What I'm after is more of a general user experience difference between the 2, rather...

Backups all done, ran it using rsync overnight. Took 9 hours over USB to an external HDD, hope I don't need to restore it. :)

Okay got it. Thanks very much.

Can you say when this would need to be done, what would need to be changed, and why this would be necessary?

Thanks for the advice. Sorry to take a week to get back to you I had to unexpectedly go abroad for this last week.

I need some advice on upgrading from 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx to 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin. Lucid support ends in 3 days on 2013-05-09, so I've kind of left it to the last minute.

I've been using Lucid since it was released but now I'm intending to upgrade to either Precise or Quantal, though probably Precise due to the LTS support.

Recently I've needed to test some code on...

Has there been any movement or advance on this in the 5 months since the last post on the issue?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I did work that out. Since I will be upgrading to Precise Pangolin soon I decided to live with the emails. :)

Hi,

Today I changed my DNS settings on my Ubuntu (Lucid) wired desktop PC to use the OpenDNS servers. It's fine, it's working, but I'd like to understand a section of advice on the OpenDNS how-to...

Ok thanks. I didn't realize the only way to tell was to look up the hardware specs.

Cheers.

How do I determine if my desktop PC can have a SATA III hard disk plugged into it?

I'm pretty sure my current drives are SATA II (but not sure).

Thanks.

Unfortunately the command "sudo dpkg --clear-avail" has not cleared the warnings permanently, I received another warning email today. :(

Any ideas?

Ok and thanks. Fingers crossed that'll stop those annoying emails.

Cheers.

Many thanks for your help.
