I've been using Banshee recently -

Nice & light, plays Mp4s, very straightforward to use

It's in Ubuntu Software Centre/the repos generally...

Many congratulations!

All the best

There wasn't any Mod music in the Fifties - the Mods were strictly Sixties...

Fifties music for Beatniks was the same as for anywhere else: Dave Brubeck, Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, Coltrane,...

Faster on my Jaunty/64-bit/ext4 system than FF or Opera. It just is.

A bit basic, maybe, but most of the time it does everything I want. I'll be interested to see how the webkit version...

So in the UK (according to the BBC website) I will be able to upgrade to Win7 for £80 - £200, depending on version

If I buy the OS from new, it'll be £150 - £230

Liking it a lot: 64-bit version and ext4 & all is fast & (so far) steady as a rock

I also particularly like the New Wave theme - first Ubuntu desktop that looks grown-up straight out of the box......

It's not a blog - it's in the newsprint version of the paper as well as the online edition -

Unusually prominent, in fact, for anything GNU/Linux...

I've just built myself a new system using a Gigabyte mobo, I think it was a GA-M68SM-S2L - cost about £40, anyway - with an AMD Athlon 64x2 5400, 4Gb RAM from Crucial, plus an Nvidia 7300GT graphics...

I've got Opera on my 64-bit 8.04.1 Ubuntu and Flash works beautifully -

And I'm pretty sure that when I was using 32-bit Ubuntu, there were absolutely no problems

So I would guess that Opera...

Spread the joy (in the UK, at least).... ;)

So Amazon UK have just introduced their MP3 download service -

And what do you know but straight off the bat they include a Linux version of their Downloader software -

Have you thought of Zenwalk?

It runs on my wheezy old Celeron laptop with 256Mb RAM and does a nice job with Xfce. Easy to install, too, and not a bad package management system once you get used...

I'm sure you've already thought of all this but -

London is in many ways a mixture of New York and one of the Continental capitals - Berlin, Madrid, Rome - it's a great place but you do have to keep your wits about you slightly.

Just a couple of thoughts -

Do you have the CompizConfig Settings Manager installed? If not, you can find it in Synpatic Package Manager and install it from there

If you have got it, go to the...

Running Hardy 8.04.1 I've just moved over from 32-bit to 64-bit and so far I'm very pleased.

I've got a wired connection, so wifi isn't an issue. I grabbed all the restricted extras plus...
