Friendly environment issues are still in buzz. Many electronics manufacturers are now starting to switch to a product that is more environmentally friendly. Again, Samsung released a mobile phone Eco bioplastic E200. Unlike the usual plastic material made from oil, bioplastic made from biological materials such as corn.

Actually, E200 Eco is not the first Samsung bioplastic mobile phone. Samsung last June has been released Friendly Environment Phone W510 and F268, made from corn-based plastic materials. But W510 and F268 are not entirely as friendly environment phone because the designs are made of combination ordinary plastic and bioplastic. Meanwhile, the entire chassis E200 Eco made from the corn-based bioplastic.

Samsung also claims itself as mobile phone producer using techniques that do not use hazardous materials, such as plumbum, cadmium and mercury. F268 and E200 with the chargers are free from material that could endanger the environment. Besides Samsung, Nokia and NEC also began using bioplastic for its products. Announced this year Nokia will launch 40 models  of friendly environment phone that can be easily recycled.

Linux users, especially Linux Ubuntu distribution may have been familiar with Automatix. It is a bundle application with a lot of popular programs inside, such as multimedia code and its supporting toot, email client, web browser, video software, audio software, and burning tools. But unfortunately a few months ago, Automatix paused due to Pioneer Linux acquisition.

However, on 26 July, the developer announced to public about the replacement of Automatix, namely Ultamatix. The system and performance of this product still based on the Automatix system as well as the appearance and functionality. But this product is designed to be able to run on Ubuntu Ultimate 1.8 Version, Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy Heron and several distributions derived from Debian Linux.
