How to : install/Update Linux Kernel 3.19 RC6 on Ubuntu and Linux Mint

Linux Kernel 3.19 RC6 is out, you can Install/Update Linux Kernel 3.19 RC6 on Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS) and Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana

Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system.

Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.

What's new in Linux Kernel 3.19 RC6:

• The statistics look very normal, with the patch being about 70% driver changes (a Dell laptop platform driver revert being the biggest single patch, but there's networking, media, gpu, gpio, sound..) and about 14% arch updates (x86 and arm are the biggest ones, but there are small updates to others too) and the rest is mostly scattered all over
• (documentation updates, some networking, some filesystem changes - mainly btrfs, etc etc).

Linux provides users with powerful features, such as true multitasking, multistack networking, shared copy-on-write executables, shared libraries, demand loading, virtual memory, and proper memory management.

Initially designed only for 386/486-based computers, now Linux supports a wide range of architectures, including 64-bit (IA64, AMD64), AR

The most essential component of a Linux-based operating system is the Linux kernel. Without it, the entire system (libraries, applications, etc.) is useless. When creating a Linux distribution, it is also very important to know how to correctly optimize the Linux kernel package, in order to make it support certain hardware components or recognize a specific device.

How to install Google Chrome 40.0.2214 stable on Linux Fedora 21, Fedora 20, openSUSE 13.2, openSUSE 13.1, Mandriva and Mageia 5, Mageia 4

Google Chrome, or Chrome, is a web browser software that tries to compete with major players, such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and even the Opera web browser. It is available for the Linux, Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X operating systems. But Google Chrome is more than a web browser, as it combines sophisticated open source technology, borrowed from the Chromium application, into a minimal design, all in order to help users surf the web much faster, a lot easier, and safer than ever before.

A unique functionality of the Google Chrome application is its ability to search the web directly from the address bar. Just type one or more words in the address bar and immediately get suggestions for popular web pages. The application displays thumbnails of your top websites on the new tab page, a function that is popularly called Speed Dial. This functionality is also available on other similar products, and it allows you to easily access your favorite web pages instantly, with lightning speed, from any new tab. - See more at: http://media-opensource.blogspot.com/2015/01/google-chrome-390217199-400221485-beta.html#sthash.QyDAwU7o.dpuf

Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202 released, you can install on OpenSUSE, Fedora, CentOS, Mandriva and RHEL

Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202 released, you can install on OpenSUSE 13.2/13.1, Fedora 20/21, CentOS 5/6/7 and RHEL

Adobe Flash Player is a proprietary (closed source) and freeware web browser plugin designed to allow users to enjoy rich multimedia and Internet applications powered by the Flash technology.

Supports popular web browsers

Initially developed by the American Macromedia web development software company, the project was previously known as Macromedia Flash. These days it is actively developed by the Adobe Systems and Microsoft Corporation.

It is basically a simple library, a plugin for several well known web browsers, including the powerful Mozilla Firefox application, supporting playback of audio and video streams, as well as to view Flash websites and interact with rich Internet apps.

Supported operating systems

The plugin is known to work on Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, supporting the Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera web browsers.

Chances are that Adobe Flash Player will soon be deprecated in favor of the modern HTML5 web technology that is already used on well known multimedia hosting and streaming websites, such as Google’s YouTube.

What's new in Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.356:

These updates resolve a buffer overflow vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution (CVE-2014-0515).
