Linux OS Distribution Reviews
This tutorial shows how you can install and run activeCollab 3 on a Debian Wheezy or Ubuntu 12.10 system that has nginx installed instead of Apache (LEMP = Linux + nginx (pronounced “engine x”) + MySQL + PHP). nginx is a HTTP server that uses much less resources than Apache and delivers pages a lot of faster, especially static files.

Asus has finally released to the market their desktop/tablet hybrid device that was first unveiled over at CES 2013. The ASUS Transformer AiO (All in One) P1801 currently sells for $ 1,299 in the US. It can be used as a tablet, although its 18.5 inch display isn’t going to make it that much portable. It can also be used as a desktop when attached to its dock.
The P1801 runs on two operating systems which you can easily switch from with just a touch of a button. You can activate the Windows 8 when in desktop mode and Android in tablet mode or vice versa.
ASUS Transformer AiO P1801 Technical Specifications
This all in one device basically uses an Android tablet as its display. While combining two different ecosystems have lots of advantages it seems that Asus hasn’t ironed out some of the problems yet. Some minor issues encountered by some users is that the tablet lags when it is out of dock. Crashes experienced in both operating systems may make the device seem unresponsive.
As far hardware specs goes this device is more than capable to handle any processor intensive task you throw at it. It’s dual nature means that it can probably replace other devices you have in your home.

Not only is the MiiPC about to bring the reality of a PC with Android OS, it will also give the power back to the parents when it comes to controlling and monitoring what your kids can access on the Internet.
Kickstarter may have finally found an Android PC, which is the next big thing unless Google comes up with its own product. The MiiPC is like an old PC’s CPU, but with a strangely more attractive design and feel. Not to mention the power that this hardware pack. This is a plug-and-play computer box that you can connect to your television. Through its installed Android OS, it will allow you to surf the Internet, play games, edit documents, watch videos and run Android apps.
For $ 89, this computer box will bring infotainment to your screens via a Marvell New Armada dual-core 1.2Ghz SoC with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal flash storage. You can connect a keyboard and mouse to it, so that it looks and feels like a real PC. Also, the MiiPC will have an Ethernet port, Bluetooth connectivity and built-in HDMI output that will let you run services like Netflix.
Family-Oriented Computer Box
Parents will be pleased to know that MiiPC was created by parents for parents. This means that unlike other computers that merely block kids’ access to certain websites, the MiiPC can actually let a parent monitor his/her kids’ use of the Internet, the websites they visit and what they do there. They can also set a specific time, apps and websites that their kids can access.
It also allows for real-time monitoring, so you can see what your kids are up to while they are browsing the Internet. There’s a built-in time management will allow older kids to become more productive by giving feedback about their usage. You will be able to see how much time your kids spend on Facebook, YouTube, Google and other websites. This way, you can monitor also if they did their homework already or if they are focusing on other mundane things.
The creators—Frank Pesek (chief architect), Young Song (founder and CEO) and Richard San (chief product officer)—said they created the hardware primarily as parents. They said they want their children to enjoy the Internet by gaining knowledge and developing their research skills. But at the same time, the Internet is also home to a lot of violent and improper websites that you wouldn’t want your kids near to.
The MiiPC is a great way to let your kids run freely on the Internet and, at the same time, protect them from things they wouldn’t learn anything good from. Although we are still waiting if Google will ever come out with an operating system for laptops and computers, this PC with Android OS is a good enough substitute for the meantime. It’s family-oriented features will also make it attractive to parents who are finding it hard to control, manage and monitor their kids’ Internet use.

VBoxHeadless – Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 4.2 On A Headless Fedora 18 Server
This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with VirtualBox 4.2 on a headless Fedora 18 server.

While most major manufacturers are releasing various tablet models in the market an Italian company called Italian DaVinci Mobile Technology is releasing the Kite HD tablet which runs on Ubuntu. It’s not using the Ubuntu mobile operating system but the full Ubuntu 12.04 OS that’s also being used in PC’s. The best part of this is that it has a dual boot feature that lets users run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Kite HD Specification
The Kite HD offers impressive specs and we can say that it is far superior to most of the tablets out in the market today. Its high resolution display combined with its use of a quad core processor is an interesting combination. The main selling point for this device though isn’t its hardware but its software. You will be able to boot up initially with Android but then have the option to switch to Ubuntu if you prefer.
The tablet will also have a docking station and a keyboard which are sold separately. These accessories allows for increased productivity while on the move.
Aside from having access to the apps in Google Play this tablet will also be able to access Ubuntu specific apps. Some of the popular software that you will be able to run includes Libre Office, VLC and possibly GIMP just to name a few.
It’s really great to see a device that let’s you have the option to switch between different operating systems. We hope that other manufacturers will follow this soon.
It’s doubtful that the Kite HD will be making its way to the U.S. market as it is sold in Italy . It can now be pre-ordered at the company website for US$ 413.
