastrous debut of its R600 architecture in 2006, AMD adopted a strategy of building smaller, mid-range oriented parts and doubling them up to address the high end of the market — Nvidia, in contrast, adamantly stuck to its monolithic guns. Until Kepler. The transistor counts below are from Nvidia; Kepler’s die...(worldofwindows)
