Chromium is an open source web browser. The project was founded by Google, which built
Google Chrome on top of the code of Chromium. Sadly enough, only a Windows version of Google Chrome as been released.
What I learned today is pretty awesome.
While I knew that Linux and Mac versions were in the works, I found out that a
PPA repository for daily builds of Linux’s
Chromium does exist ! (we’re talking about a
native non-using Wine version)
Before explaing how to install it, let me just specify we’re talking about
alpha builds, and pretty incomplete ones. Just basic web surfing works.:
Chromium may don’t work, make your loose data or make your loose your
cat. Remember if that anything breaks, you’re on your own – install it
only if you’re confortable with restoring your system/data. Also keep in mind this disclaimer on the PPA’s launchpad page:
Ubuntu daily builds of the Chromium browser.
The PPA is maintained by a bot, so it contains completely untested
builds, mostly useful to track regressions or if you are curious, or
just brave.
The package is still a work-in-progress, so is Chromium, please be patient.
FAQ: no native 64bit debs planed for now. The amd64 package is using ia32-libs.
Project page for Chromium in Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/chromium-project
How to install Chromium on Ubuntu
Open your
/etc/apt/sources.list file !
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add these lines at the very bottom of it:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
then upload and install:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
Update: due to some
bug Chromium requires the
msttcorefonts
package to actually show content (otherwise it will just show a blank
content area). So, make sure to have multiverse repositories enabled and
also type:
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

YouAmp is yet another music player for Linux. But it is different than the other players ,if you are convinced by these outstanding features you can give it a try here. Do not be afraid if nothing happens on first startup as it will index your whole home directory which takes a while.
Basically this re-implements Tracker for music files – and indeed one of the features of this release is that I throw away Tracker. Although the Tracker devs never get tired of praising the cool new features they are implementing, their last stable release Tracker 0.6 is an unusable piece of crap. But I am actually looking forward to try out Tracker 0.7 once it gets an stable release for using it with YouAmp.
For those waiting for playlist in YouAmp on maemo: this release means they are not far away. The main purpose of the last release on maemo was basically to sync the code with the desktop version. Now it only needs some polish and UI love, so it works well on the small screen.
Features
* intuitive music browsing
* Album Art display
* last.fm submission
* Replaygain Support with smart replaygain mode selection
* gapless playback
* uses Tracker for searching
* plays everything that Gstreamer understands
* intuitive drag’n’drop
Install youamp in Ubuntu
For
ubuntu 9.10(Karmic) Users
Open the terminal and run the following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rojtberg/youamp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install youamp

GyachE Improved (GyachI) program is a fork from Gyach Enhanced Yahoo! client for Linux operating systems intended for bug-fixes and further development that supports the Yahoo! Messenger Protocol. After a period of no progress on Gyach Enhanced for about a year, a group of GYach Enhanced users decided to continue development of that client, fearing that original author Erica Andrews lost interest or abandoned project altogether.
GyachE Improved supports almost all of the features found in the official Windows Yahoo! Messenger client: Voice chat, webcams, faders, ‘nicknames’, audibles, avatars, display images, and more. GyachE Improved uses Gtk+ 2 for its user interfaces
Install Gyachi in ubuntu 11.04 (Natty)
Open the terminal and run the following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:adilson/experimental
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gyachi
Once you install gyachi you can open and use check the following screenshots
