Fedora 24 alpha - VirtualBox and FreeCAD software.


Today I tested the FreeCAD under Fedora 24 alpha with VirtualBox.
First I update my system using the standard updater for your desktop:

sudo dnf update --refresh
sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
dnf install freecad freecad-data


About this software the official webpage told us: FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters. FreeCAD is open-source and highly customizable, scriptable and extensible.

Is working well and you can read more from here.
I have some problems with sound under my VirtualBox.

I think something block the memory when I try to make some screenshot.

LibreOffice Viewer - tested.

I like LibreOffice because is opensource with a great team development.
Can be used with Windows and Linux.
Today I will told about the Android OS and LibreOffice.
LibreOffice is now available on Android as a native application with this formats:
• Open Document Format (odt, ods and odp);
• Microsoft Office 2007/2010/2013 (docx, xlsx and pptx);
• Microsoft Office 97/2000/XP/2003 (doc, xls and ppt).
Named LibreOffice Viewer comes with a first preview of the editing functionality and is sized to APK:48 MB / App installed:81 MB.
I think is need to improve this application with viewer for epub and some ebook document formats.
This will remove some applications.
Note: Microsoft Office come with 1GB of RAM and also can be used.
