  • Mandriva 2009.1 Gets System Restore Functionality
    Read more...
    Close
    Delayed four days, Mandriva announced last night (March 10th) the first release candidate version of the upcoming Mandriva Linux 2009.1 (Spring) distribution. This RC release brings a Dual arch (32-bit and 64-bit) installable CD, and some of the hottest Linux technologies, such as: Linux kernel 2.6.29 RC6, X.org server 1.6.0, QT 4.5.0, KDE 4.2.1, GNOME 2.26 RC, Xfce 4.6, OpenOffice.Org 3.0.1 and many more (see below for details).

    The Mandriva team is well known for its very nice innovations implemented in almost every release of its operating system, therefore we are proud to announce that Mandriva Linux just received a system restore functionality, called Draksnapshot, which will allow its users to easily restore the entire system from a date of their choice. Moreover, there's also a new module, called HDT (Hardware Detection Tool), implemented in the Syslinux 3.73 package. It is available in the installation media and it will allow you to get a full description of your hardware without the need to boot the entire operating system!

    The development cycle of Mandriva 2009.1 will continue with another release candidate at the end of March, and it will conclude with the final release at the end of April 2009. With the Spring edition, Mandriva will try to compete with the upcoming Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) and Fedora 11 (Leonidas) Linux-based operating systems. Mandriva Linux 2009.1 will also be the first version with stable and official support for the evolutionary EXT4 file system!

    "This RC1 version proposes a first glance at 2009 Spring design, providing Free wallpapers. This version will allow you also to dump in a very easy way One GNOME hybrid iso on a USB key and then install Mandriva Linux on netbooks." - said the Mandriva developers in the official release announcement.

    Highlights of Mandriva Linux 2009.1 RC1:

    · Linux kernel 2.6.29 RC6;
    · KDE 4.2.1;
    · GNOME 2.25.92;
    · XFCE 4.6;

    Close
    Vyatta Inc., a company that builds open-source and commercially supported networking solutions that provide an alternative to inflexible and over-priced products from proprietary vendors, announced yesterday evening the immediate availability of Vyatta 5.0.2. Being based on the Debian mammoth, the new release of the Vyatta operating system introduces several new features and fixes lots of annoying bugs over previous versions.

    "I'm pleased to announce that VC5 has officially been released. The final version was the same as the Beta 3 version (5.0.2). If you're running the final beta, there is no need to upgrade. If you're not running the final version, you can either update using the stable package repository configuration, or you can reinstall from CD-ROM. ISO images are available on vyatta.org and vyatta.com." - said Dave Robers, Vyatta employee, in the official release announcement.

    Highlights of Vyatta 5.0.2:

    · Web GUI functionality;
    · OpenVPN support;
    · Traffic filtering and intrusion protection system;
    · URL filtering;
    · Web caching;
    · DNS forwarding;
    · Dynamic DNS support;
    · Enhanced support for VMware;
    · Support for RFC 2684 (formerly RFC 1483) Bridged Ethernet over ADSL;
    · Support for Synchronous Serial Cards;
    · Serial loopback commands;
    · Support for RAID-1;
    · Experimental support for Ethernet Link Bonding;
    · Experimental support for Wireless modems;
    · Experimental support for the IPv6 protocol;
    · Cross-document PDF search;
    · Web-based documentation;
    · New overview guides;
    · Redesigned technical library.

    Vyatta 5.0.2 removes the antivirus functionality because of some patent issues. Moreover, the minimum required space for the root partition is 1 GB, but the developers recommend using 2 GB or more.

    Vyatta Linux combines firewall, VPN and router capabilities into a single and unique solution that tries to deliver twice the performance of proprietary network solutions for half the price.

Welcome to UnixCoD

leftWelcome to our new UnixCoD site.

After some time in which we've been absent, we came back with a brand new site and with even more features than before.

If you're a linux lover this is the place to be and that's because here you will find the latest tech news, greatest help that we can offer about computers & linux problems, hot discusions about computers and operating systems on our forum (forum link ) and much more, all this together here on http://unixcod.org without being need to switch from a site to another to be able to read these informations but you have to stick around to see.

We are now determined more than ever to create something bigger than what we had before and if possible something new in the very close future. If we want this to happen we need your support, join us and help our comunity grow, be a part of it.

Once large enough we can support the higher comunity wich is linux comunity with what we are doing here with our comunity effort. Linux is a great operating system because it's open source and.... because milions of people, programmers or not they have the chance to be a part of it... of linux and contribute to its expansion, bug fixes, new features etc. It's the same with comunities.

We must help each other this is how we evolve we pass knowledge this is the way. We will keep you informed about our projects, just be around to give us a hand if we need it.
