I have a Kindle 3G (the new one with both GSM and WiFi) and it is great for reading ebooks. PDF rendering depends on the source materials, and is not as good as it could be. snip Kind regards, travis I just bought one from Tesco last night (111GBP) for my wife. I think the screen technology is amazing. In this digital age, it is THE best way to replace paper hard copies.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Remote support for family friends
I believe it does use Wine for everything. They just code the application on Windows, they don't have true Linux support... -- *Scott Pashley* -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] Preventing shutdown on a remote machine
Hi, I've installed ubuntu on my dad's machine and he's very happy with it. I'm doing online backups from his computer to my machine with rsync initiated from my end. The only problem I'm having is that my dad has a habit of shutting down his machine before the (incremental) backup is complete. What I'd like to do is inhibit his ability to shutdown the machine during the backup and hopefully display a message to him explaining why. Cheers Dan -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
