I havent posted to the forums in awhile. I no longer use Ubuntu for reasons related to how members were treated during the change to Unity. But I cant leave people with a problem and not have the fix...
I have never been banned. I have had few problems in most places I go, including here. If you take the total so called problem posts against my total post count it the percentage is about .0006, kind...
This is exactly why I stopped posting long ago. This forum was not a place where someone is free to express their opinions, it seems its only to have gotten worse with time. The cafe was always a...
This post was made 4 weeks ago, can I please have an update on when I should expect some sort of determination?
md5sum is a hash of the disk file. Its a long number usaly found next to the download link on the mint pages. Here is a page that will help you check that. It will make sure you have a good file to...

Well said :) What draws some people to linux is the ability to change things. Even if its just moving a panel. Sadly thats not available and the responses I have seen is along the lines of "why would...
I do mass installs of Linux for various church and school groups. My preferred install distro is currently Xubuntu. It can be made to run on older donated equipment and has a ton of packages...

I have just been threatened by a member of the forum staff in a private message.
Good we can agree on one thing, we dont like the others setup. Mine is a fresh install, soon I will polish it up a little.
Gnome more closely resembles older versions of the mac os, like 9 than...
Gnome 3 is Gnome shell. Unity is Unity. Unity use some parts of gnome 3, but not the shell. But they are both bad designs that make it harder for people to accomplish things than what came before...
Has Ubuntu forums gotten so politically correct that a member is given a warning for saying that "some" nameless people who leave a os exactly as it is are like sheep? ay it isnt so please.

Some people are like sheep. They use the default install, perhaps changing the wallpaper or the colors. Others like myself never leave anything alone. For an example you might want to look at the...
Ubuntu has gone off the deep end with Unity imho. They are dictating placement of things on a foss desktop. You are going to get people leaving. That may not be a big problem right now as there are...
I like the fact that in making the new version the developers added the gnome shell packages to the repositories, even though I dont like Gnome-shell. Leaving experienced users to do what they wanted...
Because the open source project is finally showing its true face, that in reality it cares noting about the wishes of its users. Strangely they have no conception of the fact that if someone changed...
Before burning that cd, did you check the md5sum of the image you downloaded? I dont understand why you cant boot the 64bit edition, perhaps you need to file a bug report. Because your processor is...

cat /proc/cpuinfo
Hit enter and paste the results to a post here.
