VBoxSDL - The simplified VM displayer for Virtualbox

Posted: January 2nd, 2009, 6:02pm CST by admin
VBoxSDL is a simple graphical user interface (GUI) that lacks the nice point-and-click support which VirtualBox, our main GUI, provides. VBoxSDL is currently primarily used internally for debugging VirtualBox and therefore not officially supported. Still,you may find it useful for environments where the virtual machines are not necessarily
controlled by the same person that uses the virtual machine.

How to Install KDE 4.2 beta in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)

Posted: December 28th, 2008, 6:43pm CST by admin
The KDE project aims to change all that. KDE now provides an easy to use contemporary desktop environment available for UNIX and compatible systems. Together with a free implementation of UNIX such as GNU/Linux, UNIX/KDE constitutes a completely free and open computing platform available to anyone free of charge. Source code is available for anyone to look at, learn from, modify and improve. Whilst there is always room for improvement, KDE today delivers a viable feature packed alternative to the more commonly found commercial operating systems/desktops combinations available.

New Release : Pidgin 2.5.3

Posted: December 28th, 2008, 4:19am CST by admin
Well, we finally kicked Pidgin 2.5.3 out of the nest, two days late. It’s spreading its wings and flying.

Noteworthy in this release are that 58 bullet points are in the ChangeLog (not counting the headers for libpurple, Pidgin, Finch, and the protocols) and 85 tickets were closed, 40 of which were marked in trac as patches. Also of note is the insane amount of work Mark Doliner put into our MSN and MySpace plugins, which should resolve a number of crashes and the MySpace “doesn’t sign off” issue.
