    [ubuntu] Re: ubuntu 9.10 release

    Guys, all indications are that 9.10 will be released on time - as in sometime today. Calm down. Spoiled kids, Dapper was two months late. Now get off my lawn. :)

    [ubuntu] Re: Media center

    I also highly recommend XBMC (formerly known as Xbox Media Center). I use it as a living room media center with a computer hooked up to a tv. It's not in the official Ubuntu repos, but it's pretty...

    I want to run a Dell Studio Hybrid into a standard definition tv through an adapter like this. So has anyone tried the analog out with Ubuntu?

    [ubuntu] Re: New(ish) to Ubuntu

    You don't really need to increase your swap space and turn off suspend. Increasing the swap space allows Hibernate to function, and Suspend is related to RAM. So there's no real need do both fixes...
  8. [all variants] Re: How to create a minimal Ubuntu with Elisa Media Center only

    Firstly, I second the recommendation of xbmc, and I highly suggest you give it another go and thoroughly check out the library function as well as the MediaStream skin and the Aeon skin.

    [all variants] Re: A question about free software?

    There is an unfortunate ambiguity in the word "free." There is free as in no cost (often time referred to as "gratis," or "free as in beer"), and there is free as in freedom (often referred to as...

    [ubuntu] Re: Downloading UBUNTU?

    The iso is the iso. In a manner of speaking, each 6 month release is a shapshot, frozen in time until you dist-upgrade six months later. The exception to this is kernel upgrades and necessary...

    [all variants] Re: 32 or 64 bit

    Pretty much. The software you install is dependent on the OS version. 32 bit Linux gets 32 bit software.

    Linux is safer by design. That's no myth. But at the same time, it's not invulnerable. "Linux doesn't get hacked" is a myth, too. The account policies of most distros helps alot, in addition to...

    [all variants] Re: Can't mount USB devices

    Well, you could try it the "old school" way, skipping any sort of automatic mounting. It's why the /mnt/ folder is still there.

    It is my understanding that, due to the sharing of memory across two modules, 2x512 would actually be FASTER than 1x1GB. But I doubt it would be monumental.
