Raspberry Pi An ARM Linux box at a low, really low price. Device, and to produce schematics and a PCB layout. From an electrical perspective, this board is intended to be identical to the final device; the resulting units will be used to validate the schematic design, and will serve as our interim software development platform. The ICs used in the design are an ARM-based application processor (center) and an SMSC LAN9512 USB 2.0 hub and 10/100 Ethernet controller (right and down from center). The SDRAM is mounted on top of the application processor in a PoP configuration. Following the example of the BBC Micro, they intend to launch both a Model A device (lacking the LAN9512, and with 128MB of RAM) at the $25 price point, and a Model B device (including the LAN9512, and with 256MB of RAM) for a $5-10 additional cost. They remain confident of shipping before the end of 2011.
"I feel like I have too many good tings to say about Pardus Linux. I'm extremely impressed. It's my hands-down my favorite KDE Linux distribution I have ever tried and trust me I have tried a quite a lot..."
A review of a very impressive KDE4 distro: Pardus Linux . The installation wizards and the Kaptan Configuration Wizard are simply the best in their class for customization tools, and the software selection is simply unparalleled in my opinion.
All the software you need in a user-friendly and well-delivered package. Fantastic distribution - easily my favourite KDE distro.

Linux Mint is one of the surprise
packages of the past year. Originally launched as a variant of
Ubuntu
with integrated media codecs, it has now developed into one of the most
user-friendly distributions on the market - complete with a custom

package installation interface, and a number of different editions.
Perhaps most importantly, this is one project where the developers and
users are in constant interaction, resulting in dramatic, user-driven
improvements with every new release.
DistroWatch has spoken to the
founder and lead developer of Linux Mint, Clement Lefebvre, about the
history of the distribution.

Here we have a sort of windows manager called eagle mode,and unlike all the things that we use now which we call a GUI , (Graphical User Interface), this one is a ZUI, (Zooming User Interface)..
now although this is really a bit of fun for now maybe it could be the desktop of the future with tablets and touch screens that are now available....hey you never know...your grandchildren could be using something like this..super sausage........
Eagle Mode is an advanced solution for a futuristic style of man-machine communication in which the user can visit almost everything simply by zooming in. It has a professional file manager, file viewers and players for most of the common file types, a chess game, a 3D mines game, a netwalk game, a multi-function clock and some fractal fun, all integrated in a virtual cosmos. Besides, that cosmos also provides a Linux kernel configurator in form of a kernel patch.
By featuring a separate popup-zoomed control view, help texts in the things they are describing, editable bookmarks, multiple input methods, fast anti-aliased graphics, a virtually unlimited depth of panel tree, and by its portable C++ API, Eagle Mode aims to be a cutting edge of zoomable user interfaces.
This is a video capture of using a software named Eagle Mode. It is a Zoomable User Interface (ZUI) with plugin applications like an advanced file manager, lots of file viewers, an audio and video player, some games, fractals, and more. It is free software that runs on Linux, Windows and others.

Junction (Free) Many web developers are familiar with symbolic links on Linux, Mac OS X, and similar operating systems. With a symbolic link, you can reference any file or directory by a different name and/or in a different directory. It turns out that NTFS supports a very similar feature called junctions, but you need an expensive set of tools from Microsoft® or this convenient little command line programs' to use them. Windows 2000 and higher supports directory symbolic links, where a directory serves as a symbolic link to another directory on the computer. For example, if the directory D:\SYMLINK specified C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 as its target, then an application accessing D:\SYMLINK\DRIVERS would in reality be accessing C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. Directory symbolic links are known as NTFS junctions in Windows. Unfortunately, Windows comes with no tools for creating junctions - you have to purchase the Win2K Resource Kit, which comes with the linkde program for creating junctions. I therefore decided to write my own junction-creating tool: Junction. Junction not only allows you to create NTFS junctions, it allows you to see if files or directories are actually reparse points.
