I can attest to what OP @Iqet has said. I had travelled from Berlin to London very cheap in 2011 (I think under 20 Eur , because the whom I bought it from, secondhand, was sharing the group ticket as well). It was my first trip to Europe when I was a student in UK. And I had fallen sick, hospitalized (insurance took care of it), and I missed my flight back, as I was in hospital. I had no money to book a flight or a proper train ride back to UK. That is when one kind stranger helped find this ticket in a website which was only in German and gave me the ticket printout and instructions to board the train. It was literally a life saver.
If you've never been in the Linux world, can certainly see how this is confusing.
This announcement is for the Linux kernel. The different Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Redhat, etc.) all bundle different versions of the Linux kernel and umpteen number of packages around that to create a cohesive Desktop or Server experience.
The kernel is the one core, similar piece between ALL of the distros. It is the desktops, package managers, etc. that differs between the distros.
Linux is an operating system kernel, the most basic layer of software managing the system and talking to your hardware. Linux exposes a standardized interface to the so called 'user space', where programs like Chrome or Apache etc run.
The Linux kernel is important, but only a small part of a whole operating system - it's the lowest layer, but there are lots of layers on top of it, including all the programs that the average user uses.
Ubuntu, Red Hat, and other Linux _distributions_ bundle a Linux kernel, common software packages, and utilities to manage these together. So there are many Linux distributions, but only one Linux kernel.
Ubuntu/Fedora/Arch/etc = Linux + lots of other stuff, without which the kernel is pretty useless (command shell/interpreter, GUI, command line tools, etc.)
Linux is just the kernel and all different distributions (Ubuntu et al) are based on it.
Think of it as if the Twitter Api was the kernel and all different clients like Twiterrific or Tweebot were the distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc...). Distributions are implementations of the kernel with lots of extra features and improvements.
Just because there is a remotest chance that some person will actually know of this website and even remotest chance that that person who knows this website remembers this when that person stumbles upon a unidentified mobile phone and upload that data and the ultimate remotest chance that that phone is mine.
And for this, I have to reveal my accurately reveal my location.
Has this geotooth developer got no other better things to do than this?
For heaven's sake, atleast put an intro to your site in your homepage.
There are zillions of social networking sites on the net. Last thing a person would want to do is, join another social networking site.
Yes, you might have put in some amount of work in this. But that is not enough reason for me to trust my data with you. You are asking too much info without giving me anything special in return.
My personal details are precious to me. I am not here to give them to you for free so you can monetise it using ads. What do you offer in return?
