All good things come to an end, and so do a few “wait, that’s still going?” things: Mozilla has announced it is ending support for 32-bit Linux. If you’re reading this from a 32-bit Linux distro (which I hope to heck isn’t the one this blog is about given Ubuntu dropped 32-bit support back in 2017) you don’t need to panic unduly — I’ll get to why in a moment. Mozilla says it chose to continue providing Firefox for 32-bit Linux systems well after most browsers and operating systems ended support in an effort to help ‘users extend the life […]

If you’ve been itching to try out the fancy-looking MPD client Euphonica, you’ll be pleased to hear it’s now available to install from Flathub. Euphonica is written in Rust and uses a GTK4/libadwaita UI. It’s still in beta (thus not stable) yet feels solid enough in day-to-day use. Plus, development is active. The arrival of the app on Flathub (though it’s not verified yet) will make it easier for people to try this out. When I covered it earlier this year, it got a lot of interest but the fact it had to be compiled from source on Ubuntu put it […]

Berkeley's "Net/2" to the i386, known as "386BSD", though very little of the 386BSD code remains. FreeBSD is used by companies, Internet Service Providers, researchers, computer professionals, students and home users all over the world in their work, education and recreation. FreeBSD comes with over 20,000 packages (pre-compiled software that is bundled for easy installation), covering a wide range of areas: from server software, databases and web servers, to desktop software, games, web browsers and business software - all free and easy to install.

The simple, three-question installation requires minimal technical knowledge. Skolelinux is Debian, which means, among other things, that there are no license costs or worries, and that upgrade and maintenance of the software can be done over the Internet with the power of Debian's apt-get. The core goals of Skolelinux are localisation and ease of system administration.

The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system. This operating system is called Debian. Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel. Linux is a completely free piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide. Of course, the thing that people want is application software: programs to help them get what they want to do done, from editing documents to running a business to playing games to writing more software. Debian comes with over 50,000 packages (precompiled software that is bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine) - all of it free. It's a bit like a tower. At the base is the kernel. On top of that are all the basic tools. Next is all the software that you run on the computer. At the top of the tower is Debian -- carefully organizing and fitting everything so it all works together.
