But you can also install Escuelas<br />
Linux on computers where<br />
Windows 8 or Windows 1 0 is<br />
running much more easily, thanks<br />
to the UEFI improvements added<br />
in the 4.4 release. Additionally, the<br />
installation manual has been<br />
completely redesigned.<br />
Numerous of the pre-installed<br />
packages have been updated to<br />
their latest versions at the<br />
moment of the release of Escuelas<br />
Linux 4.4, and among the most<br />
important ones, we can mention<br />
LibreOffice 5.1 .2, Mozilla Firefox<br />
45.0, and Geogebra 5.0.226.<br />

UBUNTU SDK IDE AND<br />
DEVKIT OFFICIALLY<br />
RELEASED FOR UBUNTU<br />
1 6.04, BUILT ON QT 5.6<br />
Built on Qt 5.6.0 and based on<br />
Qt Creator 3.5.1 , the new<br />
Ubuntu SDK IDE and Devkit<br />
packages come with a great set of<br />
new features. Among them, we can<br />
mention the ability to detect<br />
ARM64 (AArch64) devices, support<br />
for migrating templates to UITK (UI<br />
Toolkit) 1 .3, as well as the upgrade<br />
of the Ubuntu Desktop Kit to the<br />
APIs of the OTA-1 1 update for<br />
Ubuntu Touch mobile OS.<br />
Moreover, it is now possible to<br />
enable the distribution of the<br />
Ubuntu SDK IDE and DevKit<br />
packages in the "snap" and "click"<br />
formats, and there is also the<br />
ability to adjust the HTML5<br />
template to mirror the QML<br />
sample application. The UI Toolkit<br />
(UITK) component gallery has been<br />
improved, and it should work as<br />
expected now (available from<br />
Tools -> Ubuntu -> Showcase<br />
Gallery).<br />
In the coming days, the Ubuntu<br />
SDK team will prepare a small<br />
point release promising to add a<br />
new welcome screen, which<br />
provides users with direct access to<br />
the UI Toolkit showcase gallery, as<br />
well as a fully functional desktop<br />
kit targeted at click packaged<br />
(ARMHf) pocket desktop IDE<br />
(Integrated Development<br />
Environment).,<br />

THE ODROID XU4 IS A<br />
PALM-SIZED PC WITH AN<br />
OCTO-CORE PROCESSOR, BUT<br />
CAN IT BE YOUR DESKTOP?<br />
Mini-PCs like the Raspberry Pi<br />
are loved tinkerers and retro<br />
gamers — could they be fast<br />
enough to take on the everyday<br />
things you’d do on a desktop PC?<br />
Here’s a look at one single board<br />
computer, the ODROID XU4, and<br />
how it stacks up as a desktop<br />
computer, complete with x86<br />
emulation through Exagear<br />
Desktop, so it can run programs<br />
like Skype and even Microsoft<br />
Office.<br />
The ODROID XU4 is a single<br />
board computer built by<br />
Hardkernel. At the heart of the<br />
XU4 is a Samsung Exynos 5422<br />
2GHz, octo-core processor, with<br />
2GB of RAM. The board also packs<br />
gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0<br />
ports, a single USB 2.0 port, HDMI<br />
output, a CPU cooling fan, and<br />
general-purpose input/output<br />
(GPIO) ports for your own tinkering<br />
and experimenting. The ARMbased<br />
computer can run a number<br />
of operating systems including<br />
Debian, Ubuntu, and Android.<br />
