Installing Adobe Air & Destroy Twitter v2.02 in Ubuntu 10.04

17 Jul

For all those twitter fans out there who don’t leave a second of their life without tweeting here is how you can keep doing so even from your Ubuntu Desktops

Its just a two step process with installation of Adobe Air first and then the DestroyTwitter App

First download the Adobe Air Setup (It can be either .deb or .bin) and also download the DestroyTwitter App

Installing Adobe Air :

  • For .deb just double click the downloaded file or open with GDebi (pretty simple isn’t it)
  • For .bin file do the following
    1. Pop up The Terminal and browse to the directory where .bin file is present (Or just save it to the /home/user and just open the Terminal)
    2. Type chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin (You Can Also Do The Same Via Right Click>Properties>Permission and Check the Execute Option that allows program to be executed as Script)
    3. Then sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin (Enter Password If Required)

Since we’ve now installed Adobe Air ,installing Apps is just couple of clicks away

Extract the DestroyTwitter app from the zip file you just downloaded  & just double click your DestroyTwitter202.air file and there you go .

Note : Do try couple of more Apps Like TweetDeck, posty, twhirl, DeskTube (or just try a google search)

Happy Tweeting …!!!

Price

Most of the Linux distributions are free and the commercial ones are cheaper than Microsoft Windows

Microsoft is not available for free and the various editions are available for around $100 to $200

Software

Most of the Linux softwares are for free. But this is problem as well cause we can’t say that they are better compared to the non-free Windows softwares, but surely they can give a run for their money and in many cases, they are even better!

Due to a large market share, much larger amount of softwares are available for Windows, but all are not free. eg. Microsoft Office starts from 150$ but OpenOffice.org can nearly do everything Microsoft Office can do and it comes free!

Reliability & Security

Linux is very reliable and this is explained by the fact that most of the servers on the internet run on Linux.

As we had told you earlier, there are no viruses for Linux. If vulnerabilities are found, they get patched up faster due to the Open Source community.

Comparatively to Linux, Windows is less reliable, has tons of Viruses, and many vulnerabilities which take time to get patched.

Ease

With the evolutions of Desktop Environments like GNOME & KDE there are features that Windows users can dream of only in their next versions.

People may find Windows easier just because of the fact that they have spent more time using Windows.

Software Cost

Since most of the Linux softwares are free & Open Source.Due to the Open Source nature, you can even modify them and compile according to your needs. eg, OpenOffice.org, GIMP etc.

Great Windows applications are generally not available for free.

Hardware

Linux today supports almost all devices available in the market. Also since drivers are bundled with the OS itself there is no need of separate driver CD’s

Windows since holds considerable share in the market so too has great driver support but requires separate installation CD’s to install drivers
