Welcome to my personal website.
My Computer has alerted me to the free upgrade through Windows Notification area and it appears Windows 10 is available on July 29th of this year. You can reserve your free copy via email. Now I wonder how this works with people who have more then one computer like myself.
Installing 32 bit Skype on a 64 bit Debian Box
Skype only comes in 32 bit so for any one that installs Debian 64 bit they will need to do a little work to get Skype up and running.
First thing you want to do is obtain Skype. You can do this at skype.com Go to Downloads and select “Choose your distribution” and pick from the drop down menu “Debian 7.0 (Multiarch)”
After you have it downloaded you need to open up Terminal
su (so you are root, you will need your root password)
dpkg –add-architeture i386 (You need to add support for i386 since skype is only a 32 bit application)
apt-get upgrade (This ensures everything is up to date)
dpkg -i “skype-debian…..” (hit tab to complete it. Or type the entire file name out that you downloaded. )
If you have a error about un-met dependencies which occurred for me then run this command
apt-get install -f
Now run
dpkg -i “skype-debian…..”
After it is done installing you will find it in the Internet Folder ready to use.
Microsoft will let the cat out of the bag today with new details about the next Windows operating system known as Windows 10 today.
Microsoft unveiled Windows 10 in September but is expected to share a lot more today which will be streamed at 9 am pacific time. Some of the expected speakers at the event include CEO Satya Nadella; Terry Myerson, Joe Belfiore and Phil Spencer.
Windows 10 will follow Windows 8 skipping the name Windows 9. We should be able to welcome back the missed and loved start menu which was torn away from Windows 8, which in my opinion lead to a lot of people not upgrading to Windows 8.
It is my hope Windows 10 will address many of the problems found and created in Windows 8.
