Re: [ubuntu-uk] Squid proxy box with serious IPv6 DNS problem...

I saw that post before, it's what I used to supposedly turn off IPv6. I can't run FF on the server, no gui installed... Lee OK, well I am pretty much out of ideas. You could try plugging it into a hub (not a switch, just a cheap nasty hub) and using another computer on the hub running wireshark to figure out at the packet level what sort of DNS queries it is doing.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu pre-installed computer prices
2009/3/25 Matt Jones m...@mattjones.me.uk: In the past, that opinion was fairly valid. Now, the celerons are actually quite speedy little chips, espescially for an Ubuntu box that is going to run web/openoffice/music all day. As for recommending a Via over the current (Dual core) celerons, they are quite a long way behind in performance terms, and not really any cheaper. I've read this discussion on the benefits or otherwise of Celerons with interest. I certainly would agree that the very first Intel Celerons were a waste of time. But, as far as I'm concerned, the latest Celerons are more than adequate for the average PC user as long they don't plan to run 3D graphics/games. I'm particularly impressed with the staying power of the E1400. I think that the option should be offered to have either LTS or the most current release as an option. For a consumer use, the new software available in a non LTS release does offer benefits over the staid reliability of the LTS. Urgh, thanks guys, now I'm thinking I should offer 8.10 again :-) Perhaps it'd be easier if I just sidestepped this issue for now and skip straight to 9.04 when it arrives!

My approach is to suggest LTS for users who will use conventional office based activites - (at home or business) I gather there is a non optimum situation in 8.04 re its sound - pulse audio iirc Later releases if its users will appreciate the recent stuff. Depending on the particular release of course. Will attract some users. Keep in mind nominal cost offering end user support too? It will keep you in touch with your customers and fill a need with wider population of real newcomers. good luck -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
