Nothing new, Windows XP in Virtual Box, but this example uses the existing Windows OS on sda1, rather than a virtual hard disk (vmdk) file. I've been doing this for a long time on MacOS using VMware Fusion, however I could not work out how to run the existing partition windows OS in a Linux window, using VirtualBox. The big problem is that VirtualBox only deals with disks, not partitions, and hence you run a very real risk of corrupting your linux partition, by trying to boot it twice, simultaneously.
I stopped at this hip cafe in Reykjavik which had some computers for costumer use. They were running Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
Chegaram finalmente os cds de instalação da distribuição do Ubuntu, juntamente com os autocolantes.
Aqui já colado no meu Toshiba a precisar urgentemente de mais memória.
My husband is a computer programmer and when the new version of Ubuntu launched (his favorite operating system) I made these to celebrate. The cupcakes are vanilla dyed orange and purple and they are covered in marshmallow fondant.
So here it is -- my laptop's screengrab. Exciting, eh?

Oh, c'mon, you know you nearly wet yourself.

El enano jugando con el Armagetron del Ubuntu. No es que jugase mucho, porque le gustaba ver como su moto se estrellaba.

Alright, its not often that the geek in me finds its way out on this site, but I wanted to bring something absolutely awesome to light: a viable, useful, and free alternative to Windows and Mac; Linux Ubuntu.
I've spent some time with this completely free OS, and I must say that I'm thoroughly impressed. Installation is simple and the interface is intuitive yet refreshingly different. I'm running a desktop machine that dual-boots both Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu 8.04. I'm writing this on an Emachines laptop using Ubuntu 8.04.
So, what made it worth it for me to write about this OS? My reasoning: to spread the word. Ubuntu is an operating system that could completely take over the competition (with some refinement). Linux based OS' are supported by thousands of programmers all over the world who donate their time and knowledge to make a better alternative to the two monopolizers of GUI OS'.
Not only is the OS free, but every piece of software available for it is FREE. Software like the GIMP image editor and RawStudio can replace programs like Photoshop CS2/3 for many users (especially photographers). My Nikon D300 RAW files weren't even supported by Photoshop CS2, but the many free RAW editors from the Linux development community supported my D300 .NEF files without problems!
What else is awesome about Linux Ubuntu? Well, I love the very different looking GUI. Its intuitive, customizable, and very efficient. All programs are organized in separate drop-down menus, and system settings are in their own drop-down menu for easy access.
It will only be a few years until this version of Linux becomes a competitive alternative to Windows and Mac. Some computers already ship with Linux Ubuntu variants already installed, and since there is no payed license, the cost of the computer is cut nearly in half (see Asus EEE PC). Apple computers are the costliest computers on the market, mostly due to the over-hyped and overpriced MacOS. Windows computers aren't far behind, and Vista users are plagued with incompatibility and crash issues. If Linux programmers can fix the quirks (bad NTFS support, poor hardware support on newer systems, quirky behavior after major updates), Linux Ubuntu will be a viable contender to the money hungry monopolies that are Apple and Microsoft.
Give Ubuntu a try, you can download the OS here: www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download
Burn the ISO image to a CD and run it from your CD-ROM drive on boot to see if you like it. Ubuntu 8.04 already delivers almost an extra hour of battery life on my laptop, as opposed to Windows XP Home.
Try it, enjoy it, and join the open source revolution!

The Open Source Liberlab project aims to help to democratise scientific experimentation through the creation and use of a digital lab at a very low price ( ~ 15 €/$). It can also be used for robotics, automation, human-machine interface and interactive arts.
Burger King has these little i-Dog toys in their kids meals. this one is called i-Cy (get it?), and when I saw it, of course I though "Linux!" So I got one, and drew the Ubuntu logo on his belly. It matches up pretty well with the light that turns on when you press his beak.
I would like to get some smaller markers and draw the logo again- it's hard with the bigger sharpies.
Ubuntu is secretly (not really secret) stashed away in the drive of that laptop, don't worry ;).
