+3 open source para bajar y probar: Chrome 3, VirtualBox y KompoZer
Posted on 21. Jun, 2009 by Edwin Chávez in Open Source
If you’re curious about Google’s Chrome, odds are you’ve installed it side-by-side with your existing browser of choice rather than replaced it outright. To that end, you might be interested in giving the current Chrome 3 beta a test-drive; you can try out this edition without actually installing it. Handy if you already have an existing Chrome install and you don’t want to disturb that either.
Virtual computing becomes all the more useful as more cores and more memory become available to everyone, and the free-’n-open VirtualBox is doing its best to stay on top of all that. Version 3 is now in a public beta 1 edition for those who want to test out the hot new features, like SMP support for guests. Despite Sun’s shaky status lately, it’s thrilling to see this project moving forward as aggressively as it does.
Another project that I thought had withered on the vine a while back but which seems to be getting a rejuvenative shot in the arm is the open source web editor KompoZer. It’s now in its 0.8 branch thanks to what appears to be a newly-active developer. Here’s hoping there will be a 1.0 at last before too much longer.
