Today I decided I give the new Linux Flex Builder 3 a try, and install it in Gutsy. Now that I have a complete environment for developing nice Flash applications in Linux, first I am quite happy and couldn't have imagined this one year back and second as installation was not that straight forward as I thought I want to share my installation process here.

So finally Gutsy Gibbon is out, and already setup. You can find the installation summary on this page. But basically EVERYTHING worked out of the box. So where are all these little problems we used to have and loved so much to fix them?? Yes…they are all gone…
Today, the latest Ubuntu Version has been released. Codename: Gutsy Gibbon and entitled Ubuntu 7.10. So everyone is looking for what's new in this version. And I can tell you that you will surely find somewhere exactly these informations and screenshots and every exciting new feature. But if you want to really know what's so very special about this release, besides the new features and the new look…then you will have to read on.
I am using Gutsy(BETA) now for over a week. And I really love it. Some features I have always been missing with Ubuntu are now included. I will explain to you why you should move to Gutsy…
Deskbar Applet is fantastico
I use the key combination <ALT><F3>, for everything. Just want to launch a Program, <ALT><F3>, just type 'fire' and deskbar shows a command to launch Firefox. Or you quickly want to open a folder?? Just enter the name of the folder and select the option to open the folder. Search for anything(Emails, files,…) use the deskbar(with Tracker)
I love Tracker. I loved Beagle too, but Beagle used too much performance and indexing was not faster as with Tracker. Tracker allows one to add Tags to anything. Right now you have to make a search, select file and add tags. I believe someday, you save a file by giving a name and tags. This is the first step towards this solution.
Evolution Systray Icon
Evolution now displays a system tray icon when you receive new emails. Wow, how could one ever live without such a feature? Well sometimes it is really helpful. Of course you can turn it off 
Sudo Password Request
Sudo has now a [sudo] tag in front of the sudo's passwort request. So now it is possible to distinguish sudo's password from another one.
It's these small things which make life with Linux much more fun
Adobe released one week ago a new Linux version of the Flash player. I installed the latest version 9.0.r64 and I was quite happy to see that the most annoying Bug , where I could not trigger click-events in flash has been fixed. The mouse is now working perfectly again in Flash as it should be. There are more features added to this version, for example H264,…
