LibreSoft to release "SuperX OS v2.0" codenamed "Darwin" on 23rd May, 2013

After the huge success of SuperX v1.1 "Cassini", LibreSoft (formerly TechnoSunz) has officially announced today that the new version of the SuperX Operating System v2.0 codenamed "Darwin" will be released on 23rd May, 2013 and will be available for free download on their official website.

About SuperX OS

SuperX is the ultimate Linux platform, computer operating system. The system is highly modular and flexible with user interface especially designed with enterprise desktop in mind. Focused on simplicity and user-friendliness, SuperX comes with an out-of-the-box experience, automatically configured. The user can focus on his work rather than messing with complex underlying Linux system.

Fast and incredibly easy to use, SuperX operating system powers thousands of PCs around the world. It works your existing PC files, printers, cameras, music players and smartphones - and it comes with thousands of free applications.

Introduction to SuperX OS v2.0 "Darwin"

SuperX 2.0 codenamed “Darwin”, is named after the great English scientist Charles Darwin as a tribute to his contributions towards science. It comes with Linux kernel 3.2 and KDE 4.10.2 by default. For those who want newer kernels, they are available in the repository.

SuperX 2.0 “Darwin”

Availability

    ISO will be available for free download on Thursday, 23rd May 2013.

What's new in v2.0 "Darwin" ?

New Development model: SuperX 2.0 is a whole new release of SuperX which differs fundamentally with previous 1.x releases. Starting from SuperX 2.0 we are going our own way, making a diversion from our upstream distribution. We still use Ubuntu codebase but from this release we only use the LTS versions and development is done on its solid foundation. But unlike other solid, stability concerned Linux OS, we provide the latest userland software like LibreOffice 4 and KDE 4.10. Starting from Darwin, we are keeping our core stable but will provide latest and greatest apps, all tested before we push them to you.

Minor releases: We are also introducing Minor releases with 2.x. There will be minor releases that will follow 2.0 like 2.1, 2.2 and you can directly upgrade to them just by updating the packages, using the Software Updater. You can install Darwin today and keep upgrading within the 2.x series. Each series will be supported for at least 3 years (maybe more).

When 3.0 will come out you have to do a fresh install, as it will have core changes, and keep on upgrading with the 3.x series. Minor Releases are also part of the New Development Model as explained above.

User Experience: User Experience is one of the key changes in Darwin. Previous versions of SuperX had KDE Search And Launch (SAL) as the default UI, actually we were one of the early adopters of SAL over conventional desktop back then.

But, with SuperX 2.0, we are introducing the “Old but Gold” - The Desktop. SuperX 2.0 “Darwin” is the first version of SuperX to have a conventional desktop UI by default but, added with modern utilities like our own – SuperX App Launcher.

SuperX App Launcher

SuperX App Launcher is the new launcher that will debut with Darwin. It is based on KDE Homerun's code, made with Qt/QML. SuperX App Launcher is special as it allows the user to get to their most used applications very fast by adjusting itself according to user's usage of the computer. It learns and adapts as the user uses it.

Default Software Selection

Some noted apps in the default software selection are: LibreOffice 4 (Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw), VLC Media Player, Musique Audio Player, Minitube, OpenShot Video Editor, K3B, Mozilla Firefox, Chromium browser, Mozilla Thunderbird, GIMP, Blender.

These are only the featured apps, but there are more apps once installed, including few games.

Known issues

No 32-bit only CPU support: Although most of the modern day PCs have 64-bit compatible CPU, but some old PCs are still 32-bit only.  
SuperX 2.0 “Darwin” is not designed for such old machines, and will not work on PCs with 32-bit only CPUs.

Free DVDs

With SuperX 2.0 “Darwin”, we are starting a free DVD shipment programs anywhere within  India. All DVDs will be sent via India Post (भारतीय डाक). International shipping is also planned in the future.

One thing to note is that these free DVDs are only available for people who do not have access to high speed Internet connection, so we will not ship to places that are known to have high speed Internet available and also one person may order one free DVD only for one release series of SuperX.

How to Split and Join files using HJSplit ?

Hello everyone, i'm back after a long time, i hope u guys have been visiting my blog. Today, in this post, i am going to tell you about a small but powerful freeware program for splitting and recombining files. This program is called "HJSplit". It is available for both Windows and Linux Platform.

Why should one want to Split and Re-Combine files ?
1. For instance, think of a file of size 2.5 GB and your friend wants to take it from you but he has only a 2GB pendrive, so he can't take the file in one go. Using this tool, you can Split that file into two or multiple files and then you can transfer it very easily.

2. HJSplit can also be useful when you want to upload a huge file to a FTP server because it is usually easier to send/receive, upload/download smaller parts than handling the entire file in one go.

3. HJSplit can also be used for backups. For example, A file of 12 GB file can be split into multiple smaller parts which then can be burned to CD's, DVD's, copied to USB sticks or uploaded to a online backup service.

4. HJSplit for Windows and Linux support files of over 100 Gigabytes, MD5 checksums, file-compare, "run and install" and both editions are fully portable.

Windows Users: Download HJSplit by clicking here>>

Linux Users: Download HJSplit by clicking here>>

How to install and use the tool?
Follow the Step by step tutorial below:
1. After downloading the file, run the HJSplit.exe file (for windows users).

2. Click on "Split" (if u want to split a file) , "Join" (for joining splitted files into a single file) or "Checksum" (for checking MD5 sum of an OS). Here, i am going to show you how to split a file:

3. Click on "Split" . It will open up the File Split window as you can see in the image below:

4. Click on "Input File" to browse the file which you want to split.

5. Define the output location by clicking on "Output".

6. Then enter a value for "Split file size" either in Kilobytes or Megabytes.

7. When everything's set, Hit the "Start" button.

8. Wait for some minutes (depends on the file size) and done!!!!!!
