Ubuntu Linux led the Linux crowd because of the ease of installation. Once the Unity interface was announced then the troubles began. Are you a fan of the interface or do you prefer something else such as GNOME, KDE, or …. ?

Precise Pangolin is the name of the newest release, 12.04 LTS.

Microsoft today announced an agreement with its successor, Attachmate’s SUSE unit, to extend by four years the technology collaboration agreement and controversial patent protection deal that the companies announced nearly five years ago.

Linux users should be very happy with agreement because litigation costs should be reduced.

TechSource provides a quick overview of three Linux distributions embracing the cloud.

Joli OS

Jolicloud sports an interface that is both simple and very easy on the eyes. Shortcuts to popular web services appear as icons on top of a desktop background. More applications can be added by clicking on the ‘plus’ sign on the top left.

Peppermint OS

It is a cloud-centric operating system meant for netbooks, mobile devices and older PCs.

Google Chrome OS

Google’s master plan is to combine all these services into a cloud-based operating system and sell it to users. This master plan is called Google Chrome OS and the notebooks running it are called Chromebooks.

Have you tried any of these distributions? Joli and Peppermint excite me the most.
