Before talking about this, my sugestion: DON’T INSTALL IT!

A software that can install/remove/update applications on Ubuntu without asking for the user’s password is a security risk…

The idea looks nice, I tried installing Opera with CNR and it install a DEBIAN file, meaning that the systems package manager could manage the package also. Lots of software available a click-away.

But I don’t recommend it for the reason I started with…

Just use the Official Ubuntu, Cannonical and Medibuntu Repositories and you will be fine

If you want to test it, do it at your own risk : CNR Client

*Edited*

For those you think that the software is installed in the /home you wrong:

~$ whereis opera
opera: /usr/bin/opera /usr/lib/opera /usr/share/opera

Emesene is a platform independent MSN Messenger client written in Python+GTK and distributed under the GNU GPLv2 license. The main idea is to make a client similar to the official client but with a simpler GUI and a nice look.

I’ve created a package of the latest emesene SVN rev999 1000 for those who want it.

Help the emesene project, submit your thoughts and bugs in the emesene trac

*Updated*

Just packed revision 1000 thats fixes some bugs like notify that were in r999. Version 1.0 of emesene is planned for revision 1024.

Introduction to Linux Device Drivers is a course that introduces the basic principles of device driver development on the Linux kernel.

This course does a pedagogical approach to the Linuxdevice driver subject, applying a systematization of concepts allied to a strong practical component in which the reader is invited to the gradual implementation of a device driver that will support a device specially conceived for this course. The reader can also consult the reference literature in which the following titles are distinguished: Linux Device Drivers, Understanding the Linux Kernel e Linux Kernel in a Nutshell.

Createad by a Artur D’Assumpção, a Portuguese developer, invested more than one year of work elaborating and preparing this course, in order to offer the community a complete learning manual.

At this point only the Portuguese version is available, but the English version should be ready by the end of the year.
