Cute As a Button. 24 hours of New Toys from Ubuntu, VMware, and Flock
(the wee VMware Player in action)
VMware has released VMware Player. It's free. It can't create images on its own, but it can "play" and take advantage of almost everything VMware Workstation can set up in an image, like shared folders, and vmware-tools. VMware also set up a cute little Ubuntu-based "browser appliance." Endless uses. Using right now.
Ubuntu announced Ubuntu server 5.10.
Firefox-based browser Flock finally has seen the light of day! Not that it was late, but it's been months of anticipation. That's a long time these days, to not get to touch it. The browser has hooks for lots of web services like blogging and social bookmarking.
