Mediafire Jump on Cloud Storage Bandwagon, Offer Linux Uploader
How does free, unlimited cloud storage sound? Well former file-hosting service MediaFire are offering just that, as they seek to reposition themselves as a key player in the ‘cloud storage’ market. When compared to the free 5GB offered by Google Drive and Ubuntu One it’s a compelling lure – but what are the ‘catches’? ‘No Difference’ I’ll [...]
Ubuntu 10.04 – 12.04 Upgrade – How Well Does it Go?
In the two-short years between Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04 an entire groundswell has occurred on the Ubuntu desktop, and in the wider development landscape in general.
So just well does a direct upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 12.04 go?
Ubuntu 12.04 Released
After six months of development the latest version of Ubuntu has been released.
Head on inside for the low-down on what’s new – complete with pictures, video and download link.
First Novel Hits Ubuntu Software Center
The first novel has gone on sale in the Ubuntu Software Center.
‘ZHackers: Volume One’ tells the story of three geeks facing a Zombie apocalypse with nothing to defend themselves other than their wits.
Author, David Jordan, has chosen to publish the title without DRM and license it under a Creative Commons license.
CoreBreach – The Best Racing Game on Ubuntu?
I am rubbish at racing games. Pole position in awfulness. I can just about manage a middling existence on Mario Kart, but that’s about it. So quite how I came to not only be addicted to a proper sci-fi themed racing game, but actually become rather good at it, is still a mystery to me, but [...]
We Review Open-Source RTS Game 0 A.D.
0.A.D is a completely open-source RTS available for Linux, Mac and Windows. The game, which is in heavy development, currently sits at the Alpha 8 junction. Undeterred by the development nature I took the title for a spin…
The Ben NanoNote – The World’s Smallest Linux Laptop?
Measuring at less than 100mm wide and 17mm thick with a dinky 3″ screen, the Ben NanoNote might just be the world’s smallest Linux laptop for the traditional definition of the word.
While pulling this out in public might get you a few odd looks, the Ben NanoNote actually runs a relatively feature rich piece of software called OpenWRT. It also happens to boast entirely open hardware and software, which not only makes it crazy small, but also Stallman-approved.
The Ubuntu Vodafone WebBook “Disappoints” Reviewer
The Ubuntu-powered Vodafone WebBook has been out in South Africa for a few months but little opinion on the device has appeared online. Or so I thought. Having exhausted my own avenues trying to get hold of one of the devices to review for OMG! Ubuntu! I was pointed in the direction of a write-up of the [...]
Is This the Best Software Store on Linux?
We take a look at the Linux Deepin Software Centre – an application that is as user-friendly as it is beautiful.
Taking a Glance at Ryzom the Science-Fantasy MMORPG
Although Ryzom has had a native Linux client for over a year now the game hasn’t gained much respect from Ubuntu gamers and with all honesty that is no reflection on the quality of this highly addictive MMORPG. I have always been a big fan of MMORPGs and my gaming experience on Linux has always [...]
MemoryOwl HD – A Memory Game That’s Better Than Those You Remember
Being the owner of a pretty poor short-term memory I wasn’t too excited to see a game called ‘Memory Owl’ land in my review queue.
But after playing it for a while I have to say: Memory Owl HD is pretty damn memorable for a number of reasons.
Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 1 Released
The first alpha release in the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS release cycle is now available for download.
Installing the Alpha release is not recommended due to its early yet rapid developmental stage.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is scheduled for release in April 26th 2012.
Desura’s Gem
Recently, the fine folk here at OMG! Ubuntu! shared the news that Desura had been released for Linux.
The gamer in me squeed with joy at the news. The adult in me bemoaned the lack of funds for such games. The happy medium said, “check out the free ones!”
So what is the games selection like? Let’s take a look…
Linux Mint 12 RC: The Greatest Hits
First off, let me say that I am a guest poster and my opinions do not represent those of Ohso or any others writers here at OMG! Ubuntu! With all the Unity less-than-loving going around I decided to spend some time with the latest release candidate of Ubuntu-based distribution Linux Mint 12. This release, which [...]
Ubuntu 11.10 Released – See What’s New
After 6 months in the making the latest release of Ubuntu – version 11.10 – is now available to download.
Sporting a retuned Unity interface, new and improved features, and even some new applications Ubuntu 11.10 certainly promises a lot – but does it live up to the hype?
