PCWorld Albanian is a famous Albanian magazine published monthly and they also have their blog online, some of the articles were also printed on the magazine and they always gave a big support for our activities in Kosovo.

Xen lets KVM overtake
Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1]:
"Xen made virtualisation a popular issue on Linux servers and seemed for a long time to be the open source virtualisation technology of choice. But the Xen developers lost that advantage by setting the wrong priorities. KVM was able to take over some key positions and, with a large number of promoters, is now in a better position."

Fedora 15 KDE
Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1]:
"Overall I think Fedora 15 KDE is a very attractive desktop distro. It comes with a good selection of software and an attractive & highly usable version of KDE. There’s not a lot here to complain about and there’s quite a bit to be happy about. I suspect that Fedora 15 KDE will be one of the distros that wins over wavering GNOME & Unity users.
Fedora 15 KDE is suitable for beginner, intermediate or advanced Linux users."

An In-Depth Look at Fedora 15
Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1]:
"Fedora has long been touted as being one of the most professional, stable, cutting-edge distros out there, and seeing as though its latest version brings GNOME 3 along for the ride, I couldn't help but download and install it. I've since used Fedora 15 for an entire month, so read on as I take a look at this release from all angles."

Fedora has many faces and here’s a brief look at each of them for those who might be interested in taking another look at this fine desktop distribution."

Podcast: Igor Pires Soares – Fedora Project (Brazillian Portuguese)
Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1]:
"Igor Soares - Projeto Fedora
I had a chance to interview Igor Pires Soares from the Fedora Project and chat about how he got started with translations, participating on several organizing committees and his travels around the world! He talks about getting lost in Chile, learning English and Spanish, the role his university played on his career, his top 5 books, movies and his interest in music, including a very special moment during a U2 show in São Paulo. The interview is in Brazilian Portuguese, but anyone who can speak Portuguese or Spanish should be able to enjoy it!"

Video: GNOME 3 Shell (and Fedora 15)
Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1]:
"After looking around for a good introduction video to GNOME 3 I found this one. It is the best one I've found so far. Unfortunately it seems to only be available in Flash format. Since Fedora 15 was one of the first distros to ship GNOME 3, it also covers Fedora some. Enjoy."

Linux-Magazin on Fedora 15 (Spanish)
Maria Leandro forwarded[1]:
"Fedora 15 - 32 y 64 bits Fedora 15 -"Lovelock" es lo último de la comunidad GNU/Linux apadrinada por Red Hat. Esta nueva versión viene con muchas y muy interesantes novedades. Por un lado implementa la nueva versión del escritorio Gnome -Gnome3 -con su revolucionario Gnome Shell, un nuevo concepto de escritorio. Para navegar por Internet tenemos Firefox 4, el navegador de altas prestaciones de código abierto; y para productividad ofimática, la suite LibreOffice, el fork de OpenOffice avalado por la Open Document Foundation.
Aparte de Gnome, en el DVD podrás elegir instalar otros escritorios, tales como KDE 4.6, lo más moderno de este excelente escritorio; también se incluyen XFCE y LXDE, dos escritorios ligeros, pero extremadamente potentes y con multitud de funcionalidades. En la cara B encontrarás la versión de 64 bits, la más apropiada para portátiles de gama media y alta, y ordenadores de escritorio modernos"
