  4. Poll: Re: What Do You Think Of Ubuntu's 10.10 Software Center And The Ability To Purchase A

    So wrong! Imagine a leading Linux distro in 50 years... Your ideas are outdated, sorry. It's not greed, it is the way Linux and the awesome Ubuntu need to go. The potential for companies to realise...

  6. Poll: Re: What Do You Think Of Ubuntu's 10.10 Software Center And The Ability To Purchase A

    I think it's great too. I expect a lot of distros will moan about the open source free philosophy but in the real world this will be a milestone for Ubuntu.

    [ubuntu] Re: Read Vista burned DVD in Ubuntu (EASY)

    I'm not sure the OS that burned the DVD should count so much. Might be more to do with enabling the viewing of DVDs in Ubuntu. Have a look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats...
