    Re: Debian files: Just as bad as executables?

    There is no solution, other than inspecting each and every .deb you wish to install. There is always a compromise.

    *BSD and *solaris are essentially derivatives of the UNIX which was developed very early on by AT&T and friends, and they have a lot of common code between them and UNIX.

  6. Re: I just got root access to my University faculty server, what do I do?

    I would send a "bug" report to the IT department. Tell them about the problem you had accessing your home folder and that after the error occurred you appeared to have access to the entire server....
  7. Re: Microsoft's Jeff Jones has 'discovered' Ubuntu :

    This kills me.

    First, Microsoft don't report all patched vulnerabilities the way open-source does. If they can hide the fact anything was ever patched they will. If you report a security...
  8. Re: is it harmful to move a laptop when it is in slepp mode?

    I doubt that moving your HDD will cause the heads to crash into the platters. The distance between the heads and platters is so microscopically small, that if either moved a significant amount, they...

    Re: anything like adobe lightroom?

    Another bump for Bibble 5. Even the beta was damn fast. It has a native linux client but it's not free in either sense. Still, I dont mind paying for quality apps and this is one of them.

    Those PS3's would only take 1.3s to crack a 6 digit password if only lower-case letters were used. 83 seconds if upper and lower case are used. Less than 10 minutes if numbers and the characters...

    Re: KDE, XFCE/Pretty, GNOME, not so much

    I like Gnome really. And how it looks in Ubuntu is just a theme, and themes can be easily changed.

    I don't know why they chose Gnome as the default for Ubuntu but it is easy to use and is...

    Don't look as boot times. Look at how long it takes from pressing the power button to loading your web browser and loading these forums.

    Well, ok, to satisfy the OP, Canonical should just stop funding everything to do with Ubuntu? Or perhaps he wants as much funding for Kubuntu as for Ubuntu? What about Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Lubuntu...
