Linux tupiniquim: Kurumim (K Desktop Environment + curumim, Tupi-Guaraní for “little kid.”)
DELL TROCA WINDOWS POR LINUX (Conversa Afiada): A number of other manufacturers have already been observed offering pre-installed Linux, and now Dell Brasil follows suit, with a fair amount of fanfare.
A Dell já começou a vender notebooks com o sistema operacional Linux. O gerente de marketing e produto da Dell, Sidnei Shibata, disse em entrevista a Paulo Henrique Amorim nesta segunda-feira, dia 12, que o Linux já foi instalado em alguns modelos de notebooks (clique aqui para ouvir).
Dell has now started selling notebooks with the Linux operating system. Dell’s marketing and product manager, Sidnei Shibata, said in an interview with Paulo Henrique Amorim on Monday, March 12, that Linux comes on various laptop models (click for audio).
Shibata disse que a venda de computadores da Dell no Brasil “vai muito bem”.
Shibata said Dell computer sales are “going very well” in Brazil.
Good. Never lose the chance to sell when someone sticks a microphone in your face. Nothing wrong with that, really.
Maybe now they will set up a service center so they can help me with the aftermath of that coffee-keyboard collision I had a few months ago.

Principal points from the interview with Shibata:
A Dell apenas faz o lançamento de produtos com Linux red hat em linha workstation, que é a linha chamada Precision da Dell. Essa linha já vem com o Linux instalado nas fábricas.
Dell only launches products with Red Hat Linux in its workstation line, which is known as Dell Precision. That line comes with Linux factory-installed.
Para Shibata, o Linux atende a um público exigente, que exige uma máquina mais potente, para rodar aplicações 3-D e para rodar processamentos gráficos.
According to Shibata, Linux serves a demanding public that demands a more powerful machine that runs 3D applications and can run graphics processes.
Personally, I just want minimal GUI and maximum processing power for NMM-TV, using Cinelerra, and FreeCiv.
And an updated Flash player for Linux. Or else a method of viewing embedded videos in browser that does not require Flash.
Já no modelo N Series vem com free DOS, que permite o cliente fazer o boot. Ou seja, o usuário poderá colocar o flavour de Linux que ele achar melhor, instalar o Linux que lhe convier.
The N Series model now comes with FreeDOS, which permits the user to boot. That is, the user can install whatever flavor of Linux he [or she] thinks best, install the Linux that suits him [or her].
Try Ubuntu. The PT-Br translation is fairly complete, too.
A Dell continua a ampliação de investimentos no Brasil. A Dell está confiante no mercado brasileiro.
Dell continues to increase its investment in Brazil. Dell has confidence in the Brazilian market.
“Motoboy wanna see naked hotties.”
It’s a local TV advertising joke, sorry: Motoboys, or motorcycle deliverymen, have a reputation for being urban primitives here in Sâo Paulo.
An ISP shows a motoboy being introduced to the Internet, and that is he first reaction. He speaks in Tarzan language, referring to himself in the Tarzan and using the first-person pronoun in the objective case: “Me Tarzan. You Jane.”
This city could not function without motoboys.
I am trying to get my wife to start calling me “motoboy” instead of that embarrassing pet name she has for me.
Factoid, source forgotten: Brazilian gadget retailers will sell more computers than boob tubes this year. Epoch-making, that, if true.
Wait until all those internauts starting Googling up the Rede Globo and find out what the Marinho clan has been pulling on them all these years.
