Re: [Linux-aus] Monash Computer Co-op
Ask them to contact me - I live close by and actually have been willing to contact them, but I could not get a contact. Most happy to help - I actually am an very old member of the Coop.

We will be installing GNU/Linux (not sure what distro yet) on the refurbished machines. We're looking for any expressions of interest of people that would like to help with training members of the co-op to train users with the software. I know it's hard to say when we don't have software specifics, we should be able to sort that out in February. It's expression of interest, no commitment. We are based at the Clayton campus in SE Melbourne, and meet during University hours on Fridays during semester, but for the training we should be able to organise another time. We are always looking for hardware donations of computers or parts that are no longer needed, and anything is appreciated.

Re: Stand up for Linux. Stop Microsoft from attempting to kill ubuntu and other Linux Distros.

I can see a perfectly legitimate corporate use case for supplying PCs locked at BIOS level so they can't boot anything other than an SOE-approved and digitally signed OS image. This will remove the ability for corporate PCs to be hijacked with a non-SOE OS, which I'm sure will have many CIOs and SysAdmins breathing a little easier. If there is such a demand, then it makes more (commercial) sense to have such boxes available as an option at a premium price - so MS makes $ by charging premium, and those legimate coporate use case get what they want. But does not a PC physically locked down, with BIOS Password and no other boot device than internal harddrive accessible or USB boot disabled, achievee the same thing? Also remember the emerging trend towards BYO Computing, so there is a trend to less emphasis on locked down PCs, because there are other benefits to allowing users more freedom in how they use their PC. Daniel. But I don't think this will be the type of box/config you'd have to get as your home/personal PC. I imagine we'll just get a plain new PC, plus Windows 8 in a box, as a non-OEM option. The box might come with W8 preinstalled, but it won't have to be a signed and locked version. Then we'd partition it up and set up Windows and Linux multiple-boot as per usual. Or just buy a box with no OS on it at all, and Linux all the way. AFAIK, the option to REQUIRE signed OS images is just that, one possible option in the system configuration... -- Daniel Jitnah Melbourne, Australia e: djit...@greenwareit.com.au w: www.greenwareit.com.au SIP: dj-...@ekiga.net ** For All your Linux, Open Source and IT requirements visit: www.greenwareit.com.au ** -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I throttled down the CPU to keep it cooler and use less power. the hinge on he screen cracked - so it can't be used as laptop - other than that - i think its indestructible. Daniel This was running Ubuntu 10.04 until today...it worked but was fairly lethargic. I downloaded the 32 bit peppermint 2 iso and burned it to a CD (on another machine) and have just installed it. Works great, much more responsive and it recognises both my netgear wg111 wireless nic and my new wireless printer just like U 10.04.

Re: 11.04
Hello I installed 11.04 about a week ago. I tend to share a lot of Chris Robinsons experience and opinion. In my long years of using GUI's I have to say I am find Unity the less intuitive to adjust to. Have tried all the Windows flavors (except Win 7), Apple/Mac, OS/2, several Linux desktops (KDE, Gnome, Xfce, Icewvm, lxed, and several lightweight ones) but Unity is the one that beats me!! 1. Not very configurable, or if it is, it is not intuitively/obviously so. I still have not worked out how to configure out the Launcher panel (add or remove stuff) and if it takes too long to figure out, its bad. I would also like it to hide away, or be smaller. But I can see why other users like it, if they like the launcher paradigm. Perhaps when it is more configurable, I might start to convert to it. I am back to using 11.04 with Gnome and I think it is great. Yes I think there will be a lot of disatisfied users. But they will always be able to go back to Gnome. But 11.10 will be the issue when Gnome will not be availale. May be more users will then try Kubuntu? Cheers Daniel. (BTW: My first post here).
