ubuntu-raph Yesterday I uploaded the Ubuntu port for the HTC Rhodium. Today its time to show the Raphael some love too. Again, the port is not fully functional but you should get Ubuntu running quite nicely and unlike the Android port, not having working audio and mic isnt that important.

Personally, I am really excited over the ability to run Ubuntu on a phone. Makes tasks such as document editing and such to a whole new level!

So what are you waiting for? Go and grab it now and give it a spin!

cab-icon Thanks to Reefermattness over at XDA, we now have a new Android package for the Rhodium. Its based on the previously released Android build but its optimized and preconfigured for the HTC Rhodium (Touch Pro 2). It comes in a nice .cab install so all you have to do is copy it to your device and install it. All you need to do is make sure you install it to your storage card.

Ubuntu now on the Rhodium

ubuntu-topaz If you look at the HTC Touch Pro 2, aka Rhodium, you can see how it really has the hardware suitable for some real computer tasks. Imagine running a full desktop computer operating system on it. Well, say hello to Ubuntu on your Rhodium!

The porting of Ubuntu is coming along quite well already. It runs quite nicely but with a few lacking features such as WiFi. However, with so much great work done already on the Android port, it should be more than possible to fix and is in the process of implementation in the Ubuntu Port as well!

Sounds interesting? Read on for download link and a demo video!

UPDATE: A new build is up.

figure3 Google is boosting up Android with yet another neat feature. Gesture Search from Google Labs lets you quickly search your Android 2.x powered device simply by drawing letters on the screen. This lets you easily find the contact, artist, bookmark or app that you are looking for. Again, its only available for devices running Android 2.0 and newer.

This is definitely a feature that Android needed. A quick way to search for stuff, similar to how you can in Windows Mobile for instance, except in my opinion, this solution works even better!

Bash School Part 2

class-2 And the bash school is back. Last time, we looked at some interesting and useful commands. Today we are going to look at something quite different.

If you are a heavy terminal user, I am sure you have experienced the following. You have logged in remotely to a machine and when you want to shut down the local machine you shut down the remote machine instead. Or maybe you forget you are logged in as root (difference between # and $ isnt that great) and run a command you definitely didn't want to run as root. If not, then maybe you just want to pimp up your terminal? I am going to show you how you can change both the information and colors.

Secure deletion of files
Written by Edvard Heiberg Holst

drive There are many reasons why a computer user would like to securely delete files and data. Maybe he or she is selling it and want to make sure no one else can access the files or maybe the hard drive has stored sensitive content that needs to be completely removed.

So how do you go about this process? Most of you probably realize that there is more to it than dragging the files to your recycle bin. There is more to it indeed..
