I found the solution (some time ago actually) but thought I'd post it just in case someone else have the same problem. It's fairly obvious so I don't know why I overlooked it.

apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-core x11-common xserver-xorg
will probably do the trick and should remove any other x-server package as well. You'll want to simulate it first just to see what...
I don't know what the permissions trouble might be but I think .xinitrc is the correct file to put the command to start xfce in. Then I think the correct way is to end your .bash_profile with the...
Try this, it will remove Gnome for starters. You'll probably want to do that from to console mode and then remove everything that has to do with x-server as well. Should get you pretty close to a...
Hi,
I use the menu key to invoke the root menu. All very nice but I'd rather like to use the menu key too toogle the root menu, i.e. invoke it if it isn't visible and hide it if it is visible. Is...
Use the command "find". The option "-size" is what you're looking for. Have a look at "man find", you should get a hang of it after investing some ten minutes of reading.

The best way is to ditch XP ;)
Perhaps you can use a tpipe too redirect the output to both speaker and file?
Haven't tried anything like it myself but I don't see why it shouldn't work.

For lightweight I like pcmanfm or emelfm2. mc if you want a CLI option.

You can't resize the root partition when you use it. This means you have to unmount it. Boot the computer with a live CD (ubuntu installation CD fits the bill) and fire up gparted and give it another...
Not sure what funionfs is but when I used a DE I didn't like that some partitions showed up on the desktop (I just wanted the USB-stick to show up, not, for example, the windows partition. I solved...
uh, right-clicking on it in your favorite file-manager and choosing "restore"?
acl is an option. They are stated and separated with a comma, not the way you wrote. This is an example from my fstab, on one of my partitions:

yes.
My tune is to keep the ground support light and nimble and if I want to squander my system resources I do it on a specific task (i.e. fluxbox and pcmanfm to get a GUI going but if I need to write a...
Normally I use xine. I find it very able and easy too use. VLC is getting lots of recommendations and not without cause but I was surprised that it's awesome configurability hasn't been mentioned....
If .bash_profile does not exist the shell will read .profile.
A graphical login is just a GUI for a CLI login (i.e. whether you login on the command line and then start x-server manually or if you...
If I remember correctly it goes something like this :
If these files don't exist, the system reads the default file (this is pretty standard with any configuration file and usually they are in...
Uhm, use the automatic format option (or whatever it's called), which uses the entire disk as one partition? (unless of course you have other stuff on the disk that you want to keep...)
Couldn't you just use the Ubuntu server installation disk's own partition manager? I don't know which server edition you're using but the installation process will lead you to set up partitions....
I don't think it shouldn't have killed the HD per se really, it just makes all those security precautions that goes with Linux totally obsolete. Now, a chown would definitely have bungled the system...
Really nice theme! I might just switch to it...

ps @ RS: I seldom check in these days, I'm mostly on Debian and occasionally on Arch but I re-read most of this thread today (at least...
Indeed. And to clarify yet some more (as this is the absolute beginners forum) for anyone reading the OP this part:
dpkg -l > installed_apps will actually create a file named installed_apps in the...
I used to have a separate /home but right now I don't. If you muck about a lot, experiment and break stuff it's usually a good idea. Same if you do a lot of re-installs (for whatever reason) and like...
Yup. In keys-file, use:
[KEY] :ExecCommand amarok -t
