Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu-UK forum
I have to admit, when I was a new user, I much preferred the Forums over mailing lists/IRC, mainly (I think) because of the pretty colours. As time goes on however, I find myself on the forums less and less, and taking part in mailing list discussions more and more. (I also seem to end up on IRC most nights). I think the ideal solution is the one others have mentioned, have it like ubuntu-users, primarily mailing list, pretty web interface for those that want/need it. Freddie :) -- Yesterday it worked.

[ubuntu-uk] Introduction
After my first post I thought I'd better say a proper "Hi" to those that don't know me. Not sure how active I'll be on here yet, but decided to join as I'm expecting to use Ubuntu for customer installs (when I can get them to use Linux on the desktop). I'm (slowly) coming round to using Ubuntu myself, particularly after using it on a laptop at a recent event and finding it very quick and easy to plug a USB key into it and get it recognised. That said I haven't yet had the time to do and install and get it customised to my was of working yet - Debian is still far quicker to get setup the way I like it and works out of the box on more of my machines. I guess I'm just awkward and like to be too much in control for the 'easy to install' distributions ;) All that said, if I can help get Ubuntu working the way I like then it will soon become my personal distribution of choice as well as my customer distribution of choice :) I can almost hear Popey muttering "oh no, who let him in here" ;) -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

I may be a bit slow keeping up on this list at the moment, but move to a forum (well, one that isn't transparantly accessible via a mailing list as well) and I'm gone - not a deliberate act of "I'm off", more a case of I never get back to forums, but do check on mailing lists as I check through my mail.

Tony, try looking through the contents of that package (which you can do at the site Robert mentioned if you haven't installed it) to see if it includes a file like the one Popey mentioned earlier.
