Followed as per page 42-3 in the manual but am getting inconsistent results as I look to see what pc is assigned what ip. And oft the pc I am using to set up there doesn't appear at all on any of the pages but seems to get a dynamic ip even tho both mac address and ip are specified as I enter them. This seems weird behaviour to me. It just struck me as I was rereading your reply. I saw the word reservations there and the reserve option next to dynamic addresses when they show. So when each of the pc's came up with a dynamic ip instead of static I checked the reserve option and saved and rebooted the modem. Now I finally have a static ip for each of them. Now it's time to try and get the port forwarding working my end Thx again so far James -- If you know that fundamentally there is nothing to seek, you have settled your affairs Rinzai -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

beta-live CD vs daily live CD
Hi all, I'm looking into installing a new xubuntu box for my mum next week. I want to give the latest 9.04 xubuntu a spin on her 'new/refurbished' hardware. As I will be away from next week I can't install her the final release so it will be either the latest alpha or a daily live build. What would you recommend? I will test the latest alpha/beta and see how the hardware does but at some stage she will need to run the update. On a 500 MB plan downloading a whole distribution update will most likely leave her without any quota for the rest of the month. So would it be better to install the possibly latest daily live and hope that less packages change or does that not matter?

Re: beta-live CD vs daily live CD
With a limited download plan I'd actually recommend sticking with 8.10 instead.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I thought about this a bit and while I wanted to give my mum the latest bling of jaunty I honestly don't think she will care that much.

I will make sure here home is on a separate partition and I set up some backup routine for her... maybe simply a dropbox 'mirror'. Regarding the ISP, yes I'd agree that the free quota for the updates is very cool.

Vmware on 64bit ubuntu
Hi all, Can anyone tell me if its possible to run Vmware workstation on 64 bit Ubuntu using more than 4 gig of RAM? Sorry for the vagueness of the question, but Im doing some research for a friend who is currently a windows user but is considering 64 Ubuntu so that he can get better RAM usage to setup a virtual test environment.

So if you install on 8.10 now, you can't skip 9.04 and go straight to 9.10. As far as my experience has gone, Ubuntu upgrades have been so successful for me that upgrading every 6 months is only a minor inconvenience.
