SlimCleaner 3.0, new version of social optimization software
Apr 20th
At the time we talked about SlimCleaner, a program that helped us to optimize our equipment making use of social intelligence. Thus we compared the programs installed with your database of users and offered us if the community were considered good, average or bad. Now just leave SlimCleaner 3.0, the new version dels social optimization software with some interesting news.
This new version adds the ability to perform secure file deletion and optimizing the use of hard disk scanning added and use to analyze and detect possible problems. In this way helps us identify which directories are taking up most of your hard drive. This utility is available for both internal drives to external drives which perhaps makes more sense to use, especially in the case of secure deletion.
This option is interesting if we need to free up disk space, and that often helps us identify folders or old files that no longer useful to us but still taking up space on our hard drives. In regard to secure deletion includes several methods, which override the space occupied by the file to prevent that the latter can be recovered. Depending on the number of times to repeat the deletion operation will be safer, yet also take longer to execute.
When indentificarnos to make use of social intelligence can now log on to our Facebook user. Beyond these options we found little change, perhaps too few to warrant a version change, as well as adding several menu options SlimCleaner Windows contextual and correct some minor errors found little. One tip if you’re going to try not express that you carry out the installation by default installs the AVG toolbar AVG and puts us as a search engine to default home page.
The truth is that social intelligence bet if it really is not the right one to assess whether a program is or is not the best. I guess for most it will be, but if we want to optimize your computer, you have to tread carefully, because they serve to compare with any team, but only those of the same characteristics. Not because Acrobat Reader is a popular software has to be the best option for a team with few resources, to cite one example.

May 23rd
Linux Mint 9 is available for download since last Tuesday. Isadora codenamed, is the new version of the popular distribution appreciated by all those who begin in the Linux world by concentrating on one site all packages, proprietary or not, we usually use in our equipment such as the codecs to play MP3, Java or Flash.
Following in the footsteps of his precedecesora Linux Mint 8 Helena continues to emphasize thecare of visual appearance , which maintains a nice appearance to work with it, and have tweaked slightly from its predecessor. Based on Ubuntu 10.04, 02.30 and includes Gnome desktop manager and Thunderbird 3 to manage e-mail. The main new features in this version we should note the following:
- New manager software has been rewritten and now contains about 30,000 packages available to users 10 times more than the previous version. We sell it as a merger between the Software Center Ubuntu, the software manager before and the Add / Remove Gnome. They have also ordered the software by popularity and give the opportunity for users to add comments about the applications that appear in the Manager Software.
- New backup tool , which has also been rewritten. It was a tool that would be necessary strength to migrate between different versions without losing data. It allows us to perform data backup as well as our selection of installed software. This option is very useful for installing on multiple computers, so do all the installation and restore one of them in others.
- Improvements in the options menu where we now have more options for configuring the various inputs of the menus and set the level of transparency of the once deployed. Moreover, the initial menu allows us to add our favorite applications to have better visibility and create menu shortcuts as much on the desktop.
- Installation options which mainly emphasizes around Wubi, the option allows us to install the distribution like a program within Windows and that was not available in previous version. Similarly, it is added by default the option to create a boot disk on a USB USB.
I think they have improved the distribution that I see has got to be the favorite distribution of many of the beginners in the Linux world for its ease of use, an attractive visual environment and the packages are installed by default, as FileZilla or Thunderbird more familiar to users coming to Linux than other options available by default in other distributions.
