UberStudent-2.0.4-64 bits


UberStudent-2.0.4-64 bits
Student is one of the best LINUX distributions with lot of educational packages.
It is an Ubuntu Derivative.
It has amazing amount of educational utilities for student to research workers.
It is cloud ready and that is, it's strength.
It is heavy on my computer with 1 GiB of RAM.
One should have ample RAM for its installation and daily use.
It has everything except blender.
Why blender is not included, I do not know.
Its only disadvantage is that it is Ubuntu based and Unity desktop might be an Achilles heel.
But with Debian, the God Father of Linux is there as it is, there is no attrition to Linux and UberStudent.
I feel it should take the Debian root to its advantage and drop Ubuntu.
This does not mean I am against Ubuntu.
I am one who supports Ubuntu’s new found direction and freedom.
It has done the donkey work and now it should be free to decide its future without worrying about the community.
After all Ubuntu is not blocking its derivatives of preemptive actions or closing the door.
All the utilities are there as Open Source.
It is the onus of the derivatives to enrich the repositories with their own packages without waiting for Ubuntu to give the lead.
Talking about Linux apart from Debian, Yellow Dog (Redhat derivative) and Ubuntu nobody else supported the Apple hardware.
I never used Ubuntu on a regular basis, coming from Redhat base and as a Mandrake user. 
Then I changed to Suse but gave it up when Novel took over.
Now I use many derivatives including PCLinux which does not have 64 bit distribution but supports 32 bi and 64 bit hardware.
I have only one 64 bit box and all the others are 32 bits.
I came across Ubuntu by accident and used it as a demonstration utility.
Now I am so much in love with Ubuntu, I am downloading and collecting its old versions in my archive.
Linux should encourage competition.
It can stand up to challenge and that is, its strength.
Ubuntu’s move is a challenge to old school but that itself should be the guiding principle to make appropriate adjustments in the developer mentality.
All this is to support UberStudent with all the might.
It should stand up to the challenge and develop its own personality.
All those who are students and in education both school and higher institutions should do their utmost to make UberStudent the best educational package on this planet.
Its cloud preparedness is its strength, with or without Ubuntu One.
