I use Debian and an alpha build of Firefox/Iceweasel. You can find that and more here:

When you install applications in Wine, they go into your home folder (in ~/.wine/) and this is not removed when you uninstall wine. If you wish to remove them, delete ~/.wine/ and edit your menus...
But of course. You're using cmd.exe, in Windows. Your problem is with screen flickering in Ubuntu, correct? If the same problem happens in both Windows and Ubuntu, it may be a hardware malfunction.

If you have something new to add that hasn't been said already, then I see nothing wrong with it. If, on the other hand, the entirety of your post is "bump", then I hate you.
Do you want this to apply to the system TTY's (when Xorg isn't running) or to a terminal emulator (i.e. gnome-terminal)? If it's the latter, and you're never going to be touching the TTY's, then it's...
Which driver are you using?
Alt-F2 (run dialog) gksudo jockey should bring up a nice program for managing 3rd-party/proprietary drivers. Look for and try using other drivers, but first and...
I'll throw in my vote for Chromium (it uses far less memory and multithreads), but it ironically has had some problems with Google Docs (page becomes unresponsive). Also, the way it renders/displays...
Try putting a trailing slash after the dot (in "find .") and enclose the expression in single quotes.
Main Menu -> System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> "Fonts" tab
Install more font packages if you don't like the ones available by default. There are plenty out there in the repos.
Plain old Debian is pretty good and, in my experience, is far lighter/faster than Ubuntu. The only annoying thing about it I've run across so far is that the GNOME power manager inhibitor applet...
see edit of original post.
It would be good to start with Python. GTK is largely written in Python, and functions within its API can very easily be invoked via Python, though there's C/++ in it as well.
There's a nice GUI hardware profiler available for Ubuntu and Linux in general if you want to get really into detailed system specs (I forgot what it's called), but the fastest way to get information...
Before you look any further into coding I highly recommend you acquaint yourself with version control & revision tracking software like Git, CVS, Mercurial & Bazaar. All open-source projects use...
This.
Also: to boot to a CD, you'll need to know how to change the boot order in the machine's BIOS settings.

Exactly my point (the tense in my post was just ambiguous). Not everyone likes it and that's fine by me, as long as there's no misjudging of people who do like it (and I haven't seen you go in that...
Ah'm okay with this. Not everyone lacks immunity to the great pony epidemic. See an episode or two, decide you don't like it, everyone has different tastes.

Hokay, now to post something relevant to Linux.
It wasn't that difficult. I just had to add a line to /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme (with the path to the PNG file to be used) and then re-run...
Is it an internal USB card reader? Wait a few seconds, it should be mounted in /media automatically, and an icon/shortcut for it should appear on your desktop. If that doesn't happen, use the...
Very nice! I'm still (in no hurry) trying to customize the login screen -- actually I rarely see it since I just dm-crypt my home partition and log in automatically after unlocking it at boot. But I...
True, if you're referring to earlier iterations of the franchise;
I thought this was going to be a thread about a new show about Linux. I am disappoint.
...Well, not really. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is the reason why I've been posting much less...
If there's no card in the reader then there's nothing to mount. When you insert a card it should be recognized as a block device, and from there you can either mount it manually or have HAL mount it...
Did the source come with a configuration script of some sort? Have you reviewed the "README" and/or "INSTALL" files for instructions specific to building and installing that particular software...
