No local parties where I'm at, but I figure I'd chime in here at the Forums. I've been running Jaunty since Alpha 5 and have had nothing but good luck. Truly a great release.
Get thee an extended partition! ;)
Not so long ago I was multibooting one of my machines with Windows XP, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, and two lesser known/used Linux distributions, and of course a swap...
I agree.
While many, including myself, have been running Jaunty for a while, two days isn't that long to wait, just to make sure the last kinks are worked out before release.
I second the suggestion of Remastersys. It is an excellent program that does exactly what it advertises. I've used it successfully many times.
1.) What version of Java JDK are you using? Sun or OpenJDK (or GNU...)? Did you install it manually after downloading the installer or did you use a version available in the repositories?
2.) Did...
Well, this strange. I removed the envelope, too, and I have no problems with the notifications. I'm still not familiar with the notification system's in and outs. Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit?
If you are running Jaunty, it should. I'm chatting with my wife right now and the messages are coming through on the notification system. If you are still running Intrepid (according to your profile...
Did you try and actually uninstall conky, not just remove its configuration files?
Try:
sudo apt-get remove --purge conky
Good catch, and nice addition.
The problem in the links you provided seems more along the lines of apt/dpkg wanting to try and download msttcorefonts whenever a package was installed. The resolution to their problem was to clear...
1. Don't follow outdated tutorials. If you come across something you want to do or install and the most recent advice you can find is from 2006, consider asking for specific advice here.
2. Use...
Typo fixed, thanks. Be more polite next time, please.
Also, to mention a thread in a closed forum:
Operating systems for really, really old computers
Do some research folks, or just keep...
With that PC, I would suggest upgrading your RAM (if possible - RAM is cheap these days) to at least 256Mb.
If you can, you could easily run SliTaz (loram), or Tiny Core. SliTaz, last I knew was...
After much thought and searching I have discovered this:

If you have knowledge (and command) of many languages, start looking through the Ubuntu Launchpad for bugs, and start by contributing patches, advice, and solutions.
Otherwise, you can start a...
It would be something interesting to attempt after Google releases Unladen Swallow.

Still, as has been said, some assembly would be required... ;)
SciTE or Geany are arguably the closest, overall.
+1 for MyBB. A great solution for forum/BB needs if phpBB doesn't suit the environment.
Good to see you here cmay... ;)
I agree with slavik/monkeyking.
As far as K&R is concerned, if you haven't already, take a look at the (dated) course

+1 to this. As a former Xubuntu user, I think this would be a fine fit...

I'm just glad it wasn't a rickroll...
They wouldn't be replacing them if the replacements weren't "improvements" over their originally developed apps. In that sense, those being replaced failed. It's like when an employer fires a...
The FBI's Virtual Case File comes to mind, an approximately $170,000,000 USD project that was scrapped.
