‘apt‘ or the Advanced Packaging Tool is one of the most powerful system tool available in Ubuntu. If you are a GUI lover or a classic terminal junkie, you have to deal with it no matter what. Almost all Ubuntu users have used it knowingly or unknowingly. So, now lets take a walk down the basics of this tool, how it works and how to master it.
UberStudent (uber meaning “productive“) is a free, and opensource Ubuntu-based Linux distribution for working, learning and teaching academics at the higher education and advanced secondary levels. It is supported by a free Moodle-based virtual learning environment. It is also for Lifelong learners, researchers, and knowledge workers of all types.
UberStudent fundamentally is the best Ubuntu Derivative for education. It is developed by professional educators around a core skills approach. These are research & writing, study, and self-management skills, essentials to students regardless of their academic major. It can additionally be extended for specific academic disciplines using its on-board tools to finding and installing additional software. While main focus is academic computing, UberStudent also contains stuff for multimedia, graphics, messaging, and gaming, all with the needs of students in mind. Its the best Ubuntu derivative for students out-of-the-box.

LibreOffice is a productivity suite that is compatible with other major office suites, and available on a variety of platforms. LibreOffice is a fork of the famous project OpenOffice project which is now under Oracle. It is free software and servers all your basic needs. It is the result of immense efforts by The Document Foundation aimed at making an Office suite or desktops that servers all your needs for free.
A group of key contributors to the OpenOffice.org (OOo) project have formed a new organization i.e. ‘The Document Foundation‘ to manage a community-driven fork of the popular open source office suite. Their goal is to liberate the project from Oracle’s control and create a more inclusive and participatory ecosystem around the software & save it from sudden-death just like Opensolaris project.
