  1. Re: Currently what is the best method to install latex in Ubuntu?

    I always install manually, I never bothered with the texlive in the repositories since I consider it obsolete most of the time. At the moment they still seem to be using texlive 2009 which was frozen...

    Poll: Re: Alternatives to GNOME 3 and Unity

    In my office I still run 10.10 with gnome 2. Perhaps I will upgrade to xubuntu 11.10, but I am not sure yet. At home I alternate between Xfce and Awesome wm in Arch. On occasion I mess a bit with...

    [SOLVED] Re: Add .eps files to Latex (Texmaker)

    I would recommend using pdf2latex with eps2pdf to convert the images on the fly to pdf. You might need to add --shell-escape to the compile command to get it to work.

    Why not have a look at Mate. The website seems to have been down for a while, but there is still activity on github and the Arch forum.

    If it almost fits you could shrink the contents a bit using

    I used to juggle quite a lot, but haven't in a long time now. I can do 4 balls quite comfortably, but never went over that. I blame the ceiling :)

    Re: Need info on Shell Scripting

    There is the advanced bash scripting guide
    http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

    The 'Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible' is quite a nice book, I think.

    Re: What's the point in complaining?

    I meant "and" in the sense of having both installed and sometimes working in one or the other. Most of the time I use Xfce, but recently I started playing with openbox again.

    If you don't agree with an idea, because you think it is fundamentally flawed, it is fairly difficult to give criticism that will be considered...
