Building Stuff In Ubuntu?

Are you finding it hard to find all of those necessary libraries when building your binaries in Ubuntu/Debian?? Well my friend, I’m here to help, apparently you can install all the necessary dependencies with the Ubuntu/Debian apt-get command (if off course the package is in the database, hihi), just type:

sudo apt-get build-dep <package>

And you should be fine, all of the necessary dependencies will be downloaded and installed.

Ubuntu Linux Lucid Lynx: Social to Boot

Lucid Lynx

Like some of the other Ubuntu releases, Lucid Lynx is LTS or “Long Term Support” meaning that the desktop version will be supported for three years and the server version for five years. This version also comes with a netbook version, with improved boot-up time.

Now to the stuff i want to talk about, The desktop in this Ubuntu version is social even from the first boot-up in the form of a built in integration in the panels Memenu, with Twitter, Identi.ca, Facebook and other social networks. A new design with cleaner boot-up, a new area for messages and a new desktop background should, according too the developers, give the distro a new fancy look, there’s also a new theme with new icons.

On the server side theres been allot of improvement on cloud computing and also a few security updates, There’s now Apparmor profiles for key features and a easily configured firewall.
