[ubuntu-uk] Cheep
Did we ever get to a conclusion as to whether Cheeplinux are now in Marie Celeste Website mode, or has simply changed their company name or something? Would be interested to know as I have recommended people go there in the past, though not lately.

One is connected to a stereo and therefore has sound. the other does not. I have been thinking for some time there must be a way to share the sound card from one PC to he other in similar way that I can share the Printer.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Cheap Laptop [Was: recommend a small form factor pc]
I like Novatech and have one of their laptops - the laptop chassis is great overall, however the case is stylish but a bit flimsy - spongy keyboard and the battery fell out after a couple of months (a regular occurrence according to the forums). That's why I got my latest batch from eBuyer (also without OS). They don't look as good, their touchpads are crud, but their chassis is sturdy. Dunno about Novatech's desktops. I got a couple of pre-built barebones AMD Sempron boxes from Yoyotech for £130 a year ago but they don't seem to have deals on end-of-line motherboards anymore - also these were low-end gamers boxes (I use them for media) and if you don't need the graphics they'll just waste leccie. eBuyer often have prebuilt barebones without OS - I've had laptops and PC boxes from them and they've been cheap and sturdy. Their cheapest at the mo is around £230 (4 GB RAM, 2.8 GHz Intel with onboard graphics) though so not as cheap as the Asus option.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] recommend a small form factor pc
It would be a lovely little machine if we could get it running some Linux system or other. It won't run Ubuntu but Puppy should be OK on it. Puppee has drivers for the Intel Celeron and wifi chip in the early eeePCs, better check how easy it is to install on this particular laptop though. http://puppeee.com/web/download/ I've got Puppee on my eeepc because as soon as I open Firefox on Lucid, the processor starts running at 100% with appalling latency - Puppee it runs beautifully. Or just use standard Puppy. God, I need to do some work . . . Paula -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] The Connected Car (anti-climax)
Hi all, Got a little excited when I looked at this article as there is mention of Linux in the inset image. See page 22: http://journal-download.co.uk/digitalmagazines//ad/ad01sep2010fullad.pdf But unfortunately that's as far as it goes... was hoping it was going to be about how automotive manufacturers were going to start employing linux software in their cars. Interesting though how the big car manufacturers have for so long been in the mindset to develop their own proprietary systems.

[ubuntu-uk] Forwarding Mail From A Rule With Evolution
Hi I have setup a rule to forward certain mail. However when the rule fires it sends the forward mail to the Outbox but never sends the mail until you either send another email or click send and receive. I am checking my IMAP account every 5 mins but this doesn't send the message in the outbox. How do i get it to send immediately or on a schedule?

[ubuntu-uk] Teamviewer now ported to Linux
Hurrah! I can now use a Windows Remote support app that I am familiar with on my Linux boxes to easily (for me) remote support windows boxes hundreds of miles away!

Apparently you cannot get to the BIOS to make it boot from USB, so you are stuck with Win CE, read it on the main Ubuntu forum a while back. Steve -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Hmmm, just trying to set up the Windows binary, however I get a lot of errors. Is there something I need to set up first? Not really used to setting these sort of things up under Windows...
