Lotus Symphony 3 is now out of beta :)(but the ubuntu package is still for hardy :().

I have just had my first "problem" using symphony, just after I launched it for the first time:

This has been published in the official linux mint blog recently:

Anyone worried about ram usage should first eliminate gwibber.:mad: We can talk about the rest later, when we have time to spare.

btw, opera latest version uses three times more ram at startup...

When chrome was first introduced, it was surprisingly light, but lately it has become very demanding on resources.

Personally, I don't use chrome because the font setting is a pita(guess it's...

If you are using open source drivers, then you could take a look at LMDE, which is based on debian testing. At-least theoretically, you will never have to re-install it if you update regularly.

Another source is http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/ttf-ubuntu-font-family in deb format.

I think, if they want to release CUT snapshots at predictable and frequent intervals(less than six months), then they will have to maintain a rolling distro, as a prerequisite, which is not subject...

Disappointing news,:( but thanks for the insider info.:)

<joke>Here is my proposal: Open a stackexchange "Reception" site for resolving the issue about where to post the the question first.

Or stackexchange should appoint a traffic police force to...

In my opinion, askubuntu should allow questions related to any software that can be run on ubuntu(except windows programs run on wine). It will be assumed that the person asking the question runs...

Barter is ok, but in this particular case it is somewhat awkward. I won't take a piece of hardware even if the person agrees to give it to me because, maybe he/she a gullible person and I am just...

I changed my signature a bit after reading this.:twisted:

Ubuntuforums didn't have the "official" tag for a long time. In that period the forum theme resembled closely to the ubuntu.com theme.(Can some forum official please tell us exactly when ubuntuforums...

Thanks, I feel relieved.:)

@badp, can the format of stackexchange/askubuntu be implemented by anyone else? If not, then it is not compatible with free software principles(imagine that the "format" of a discussion forum is...

True, but a solution is just around the corner. Debian is planning a "rolling" branch which will be a true rolling release distribution.
Can Debian offer a Constantly Usable Testing distribution?...

The version of the popular youtube client Minitube in the lucid repos is frozen at 0.9: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/minitube
Heck! Even version 1.0 stopped working long ago! The current...

Hey wait!
Have you seen Spicebird?.. though not "minimalist" by definition, the interface is nice and is also easy to work with.(particularly if you focus on the mail tab and ignore the other tabs)...

I tried to download it twice but had to cancel the downloads because the speeds were unbearably low.:(

I also do that frequently but I run the "apt-get update" part only and then I check what updates are available before deciding to upgrade.

It's unfortunate that, considering Guake's usefulness,...

Actually it's amazing! For the clueless, let me mention here that Guake is a terminal emulator like Gnome terminal. It has replaced the functions of both gnome terminal and the Alt+F2 window for me. ...

Can you really blame me if the world started to appear somewhat topsy-turvy after some recent developments.:mad:

In b4 recurring..

Is it vanilla Mint Isadora or is it LMDE?

Opensolaris was forked sometime ago, Openoffice just got forked - what next, mysql? (Not to mention a fork of java already exists in the form of C#)
