On the one hand you're promoting Linux. On the other you're promoting it in order to get free board and food at the Uni, promoting yourself and a friend as preferred candidates for jobs you're pushing the University to create, then asking other people to do large chunks of the work for you. You'll have to forgive me if it initially looks a little self-serving; creating PPAs of other people's work and filing and triaging bugs on your own project can only be a first step (and although it makes your karma look good you haven't actually contributed anything). I'd suggest setting up a prototype system and filing bugs and feature requests against Ubuntu, not your pet project. There's no need for a "fork" here; we'd just end up with a spork (neither one thing nor the other, doing neither job particularly well). Plus doesn't Fedora have a spin that does all of this already? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/K12Linux Why not try to get this functionality integrated into Edubuntu? Wait, no, already done... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP I guess my question is this: why won't any existing solutions do the job?

I have a clean vanilla Karmic install running in a VM (was messing around with Android SDK) which I'm using as a reference point (the native Lucid install on my laptop has a /home that's come with me from sometime around the Feisty herds - so the settings aren't anywhere near default!).

On a new install Shift-Alt-Tab does not work - whereas on my CCSM-customised desktop it works fine. So it's just a setting that needs to be switched.

I've done some (admittedly unscientific) testing running two VirtualBox VMs concurrently off the same NTFS disk* (Karmic and Windows 7 on a Lucid host). With 2009.4.4 there was significant lag; programs and menus took a noticeable time to appear. After updating to 2010.1.16 both are purring along nicely, even when the host has disk activity (such as aptitude installing a kernel update) which previously made a single VM lag. Considering how trivial it was to install from source it can't be difficult to include in Lucid? Or do we need to file a request somewhere? Jonathon * I have a couple of reasons for this. One, I can defrag the disk images as to save space I have them set as dynamic allocation. Two, I can access the machines in Windows when I have to. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Re: [karmic regression] all network apps / browsers suffer from multi-second delays by default due to IPv6 DNS lookups
A "better" (read "more global") workaround might be to disable ipv6 at the kernel, e.g. by passing ipv6.disable=1 via GRUB.
