Finally this time the first beta of Firefox 3 is available to download. It’s not recommended for the general public to download and test it, but why not download it and try it, it’s free and it’s a new piece a software with a lot of new features, I can say that it has improved a lot, I’ve tried some alpha release on Linux and it was super fast, had some stability issues but nothing that would affect the systems performance, so I kept on trying it, and this was my conclusion: Firefox rocks

New features and changes in this release include: [Read the rest of this entry...]

Hi, everyone.

In this post I’m going to write about the top 5 php scripts that I think everybody should use, these scripts can be used for websites, forum boards, blogs, etc… use your imagination, and of course they are free and open source.

1. PHPBB: is a popular Internet forum package written in the PHP programming language. The name “phpBB” is an abbreviation of PHP Bulletin Board. Available under the GNU General Public License, phpBB is free software.(in wikipedia). I’ve used this script for some testing a while ago, and it is pretty good, its fast and reliable, has a wide variety of templates and mods, and the support is also a good thing. What I don’t like is seeing these boards getting hacked, I don’t really know if its the script’s problem or if it is for being so popular that hackers keep on hacking phpbb forum boards. PHPBB.

Yesterday, one of my friends had to format his hard drive because Windows had one of those weird crashes and it didn’t even start up anymore, so he told me he was going to install Windows and then Ubuntu, he asked me some questions, some really simple and common ones which Linux newbies ask, even I did those questions when I first used Linux, so I thought this was normal. So, when he finished installing it, he told me that Ubuntu had a nice desktop, very organized and really fast, He even said that he liked Ubuntu because it starts faster then Windows Vista, about 15 seconds on Ubuntu and 1 minute in Vista, so I told him to get use to the Linux world which is a lot faster then Windows. Everything still normal here, he asked me how to install programs on Ubuntu and I told him to search for the Synaptic Package Manager, and he found it and did a simple search for a program and it worked, after that I told him there was an even more simple way of installing new programs which is the Add/Remove Programs on the applications menu, he said thank you and logged off for a couple of hours.
