Ok,

Until next time.

Bye-bye.

Hack a public radio newscast. Hi Hack a public radio listeners and welcome to a short
|
|
episode on things happening in and around the Linux and open source community and your
|
|
host Finix. If you haven't heard through the usual community jungle drums, Ubuntu is
|
|
named the next plan release of its ever popular distribution.
|
|
910 will be named Karmic Koala. Markshaw or Wethon Adams this week. Karmic Koala will be released
|
|
in October of 2009. In front of you that are unsure about Ubuntu's version numbering works this
|
|
way. The year makes the first part of the number and the month makes the second part of the
|
|
version number. Hence 2009 makes the 9 and October makes the 10. Which promises of clouds
|
|
computing being supported, there should be a very interesting release.
|
|
Also over in the UK petition has been launched over at petitions.number10.gov.uk asking the
|
|
Prime Minister to look at adopting free and open source operating systems in UK schools.
|
|
The petition states the following, the only vector recommended operating systems for schools
|
|
is Microsoft Windows, but there are several reasons why this is not the best choice
|
|
for use in an education environment. Firstly the vast majority of malware exists for Windows.
|
|
Secondly the cost of a Windows computer may prevent some learners from having one at home
|
|
which is compatible with the ones they use at school. Thirdly Windows restricts the
|
|
user's choice of settings as languages and characters supported based on an addition broad.
|
|
Finally Windows doesn't is not designed for education.
|
|
For those reasons it is believed that the primary OS used in school should be a free and
|
|
open source alternative. Many operating systems that are more secure than Windows are available.
|
|
Although there is currently only one specifically designed for education.
|
|
Many of these systems are Linux based and so there are alternatives to many Windows software
|
|
available and where there is not it is even possible to run Windows applications.
|
|
If any UK citizen is wishing to read up or sign the petition, the new URL is
