    Thanks.

    What changed? Has what was broken previously been fixed?

    Re: Tutorials Section Re-opening

    Your reply explains why it was changed in the first place. It doesn't explain why you're considering re-opening it again.

    Interesting, but it's a bit difficult to express views without knowing more detail about the plans for this.
    What's the goal?
    What's wrong with the way it currently works?

    With all due respect you're deluded.

    [ubuntu] Re: Ubuntu on MacBookPro7,1

    It's not new hardware. It's a chip-set which is already supported in the Linux kernel, not a new device lacking support entirely, but a device for which there is support, but it's broken in this...

    [ubuntu] Re: Ubuntu on MacBookPro7,1

    It's a flaw in the kernel which ships with the LTS release. Therefore it's a flaw in the LTS release.

    [ubuntu] Re: Ubuntu on MacBookPro7,1

    It's a bug given it's a currently shipping device from a well known manufacturer, and we're shipping LTS CDs which won't work on it.

    [ubuntu] Re: 64-bit computer

    Just to clear up some misinformation. It _is_ possible to address more than 3.2GB on a 32-bit install of Ubuntu.

    Re: Ubuntu to make big announcement tomorrow?

    Because when many people test something that's not working, the developers get deluged with "It's broken" and blogs get flooded with "It's rubbish".
