[ubuntu-uk] Windows?

2015-01-22 Thread Barry Drake

http://view.email.telegraph.co.uk/?j=fe8917787060077572m=fe991570766c027975ls=fe1d1d70766c0d7f7d1176l=ff051570746503s=fe1b15767067037a7c1c76jb=ff991674ju=fe2615747c610774741c71r=0


Pity it doesn't mention Linux though.

Regards,Barry.

Be aware that some deluded people are using things like outlook that top

Because it mentions Google Chrome and Android - both of which are 
non-Windows operating systems (and both of which are Linux based).

Outlook?   Ah yes, I remember    amazed it's still around.  I gave 
Outlook Express up for Pegasus mail way back in the '80s.  This really 
brings back memories.  Hard to imagine many using a Microsoft program on 
an Ubuntu list though.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Unwanted kernels .....

 Right, gotit, thanks.  I deduce from what I see that 14.04
 automatically uninstalls (or at least makes available for
 autoremoving) all except the current and previous kernel, and all that
 is left is the conf files for previous versions.  Thus (if I am
 correct) there should no longer be any need to worry about old
 kernels, which is great.

Right, kernels are marked as autoinstalled by default and the latest 3
are overridden to be 'needed'.  This lets apt-get autoremove drop all
the older ones.  A couple of you have mentioned that there are a number
of kernels listed, mostly with 'rc' at the start.  That implied they
were removed but not purged, as the kernel really doesn't bring any
config files purging them is safe and reasonable.  I use 'apt-get
autoremove --purge' to cleanup and avoid these building up (existing
ones can be cleared with apt-get purge name).

I also have used the following incantation to pull older kernels from
before the change to auto-track the latest three into the system and let
autoremove have at them:

  sudo apt-mark auto `apt-mark showmanual 
'^linux-(headers|image|image-extra|cloud-tools|tools)-[0-9]'`

Yeah I know I am very late to the party :).
