Yes, the title is talking about new operating system to the market. As I mentioned earlier(the post is in bahasa indonesia, so i suggest you to use google translate to understand ). Google is having hidden agenda to beat microsoft. This is the real result from cloud computing implementation. Most the program code is executed on the server, including all the data and everything. The client is just use small computing task to render the result from the server. For thou of you who don’t know google’s chrome browser feature. This is the key features :

- Multi tasking, yes even browser have multi tasking capabilities. Means that everypage that you open using the chrome browser, is compute the page using differents memory allocation. So if there’s crash on the page, it will not crashing the other pages.

- Google Gears. It’s download static contents from your internet pages that having gears capability. So you can search e-mail or any other data in live experiences. It’s reduce the amount to loading the whole pages.

The OS is still far from perfect. But we will see.

It’s a 10 pm in friday night, suddenly one of my friends sent a text message.

man, need your help for installing ubuntu. are u free? may come upstairs?

Fortunately we are living in the same apartment & the same block, so I just need to use lift to reach his unit. I was free at that time, so i decided to come upstairs and do it.

Overall we already have what we need to do the installation. Installation CD, we are using ubuntu 9.04/Jaunty Jackalope. So the next big thing is creating the partition for it. Here are the partition type that you need before installing any kinds on linux/unix.

Ext3FS; stands for third extended journaling file system. This is where your boot & root of your file system should be. In windows environment, this kind is like your C:\ directory.
Swap; this is where your “swap” file located. This swap partition will act as a virtual memory for your system.

For ease of use, I suggest you to use any kind of partition software on the market, like partition magic, acronis disk editor etc. Most of it support on-the-fly partitioning process. The main reason is, when you try from ubuntu installation GUI is, the interface is not friendly, you can destroy your data by mistake.

After configuring your partition(remember to create that 2 partition mentioned above). Restart your computer, insert the ubuntu cd, boot it, follow the instruction until showed the interface to choose installation location. Select ext3, and configured it as “/” in mount point & boot. repeat for the swap type partition. except you configured it as “swap” in the configuration. Back to the previous screen & proceed to the next step.

Now it showing installation process. Just wait until all the installation finish, configure your display & then you already having linux without crashing your windows.
