Development Release: Ufficio Zero 0.8 |
| A new development build of Ufficio Zero, an Italian desktop-oriented distribution based on Ubuntu, has been released. The most important new feature of version 0.8 is the ability to install it to a hard disk directly from the live CD, thanks to the new graphical installer from Ubuntu 6.06.1. A major innovation present in this release is the distribution's integration with ufficioSamente.it, an Italian web community which enables easy publishing of web logs and sharing of photos and videos on the Internet. Ufficio Zero 0.8 is considered a "technology preview" and not yet ready for production machines; however those who wish to test the product and provide suggestions for improvements are welcome to try it. Please visit the project's home page (in Italian) to read the full release announcement. Download: ufficiozero-0.8.iso (654MB, MD5). |

| Hot on the heals of the recently released version 0.6, the developers of Italy's Ufficio Zero, based on Ubuntu Linux, have announced another new release: "Ufficio Zero 0.7 has been released. This release features a big step forward with the new version of 'automatico', an automatic software installer based on gnome-app-install. A simple guide through all daily tasks has been included in the distribution so users can find information right on their desktop." Like the previous version, Ufficio Zero 0.7 is a live CD only, without a hard disk installation option. Read the full release announcement (in Italian) for further information.

At one point or another gamers can hit the wall when using other OS systems such as Linux and Mac, as Windows has always been renowned as the OS of choice for the gaming community. In a lot of cases this has changed somewhat over the last few years with the use of virtualization software that helps to bridge that gap, and it can be quite successful to a point. Of course, when you virtualize another OS you can lose some of the performance, than say running a game natively, and with slowdowns and bugs comes frustration. We have listed a few resources that we think are worth a mention for different types of gamers, both online multiplayer and single player, see what you think:
- World of Goo. This is a great puzzle game that will keep you busy for hours, there's also a free playable demo version.
- If you're a online poker enthusiast we can recommend you check out the pokerlistings.com Linux poker page, it has a list of poker apps that are compatible with your OS.
- For the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) crowds you could always take a look at Vendetta online, "thousands of people can play together, at the same time, in a single, persistent universe", sounds great!
