Difference Between Ubuntu and Fedora
Ubuntu and Fedora are two distributions of Linux that are being distributed for free as open source software.
Fedora is a very popular linux distribution for desktops but it has been superseded by the meteoric rise of Ubuntu due to its user friendly interfaces. Fedora uses the “Red Hat” style, using RPM packages. RPMs are less standardized, so package breakage is more common. Also, RPMs cannot track their dependencies automatically, so you will experience “RPM hell” easily if you are not careful.
Ubuntu aims to make it easier to switch to a Linux based system for ordinary PC users with minimal problems. It also minimizes the need for typing into a command prompt and moves the majority of operations into a graphical interface like the Synaptic package manager. Ubuntu uses the “Debian” style, with DEB packages.
Although both are linux but Ubuntu and Fedora differ mainly in their package management methods. These are similar but incompatible with each other.
Installation: This is a little bit less important but might impact users is the installer.
Ubuntu has a very small installer as it does not come with a lot of packages. After installation, it prompts the user to check online for additional packages that might be needed for the OS to run at optimum or just any package that the user might want or need.
Fedora, on the other hand, installers often have a lot of packages that you can choose from during installation, meaning bigger file sizes for the installer itself.

Patients of chrome hepatitis C, who drink three or more cups of cofee daily, have a 53 percent lower risk of liver disease progression than non-coffee drinkers, says a new study.
The study, led by Neal Freedman of National Cancer Institute (NCI) found that patients with hepatitis C related cirrhosis who did not respond to treatment benefited from increased coffee intake. No effect on liver was observed in patients who drank black or green tea.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects approximately 2.2 percent of the world’s population, including three million Americans, Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cities HCV as the leading cause of liver transplantation in US, accounting for 8,000 to 10,000 deaths annually.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimated that three to four million people contract HCV each year with 70 percent becoming chronic cases that can lead to cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer.
This study included 766 participants enrolled in the Hepatitis C Antiviral Long Term Treatment against Cirrhosis (HALT-C) trial who had hepatitis C related cirrhosis and failed to respond to standard treatment of the anti-viral drugs peginterferon and ribavirin, according to an NCI release.
Participants were seen every three months during the 3.8 year study period to assess clinical outcomes. Liver biopsies were also taken at 1.5 and 3.5 five years to determine the progression of liver disease.
“Results from our study suggest that patients with high coffee intake had a lower risk of disease progression,” said Freedman.

Online Advertising and Year 2010
Millions of new pages of content are being created every day and the vast majority is created by the individual publisher, but the advertising inventory is growing at massive multiples to the actual demand. With this, publishers will need to find new ways to be found and advertisers will need to find innovative ways to get in front of this micro created content. Here are some online advertising trends for 2010.
Advertising Marketplaces
These directories, such as our own AdvertiseSpace marketplace, will sprout up out of need for advertisers to find grouped niches that meet their needs and don’t have the time to scour the entire web looking for great sites to market their products on.
Social Media Advertising
We saw the birth of Twitter Advertising in 09 with companies like Sponsored Tweets and Ad.ly. In 2010 expect to see tons more advertising in your twitter feeds. Facebook and MySpace advertising also grew in ‘09 with their self serve create your own banner, platforms and for this year expect more growth and hopefully some innovations with the tools.
Indy Publisher Advertising
Major advertisers are going to seek our smaller independent ‘voices’ in lieu of massive publishers to return to grass roots. This will be a major shift in 2010 as big percentages of ad dollars will shift to the little guy.
Smart phone Advertising
Advertising within other people apps. You can run standard banners within iphone apps and there are already a ton of iphone app ad networks. iphone is the clear choice right now, with Android a close 2nd and Blackberries’ a distant 3rd. AdMob help show everyone the potential value in this model with its acquisition by Google for 750 million.
Advertising Exchanges
There is tons of buzz lately about Exchanges, but they are not new, and some view as worse than general ad networks with a higher barrier to entry and most publishers fear them because they make inventory even more price sensitive. They are good for advertisers and publishers with billions of remnant inventory and nothing to lose. AdExchanger is a great blog to read more about these, but they are obviously a little biased.
Decline in Ad Networks
2010 will be the year that publishers stand up and realize that Ad Networks having been taking advantages of them for far too long, with low fill rates, crappy ads and terrible payouts. Publishers will take control over their own inventory and demand higher rates.
Remnant Optimization
Publishers are going to demand more for their un-sold inventory and use more remnant inventory optimizing tools. These tools basically scroll through all the ad networks and find the highest paying banner for the open ad spot. 2 of the biggest ones are The Rubicon Project and Pubmatic.
Total Impact Measurements
Advertisers will continue to demand better brand engagement metrics besides the old standard impressions and clicks, measuring conversations and overall impact of advertising campaigns.
Application Advertising
Not advertising within an app, but actually building your own app as an advertising mechanism. Hey when someone is playing a game based on your brand, you can’t get more interactive than that? (Except actually using your real product
Demand Side Platforms
Everyone is also raving about DSP right now too, which is demand side platforms or even publishing. Some agencies are grouping together to have their own pool of ads to buy from. This is bad news for publishers. Basically it is media buyers saying, your content is crap and I think I could do better myself, or I just want to control the price market myself by creating my own exchange.
Project Management
Project managers must focus on three dimensions of project success, time within the budget at a level of quality.
Top management for project must actively set priorities. Project sponsors and stakeholders must be active participants, not passive customers.
Project managers should acquire the best people they can and then do whatever it takes to keep the garbage out of their way.
Project managers must fight for time to do the things right.
Planning is everything.
Project manager responsibility must be matched by equivalent authority. They must feel and transmit to their team members, a sense of urgency. Successful projects should be time-tested.
All project should be deliverable and all project activities must be visualized and communicated in vivid detail. Deliverable projects must be evolved gradually, in successive approximations. Projects require clear approvals and sign-off by sponsors.
Project success should be correlated with thorough analyses of the need for project deliverables.
