Rhythmbox or Banshee in Ubuntu 12.04?

During the Ubuntu Developer Summit for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) the developers discussed the possibility of returning the Rhythmbox music player as the default audio management app for Ubuntu.

Jason Warner from Canonical what to know user's opinion in this matter, so write here in a comment if you want Rhythmbox to replace Banshee in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Image comment: Rhythmbox music player in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

I have to admit that Rhythmbox is my favorite music player in Ubuntu and I've replaced Banshee with it in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot).

Banshee has a lot of problems if you ask me. From the fact that it depends on Mono, and continuing with the time it takes to start and its overall stability issues.

Rhythmbox is light, it starts very fast, and it "just works". What do you think about Rhythmbox or Banshee? Which one should be the default music player in Ubuntu? Please post comments below!

Download LibreOffice 3.4.4 for Linux, Windows and Macintosh

 Download LibreOffice 3.4.4 for Linux, Windows and Macintosh platforms

LibreOffice 3.4.4 is here to fix some of the most-important bugs found by users in the previous releases. Fixes include bugs found in the Calc, Impress, Writer, SDK, and the core libraries of LibreOffice.

LibreOffice 3.4.4 is quite identical to the Release Candidate 2, but users should upgrade even if they have the lasted development version installed.

"Thanks to the contribution of Michael Bauer, a volunteer who took the long-time-abandoned Scottish Gaelic translation and produced a complete UI localization in just a few months, LibreOffice 3.4.4 adds yet another native-language version, bringing the total to 105."

"This shows the unparalleled value of copyleft licenses for end user software, as LibreOffice is now the most-important office suite when it comes to protecting cultural heritage worldwide, especially when the number of native speakers is not sufficiently attractive for large corporations to devote localization resources to." - said SUSE's Andras Timar, LibreOffice localization manager.

Please note that there are known issues with the LibreOffice 3.4.4 office suite when using GCJ (GNU Compiler for Java) Java. Instead, Linux users should install and use OpenJDK.

Highlights of LibreOffice 3.4.4:

· ability to work with and import SVG files;
· import filter for Lotus Word Pro documents;
· import filter for Microsoft Works documents;
· easily format title pages and numbering in LibreOffice Writer;
· enhanced Navigator Tool in LibreOffice Writer;
· better ergonomics for cell and sheet management in LibreOffice Calc;
· PDF import support;
· slide-show presenter console;
· better report builder;
· comes bundled with lots of great extensions.

LibreOffice 3.4.4 can be safely deployed for production use on all enterprises. LibreOffice also won InfoWorld's BOSSIE Award 2011 as Best of Open Source Software, and the Open World Forum Experiment Award of Most-Popular Software.

As usual, LibreOffice 3.4.4 also contains some non-critical problems, which will be fixed in the next maintenance release. LibreOffice 3.4.5 will be available for download in February 2012.

Download LibreOffice 3.4.4 sources and Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat, Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva binary packages  Also, visit our brand-new LibreOffice Extensions section.

  Download LibreOffice 3.4.4 executable for Windows.

 Download LibreOffice 3.4.4 packages for Macintosh.

uTorrent Used by Half of BitTorrent File-Sharers, Top 6 BitTorrent Clients on the Web

The latest data from the BitTorrent world shows a more diverse cast of BitTorrent clients dividing up the market, though there are still only a few clients battling for position.


Surprising no one, uTorrent is on top of the pile, with almost half of BitTorrent file-sharers running it.

The BitTorrent-focused blog TorrentFreak, with the help of the Tribler P2P research team at Delft University of Technology, put together a picture of the BitTorrent landscape.

Using a batch of 557,536 unique peers, the team looked at what BitTorrent client each of them were using. Almost half, 48 percent, of them were running uTorrent.

The popularity of the lightweight BitTorrent client is no secret, uTorrent recently passed the 100 million users mark.

Coming in at number two, no big surprise here either apart maybe from its growing market share, is Vuze with 22.49 percent usage, 125,417 peers.

Vuze is followed by the BitTorrent Mainline client, which is essentially a rebranded uTorrent, apart from the Linux version, with 13 percent of those in the study using it.

Transmission, the open-source BitTorrent client for Linux and Mac makes a somewhat surprising entry at number four, being used by 7 percent of file-sharers in the study.

Moving down the list, Libtorrent ran on the computers of 1.02 percent of the users, while BitComent, the once popular client, managed to get only 1.01 percentmarket share.

All other BitTorrent clients put together only added up to 1.27 percent of use, however, it was impossible to determine the client used by 6.22 percent of those in the study.

All-in-all, the picture is clear, uTorrent dominates and it shows no signs of losing any strength. The only real competitor is Vuze. Transmission could put up a good fight, but it's not available on Windows, greatly reducing its potential user base.
