Everyone here after Go to "GO" Programming Language

Hi friends when i googling i come to know about "GO"
What is Go?
        It is a programming language like c,c++.
        This programming environment is fast, productive, and most importantly, fun.
        It is a open source an experimental new language called Go  combines the development speed of working in a dynamic language like Python with the performance and safety of a compiled language like C or C++. Typical builds feel instantaneous; even large binaries compile in just a few seconds. And the compiled code runs close to the speed of C. Go lets you move fast.

Go is a great language for systems programming with support for multi-processing, a fresh and lightweight take on object-oriented design, plus some cool features like true closures and reflection.

Want to write a server with thousands of communicating threads? Want to spend less time reading blogs while waiting for builds? Feel like whipping up a prototype of your latest idea? Go is the way to go! Check out the video for more information or visit golang.org.

To install go in linux

sudo apt-get install bison gcc libc6-dev ed

Sample Prgoram

$ cat >hello.go <
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
 fmt.Printf("hello, world\n")
}
EOF
$ 6g hello.go
$ 6l hello.6
$ ./6.out
hello, world
$

Ubuntu founder names 10.04 release

Lucid Lynx to help enterprises move into the cloud

The wraps are coming off the latest version of Ubuntu with creator, Mark Shuttleworth, announcing the name of the next release, Lucid Lynx.

Speaking via video to UbuCon in Atlanta, Shuttleworth said Ubuntu 10.04, which will the supersede 9.04 release, would be a long-term support (LTS) release with support for the desktop for 3 years and for the server for 5 years.

"It has been a very big year in the Ubuntu community and probably the biggest thing for us is the focus that is now starting to come to bear on our next release", he said. "It will effectively be the third LTS release in a row delivered on a two-year cadence."

Shuttleworth said it was testament to the open source community that the Ubuntu project was not only able to release the product on on a six-month cadence, but on a two-year major platform cycle for large organisations that need long term support and predictability for organisational planning.

Lucid Lynx will continue the close relationship with the Debian architecture and infrastructure, he said.

"We have had the opportunity to do some good behind the scenes support with Debian, which is the most important distribution to us. I hope over time that we can broaden that and elevate the art of free software."

The Lucid Lynx name is designed to bring together the aspirational characteristics of Ubuntu – Lucid for clarity and focus, and Lynx as a "thoughtful and considered predator".

On the desktop side, 10.04 will focus on delivering the best of GNOME 2.0. Subsequent releases will focus on the new technologies, architectures and experiences being developed as part of GNOME 3.0.

"On the server side, we’ll be taking the large scale, horizontal scalability, volume deployment, heritage of Debian and really try to push that into cloud computing," Shuttleworth said. "Making sure that 10.04 is a platform for anybody who is building a large scale infrastructure - for anybody who is trying to build the next Facebook, the next Google, the next eBay. Whether you want to start on (Amazon) EC2 and migrate to the managed cloud, Ubuntu 10.0.4 is going to be the platform."

Linux Is Step Ahead

Most of them not understand about difference between Linux and Microsoft

LINUX:
There are lots to say about the history of linux but it goes for a long so just have a look at of overview.
History of Linux

• In 1993 Linux was introduced by Linus Torvalds, a student in Finland. Who post to the comp.os.minix newsgroup with the words:

  "Hello everybody out there using minix -

  I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones."

• Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, chose Larry Ewing's design simply because he likes penguins. It is said that the name Tux was the winning entry in the 'Let's Name The Penguin While Linus Is Away Contest' with the 'T' standing for Torvalds and the 'U' and 'X' for Linux.
• 
  
• Torvalds announced in 1996 that there would be a mascot for Linux, a penguin
• Alan Cox - Has made major contributions in coding the Linux Kernel.
• It is Open Source
  
• The largest part of the work on Linux is performed by the community: the thousands of programmers around the world that use Linux and send their suggested improvements to the maintainers.
• Then some of the organization came forward to improvize the standard of Linux and the first one is Red Hat Linux introduced on 1994
• KDE(K DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT) is started to be developed by Matthias Ettrich
• Now there are lots of organization like Fedora,Ubuntu,SUSE,Debi, released Linux by modifying little structure and adding new features

This is how the linux is marked a special history
