App Runner: Run Apps easily on Debian/Ubuntu (Linux)

After almost a week tweaking and preparing this, it is finally out!
Have you have felt frustrated because it is hard to run files on Linux/Ubuntu?
Then App Runner is for you! it is a very small program that can launch any type of program/script (.elf .bin .sh .run .py , etc…)

Installing it is very easy, and it currently is packaged for Debian/Ubuntu (but it should work on any other system with nautilus, get the “source” package and just follow the instructions there: no compiling required!!!)

App Runner 0.2 released! Run files easily on Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)

New version of App Runner is out: App Runner 0.2!

App Runner is just a small program to easily launch any executable file (.sh, .elf, .bin, .py, etc… ) on Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)

Changelog:
*Dropped “beta” status
*New installer easier to use: everything is now inside the ”.deb” file
*Automatically checks if gnome-terminal is installed, and uses ”xterm” if ”gnome-terminal” is not detected

Note: If you already have an older version, you can install “on top” of that

Windows 7 To be Available From April 30th 2009

By: Abhishek | Apr 25, 2009

Microsoft Corp said on Friday a version of its long awaited Windows 7 Operating System will be made available from next week. The version, known as a 'release candidate', or RC, essentially means the world's largest software company is in the final stages of completing the operating system, the successor to the unpopular Windows Vista.

Microsoft said the RC will be available for download by program developers and IT professionals subscribing to the MSDN and TechNet networks on April 30 and available more broadly on May 5. The company has still not said when the finished version would begin to be installed on PCs or available to buy in shops, but the company's chief financial officer said on Thursday it could be as early as July.
