Hollanda Unix Kullanıcı Gurubu (NLUUG), Pardus’un indirilebileceği ilk Avrupa sunucusu oldu. Ayrıca Surfnet de kendi sunucularını Pardus için hazırladı. Şu andan itibaran, Pardus bu iki Hollanda sunucusundan çok yüksek hızlarda indirilebilir. Teşekkürler!!!

Goobuntu // Ubuntu

Google uses Ubuntu only internally

Though steps toward closing in on the consumer have been made (Desktop Search utility, Google Talk IM, and Google Earth), chances for a Google OS to arrive are little, considering that there is no web browser at the time being.

Rumors of Google developing an Ubuntu (Linux)-based operating system named Goobuntu have been silenced by Google’s technology spokeswoman Sonya Borälv, saying that though Google uses Ubuntu internally, they do not distribution outside the company.

Though steps toward closing in on the consumer have been made (Desktop Search utility, Google Talk IM, and Google Earth), chances for a Google OS to arrive are little, considering that there is no web browser at the time being.

Issues that would arise after a Google OS would include GNU General Public License 3’s (GPL 3) anti-DRM nature clash with Google Video and Google Music service (highly addicted to DRM).

Ubuntu is a desktop Linux distribution, based on Debian GNU/Linux, sponsored by Mark Shuttleworth’s Canonical Ltd. Ubuntu means “humanity towards others” in South Africa.

What sets is apart from Debian is a new release every 6 months and support for a minimum of 18 months. Ubuntu v6.04 “Dapper Drake”, should benefit from support for 3/5 years (desktop / server).

Ubuntu aims to use only free software to provide an up-to-date yet reasonably stable operating system for the average user. Many reviewers of Ubuntu point out a main part of Ubuntu’s success is the fact it has a very large community.

Mark Shuttleworth founded Thawte nearly 11 years ago, specializing in digital certificates and Internet security, selling it 5 years after (’99) to VeriSign. He later developed HBD Venture Capital, a business incubator and venture capital provider, and the Shuttleworth Foundation, an NGO focusing on social innovation.

He participated in the development of Debian in the 1990s, and funded (in 2004) the development of a user-friendly version of Linux, the Ubuntu Linux. In 2005 he founded the Ubuntu Foundation and made an initial investment of 10 million dollars. The foundation is used to pay Ubuntu contributors.
