It's best to mount it on the window frame (ln -s /dev/ac /mnt/window) so that you can get fresh air drawn in instead of recycling stagnant air which, if conditions are right, can lead to a build-up...

Technically Canonical and therefore Ubuntu are based in the Isle of Man. And I don't really see why the same nationality should mean close cooperation. However, Ubuntu does ship some code back to...

Fixing and configuring packages and applications builds a sense of ownership of your system, box if you will. I remember how much fun it was tinkering with Warty to get MPlayer to work.

All this popularity is great, so I imagine there are at least many tens of thousands who use Ubuntu, if not more.

I went over to Distrowatch.com and saw that for the past 12 months Ubuntu's...

dsginter: There's always Alt+F4 that closes the topmost window. And if you want you can even change that shortcut to something easier for you (e.g. the Super (Windows) Key instead). Just go to...

Could the Quick Reply not automatically quote the message in reply? It's nothing major, but it's a hassle going back to edit out the quote.

After a brief stint with sound problems (fixed by this post from the fabulous Ubuntu-geek http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=21211) Hoary is great!

Aside from the new Human theme colors...

What about naming it Virginix? Abstinix? ChastiBSD? Federal Communications Commissionix (or FCCBSD)? ;)

Amen.

Fedora was a good distro for me when I first started out. But as I grew, my needs and wants changed. Now Ubuntu fits my needs and wants better. That's not to say Fedora is bad, it's just not my...

I agree that the new colors are too brownish-red and that the old colors were too pale, but the older colors were better. The darker and redder colors leave a bad taste in my mouth. But I don't...

Yes, Goldeneye has it's final scene there.

Welcome :)

I'll probably just apt-get dist-upgrade, but I wouldn't put it past me to do a clean install (if and only if my sound works).

Anyone know how to make this work with Hoary/Xorg? I miss being so lazy. It seems like so much work to go _all_ the way to the upper left corner to go "back". Hrmph.

Space tourist?

I don't think that Canonical will make you upgrade your Ubuntu like Microsoft does. Since Microsoft OSs have so many security holes and exploits it's pretty much mandatory to get the newest OS...

Is there any codec that is to movies/video what Ogg Vorbis is to music/audio? IOW, is there an open-source format for video?

Your first post reminded me of this Bash.org nugget.

I like it but I think the font could be a little whiter or some other color to stand out from the background so it's easier to read.

But keep up the good work!

Thanks so much, Canonical
Ubuntu r0x0rs

And don't forget to do a bash.org search for haikus.

I have Red Hat GNU/Linux for Dummies and I enjoyed it. I'd recommend Debian GNU/Linux for Dummies...
