Something new in my programming vocabulary is python language. This language natively work in Linux, but as if you know, this language is multi cross platform. It can be run in Windows, Mac, Symbian, n others. First I use gedit as editor to run this script, but it is more advantage if i can use a nice RAD for python. After googling and an advice from my friend, I found good RAD is Glade-3. You can install it in your ubuntu with this command :

Popularity Google Chrome is definitely increasing, although so far it is only available for Windows OS and Linux and Mac users await the launch of Google Chrome for Linux and Mac OS. And the good news is Google Chrome is now available for Linux OS users.

This browser's status is still the name of Pre alpha browser Chromium, an open source engine behind Google Chrome project. Chromium for Linux have facilities-based interface GTS (mediator) and the appearance of work such as the Windows interface.

Because the status is still pre Alpha, chromium for linux this does not have many features that are important such as a bookmark manager, tab, and not in the trial and may not be functioning at all, but the PPA provides instructions to install.

Ubuntu daily builds of the Chromium browser.
The PPA is maintained by a bot, so it contains completely untested builds, mostly useful to track regressions or if you are curious, or just brave.

The package is still a work-in-progress, so is Chromium, please be patient.

UNETBOOTIN - best installation ubuntu in flashdisk / harddisk


Some days ago I have trouble in one PC which old and never use again. Actually, this PC have many feature in there when its time, but now this PC have a significant troubleshooting. I don't know maybe because some file system corrupt, so I could not booting Windows XP from this PC. The other problem is CD Player in this PC was damaged. So no option for installing new fresh Windows. I think I will make it for Ubuntu 8.10. When searching from live CD, I see an application "Make USB Startupdisk" an try it with my flash disk. Before that I try to install it in my Hard Disk External, but I don't know why, it can not read my HD. So I install it in my flashdisk. Than i try in my PC, but it seem not workin, there an error "Missing System Operation", so I try with another flash disk (coz i think maybe there some corrupt file).
But here i know something in internet, there are many bug in this application, so I try another alternatif. In ubuntu document explain another application called UNetbootin. I try to install it, and ta da.. it recognize my HD, and when I try to install in the trouble PC, it can startup and easily booting. So i can install my ubuntu. Oh there another feature in this application, you can install with an iso from another linux distribution, or you can also use option download directly from distro server.
So if you want to install your ubuntu (or other distro) in your hard disk or flash disk, I suggest you need UNetbootin to used. You can download it from this URL http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
