RealNetworks Adds All in One Support to Linux Netbooks
According to Cnet, RealNetworks has announced a licensing agreement with many of the major Linux software companies to have RealPlayer for Mobile be pre-installed on Ubuntu and Instant-On Netbook OS systems made by Xandros, Phoenix Technologies, DeviceVM, and Canonical.
This is good news for Linux lovers as this will give users the ability to play media on demand in one easy to use package, including some files that weren’t available for playing on Linux before.
Hooray for Real.
Best Linux Distro for an Old Laptop
So what is the best Linux Distro for an old laptop? That’s the debate over at Linux.com. In my opinion you can’t go wrong with Ubuntu, but others believed xfce desktop environment which is the most feature full minimallist environment for linux. Debian with Gnome even with KDE works great as well. The laptop presented was six years old and running 1.6 Ghz AMD (forgot the type) with 512 MB ram. In my opinion I would still stick with Unbuntu and maybe go the Debian route.
