Apa Saja Yang Baru Dari Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal (Ubuntu Natty Narwhal Preview)

What's new Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal? Apa yang baru dari Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal? Banyak! Berikut ini saya list saja semua pembaruan yang menurut saya betul-betul asyik:

Upgrade dan replace software. LibreOffice menggantikan OpenOffice.org. Mozilla Firefox upgrade ke 4.01. Banshee menggantikan Rhythmbox, ditambah dengan fitur integrasi tombol play, next dan forward di Gnome Volume Control (sungguh, ini fitur asyik).
Desktop memakai Unity yang berbasis Gnome 'Classic' versi terbaru 2.32.1. Yang sangat asyik, jika komputer kita tidak memakai VGA yang support 3D (misal: onboard non-intel), secara otomatis desktop default akan dialihkan ke desktop Gnome 'Classic'.
Fitur mount dan unmount partisi harddisk/usb flashdisk/removable media yang lebih responsif dan dengan fitur yang lebih lengkap (seperti fitur Format pada opsi klik kanan).
Broadband Networking yang lebih sempurna dan sepenuhnya bekerja. Setup yang sangat mudah dengan wizard. Ini peningkatan yang sangat bagus. Mengenai fitur ini, saya membuat sebuah post mengenai setup dial up memakai handphone dengan koneksi bluetooth.
Fitur instalasi yang lebih baik. Cuma, saya menemukan satu bug (mungkin ini kondisional pada komputer saya). Pada bagian custom partitioning, saya tidak bisa membuat custom mount point untuk partisi-partisi hardisk saya, sehingga hanya ada opsi dikatikan ke /dos dan /windows. Padahal, akan lebih fleksibel manakala partisi hardisk kita dikaitkan ke /media.
Tema yang jauh lebih elegan. Sepertinya tema Ambiance dan Radiance akan menjadi tema yang sangat Ubuntu dan sangat berkarakter (jujur, saya sangat suka dengan tema hitam tersebut, terkesan elegan dan jantan).

Begitulah secara keseluruhan review saya mengenai Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal. Secara keseluruhan, untuk rilis Ubuntu kali ini, saya memberi point 9,75 dari 10. Satu “nilai plus” dari Ubuntu Natty adalah memakai desktop Gnome “Classic” 2.32.1 (kita semua tahu, Gnome 3 banyak menuai kekecewaan di kalangan user Linux karena ke-tidak-customable-annya) :D

Berikut ini spesifikasi komputer yang saya pakai untuk menjalankan Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal:

Prosesor : Intel Pentium IV 2,4 GHz

RAM : DDR1 512 MB

VGA : Onboard SiS 661/741/760 FX

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try. A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...

How To Install Mac OS X Lion Theme On Lubuntu / LXDE

Lubuntu 12.04 with Mac OS X Lion Theme, xcompmgr & cairo-dock [click to enlarge] Mac OS X is the special one in the Desktop market. So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”.

Howto Connect To Windows Share Network (Connect To Server) Easily in PCManFM

In Nautilus 3.4, Nemo, or Caja, there is a very useful menu called "Connect to Server". This menu allow us to connect to a Windows Share network via Samba. If you are using another desktop environment such as LXDE, there aren't such menu, and we need to install third party tool called Gigolo . But apparently, PCManFM (the default file manager of LXDE) already has such function. We could connect to a Windows Share network in PCManFM easily. Here are the simple steps : 1. Open PCManFM and go to adress bar, and type this command : smb://username@server/folder example : smb://staff@192.168.1.69/document then press Enter 2. Once you will be asked to input the Windows Share Network password (if exists), select Remember Forever option. 3. You are connected to Windows Share Network ;)
