It is unquestionably the case that only a small percentage of Linux users would be truly satisfied not having access to a graphical user interface. The graphical desktop environment has become so ingrained in almost everyone's computer activities. Nevertheless, even in 2012 there are many reasons why console based applications have an important part to play.

Subject: Recover Your GPG Passphrase using 'John the Ripper'
John the Ripper is a free and Open Source password cracker. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords and It is one of the most popular password testing and breaking programs. It combines a number of password crackers into one package, autodetects password hash types, and includes a customizable cracker. JTR is available in official Ubuntu repositories. A custom JTR build includes a nice gpg2john binary that converts your key file into a format that JTR understands.

Subject: Next Linux kernel release supports more ARMs with less code
Version 3.7 of the Linux kernel will be the first to support multiple versions of the ARM processor—a starting point toward a much-needed consolidation of Linux support for the system-on-a-chip architecture. In the long run, the changes could mean broader support for ARM by popular Linux distributions, making it easier for developers to build versions for a broader variety of target devices—everything from enterprise servers based on massive arrays of ARM processors to tablets and smartphones. And other changes in the 3.7 kernel could make it more attractive for low-cost touch tablets and other mobile devices—as well as a hacker's replacement for Windows RT.

While LLVMpipe may be a different story, when using hardware-accelerated graphics drivers with the recently released Unity 6.8 desktop, the performance doesn't change much. For at least one driver, there's even a new OpenGL performance regression under certain workloads. Here's some test results of Unity 6.6 vs. Unity 6.8 on the Radeon and Nouveau drivers.

One of the most heartening developments recently has been Africa's current embrace of computer technology. That includes open source: for example, Nigeria has been running an open source conference for several years now, and the Kenyan government is starting to deploy free software widely.Sadly, this increasing interest in open source has called forth something far less welcome: Microsoft FUD against it:

More specifically, from Amazon.com. But it goes beyond just the search results because in the latest beta that I have been playing with, Ubuntu 12.10 beta 2, there is an icon for Amazon.com right on the Dock.And there is one on the Dash too.

Cinnarch is a 32 and 64-bit distribution that offers a completely Arch based and compatible system with Cinnamon pre-installed. Apart from the popular desktop environment, it offers every day use applications like the Chromium browser, LibreOffice suite, Adobe Flash Player etc. The installer is not there yet as it is a text installer, but I am sure this won’t a problem for the majority of you.
