Re: [ccp4bb] Updating Ubuntu 18 LTS to 20?
Dear Boaz I'm replying to the bulletin, for others to also benefit from the conversation. I was hoping for more (positive) replies and decided I will not upgrade it for now. I will wait for the 22 or 24 LTS release and then very likely buy a new SSD for a clean installation, keeping the current set-up intact on the old drive. Hope that helps.

[ccp4bb] Updating Ubuntu 18 LTS to 20?
Hi all, has anyone updated the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver to the never 20.04? That means with programs we usually have installed (java, phython, xds, ccp4 & coot, phenix, R, data warrior, pymol, nomacine, etc)? Any troubles, recommendations? 22 LTS is coming out this year, I'm not sure if jumping from 18 to 22 would be a good idea, but 18 is getting old.

Re: [ccp4bb] 2019 mid-range & high-end LINUX laptops for structural biology
Hi all, just wanted to share with you that I purchased Dell Precision 5530 back then and it has been working like a dream for more than 2 years now. Flawlessly running all kind of software in ubuntu, and windows (when needed) as a dual boot or just virtually for easier tasks like Office or similar.

[ccp4bb] 2019 mid-range & high-end LINUX laptops for structural biology
Dear CCP4 community, My 8-year-old Dell Inspiron with Ubuntu 10 is waving goodbye and I would ask for some help on this bulletin as buying/setting up a new workstation is common trouble in our community. Has anyone recently set up a laptop for structural work with all the MD, docking, etc. *in silico *simulations? Is dual boot Linux/Win still a thing, or do you rather run Windows virtually (which VM software)? Are there any known issues with Nvidia Quadro P series GPUs or Intel i5 processors? Has anyone tried Xeon/ECC on a laptop? Does Ubuntu LTS still win the hearts of non-enthusiasts? Any successfully tested laptops (with names and/or listed configuration) are very welcome and any answers that include fruits or hamburger names may be kindly avoided :) Thanks a lot, Domen To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB=1
