There is no secret that I like Ubuntu, but I have an older computer (Dell D630 laptop) and all the new "bling" in the Ubuntu desktop version is just to much for my computer. I have been looking for an alternative. For a awhile I ran Linux Mint with Cinnamon, and to be honest I really don't have a problem with that distribution, it has a lot of benefits and Cinnamon is an good looking

At first I found it difficult to adjust into the new system. But, now my mind is changing… Unity is getting very stable and it does have a lot of good features. But the biggest problem is that Gnome Shell and Unity both introduced Big new features all at ones! And Unity have a lot to improve, but I think you should give it a chance in 11.10. So, here is how to install Gnome shell in Ubuntu 11.10

Running the latest Ubuntu (11:10)? And wonder why you do not get Firefox 8? Run the following in a terminal window; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppasudo apt-get update & & sudo apt-get upgrade And you have solved the problem. :)

Some problems in Ubuntu 11.10, because it ships with Firefox 7 (and if you added Firefox 8), Telia is still blocking access for this version, still. But they have provided a workaround.

New Ubuntu is out. Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx (LTS). So whats new? Ubuntu 10.04 is a LTS (Long Time Support) version, it means that the makers of Ubuntu will support the version (desktop) for 3 years (instead just until the next version released). My first Ubuntu installation was Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) and since then I have install all Ubuntu versions that have come out from Canonical Ltd.

Buy default Ubuntu 10.04 comes with OpenJDK Java 6 runtime (or without any Java plug-in at all). And for my most important use of Java (Citrix, Bank ID, Net-ID etc.) I can't use these Java plug-ins and have to remove OpenJDK (etc.) and install Sun/Oracle Java 6. Lets go through this.

The Ubuntu 10.04 alternate installation CD/DVD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Ubuntu. It provides for the following situations: setting up automated deployments; upgrading from older installations without network access; LVM and/or RAID partitioning; installs on systems with less than about 256MB of RAM (although note that low-memory systems may not be able to run a

In Ubuntu 9.04 all you have to do is to go to Telia's site ( https://cve.trust.telia.com/testa/ ), and fallow the instructions to install the software. For older versions of Ubuntu ( 8.10 - 6.10 ) please read on. I assume that your system is up and running online and that you are using Mozilla FireFox 2.0.0.x, installed Jave 6 and Net iD.

Unfortunately, Ubuntu only provide the obsolete libmotif3 version and the not the current version 4 that the receiver is built against. The easiest solution is to install libmotif3 and then make a link to it. Which will make the version 3 library appear as the version 4 one. Not ideal but it seems to work.

In Ubuntu 9.04 I had no problems at all with Juniper SSL it self, worked out-of-the-box. But since the last Juniper software update they "looked" access from non Windows clients for VPN connections.
