Ubuntu Repositories | Ubuntu Screencasts
This is an screencast by Alan Pope of the Ubuntu Repositories which is a great overview for someone not familiar with all the options of Repositories. Alan refers to a later screencast and I hope he covers the routine matter of setting up a local proxy for the home user, or single classroom teacher, who had multiple Ubuntu machines and would like to have them update extremely quickly.
Having mentioned it, now I will need to cover it. Simply put you add a file in the /etc/apt/apt.conf directory numbered appropriately. I use 00proxy to put it first. In the proxy configuration file you put the following script line Acquire::http { Proxy “http://localhost:3142”;}; for the master repository. For all the machines which need to utilize this machine as the local repository to check for already downloaded updates you simply switch localhost to the ip address of the master repository machine. Well Alan, it would make a great part of the advanced screencast.
Create Digital Music » Linux Music Workflow: Switching from Mac OS X to Ubuntu with Kim Cascone
What they have to say:
Here’s a switcher story of a different color: from the Mac, to Linux. It’s one thing to talk about operating systems and free software in theory, or to hear from died-in-the-wool advocates of their platform of choice. In this case, we turn to Kim Cascone, an experienced and gifted musician and composer with an impressive resume of releases and a rich sens of sound. This isn’t someone advocating any platform over another: it’s an on-the-ground, in-the-trenches, real-world example of how Kim made this set of tools work in his music, in the studio and on tour. A particular thanks, as he’s given me some new ideas for how to work with Audacity and Baudline. Kim puts his current setup in the context of decades of computer work. Even if you’re not ready to leave Mac (or Windows) just yet, Kim’s workflow here could help if you’re looking to make a Linux netbook or laptop more productive in your existing rig.
From this editor:
This is an excellent read for both applications, workflow and overall perspective of why an expert might choose to change. I am not saying I believe that this year or next year or last year is “the year of the Linux Desktop”. I do believe that for some people, this set of tools is the choice that will enable them to become something special. Otherwise, why use any platform at all?
